Now is the time for Fred to pounce. Time to get in the game and score some serious points.

The decision of Roe v Wade was a judicial decision based not on Constitutional Law but one of simple judicial activism. The court in effect became the legislature and decreed law via judicial fiat. This is wrong, very wrong and eats away at the provisions of The Constitution regarding states rights. Roe v Wade must be overturned because it is bad law. To write more bad law from the bench that would outlaw abortions is equally bad. This is an issue that belongs to the States and not the Federal Judiciary. The worst thing about the living Constitution is that it will destroy the Constitution. (Justice Scalia)

If our side uses federal judicial fiat to outlaw abortion, we too will become party to the destruction of the document that has defined and made our great nation. If our nation is to survive the courts must follow Constitutional law in the sense of strict constructionist. If we throw that incredible document away, we will become and deserve to become a "Banana Republic" where the law is defined by the whim of the courts or dictator which more often than not are the same man.

...or will the Evangelicals just ignore it and stand by their man....

Its' very likely, they'll just ignore it.....
*cue music_stand by your man*...it just like $hrillary (an enabler) ignored Bubbas' (very numerous) misdeeds ....the Iowa Evangelicals, so shall they "enable" Huckabee.*/cue music_stand by your man*.

...of course, they'll be very "surprised" when he understand "the aberrant lifestyles" and fights for their "spousal rights"...as he shows, his true colors....he's no different than Rooty / Willard....he's just other RINO.

I wouldn’t say that necessarily but Huckabee is a tax and spend Republican and those kind of Republicans are more dangerous than liberals. I want more not less control of my money. If I want to donate to the charity of others than I want to do that of my own accord. I don’t need some Preacher in chief allocating funds for all kinds of for the kids agendas. I’m tired of “blank check” politicians and I’m not going to vote for another one. I don’t want a no new taxes pledge from Huckabee I want some kind of expression that shows me he understands the value of an individual’s economic sovereignty and that he sees limits to the good will of a government on behalf of its citizens.

He strikes me as a man like Romney who doesn’t have strong principles on the limits of government. His support of the global warming silliness is just another reason I can’t vote for him. If he wants to go sniffing after Al Gore than he can do it alone. We have real conservative full spectrum candidates like Fred in the race which makes voting for Huckabee, Mitt, and Rudy just unthinkable. Do we want to continue voting for a Republican party that is increasingly indistinguishable from the Democrats on everything but a few social issues and national security?

Reagan won by speaking to the people not resenting them. He talked to the hopes and dreams of America and tore apart the ideology of the left with deft mastery unequaled to this day. We may not have Reagan but we do have Fred Thompson. We can elect a whipping boy or a man who doesn’t apologize for being conservative in word and deed. I choose the man.

Mitt says Huckelbuck would make a great vice-president.

That was all I needed to hear.

Never to these two bozoz.

Good for Huckabee, to tell the truth, in place of Thompson's hedging on life.

Pretty wierd of Thompson-the-lobbyist, after his apparent work for a Pro-Abortion cause, to throw mud at Huckabee, for taking honoraria from a diversified pharmaceutical company.

He pulled from his pocket a photo of a girl, given to him by a woman at a campaign event.

So does he carry this picture around just hoping someone will ask him the right question or does he carry it knowing the right question will be asked?

What I think doesn't matter. The photo speaks for itself. The truth is that the Hucklebees DID live in a trailer.

I noticed that the Huckabee workers were really working the EIB on Friday. Don’t think Rush caught on until the show was almost over.

Don’t we all know that it’s un-Christian of us to bring up anything regarding Huckabee’s record and past? Only the sad, pathetic, elitists would shine the light on his liberal record/positions of taxes, socialized medicine, amnesty, shutting down terrorist prisons, the $$ he made while governor, and $35k he takes from the groups he attacks when people are looking.

For starters, the embryonic stem-cell issue is moot, in my opinion. Secondly, how has Thompson hedged on life? He's pro-life, he will appoint pro-life judges to the bench, supports Roe getting overturned, and supports the right of states to choose. That's not hedging. That's Federalism. And fewer abortions will be performed that way than only shooting for an amendment, because that will never happen anytime soon.

Attack Huckabee on his dubious policies and history.

Please DO NOT just stick up a picture and call him and his family “trailer-trash”.

This isn’t DU.

I'm familiar with incrementalism, but that's hardly an excuse to divert one's eyes from the ultimate prize. Thompson is taking the Steven A. Douglas approach to both Human Life and Marriage.

Anyone who fails to see that action must be nationwide and conclusive once the federalism bubble is burst, whether by any states or courts, regarding either the primary Principle of our republic or in the primary building block of our society, is lacking.

Fred Thomson would apparently not lift a finger to protect Life or Marriage, if a state decided otherwise. It's post-1865. We should be over that poor, poor federalism excuse.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.
