Kansans for Life Political Action Committee (KFL PAC) announces its
support of Mike Huckabee for President
http://catholicfire.blogspot.com/2008/02/kansans-for-life-endorses-mike-huckabee.html
"As Governor, Mike Huckabee had the kind of pro-life record that
Kansans envy," said Christine Ostroski, KFL PAC Director. "While we've
been labeled the late-term abortion capitol of America, our neighbors
in Arkansas had Governor Huckabee fighting for everything from a ban
on human cloning to pro-life license plates. His record is
outstanding!"
KFL PAC is urging all Kansans taking part in Saturday's Republican
caucus to give their support to Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee, former two-term governor of Arkansas, has been a leader in
the fight to recognize the value of even the smallest human life.
"What I accomplished as Governor," said Huckabee, "proves that there
is a lot more that a pro-life President can do than wait for a Supreme
Court vacancy, and I will do everything I can to promote a pro-life
agenda and pass pro-life legislation. If I am saddled with a Democrat
Congress, I'll veto any pro-abortion legislation they pass. I will
staff all relevant positions with pro-life appointees."
Huckabee also said he would use his position as president to "change
hearts and minds, to move this country from a culture of death to a
culture of life." He added, "I have no desire to throw women in jail,
I just want to stop throwing babies in the garbage."

Georgia Right to Life Endorses Huckabee
http://my.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=838
Little Rock, AR - Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate
Mike Huckabee has received the endorsement from the Georgia Right to
Life PAC (GRTL PAC) for the 2008 Presidential primary.
"I'm pleased to have the support from the Georgia Right to Life PAC,"
Huckabee said. "Preserving the sanctity of human life has always been
important to me on a personal level, and I have taken great steps to
fight for preserving life while serving as Governor of Arkansas."
The mission of the GRTL PAC is to endorse and support candidates for
public office who have a proven commitment to the sanctity of human
life and will be a strong and effective voice for the unborn.
"While we appreciate their leadership and support, we believe that
Gov. Huckabee is the strongest and most effective pro-life candidate
in this race," said Bryan Lash, PAC Director for GRTL. "When
elected, Mike Huckabee will work hard to establish our goal of
restoring respect and effective legal protection to all innocent human
beings, from the moment of fertilization until natural death."
Gov. Huckabee has a proven track record of solid pro-life legislation
during his terms as governor of Arkansas. He is noted for having
passed a state "Human Life Amendment" which says that "the policy of
Arkansas is to protect the life of every unborn child from conception
to birth."

TN Right To Life Endorsement
http://my.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=1292
Tennessee Right to Life announces today the group's endorsement of
Governor Mike Huckabee for the February 5 Presidential primary. The
strength of Governor Huckabee's public record on matters concerning
the protection of human life and strong support among the
organization's grassroots members were key to making the decision.
"The beauty of a grassroots organization is that your members set the
priorities," said Brian Harris, president of the state's oldest and
largest pro-life organization. "For pro-life Tennesseans, the election
of a sincere, proven pro-life president is paramount," said Harris.
"Our members recognize Mike Huckabee as 'one of us' and that
enthusiasm is driven by his demonstrated record of leadership and
sacrifice toward the shared cause of protecting life," said Harris.
In particular, Governor Huckabee's pro-life leadership as Lt. Governor
and Governor in Arkansas resulted in the following protective polices:
* Passage of the Arkansas Unborn Child Amendment
* Ban of Partial Birth Abortion
* Parental Notification for minor daughters seeking abortion
* Informed Consent for Women considering abortion
* Unborn Child Pain Awareness provision
* Unborn Victims of Violence Act
Governor Huckabee also supports ethical stem cell research but opposes
destructive embryonic stem cell research. He was the second governor
in the country to sign into law a ban on Human Cloning.
"What I accomplished as Governor proves that there is a lot more that
a pro-life President can do than wait for a Supreme Court vacancy, and
I will do everything I can to promote a pro-life agenda and pass pro-
life legislation," said Huckabee. "If I am saddled with a Democrat
Congress, I'll veto any pro-abortion legislation they pass. I will
staff all relevant positions with pro-life appointees. I will use the
Bully Pulpit to change hearts and minds, to move this country from a
culture of death to a culture of life."
Tennessee Right to Life urges concerned pro-life Tennesseans of every
political background to actively support the election of a
demonstrated pro-life leader who will make pro-life protections a
priority.

