...so you think this survey is a fabrication?

Yes it is. And I also think you're having some fun trying to stir the pot a little. If you were really a Fred fan you would have known this is complete BS.

Actually there is evidence that calls Huckabee’s pro-life commitment into question, notably taking money in the past year from a leading embryonic stem cell research company to promote the company.

[samtheman]

Sounds like a scurrilous attempt to undermine the Fredster to me.

As does the posting of this rumor here, with the excited "please help" in the title.

I'm VERY skeptical of the motives of the original poster.

Sorry.

See 43, although don’t know how long admin will keep it up.

[SoConPubbie]

Which I believe, but also note that if a supporter of any OTHER candidate tried to make that argument, they would be beat into the ground for it.

Charles,

Very untrue statement!

The difference between Fred being accused of something like this and someone say like Mitt being accused of something like this is that Fred has been CONSISTENTLY CONSERVATIVE, where (with the exception of Hunter and Tancredo) all the other candidates have some very left-leaning skeletons that were recently alive in their past!

It was brought up in the Senate run here in Tennessee and Fred was seen to scratch his head trying to figure out where it came from.

STFU would be sufficient... perhaps someone will post that one, as a mod certainly will zot this one. We have too many families participating for that. I really do appreciate the effort though.

My bad. Didn't eve think. I could have freepmailed it to you.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

[LibLieSlayer]

No harm done. Thanks again!

Fred says Roe is bad law, and should be overturned. Remember, he is a States' rights man, and I believe if it came right to it, he would say it was each state's right to make its own law accordingly.

This is on his website......

“I think Roe vs. Wade was bad law and bad medical science. And the way to address that is through good judges.” ("Fox News Sunday," 3/11/07)

Votes Against Public Funding: S. 1357, Roll Call Vote #539, Motion to waive CBA rejected 55-44: R 46-7, D 9-37, October 27, 1995, Thompson voted Yea; S. 1357, Roll Call Vote #542, Motion to instruct conferees agreed to 56-43: R 46-7, D 10-36, October 27, 1995, Thompson voted Yea; HR 1868, CQ Vote #561: Motion agreed to 53-44: R 12-40; D 41-4, November 1, 1995, Thompson voted Nay

[marlon]

Yes, sorry I just hit the last post as I was in a hurry

[mnehring]

Motion to instruct conferees agreed

Make sure you look at actual bill votes and not all these little Robert's Rules of Order procedures. A couple of sites have vote records really messed up on some candidates because they look at stuff like this versus actual votes on bills. I don't know the details on the bill you posted (I'll go back now) but that phrase jumped out. That vote just authorizes passing of information from one conference committee to another.

[SuziQ]

Hmmm. Reckon PMSNBC and CNN are trying to suppress votes for Fred? Kinda like calling FL for Algore before the polls closed in the Republican heavy panhandle in 2000?

[Jackknife]

That vote just authorizes passing of information from one conference committee to another.

Correct. I merely cut and pasted from his website, and it included what looks like motions and votes. Thanks. ;-)
