Just before Rev. Huckabee climbed on the election bandwagon, his political organization donated money to Planned Parenthood in Arkansas. He also has the enthusiastic support of the NEA.
Pro-lifers and homeschooler...BEWARE!!
I still wonder. I can't figure out why any conservatives would support either of these two bozos.
Oh yeah, Irrational Fear of Hillary Syndrome.
Romney’ record in Massachusetts was quite conservative.
Flaglady, please post along with that letter how much $$$ Romney donated to each signer’s organization immediately prior to their signing the letter.
“Romneys record in Massachusetts was quite conservative.”
And pigs fly.
SATIN: “Huckabee’s political organization donated money to Planned Parenthood in Arkansas.”
That’s a new one. Please provide documentation.
SATIN: “He also has the enthusiastic support of the NEA. pro-lifers and homeschoolers...BEWARE!!”
Wow.
Somebody better tell all those homeschoolers who manned phone banks for Huck in Iowa. And Mike Ferris, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association, who endorsed him. And that home school mom he appointed to the state Board of Education.
The truth is, the NEA has not endorsed him. Their state affiliate in N.H. did, but only because they promised their Repub members they’d endorse a Repub, but choose only from Repubs who came to their convention and talked to them, and he was the only one who went.
Union officials were somewhat deceptive in their endorsement news release, saying they endorsed him because he has opposed vouchers.
But the fact is that many CONSERVATIVE groups don’t support vouchers for fear that govt regulations will follow the transfer of govt funds.
Most School Choice activists now agree that a Universal Tuition Tax Credit is the far preferable mechanism, because it involves no transfer of govt funds.
And whaddaya know...

Huckabee and Education
by Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor in Chief
...Conservatives, I suspect, will find some of Huckabee’s reservations about vouchers more persuasive than others. He cites a compelling argument from Christian school administrators, for example, who told him they fear that “once you take government money, you take government control.”
...Huckabee did offer an alternative route to school choice for parents who don’t want to send their children to public schools.
“I think that we ought to have tax credits for a family whose decision is to put their children in an alternative environment. And that is something that I would support,” he said. “It’s an empowering method to families.”

I am a home schooler. Huckabee, as governor of Arkansas, was “in bed” with the NEA of that state.
And he donated money to Planned Parenthood in Arkansas, just before deciding to run for the Republican candidacy.
Poor planning, I would say.
This information comes from friends in Arkansas, evangelical Christians who are Baptists thoroughly disgusted with the two-faced former governor. These same folks kindly provided me with information about Clinton back in early 1992. Same picture.
The man is not what he seems. Like Romney, like Clinton, he is a powere hungry and a liar.
NEITHER IS HUCKABEE!!
Huckabee is now the frontrunner, after whoopin’ Mitt’s heiny in Iowa.
So—what else to expect but rumors, smears, innuendo, and mudslinging from the Mitt-Losers?
Filed An Act Protecting Religious Freedom in the Massachusetts legislature to save Catholic Charities of Boston and other religious groups from being forced to violate their moral principles or stop doing important charitable work.
I wonder why he forced Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts to distribute the "morning after" pill then, if he's for "religious freedom"?
“We are called to be salt and light, not tools of a sensationalistic, self-interested media, whether it be liberal or conservative.”
If our Lord were to return to us today, would Christian conservatives focus on that, or on the minutae of the latest election?
This obsession with secular politics borders on idolatry.
Thanks for the nice comment.
Thanks for posting, I don’t understand how conservatives can be conned into voting for this guy.

“Flaglady, please post along with that letter how much $$$ Romney donated to each signers organization immediately prior to their signing the letter.”
Your inference regarding Romney is as sleazy as you yourself probably are for making it.
FlagLady, I note that you were unable to offer a substantive response to my request, and thus responded with a personal attack (mild as it was).
The truth, however, is not “sleazy.”
As in the following example...
1. March 2005 — AFTER Romney’s alleged “pro-life” conversion, Mass Citizens for Life truthfully characterizes him in the Boston Globe as an “abortion-rights supporter.”
“Marie Sturgis, legislative director of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, said she hasn’t detected any change in Romney’s stance. The group considers Romney to be an abortion-rights supporter, as do national antiabortion groups such as the Family Research Council.”
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/03/25/roe_v_wade_omitted_from_proclamation/
1. December 2005 — A full year AFTER Romney’s alleged “pro-life” conversion, Massachusetts Citizens for Life criticizes Romney for flip-flopping on whether Catholic hospitals should be forced to provide the morning after pill.

3. December 2006 — Mitt Romney makes $15,000 donation to Massachusetts Citizens for Life.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/us/politics/11romney.html
4. January 2007 — A month after receiving Romney’s $15,000 donation, Mass Citizens for Life signs letter (the one you posted), attesting to Romney’s solid “pro-life” credentials. (Note from the NY Times article that other signers of the letter you posted also received large cash contributions from Romney before signing the letter.)
On second thought, FlagLady, you’re right, there is something “sleazy” about all the above.
So I repeat my original request:
Flaglady, please post along with that letter how much $$$ Romney donated to each signers organization immediately prior to their signing the letter.
