...Your response didn’t deal with a word of my post. Are you denying that Huckabee flip-flopped from the states’ rights to federal amendment position and attempted to mislead everyone over it?...

***********
I’m not entirely sure what you are referring to, but let me explain it this way. Huckabee supported and helped pass a life amendment in his state of Arkansas. Many states have passed abortion restrictions in recent years. If Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, it would not end abortion alltogether, it would simply send the issue back to the states, so it’s a good thing to have a life amendment in each state.

What Huckabee wanted to do on the Federal level is to pass a Federal life amendment so that all states would treat abortion equally if Roe v. Wade was overturned.

So, NO I don’t think Huckabee tried to mislead anyone. I simply think you don’t understand the issue.

It's obvious that you don't. And yet you're on here telling others that Huckabee has done no wrong, and that anyone who believes otherwise is the ignoramus.

Sorry for the strong wording here, but: you're a sucker. Gullible folks like you are the reason good candidates are sunk by frauds like Huckabee.

Huckabee was completely for abortion being a states' rights issue alone until he entered the presidential race, then he lied and pretended he'd always been entirely in favor of the HLA as a way to take a cheap shot at Fred Thompson and National Right to Life for endorsing Thompson. He re-wrote his own personal history for political gain. That is the real Mike Huckabee.

And this doesn't even get into the private abortion fund Huckabee set up while he was governor.
