To get anything done in Washington, you gotta sleep with all sorts of people you’d rather not even shake hands with.
There is a time and place to protest Huck’s record, but I dont think this is it. He’s on the right side on this issue.
Huck who? Is this a real effort to change an outcome that has already been determined or an effort to make himself relevant again? When they have 60 votes of their own and a couple more of ours if needed, what are the chances of success? A successful outcome for Huck would be a favorable reaction in Iowa.
It won’t hurt to tell people how they are getting screwed and by whom, but if the Dems cared one whit about what the people thought, they would have scrubbed Obamacare long ago.
It is only the devil (who is stepping up his love for abortion) that would cause people to criticize Mike Huckabee in *his* effort to do everything he can to stop Americans from killing their young. Huckabee made his views be known on national television -- and is one of the strongest pro-life politicians that I am aware of -- when he stated on Meet the Press, through the late [and tough!] Tim Russert on 12-30-07:
RUSSERT: Some Americans believe that life does not begin at conception, and that it's...
HUCKABEE: Well, scientifically I think that's almost...
RUSSERT: But...
HUCKABEE: ...a point that you couldn't argue. How, how could you say that life doesn't begin at conception...
RUSSERT: Right. Do you respect that view?
HUCKABEE: ...biologically?
RUSSERT: Do you respect that view?
HUCKABEE: I respect it as a view, but I don't think it has biological credibility.
RUSSERT: And what would happen to doctors or women who participated in abortion?
HUCKABEE: It's always the, the point of trying to say, "Are you going to criminalize it?" That's not the issue.
RUSSERT: Well, if it, if it's illegal, it would be.
HUCKABEE: It would be. And I think you don't punish the woman, first of all, because it's not about--I consider her a victim, not a, not a criminal. You would...
RUSSERT: But you would punish the doctor.
HUCKABEE:
I think if a doctor knowingly took the life of an unborn child for money, and that's why he was doing it, yeah, I think you would, you would find some way to sanction that doctor. I don't know that you'd put him in prison, but there's something to me untoward about a person who has committed himself to healing people and to making people alive who would take money to take an innocent life and to make that life dead. There's something that just doesn't ring true about the purpose of medical practice when the first rule of the Hippocratic Oath is "First, do no harm." Well, if you take the life and suction out the pieces of an unborn child for no reason than its inconvenience to the mother, I don't think you've lived up to your Hippocratic Oath of doing no harm.

If you believe Huck is a RINO, that's all fine and well. Don't vote for the man. But what he's doing here is good for all babies not yet born, not to mention their mothers who live in sorrow for the rest of their lives over their stupid (demonic inspired) decision to abort. God love Mike Huckabee (and his wife!) for the love he has for our littlest of peoples.
Did you read the whole thing? Huckabee is going to lead a protest AGAINST Obama Care and Ben Nelson (who folded just like a “good” Democrat who gets the right pork/bribe).
Huckabee has lots of faults, but on this- he is doing the right thing. And no, I don’t want him as our President, but we shouldn’t fight when folks are on the correct side of an issue.
