  Thank you for your encouraging words (you know who you are!)!

  I heard something discouraging today about the November elections. In Indiana, at least, it will do no good to 'write-in' a candidate unless that candidate 'registers' as a write-in. We can write in anyone, as I was told earlier, even Micky Mouse, as I was told today, but that vote won't even be counted or recognized if the candidate has not first registered as a write-in. Mike would have to do this and as he has gotten behind McCain, I don't think he will.

  So my vow to vote for no one but Mike will be a countless vote as far as making a statement to the RNC and as far as helping Mike's notoriety. It will help my conscience because as some have said here, I have vowed and that is a very serious thing. I will not break it.

  Mike as VP or a write-in.

  I got to fill out a survey at the State Fair today at McCain's 'booth' and it asked if I voted today who would I vote for and I wrote in other: Mike Huckabee. And issues I care about: #1 abortion (should have crossed it out and said pro-life because they might construe that to mean I agree with abortions), with illegal immigration, national security, health care, 2nd amendment and marriage following behind that. Taxes, education, economy and jobs....well if we take care of the important issues concerning our moral fabric the others will fall in line.

  Bonnie Bucklaw,

  Interesting comments ..... I believe before it is over Obama will pick Hillary not because he wants to but he will not have much of a choice if he wants to win and appease the disgruntled Hillary supporters and abortion advocates.

  God Bless!

  “A Call to Political Responsibility
  from the Catholic Bishops of the United States"

  
  As a nation, we share many blessings and strengths, including a tradition of:
  religious freedom and political participation.

  However, as a people, we face
  serious challenges that are clearly political and also profoundly moral.

  We Are a nation founded on

  “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,”
  but the
  right to life itself is not fully protected,

  especially for unborn children,
  the most
  vulnerable members of the American family.

  
  We are called to be peacemakers
  in a nation at war.

  We are a country pledged to pursue “liberty and justice for
  all,”

  but we are too often divided across lines of race, ethnicity, and economic
  inequality.

  We are a nation of immigrants, struggling to address the challenges of many new immigrants in our midst.

  We are a society built on the strength
  of our families,

  called to defend marriage and offer moral and economic
  supports for family life.

  We are a powerful nation in a violent world, confronting
  terror and trying to build a safer, more just, more peaceful world.

  We are an
  affluent society where too many live in poverty and lack health care and other
  necessities of life.

  We are part of a global community facing urgent threats to
  the environment that must sustain us.

  These challenges are at the heart of
  public life and at the center of the pursuit of the common good.

  As Catholics,
  we are part of a community with a rich heritage that helps us consider the
  challenges in public life and contribute to greater justice and peace for all
  people.

  In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and
  participation in political life is a moral obligation.

  This obligation is rooted in
  our baptismal commitment to follow Jesus Christ and to bear Christian witness
  in all we do.

  
  Unfortunately, politics in our country often can be a contest of:

  powerful
  interests,

  partisan attacks,

  sound bites, and

  media hype.

  The Church
  calls for a different kind of political engagement:

  one shaped by the moral Convictions of well-formed consciences and focused on the dignity of every
  human being,
  the pursuit of the common good,

  and the protection of the
  weak and the vulnerable.

  
  The Catholic call to faithful citizenship affirms the
  importance of political participation and insists that public service is a worthy
  vocation.

  As Catholics, we should be guided more by our moral convictions
  than by our attachment to a political party or interest group.

  When necessary,
  our participation should help transform the party to which we belong; we
  should not let the party transform us in such a way that we neglect or deny
  fundamental moral truths.

  We are called to bring together our principles and
  our political choices, our values and our votes, to help build a better world.”

  
  —AN excerpt from U.S Catholic Bishops

  The Faithful Citizenship website at:

  www.faithfulcitizenship.org/media.

  
  Readings:

  Isaiah 55:1-3;

  Romans 8:35, 37-39;

  Matthew 14:13-21

  Masses: Saturdays: 5:00PM; Sundays: 7:30AM, 9:00AM, 11:00AM and 8:00PM

  Abortion Advocates Tell Barack Obama:

  You Better Pick Hillary Clinton for VP

  
  Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --

  
  With just weeks to go before the Democratic convention at the end of August, pro-abortion activists have one message for their presidential nominee:

  .....YOU BETTER pick Hillary Clinton as your running mate.

