One is a Christian and a conservative, the other is just a Christian. One liked Thompson's policy positions in spite of his rather flawed character. The other likes Huckabee because he's a Christian. A good guy. God's man in the White House. Yup, that's about as deep as it my obnoxious assertion gets.

FTFY

I am reluctantly for Huckabee because I can trust him on abortion. I may not be "deep" but I know that abortion is a profoundly evil abomination, a child sacrifice in the sight of God. If you believe in God, believe in his wrath. If God is for us, who can be against us? But if we are against God, nothing else matters.

Flip Romney has either lied about being for or against abortion.

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: "I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate." (Governor Mitt Romney, Boston Globe, Op-Ed, 7/26/05)

The quote is not the author’s opinion, he is discussing the opinion of someone who was writing about why Thompson supporters would go to Huckabee, probably a Huckabee person.

That was Fred’s position as well on abortion — rape, incest, life of the mother, allow states to decide.

That was in 2005, and Romney now supports the Human Life Amendment, which would not actually take the decision from the states, but would limit their options to a great extent.

Huckabee said he was for changing the constitution, but then he said he was not, or that the HLA would never pass anyway so people shouldn’t worry about his statement about re-writing the constitution so it matches the Bible.
