Shortly before the opening of the Friday sessions at CPAC 2012, Fox News Host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee addressed a group of Pro-Life students gathered in the hallway outside of the auditorium.
During his brief talk with the youth group, Huckabee reiterated his stance on supporting only Pro-Life candidates. And he offered some interesting results from a study on the voting habits of pro-Life and non-pro-Life politicians, done by David Barton:
When people say ‘these issues don’t matter, we need to focus on the economy.’ Here is a news flash: every pro-life member of Congress, every one of them, votes in a fiscally conservative manner. Every non-pro-life member of Congress and the Senate votes in a fiscally reckless and irresponsible manner.

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 9:28amMinorities need to Wake Up! The entire Pro-Choice bunch are the biggest Racist on Planet Earth. Its a Fact that Minorities have more Abortions than their white counterparts, its a fact that most all abortion clinics are in urban areas which are majority minoritites, medicaid is the number one payor of abortions in the USA. The entire Pro-Choice group are just handing out modern day Small Pox Blankets. America Wake Up!!!

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 1:51pmYet Huckabee is PRO-SHAMNESTY and PRO-McCAIN. We saw his pro-McCain stances in 2007 and 2008 – what many didn’t see is him telling the CHILDREN at The Call, July 7, 2007, that if they could convince their parents to vote to give ILLEGAL ALIENS the VOTE in America, that the ILLEGAL ALIENS have “better family values” than Americans, and they MIGHT have the side benefit of helping to vote down Roe V. Wade! Last 20 minutes of the broadcast of the event.

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 2:35pmRomney being one of them. He is pro-choice no matter what he says now. I think the last thing he said was: “I am against abortion personnally, but I also am for the right of a woman to choose.:
Between January and September 2011, Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital gave Barack Obama $27,500!
So far this year, Bain Capital donated $123,200 to the Democratic National Committee. They also donated to a Romney super PAC; $1.25 million!
Romney’s companies have sent 25% of this year’s donations to the Democrats, while in 2008, 2/3 of their money went to Obama!
Romney‘s top contributor is Goldman Sachs who was Obama’s top contributor in 2007-2008:
“According to Federal Election Commission figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman Sachs’ political action committee and individual contributors who listed the company as their employer donated $994,795 during 2007 and 2008 to Obama’s presidential campaign.”

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 12:02pmReckless spending? Nope. There’s an agenda. Overwhelm the system and collapse our economy in preparation for the communist utopia.
Sorry to be a conspiracy theorist. Some vote stupidly (Sheila Jackson-Lee comes to mind) while others actively drive towards their democratic, progressive, socialist, communist agenda… where we also find the pro-abotion stance and birth control mandates.
To continue being a downer, any reprieve in 2012 is temporary. We’ll swing far (and further) left again. Hello, Communism. Happy Friday.

Can we cut 1.6 trillion per year off the budget, get our fiscal house in order, quit selling out our kids, and then worry about gay marraige and abortion…. My priority is the scope and size of this criminal federal government, that is strangling small business people…

GO SANTORUM!!!!!! He was my underdog pick when there were still 8 in the field and my state recently gave him the majority of our delegates. All you need to do now, Rick, is tell us a few of your VP considerations. Rubio/Rand Paul/West all come to mind but I’m open to others. Tell us that you’ll put either of the Pauls in charge of the Treasury and the other in charge of disbanding the Fed. Then make it a trifecta by saying you’d put West in charge of Homeland Security. That is a ticket I can get behind!!!

Report Post »Th Evangelicals are the Achilles Heel of the Republican Party. They run-off good candidates by supporting the Pat Robertsons, Pat Buchanans, and Mikle Huckabees with their influence, but they never win the nomination, and we are left with the Establishment candidates like GHW Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain. The Nation gets left holding the bag for Bill Clinton and Barak Obama.
Seems the Evangelicals are working for the Democrats.

What’s a bit of overspending to someone who believes abortion is an absolute right? This is what “moderates” do not understand about liberalism, it is an absolute take it or leave it proposition and they never give ground on anything they deem worthy of their belief system. They call you a lier, a racist, a homophobe, a woman hater, etc. etc. and then accuse you of being mean spirited. What part of their belief system is reasonable? Why would they care about money when it isn’t theirs anyway?
