Well, I didn’t know squat about the Mexico policy. Now, am I pro choice? Am I an advocate of abortion?
Some folks sure have an amusing take on things.
Mike Huckabee is a good man. To infer otherwise soils the messenger.
Well, Huckabee is a great preacher, I'll agree with that. He has a TERRIBLE record on immigration, building Mexican consulates with tax $$, giving aliens free college, etc. He's gone so far as to call anyone a bigot who didn't like it. Talk to some Arkansas folks.
You’re not running for President, are you?
I have always like Alan Keyes, supported him for years, but I am at odds with him joining the Republican roster of candidates at this time when we already have a dynamic, though somewhat more cool, calm and collected candidate running, in Rep. Duncan Hunter.
No doubt the MSM will spotlight the dramatic Keyes over Hunter because they know his chances of winning in the general are far less than that of Rep. Hunter, whatever their reasons may be.
I read all the way through the piece, and I didnt see where the writer said that Huckabee isn't a good man.
What I read was a pretty solid case that Huckabee is grossly uninformed, in a way that demonstrates that there isn't much depth when it comes to his pro-life credentials.
As I have said many times, Congressman Hunter is a good man and a great American.
However, he has had a year to rally the conservative troops, and he’s failed to do so. I know the reasons for that, but I’m not going to be sharing them here.
In any case, God bless Duncan Hunter.
>As I have said many times, Congressman Hunter is a good man and a great American.<
Then stick with your high principles and support Rep. Hunter who has proven many times that he shares them. People are willing to let the Pravda MSM tell them who to vote for? Then we might as well not vote, because they have already won!
How about Thompson/Keyes in '08 ?
I see. You have 'information' the the voters need to know, but you won't say anything? Don't drop the hint if you can't supply the goods.
Out with it.
I don't see this as a reflection on Huckabee's committment to being pro-life or implementing pro-life policy. It may be an indication that he has not been involved as a pro-life activist. I expect he will be able to answer more detailed questions about the Mexico City Policy next week.
I'm sure all of the candidates have areas of where they are not well versed in the history of the policy. Presidents, too, probably have similar areas of ignorance. That's why Presidents have a Cabinet and advisors.
I told you. He’s had a year. He hasn’t gotten the job done. Why do you think that is?
Ya think? lol...
They’ve ALL had the same year. So what? Is that what your little innuendo was about? WEAK.
It’s not innuendo at all.
I know the reasons Duncan has not gained any traction, but I choose not to slam him here - because I consider him to be a very good man.
BTW, I had a nice chat with Duncan this past week. The campaign trail has not affected him in the least. He’s the same great guy he’s always been, and he’s as steady as a rock. He’s someone every conservative should admire and emulate.
Keyes comes across as too angry, and I agree with him on all of the issues. Coming across as too angry will definitely be a turn-off to the majority of the voting general public. Hillary Clinton also often comes across as being too angry, and this can definitely help whoever the final GOP Presidential candidate is. Still, both Keyes and Gingrich, if Newt also decides to enter the race later, can definitely help to improve the overall GOP Presidential debates among all of the GOP candidates, and this is truly a good thing. I just don’t also want the “more leftist” GOP Presidential candidates to succeed in winning the majority of primaries because of the high number of conservatives running for President on the GOP side splitting up too much of the total votes on the conservative side.
Oh, yeah. And Keyes is going to do a whole lot better. /sarc
What an incredible waste of time, treasure and talent.
Well, sir, in my opinion, it is never a waste of time, treasure and talent to advocate passionately for the foundational principles that underlie our free republic.
Hearts and minds, Jim, hearts and minds...
And I don’t agree with that. Now, was that the topic of the thread? I won’t vote for Huckabee if that’s his only stance on illegal immigration.
