LOS ANGELES (Catholic Online) - First, it was Larry Sabato and then it was Rush Limbaugh. Sabato is the Robert Kent Gooch Professor of Politics of the Center for Politics at the University of at the University of Virginia.

So sad. These people ignore the fact that big government is what has killed those 60 million babies. Bigger government will just kill more.

Maybe other primary state Republicans will vote sane.
(pundits are already calling Obama the next President from his “I had a dream speech” tonight, barf)
The religious-left is the new religious-right? Sounds expensive.
One can be committed to faith, life, family and biblical values and still believe in a strong economy, limited government and liberty as opposed to "liberal", big government solutions. In fact, liberalism has led to strongly anti-worker, anti-faith, anti-family, anti-biblical value outcomes most everyplace it has been tried.
Why is the media ignoring the Huckster’s supporters being motivated by hate?
Jesus was a supporter of free market capitalism — read The Parable of the Talents and you’ll see.
When was the last time a right to life amendment was even proposed by the President? Or when the GOP controlled congress.
The Businessmen get the tax cuts, the pork and the open borders, the Social Conservatives who do all the heavy lifting in November get nothing.
After so many promises, people want results.
I agree.
To me, the writer is saying that the pro-life movement is finally reaching the groundswell the Christian-inspired, anti-slavery movement reached in the 1850’s. The Whigs fell apart over the slave issue and much of their base joined the new Republican party. The Republicans not only wouldn’t compromise but brought about abolition.
If I was an Iowan I wouldn’t have voted for Huckabee but this commentary helps me understand those who did.
~”Shame on the Huckabee supporters in Iowa. If Huckabee wins the nomination, the Republicans will be creamed in the general election.”~
We thoughts exactly. Romney isn’t dead just yet (though he’s certainly on life support), but barring some resurrection there, McCain is now the only chance for stopping Huckabee. Quite the Hobson’s choice. At least with McCain, we’d get a sane foreign policy and fiscal conservatism. I’m very scared of a Huckabee nomination. I wouldn’t vote for Clinton over him, but I’d be tempted to vote for Obama, just so we can get the do-over in four years.
?
~”Gov. Huckabee saying he was a Christian is like another candidate saying hes a member of the Chamber of Commerce - both suggest where the candidates stand on a large number of issues ...”~
That would be what Rush describes as ‘Identity politics.’ It appears that Iowans fell for it.
This government compassion of the past forty years has given us the Lyndon Johnson War on Poverty programs. This is not compassion. This is sly Democrat party big government, big party machine cronyism in the disguise of helping people. After forty years of trillions of dollars on these always expanding social programs, you would think that there would be no poverty anywhere. And yet what do Clinton, Edwards and other liberals campaign on - poverty. They will bankrupt all of us before they put an end to poverty.
~”fortunately most Republicans know this....”~
The evidence thus far is against this.
I agree.
Driving a stake through the heart of the Clinton crime family is of the utmost importance, more important than who the nominee of the GOP is.
However, Huck is so beatable, it wouldn't hurt to turn up the heat on him a little more.
The ‘religious right’ is on a course that will rip the conservative coalition to shreds. Liberals have nothing to fear.
Good grab, VA.