  Obama's decision could have a significant impact on the November elections.

  Several abortion advocates said Obama has an obligation to pick the woman who came the closest ever to becoming a major party's nominee for president.

  Geraldine Ferraro, the 1984 pro-abortion vice-presidential nominee, said Obama should be "gracious" enough to offer Clinton the vice-presidency because of her close second place finish.

  She said Obama can't pick any of the other pro-abortion women political pundits are speculating he might choose.

  "Those are women who we spent our lifetime helping run for office" and that "a lot of us are not happy with these women for not supporting Hillary because they came to us for help based in large part on their gender," she said.

  While Ferraro took the high road in the comments, other abortion activists pulled no punches.

  
  Clinton supporters "would be outraged to know she was not given that right of first refusal," Marcia Pappas, the head of the New York chapter of NOW, said.

  While I certainly agree that I could never campaign for Obama, I also relate to the frustration that Judge Deborah feels and I don't believe it is just that we will be angry if Mike is not vp. It's that he has not even appeared to be seriously considered for vp, not floated or talked about in Washington for months, not speculated about and his name not "leaked" from McCain's camp. Now, this is either the most brilliant political move that we have seen in decades and the McCain camp is going to "sock it to the media and the Washington establishment" or it is the most polically dumb move they could possibly make. Are we saying that McCAin HAS to pick out guy or we won't vote for him? I don't think so...What we are saying is, give us some credence, some respect, some relevance, and consideration! By US, I mean Mike Hucakbee, because he IS OUR VOICE!! So, by not even giving us the respect that he gave Romney, a man who attacked him and showed his ugly nature during the campaign, that just fuels the flames of frustration and discord amongst us and we wonder, if not with our vote, how will we ever be heard?? Do we reward Obama and hurt our country or do we vote for a man who hasn't given us a second thought and just EXPECTS our vote because he has an R next to his name?? The delima is REAL and we must each reach our own conclusion. However, if Huckabee had been given the same respect, floating of his name and consideration by the McCain camp that Romney has been given, I don't believe you would be seeing the people on here stating that they may vote for Obama.... It is my opinion that the McCAin camp has made this mess. Now they may have to lie in it!!!

  Obama's 10 reasons for supporting infanticide

  Posted: January 16, 2008
  1:00 am Eastern
  By Jill Stanek
  © 2008
  http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59702

  I was intimately involved in the five-year process to pass the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, testifying before committees twice that then-state Sen. Barack Obama sat on.
  Following are 10 excuses Obama has given through the years for voting "present" and "no" on the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, or BAIPA.

  10. Babies who survive abortions are not protected by the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

  Obama, the sole opponent ever to speak against BAIPA, stated on the Illinois Senate floor on March 30, 2001:

  I just want to suggest ... that this is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny.
  Number one, whenever we define a previable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a – child, a 9-month-old – child that was delivered to term.

  I mean, it – it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute. For that purpose, I think it would probably be found unconstitutional.

  9. A ban to stop aborted babies from being shelved to die would be burdensome to mothers.

  Before voting "no" for a second time in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 5, 2002, Obama stated:

  What we are doing here is to create one more burden on women, and I can't support that.

  8. Aborting babies alive and letting them die is a doctor's prerogative.

  An Obama spokesman told the Chicago Tribune in August 2004 that Obama voted against BAIPA because it included provisions that "would have taken away from doctors their professional judgment when a fetus is viable."

  7. Anyway, doctors don't do that.

  Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in October 2004 he opposed BAIPA because "physicians are already required to use life-saving measures when fetuses are born alive during abortions."

  6. Obama apparently read medical charts and saw no proof.

  Also, during a speech at Benedictine University in October 2004, Obama said "there was no documentation that hospitals were actually doing what was alleged in testimony presented before him in committee," according to the Illinois Leader.

  5. Aborting babies alive and letting them die is a religious issue.

  During his U.S. Senate contest against Obama, Alan Keyes famously said:

  Christ would not stand idly by while an infant child in that situation died. ... Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.
  Obama has always mischaracterized Keyes' condemnation as a blanket statement against Obama's pro-abortion position, which is untrue. Keyes was pointedly discussing infanticide.

