Go read my post on the other thread.
but i GUARANTEE you that Huckabee will NOT be the candidate. so you're little hypothetical is moot. He's a fraud, a RINO. I didn't like him in 08 (I backed Fred Thompson). I'll worry about 2012 next year when the candidates start postioning themselves.
honestly, I have no idea why you don't like Daniels, he's pretty much spot on and inline with your views http://www.votesmart.org/npat.php?can_id=34336 a link to his positions. I think you watch Hucks show too much and thats why you're so infatuated with him. Daniels actually DID stuff to turn his state around where Huck spent more than Clinton did. He also supports amnisty and is extremely lax on immigration.
I backed Fred Thompson too. It's too bad his campaign never took off in 2008. I didn't start supporting Mike Huckabee until long after Fred Thompson ended his campaign.
As far as Mitch Daniels is concerned, you don't go putting an issue like abortion on the 'back burner' if you are truly pro-life. Abortion puts 1.6 million children to death each year. True pro-lifers believe that children in the womb are just as valuable, and worth saving as you and me. Therefore, saving those lives should always take precedence over any fiscal or economic issue. By making that 'truce' statement, Mitch Daniels basically said let the children continue to die until we fix the economy. Understand?
you also know that it wasn't going anywhere and he's backed off of that stance. Look, I don't like abortion, but it's not a pressing matter when people don't have jobs. THAT was his point. People vote with their pocketbook. Daniels was pushing a "ideal" situation, that we can put that stuff back, fix the economy THEN deal with social issues. But he backed off because in large part it's hard to separate the two due to the billions that are spent on social programs.
this is also where it's important to have a good, conservative Pres, so they can possibly get a POS ruling like Roe v Wade thrown out. NOT because it'll stop abortions, but because the ruling they made was bad. That's where this whole right to life movement went wrong. Instead of moving to enact laws they jumped off the deep end and made themselves out to be religious fanatics.
If abortion is made illegal, there are going to be more people going to the back alley doctors that are more likely to kill both the mother and baby than anything else. I DON"T AGREE WITH ABORTION, with a couple exceptions. But we do need to be practical and realize that woman will do a lot to keep from having a baby if they don't want one. I would much rather they went and gave the kid up for adoption than kill it.
You're quite funny, you sit there and rag on people for supporting Whitman, yet you admit that you supported McCain (who Whitman was his National co-chair for his campaign) and talked about making her his Sec of Treasury. You jump down peoples throat for supporting a RINO when she's better than the Nutter the Dems are running.
