Say what you will about Huckabee. You can't deny he is the strongest candidate on LIFE, Marriage and the Second Amendment.

I’d rather save the country and conservatism and vote against him.

Say what you will, Huckabee is a dishonest pander of the first order. None of these bills will get past Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Did Huckabee tell you that?

Huckabee (2001 State of the State Address):

I’m pro life, but I know not everyone agrees with me on that particular topic, and I respect that. I’ll probably never change my conviction on that, and some of you won’t change yours. But in this day in which we talk about choice and the importance of it, surely we can agree that if under the Supreme Court choice is mandated, that choice should be as educated a choice as is humanly possible”.

- - - - - - -

Duncan Hunter:

“I have also introduced the Right to Life Act, which would legally define “personhood” as the moment of conception and, therefore guarantee all constitutional rights and protections, including life, to the unborn without utilizing a constitutional amendment”. Hunter would also like to propose amending the Constitution if elected. (I think the Right To Life Act that he has been pushing for years is the better way to go.)

Oh. Back to your post. I think Hunter’s position on this is the strongest.

DH-HD Duncan Hunter, Hands Down

They’re All for Huck (Sung to ‘All Shook Up’ by Otis Blackwell & Elvis Presley)

A well I saved my soul…

Dems say I’m a happenin’ guy to love
They say “Gov…” Huh?
”We’re all for Huck”
Mm-mm… we’re go… yeah, yeah!

My chances are shaky and my team is weak
I can’t seem to pan my known critique
Ooh, Do you think them pardons sucked?
They say “Gov…” Huh?
”Y’all F**ked up!”
Mm-mm… Oh no! Pray, pray!

Well, please don’t task me ‘bout facts this time
I’m a little mixed up, but my Jesus is fine…
When I cheer the Gospel that I love best:
The base says no, oh but the Times scream yes!

Romney trashed my stand n’ what a grillin’ I got
n’ Fred’s quips are like a Tancredo shot
I’m proud to say illegals got your spot…
they said “Gov…” Huh?
”Thanks allot!”
Mm-mm… Ho, Ho… Low pay!

Well some say I lie, n’ try to cheat
My record is shady like beef with no meat
There’s only manure from this lobby of mine
That’s pooh to you… the world loves my line!

Romney trashed my stand n’ what a grillin’ I got

Mm-mm… Ho, Ho… Pray, pray!

Mm-mm… Ho, Ho… Pray, pray!

Mm-mm… Ho, Ho… Pray, pray!

Mike Huckabee: It would please me because I think Roe v. Wade is based on a real stretch of Constitutional application — that somehow there is a greater privacy issue in the abortion concern — than there is a human life issue — and that the federal government should be making that decision as opposed to states making that decision.

So, I’ve never felt that it was a legitimate manner in which to address this and, first of all, it should be left to the states, the 10th Amendment, but secondly, to somehow believe that the taking of an innocent, unborn human life is about privacy and not about that unborn life is ludicrous.

Fred Thompson - Thompson opposes the Marriage Protection Amendment. His federalist views would prevent him from seeking federal protection of marriage at the state level. In a November 2007 interview with Tim Russert, Thompson attempted to clarify his position:

"Yes. This, this, this – the – marriage is between a man and a woman. Nobody ever thought that that was contested until recently, and we've had a couple judges in a couple states decide to turn all that on its head. So we've, we've had, again, a judge-created problem. I would support a constitutional amendment that addresses this judge-created problem...and say judges can't do that. But, at the end of the day, if a state legislature and a governor decide that that's what they want to do, yes, they should have, they, they should have the freedom to do what Fred Thompson thinks is a very bad idea." (emphasis added)

I like Fred's answer. Thanks for including it.

If this is Huckleberry’s only conservative issue he should just hang it up.

Huckabee Spokesman voted for Clinton Impeachment While Having An Affair With A Staffer

Jon Ponder | Jan. 12, 2008

Mike Huckabee campaigns as an ardent upholder of traditional marriage. On his website he says he led the move in Arkansas to adopt the practice of "covenant" marriage, and that he supports amending the U.S. Constitution to prohibit gay people from marrying. He and Mrs. Huckabee say they believe in the New Testament edict that “a wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband.”

But if you can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps then it appears that Huckabee’s moralizing about the sanctity of marriage is mainly just for show. For example, he takes advice on political strategy from Dick Morris, the sleazy Fox News Clinton-hater who was outed in a tabloid magazine over a decade ago by his paid mistress — and who was one our nominees last year to the GOP Adulterers Hall of Fame.

Huckabee has tried to keep his relationship with Morris on the q.t. (He even lied about it to George Stephanopoulos.) On the other hand, he was brazenly unashamed to have former Sen. Tim Hutchinson, one of Arkansas’ most notorious adulterers, serve as his surrogate in television interviews in Iowa and New Hampshire.

What makes Hutchinson’s betrayal of his wife particularly scandalous is the fact that, like Huckabee, he is an ordained minister as well as a Republican politician who won elections by presenting himself as an adherent of moral values, including, of course, the sanctity of marriage.

But what makes Hutchinson notorious is the timing of his of his affair with a much-younger member of his Senate staff:

Scant weeks after voting to remove Bill Clinton from office, the one-time Baptist preacher made a fortuitously timed announcement of his impending divorce from his wife of 29 years. Having cast a stone at Clinton, he called his own divorce “intensely personal” and refuses to answer questions. Also unavailable for comment was the much younger member of Hutchinson’s staff with whom he’d been “romantically linked,” as people said in a politer era. Reporters couldn’t find Randi Fredholm anywhere. She’d flat disappeared. A suspicious person might wonder if she’d gone into hiding.

After Hutchinson spent a relatively brief interval as a Washington bachelor, Randi reappeared as the new Mrs. Tim Hutchinson.

(Tim’s even more holier-than-thou brother, then-Rep. Asa Hutchinson, was one of the Impeachment Managers in the House.)

Hutchinson was defeated for reelection in 2002 by David Pryor, a Democrat. Pryor did not make Hutchinson’s adultery — or hypocrisy — a campaign issue, at least in part because he didn’t have to. Both were common knowledge. Hutchinson was the only Republican to lose a Senate seat that year."

Both Huckabee and Hutchinson are desperate for a job...Wake up, people.