  Nevertheless, induced labor abortion, the procedure that sometimes results in babies being aborted alive, must be included as one Obama condones. Obama responded first to Keyes as he recounted in a July 10, 2006, USA Today op ed:

  ... [W]e live in a pluralistic society, and … I can't impose my religious views on another.

  4. Aborting babies alive and letting them die violates no universal principle.

  In that USA Today piece, Obama said he reflected on that first answer, decided it was a "typically liberal response," and revised it:

  But my opponent's accusations nagged at me. ... If I am opposed to abortion for religious reasons but seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.

  3. Introducing legislation to stop live aborted babies from being shelved to die was a political maneuver.

  During the Benedictine University speech, Obama said, "The bill was unnecessary in Illinois and was introduced for political reasons," according to the Illinois Leader.

  2. Sinking Born Alive was about outmaneuvering that political maneuver.

  Obama has this quote on his website:

  Pam Sutherland … of … Illinois Planned Parenthood … told ABC News, "We worked with him specifically on his strategy. The Republicans were in control of the Illinois Senate at the time. They loved to hold votes on 'partial birth' and 'born alive.' They put these bills out all the time ... because they wanted to pigeonhole Democrats. ..."
  And the No. 1 reason Obama voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act was:

  1. Introducing Born Alive was a ploy to overturn Roe v. Wade.

  During a debate against Keyes in October 2004, Obama stated:

  Now, the bill that was put forward was essentially a way of getting around Roe vs. Wade. ... At the federal level, there was a similar bill that passed because it had an amendment saying this does not encroach on Roe vs. Wade. I would have voted for that bill.
  This was a lie on two points.

  First, there was no such amendment.

  Second, both definitions of "born alive" were always identical. The concluding paragraph changed in the federal version. But Obama, as chairman of the committee that vetted Illinois' version in 2003, refused to allow an amendment rendering both concluding paragraphs identical. He also refused to call the bill and killed it.

  The federal paragraph (c) actually weakened the pro-abortion position by opening the possibility of giving legal status to preborn children, the opposite of Obama's contention:

  Illinois' paragraph (c): A live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law.
  Federal paragraph (c): Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being "born alive" as defined in this section.

  At any rate, so what if stopping hospitals and abortion clinics from aborting babies alive and leaving them to die did theoretically "encroach on Roe v. Wade"?

  Obama was admitting he supported infanticide if that were true.

  Just sent the following message to McCain. I've written and e-mailed similarly in the past.

  Please choose Mike Huckabee for Vice President. With his executive experience and wide appeal to conservatives, he is the perfect complement to President McCain. You will be amazed at the immense grassroots support for a McCain/Huckabee ticket; many of us are holding back complete support until we see who will be McCain's running mate.

  Mark Smith (was your granddad a Baptist pastor?) Thank you for pointing out the balance between our reliance on God and our duty as citizens in a country where the government still rests to some extent in our hands.

  I went to a college whose motto was (translated) "Having put your trust in God, work."

  Why do the nations rage
  and the peoples plot in vain?
  The kings of the earth set themselves,
  and the rulers take counsel together,
  against the LORD and against his
  Anointed, saying,
  "Let us burst their bonds apart
  and cast away their cords from us."

  He who sits in the heavens laughs;
  the Lord holds them in derision.
  Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
  and terrify them in his fury, saying,
  "As for me, I have set my King
  on Zion, my holy hill." (Ps 2:1-6 ESV)

  It is God who removes "kings" and sets up "kings" (Daniel 2:21; I imagine that also includes presidents!). In a system of government such as ours -- a republic, if we can keep it, said Benjamin Franklin -- I believe that God sets up leaders through people. Ultimately, it is God who has determined unfolding history of our nation, including each of its leaders, her wars, her founding and ultimately her end. The United States is NOT the Kingdom of God on Earth. That is yet to come in its fulfillment.

  That is not to say that we have no role. Not hardly. We are to vote, be vocal, defend the innocent, and most of all PRAY for the election, the voters, the electors, and ultimately for the man who is elected. God has saved kings, pharisees, slave ship captains, and ordinary sinners... Either man who is elected president this year will not be the ideal for most of us. We know that many ignorant souls, many other with designs of power and evils like expanded baby and infirm murder, and others with communist dreams like those Obama has voiced, are just waiting to poke the hole, pull the lever or otherwise cast their vote for the candidate of their scheming dreams. We must do likewise for the one man in this election who can be an instrument for the preservation, for now, of this nation and all the things we hold true and dear.