Bobby Schindler Endorses Mike
http://my.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=1265
Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee
announced the support of Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schiavo.
Schiavo, 41, died after an emotional legal battle, resulting [in] her
feeding tube being removed in 2005. Schindler says he supports
Huckabee for his views on the sanctity of life.
"I am pleased to announce my personal support of Governor Mike
Huckabee's candidacy for President of the United States.
Governor Huckabee has a long and distinguished record of championing
the rights of the unborn and vulnerable in our nation. His commitment
to the cause of life makes him uniquely qualified to lead our nation
through the moral and ethical quagmire that has resulted from 35 years
of disrespect for innocent human life.
"I am confident that Governor Huckabee recognizes all life as having
value and dignity and, as President, will not only fight to defend the
lives of the unborn, but will fight with just as much passion to
protect those who, like my sister Terri Schiavo, live with cognitive
disabilities," Schindler said.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GreggJackson/2008/02/04/why_im_voting_for_mike_huckabee?page=full&comments=true
Taxes and Spending: Huckabee is, by far, the most
fiscally conservative of the three. As governor he
cut taxes almost 100 times and left Arkansas with
an $850 million surplus. While I have some
questions about his proposed "Fair Tax" which is a
flat consumption based tax that would replace our
federal income tax, it is by far the most aggressive
fiscal proposal put forth by any candidate. While
Senator McCain did oppose the Bush Tax Cuts (b/c
they didn't include enough spending cuts), he now
supports making them permanent. And nobody
doubts his anti-pork spending bona fides. Romney,
as governor....
Greenberg, Paul. 12 November 2007.
"Who is Huckabee? Preacher, populist, problem-solver and . . .

http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/greenberg121207.php3
The Club has a point-- but only on paper. When
you compare the dramatic tax cuts enacted early in
the Huckabee administration here in Arkansas with
the later tax increases, you come up with some
$500 million in additional taxes. An impressive
amount.
But on closer examination, it turns out that some
$400 million, or four-fifths of the total, went to carry
out the state Supreme Court's order in the Lake
View case and keep Arkansas' schools
constitutional. Mike Huckabee had little choice in
the matter if he was going to obey the law. Some
did urge him to defy the state's highest court, but
this isn't Orval Faubus' Arkansas any more.

Should Huckabee have had those individuals executed?

Whether we should even have a death penalty is a
tough issue. I believe some crimes deserve it, but
that does not mean I like it. I do believe it should be
an option, but carrying out the death penalty was
unquestionably the worst part of my job as
governor. 17 times I sat by a phone with an open
line to the death chamber, and gave the verbal
order for the lethal injection. I never slept well those
nights. I did the job that the law prescribed for me to
do, but I hated every minute of it.

In short, it sounds in places a little squishy and
insufficiently "nuanced."
On the other hand, he [Huckabee] is for a rapid
major increase in the size of the military. He is in
favor of military action, if necessary, to deny Iran a
nuclear bomb. He demands that we stay and fight
and win in Iraq. And his discussion of the risk from
radical Islam is as tough and realistic as I have
heard. In fact, as the author of a book that was
judged alarmist by some on the topic of radical
Islam ("The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the
Clash of Civilizations?"), I could find little to
complain about in his long discussion of the topic.
==
In a dangerous world such as ours, I would like to
hear more (and more careful) words from
Huckabee. But basically he seems to be a hawk--
and thus not beyond the Republican pale (although
his hawkish ways come with a perhaps-rhetorical
bow to the current nervousness of needed
independent and suburban Republican voters).

