LITTLE ROCK, AR – Former AR Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee proved today that he is “favorite son of conservative voters,” placing first place in a “Values Voter” Straw Poll among attendees of the Family Research Council’s Summit in Washington, D.C.
Huckabee was the No. 1 favorite among the 952 attendees the summit and voted in person, with 51 percent of the vote – defeating rival Mitt Romney who received just 10 percent of the vote.
The results are as follows:
1.) Mike Huckabee - 488 - 51.26%
2.) Mitt Romney – 99 – 10.40%
3.) Fred Thompson – 77 – 8.09%
4.) Tom Tancredo – 65 – 6.83%
“Today’s victory in the on-site contest is yet another indicator that I am the top choice of voters in America who are looking for a truly consistent, conservative candidate with a proven record of results and the vision to lead America forward,” said Huckabee.
Huckabee, who had 11 standing ovations during a rousing speech today before an enthusiastic audience, espoused his “non-negotiable” priorities for America – “freedom, faith and family.” After the speech, he finished just 30 votes behind Mitt Romney in a straw poll which included online polling.
Wow!! Huckabee nailed it!!!
It’s too bad that no one’s ever heard of Duncan Hunter.
The only thing I would add is that it’s a world holocaust as well.
Being the monster and a male that I am, for I have no chance of having a baby by any means. I cannot for the life of me understand why that fact means I cannot make a moral judgment call on ripping a live human being out of a womb is wrong or not. There is difference between killing a baby at 32 weeks in the womb and killing it right after birth ? I see none.
It also really rubs me wrong that believing life in the womb is innocent and should be protected makes me a fundamentalist. By that standard almost all of America were fundamentalist before the modern era.
As for force feeding the nation on my beliefs, that is exactly what liberals did in Roe V Wade did, it took the abortion laws off all 50 states and tossed them to force abortion on the nation. The states should be the one to decide their abortion laws.
....and I am the real monster!!!
The US Abortion Holocaust is almost as bad as the Communist one - 100 million in the last century.
Is it a corrolary that humanity must kill?
Missing way too often in all these arguments is the role of the providers, especially the doctor. We have set up a society where a doctor and associates now becomes the active partners in the murder of the unborn.
Yes, I have read all those arguments ad infinitum. It's a zygote, blob of tissue, not human until it can live and breathe on its own outside the womb, blah blah, but for the grace of God or chance, they are condemning their own lives. Women can't do anything they want to their bodies; i.e., prostitution, suicide and cutting or otherwise mutilating themselves, won't go into some of the now legal mutilations of one's body if one so chooses.
Are those who would prohibit abortions of convenience really monsters or their brothers'/sisters' keepers? It would be hard to look someone in the eye, see the fear, anguish and tears over an unwanted pregnancy and tell them they can't get a legal abortion. Some of us, without seeking it out, have had look them in the eyes, sometimes for years, the haunting, can't get past it (not all), and see the the toll on their mental health, some turn to alcohol and drugs to kill the pain and guilt (if they weren't already into it). Is that any better for society?
Liberals have to deal with cases like this all the time, especially therapists. Does it change their outlook? Seems not. The unholy grail of safe and legal abortion must be upheld at all cost and rationalizations in their own psyches.
It is useless to argue with them.
Cheer up Hickabee. Those illegal immigrants you want to let in will have plenty of kids to make up for the abortions. Get lost.
Anybody but Giuliani.

Indeed, the American holocause.
