Huckabee is the right candidate for you if you want to banish other people's rights over their own bodies, as well as other people's rights to have a legal life together...
personally, i'll like to pass on a presidency based on "the holy word of God" according to Mike Huckabee - i don't think the U.S. could survive another one of THOSE
"Family Values" - a phrase that makes me cringe

Why hate Huckabee?
There are things about Mike Huckabee that make me very nervous — things like this:
Speaking before a gathering of Christian conservative
voters, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said legalized abortion
in the United States was a holocaust.
“Sometimes we talk about why we’re importing so many people in our
workforce,” the former Arkansas governor said. “It might be for the
last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would
have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized
abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973.”
And then there’s the Wayne Dumond case.
But Robert Novak denounces Huckabee as a “false conservative” because
Calling global warming a “moral issue” mandating “a
biblical duty” to prevent climate change, he has endorsed a
cap-and-trade system that is anathema to the free market.
Ah yes. True conservatism means denying the overwhelming scientific
evidence that climate change is a problem, and rejecting even the most
market-friendly solutions to the problem.
Thanks for clearing that up, Bob.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.
(CNN)–Speaking before a gathering of Christian conservative voters, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said legalized abortion in the United States was a holocaust.
"Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our
workforce," the former Arkansas governor said. "It might be for the
last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would
have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized
abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973."
Huckabee also spoke adamantly of the need for conservative lawmakers
to show no compromise on fighting for a constitutional amendment that
defines marriage between a man and a woman. "I'm very tired of hearing
people who are unwilling to change the constitution, but seem more than
willing to change the holy word of God as it relates to the definition
of marriage," he said.
Huckabee, spoke before the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. Saturday.

ICK! is right!
Sadly there seems to be radicals in all religions.
I would never want to even see this man let alone see him in power.
and no, i would happily live without ever setting eyes on this man, let alone seeing him sworn in as president - ahhhh!
You betcha won't find many (any) Jews who would compare abortion to the Holocaust.
When I actively helped to protect women's clinics from invasion in SC about 15 years ago, it was the protestors who acted like Nazi brownshirts, hurling insults and slurs at the mothers, who have had to make a difficult decision.
yeah, i find the protesters at abortion clinics display appalling behaviour - and that would be an understatement...
and thank you for helping to protect those women - i don't think i've known anyone who's done that before
I was happy to help. One day when I was there, the brownshirts tried to actually invade the clinic. Fortunately the police were there to help protect the clinic.
Politics and Religion should not be combined (before anyone gives me the lecture on morals I am not talking about those just personal religious beliefs) when ones religious beliefs would be used to decide a countries policies...
That is my polite way of saying....use common sense people..not your own views..
and these issues - they're universal, really
and this man - *shudder*worthy
and i totally agree - separation of church and state must be upheld
Church and State must always be separate and it is this blurring of the two which is a major concern to us all.
I generally keep out of the abortion debate as I believe the decision is between the mother/father and their God if they believe in God. It is none of my business. It amazes me that this issue is an election issue, are people really going to vote on their next president based on whether he/she is pro or anti-abortion? Seriously are they?

well, if they're willing to vote solely on how the candidate feels about gay marriage, you bet your ass they'll vote according to their views on abortion...