....made me wonder: why haven't I come out for
Huck, given how interested I am in his campaign,
and how, in fact, he's the only Republican candidate
that interests me (Ron Paul was the other, but the
bigot-grams story ended that).
==
The first things that come to mind are Huckabee's
record. I don't know that I trust his about-face on
illegal immigration; today I sat in an editorial board
meeting with two pro-immigration advocates running
a sophisticated campaign to overcome opposition to
illegal immigration. One, a Republican, said, "We all
know how Romney and Giuliani really feel about
immigration, and we know that after the election,
they'll do the right thing." He didn't mention
Huckabee, but I'm not sure if that was just an
oversight. But what's the alternative? I'm
encouraged that he pretty much lifted his current
plan from Mark Krikorian.

http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/862/
As for Huckabee, the thinking on the right is that the
mainstream media are boosting him up because
he's the Republican who'll be easiest to beat. It's
undoubtedly true that they see him as the
designated pushover, but in that they're wrong. If
Iowa's choice becomes the nation's and it's
Huckabee vs Obama this November, I'd bet on
Huck. As governor, as preacher and even as
discjockey, he's spent his entire life in professions
that depend on connecting with an audience and
he's very good at it. His gag on "The Tonight Show"--
"People are looking for a presidential candidate
who reminds them more of the guy they work with
rather than the guy that laid them off"-- had a kind
of brilliance: True, it is, at one level, cornball
(imagine John Edwards doing it with all his smarmy
sanctimoniousness) but it also devastatingly cuts to
the nub of the difference between him and Romney.
It's a disc-jockey line: the morning man on the radio
is a guy doing a tricky job-- he's a celebrity trying
to pass himself off as a regular joe-- which is pretty
much what the presidential candidate has to do, too.
Huckabee's good at that.
I don't know whether the Jay Leno shtick was
written for him by a professional, but, if so, by the
time it came out of his mouth it sounded like him.
When Huck's campaign honcho, Ed Rollins,
revealed the other day that he wanted to punch
Romney in the teeth, Mitt had a good comeback: "I
have just one thing to say to Mr. Rollins," he began.
"Please, don't touch the hair." Funny line-- but it
sounds like a line, like something written by a
professional and then put in his mouth.
This is the Huckabee advantage. On stage, he's
quick-witted and thinks on his feet. He's not
paralyzed by consultants and trimmers and
triangulators. Put him in a Presidential debate and
he'll have sharper ripostes and funnier throwaways
and more plausible self-deprecating quips than
anyone on the other side. He'll be a great
campaigner.

Steyn goes on to say he thinks Huckabee would govern as a

ban?

BOSTON (AP) -- Gov. Mitt Romney signed a
workplace smoking ban into law Friday. Beginning
July 5, smokers will be prohibited from lighting up in
restaurants, bars and clubs across Massachusetts.

Kristol: Huckabee excites younger voters, & could be strongest

Kristol, William. 7 January 2008. "President Mike Huckabee?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/07/opinion/07kristol.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
For me, therefore, the most interesting moment in
Saturday night's Republican debate at St. Anselm
College was when the candidates were asked what
arguments they would make if they found
themselves running against Obama in the general
election.
The best answer came, not surprisingly, from the
best Republican campaigner so far-- Mike
Huckabee. He began by calmly mentioning his and
Obama's contrasting views on issues from guns to
life to same-sex marriage. This served to remind
Republicans that these contrasts have been central
to G.O.P. success over the last quarter-century, and
to suggest that Huckabee could credibly and
comfortably make the socially conservative case in
an electorally advantageous way.
==
I was watching the debate at the home of a savvy,
moderately conservative New Hampshire
Republican. It was at this moment that he turned to
me and said: "You know, I've been a huge skeptic
about Huckabee. I'm still not voting for him
Tuesday. But I've got to say-- I like him. And I
wonder-- could he be our strongest nominee?"
He could be. After the last two elections, featuring
the well-born George Bush and Al Gore and John
Kerry, Americans-- even Republicans!-- are
ready for a likable regular guy. Huckabee seems to
be that. He came up from modest origins. He
served as governor of Arkansas for more than a
decade. He fought a successful battle against being
overweight. These may not be utterly compelling
qualifications for the presidency. I'm certainly not
ready to sign up.
Still, as the conservative writer Michael Medved put
it, "For the work-hard-to-get-ahead strivers who
represent the heart and soul of the G.O.P., there
are obvious, powerful points of identification." And
they speak to younger voters who are not yet
committed to the G.O.P. In Iowa, Huckabee did
something like what Obama did on the Democratic
side, albeit on a smaller scale. He drew new voters
to the caucuses. And he defeated Mitt Romney by
almost two to one, and John McCain by better than
four to one, among voters under 45.
==
But whatever Bloomberg does, the fact is that the
Republican establishment spent 2007
underestimating Mike Huckabee. If Huckabee does
win the nomination, it would be amusing if
Democrats made the same mistake in 2008.

