We may battle over doctrine in the church arena and then we may all shift sides and battle in the political arena over political issues. We should not let one affect the other. Some err in that they play down their doctrinal differences because they think it will help their politics. That is a great wrong. Some come from the other direction and trash a person's Christianity because he differs on a political matter. That is also wrong. We should care about both but not confuse the two.
I think RockinRight is simply saying Huckabee isn’t an across-the-board conservative and he’s right about that.
Yes, that was the point. It was time for a tagline change anyway.
Not that I can tell, but folks are having a hard time making the stretch of being a Conservative and supporting Huck. It causes some issues.
If you’re backing a liberal republican for President then my statement about the fact that you may have liberal tendencies is correct.
Instead of talking about generalities (Like huck does)...how about giving some real world details of how Huck has voted on things you like. And how his paroling prisoners is ok. And how his tax hikes sit well with you.
And how his pro-life position is any better than Fred’s. Why not try to convince others why you think Huck makes a good conservative candidate for President. He may actually get more support if other’s would defend his record ad explain how he is a conservative...because I can’t see it. I’ve researched it because I was thinking about backing him, but I just didn’t find what I was looking for.
I’m not going to play your label game except to say this: I think only a liberal Republican would help push through McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform. So why do you support him? Feeling some liberal tendencies yourself?
Watch how this works. That’s the one issue I think Fred made a mistake. There may be other’s but that’s the only one I know of.
Should we list each tax hike Huckster passed? Or each person he pardoned?
Once again you’ve ignored Huck’s record and try to divert to CFR. How do you think Huck would have voted on CFR? We already know how he’d vote on teh bush tax cuts....against.
Also here’s a big difference between Fred and Huck....
NEA. The NEA supports Huck where as Fred wants to destroy the NEA. Do you support the teachers union, which supports teachers doing less and getting paid more and put the teachers above the students education?
Make sense or not it’s usually the case...
Andrew Arulanandam, director of public affairs for the NRA, said the group usually holds off until the conventions to pick a candidate.
“Typically, we don’t endorse until after the nominations at conventions,” he said. “That has been standard operating procedure as far as NRA in presidential races. For us to make any endorsement in the primary is definitely out of the ordinary as far as what we usually do.”
Out of the ordinary, perhaps, but not out of the realm of the possible, Arulanandam said.

How are the following on Guns?
Romney (really don’t know)
McCain (think he’s a support of 2nd amendment...could be wrong)
Huck (think he’s a support of 2nd amendment...could be wrong)
Fred (Believe he supports 2nd amendent)
Rucy (I know he’s against private ownership)
I know where he stands and I’ve weighed the issues. I like Hunter. Everyone else is very flawed. So it comes down to which issues are most important to me. I don’t agree with anyone 100%. If Hunter drops out, I’m voting for Huckabee. You labels and insults won’t change my mind.
Wow you’re going from Hunter to Huck?? How the hell do you justify that kind of switch?
I think you’re lying about supporting Hunter. The reason I think this is because you have yet to list the reasons you support Huck. The only thing you said is Fred helped CFR pass therefre I must be a liberal.
You know Huck would have signed CFR too. But he probably would have raised your taxes to help pay for it. Give me some real reasons why you like Huck over Fred. Especially since you’re a Hunter supporter....I just can’t see you going to the huckster from Hunter.
“I think only a liberal Republican would help push through McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform.”
The idea of campaign reform is neither liberal or conservative.
The fact is that is that allowing any group, corporation or individual to contribute an unlimited amount to a campaign is dangerous, since there are some that have an unlimited amount of cash.
Allowing those contributions would amount to allowing those groups to pick our leaders and decision makers.
That said, the republicans got rolled by the democrats on this particular legislation. All of the republicans got rolled, not just McPain and Bush... It was bad legislation.
You may attribute the fact that it was bad legislation, to liberalism, but campaign reform it’s self is not inherently liberal.
Good news. Thanks for posting, and thanks to the NRLC for putting up.
That’s great news! I’m glad someone’s willing to stick their neck out and put their money where their mouth is. If more people and organizations would be willing to support the candidate who embodies their values rather than trying to figure out the “inevitable” winner, we’d be in much better shape as a country.
I wanted to home school my kids. I’m glad I didn’t after doing a lot of research on your websites. What is the basis of all your RADICAL beliefs? Who are you really backing in this race? I cannot imagine you supporting someone who is a partial conservative. I thought that the Home School group would have been one the the bastions of true Conservatism after recognizing all that you stand for against public schools.
Are you talking to me?? What websites are you talking about? What are my RADICAL beliefs? Tell me because I’d really like to know. Otherwise, I think you’re just a troll.
Well, Fred just acquired another friend and donor. Just finished reading my “donation confirmed” email and received my password. I’ll go back later in the week and order my package of goodies. GO FRED!!!