I already noted in the post below the comically
unfolding story of Washington state GOP chair Luke
Esser, who decided to stop counting the votes in the
state GOP caucus with 13% of the votes still
uncounted and has spent the last 24 hours coming
up with increasingly ridiculous explanations of his
actions.
TPM Reader NM just flagged this article in the
Seattle Times which quotes Esser now saying that
the state GOP is going to try to get as "close as we
can to 100 percent" of the vote counted.
I mean, don't knock yourself out, right?
I guess I'm not surprised that the GOP bigwigs are
yawning over this. Huckabee's just a speed bump
they want to roll over and be done with. But I'm
more than a little curious why the national political
press hasn't tuned in to this yet. This Esser fellow

culture war is over. The right lost-- a pro-life
initiative failed in South Dakota in 2006: If it can't
win there, it can't win anywhere. Well, maybe Utah.
South Dakota tried to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and
incest. The measure in question was extremely restrictive, and thus,
it's not surprising that it failed to stand in South Dakota.

Weinkopf, Chris, Editorial Page Editor. 1/26/2008. "The case for
Mike Huckabee"
http://www.dailybulletin.com/politics/ci_8085136
IN making the case for Mike Huckabee's campaign
for the presidency, circumstances require that I start
with a declaration: I am not now, nor have I ever
been, an Evangelical Christian.
It's important to get that disclaimer out of the way,
because Huckabee has regrettably been
pigeonholed as the "Evangelical candidate" - a swell
guy, but off-limits to anyone without a fish decal on
the back of the family truckster.
And that's a shame, because Huckabee's appeal
could - and, indeed, should - transcend religious or
cultural affiliations.
Unlike most other Republicans past and present,
this folksy, up-by-the-bootstraps former governor of
a heavily Democratic state has a message capable
of reaching far beyond the GOP faithful. It's one with
a natural resonance for the middle class, for
Latinos, for African-Americans, for believers of all
kinds - indeed for anyone.
"I am a little disturbed though at the portrayal that McCain is
somehow soft on values issues. The guy has a perfect rating on
abortion"
Allen, Charlotte. 4/30/2007. "The Right to Life Lobby vs. McCain"
_The Weekly Standard_
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Utilities/printer_preview.asp?idArticle=13556&R=138FA154
It is also true, as the scorecard indicates, that
McCain supports federal funding of embryo-
destroying stem cell research-- a position that
makes most pro-lifers blanch-- but so, to take one
example, does Utah's otherwise abortion-opposing
Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch.
Hatch's dabbling in pro-death stances is mentioned in
Ponnuru, Ramesh. 2006. _The Party of Death: The Democrats, the
Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life_

Mike Huckabee: Former Arkansas governor Mike
Huckabee is 100% pro-life. Huckabee supports a
constitutional amendment protecting human life
without exception and believes that the Roe v.
Wade decision should be overturned. A vocal and
articulate defender of human life, Huckabee has
made the pro-life issue a central platform of his
campaign. Huckabee opposes human embryonic
stem cell research.
John McCain: U.S. Senator John McCain of
Arizona opposes abortion except in cases of rape,
incest, or to protect the life of the mother. McCain
believes the Roe v. Wade decision should be
overturned and the abortion question returned to the
individual states. He supports strengthening crisis
pregnancy centers and is an advocate of adoption.
In 1993, John McCain and his wife, Cindy, adopted
a little girl from Mother Teresa's orphanage in
Bangladesh. McCain supports federal funding of
human embryonic stem cell research. He voted for
the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act that
would federally fund the destruction of human
embryos for scientific research.

The Club has a point-- but only on paper. When
you compare the dramatic tax cuts enacted early in
the Huckabee administration here in Arkansas with
the later tax increases, you come up with some
$500 million in additional taxes. An impressive
amount.
But on closer examination, it turns out that some
$400 million, or four-fifths of the total, went to carry
out the state Supreme Court's order in the Lake
View case and keep Arkansas' schools
constitutional. Mike Huckabee had little choice in
the matter if he was going to obey the law. Some
did urge him to defy the state's highest court, but
this isn't Orval Faubus' Arkansas any more.

Mitt Romney's saturation attack ads (played every
few minutes in Iowa and now in New Hampshire)
have not only poisoned the campaign with
mischaracterizations of the records of his
opponents, but also set the agenda for horribly
unenlightening and awkward debates that harmed
all the candidates, very much including Romney
himself.

"Come on, Mitt, tighten up your chin strap," Salter,
standing just a few feet away from the Romney
team, told reporters. "Of all the ludicrous
suggestions-- Mitt Romney whining about being
attacked, when he has predicated an entire
campaign plan on whoever serially looks like the
biggest challenger gets, whatever, $20 million
dropped on his head and gets his positions
distorted. Give me a break. It's nothing more than a
guy who dishes it out from 30,000 feet altitude and
then gets down in the arena and somebody says,
O.K. Mitt, gives him a little pop back, and he starts
whining. That's unbecoming."

Mitt Romney is not only _not_ a conservative on
any issue, he's _not even on the left-right
spectrum_. He has no beliefs. No principles. No
backbone. No soul. He is a soulless creature who
will do and say anything to get elected.

"Conservative Elites" Covering Up 4 Romney

Fournier, Deacon Keith. 1/26/2008. _Catholic Online_
http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=26591
Huckabee's manner and his message, when he is
allowed to speak, strike a chord with many people
from a broad spectrum of increasingly disillusioned
voters. Because of that, the elites try to marginalize
him through condescension, like Krauthammer did.
Or, worse yet, they unleash vitriol against him, such
as what Mark Levin stooped to in his Thursday talk
radio program when he made himself small by
crude remarks against this good man.
"Even the most ardent McCain and Huckabee supporters have attempted to
make peace with us Romney supporters. Really, what's the point?"
Who knows.
Do you agree with Coulter that Romney flipped on only one issue?

"The bottom line is that I [Santorum] served 12
years with him [McCain], 6 years in the United
States Senate as leader, one of the leaders of the
Senate-- the number-3 leader-- who had the
responsibility of trying to put together the
conservative agenda, and almost at every turn on
domestic policy, John McCain was not only against
us, but leading the charge on the other side."
==
"John McCain was the guy who was working with
Ted Kennedy to drive it [immigration legislation]
down our throats, and lectured us repeatedly about
how xenophobic we were, lectured us-- us being the
Republican conference-- about how wrong we were
on this, how we were on the wrong side of history."
==
On judges and McCain's involvement in the Gang of
14, Santorum said: "That's another situation where
we felt it was important to establish a precedent
where these nominations deserved an up or down
vote on the floor of the United States Senate and
they couldn't use the rules that were not meant for
executive nominations to apply to them, to block
those votes; and we were ready to go, and John
McCain was not ready to go." He added that "this is
not a guy who would give me a lot of confidence
that he would appoint the judges who are necessary
on the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, who would be
strict constructionist judges."
==
"Not only was he wrong on embryonic-stem-cell
research....
==
"....when social-conservative issues were ever
raised-- whether it was marriage or abortion or a
whole host of other issues-- there were always the
moderates who said 'no, no, no, we can't: they're
divisive, divisive, divisive.' And more often than not,
John McCain was . . . with them," agreeing that
these were divisive issues that the Senate should
not bring to a vote.
==
....Santorum warned that with a President McCain,
"I'm concerned we'd have a president whose first
reaction would be to go to the other side to solve a
problem instead of trying to find like-minded
Republicans to come up with solutions. There is
nothing worse than having a Democratic Congress
and a Republican president who acts like a
Democrat in matters that are very important to
conservatives."

McCain was one of six Republicans to vote against
the Federal Marriage Amendment.