  Just look at the difference between the US and China at the Olympics. Young men and women who desired to be the best, to compete at the Games, to win and represent their country. They live at home, sometimes for a season in Colorado Springs. They are truthful, free.... Compare that to the Chinese athletes, who were chosen by their government, ripped from their homes while in preschool, and driven externally to win Gold...and I suspect there was more than one "or else" added to that. Families' fortunes ride on the success or failure of their children. In the opening ceremonies, one little girl was replaced with another, because she wasn't pretty enough. It's one thing if Hollywood does that (still wrong)...but to have that decision made by a member of the national politburo.... So, which kind of government do you want to live under? One that is free, or one that is clearly not?

  As you already have read this is what Mike Huckabee said yesterday: 8/12/08
  (concerning Barack Obama)

  We now know he voted against the state equivalent (in the committee which he chaired) of the federally passed "Born Alive Infants Protection Act." To put that in perspective, the House and Senate of the U.S. Congress voted unanimously six years ago to pass it and not even NARAL campaigned against it. Yet Barack Obama did in the Illinois legislature.

  If you are a pro-life conservative, this vote is chilling. We cannot risk an Obama presidency and we certainly cannot risk a Democrat President and Democrat Congress working together to pass an anti-life agenda.

  __________________________________________

  Judge Deborah,

  I can agree on many things you say but the following statement you just made today; I am really having a difficult time understanding. You have the right of course to choose and campaign for whomever. But it seems like an oxymoron to me when you say if McCain does not choose Huckabee then you will go out and campaign for Obama. But then you will work hard to get conservatives into other offices. I am having a difficult time reconciling the two. Mike Huckabee's website does not promote Barack Obama in any way shape or form.

  If my eyes are playing tricks on me; then please forgive me.

  08/13/2008 09:31 AM

  

  Gov. Huckabee:
  I hope you will have a whole series of "What Do We Know about Barack Obama" posts, because there is much more to fear if he becomes President than just his anti-life stance. (That is foundational to be sure)

  Not only would more babies' lives be at risk, but also the elderly, infirm, and handicapped. America's sovereignty and security would most defiinitely be at risk, too.
  Families would be taxed so heavily that many more would crumble.

  Do people know that behind Barack's friendly smile and warm handshake, behind the smooth words, are many policies and preconceived positions that are extremely liberal? I believe very few of his supporters realize just how radically to the left he is, and how disastrous a government led by the liberal Democrats could be for our country.

  Some say that because there is evil and corruption in Washington that it is a good idea to throw out the Republicans and any thing having to do with Pres. Bush. This is over-simplifying the problems.

  No person is above making wrong decisions now and then, but we can certainly look at politician's records and try to discover the core values and beliefs that will guide their future decisions.

  Religion and faith is important! Character counts! I would far rather have a President or legislator of character and integrity than to have one who is a wealthy, charismatic, feel-good promiser of pipe dreams.

  We, the PEOPLE, must decide if the United States of America will remain a free and sovereign nation. Let's start now to ask every family member, friend, and associate who is pro-life and pro-traditional American values to register to VOTE. What an awesme freedom this country affords!

  Love to Gov. Mike and Janet Huckabee, to all your family and HuckPAC workers, as well as to all the faithful supporters of your campaign! Thanks for the long hours of hard work. "Well done, good and faithful servants."
  May God continue to bless you.

  John McCain has persecuted Christians for years.
  
  John McCain went over the top in disrespecting Christians by refusing to debate Mike Huckabee at Cedarville University and by refusing to vet Mike Huckabee for V.P. or even discuss the Vice Presidency with him.
  
  Because of John McCain's blatant disregard and hatred of Christians, Judge Deborah will campaign for Barack Obama and Mike Turner.
  
  Judge Deborah will make 15,000 calls to help elect conservative Christian Governors, Representatives, Senators, and Mayors.
  
  Vote for John McCain and Rick Davis and wipe the city of Wilmington off the map. John McCain and Rick Davis lobbyied and earnned hundreds of thousands of dollars giving DHL to European (German) Deutsche Post.
  
  Only if John McCain vets Mike Huckabee and we hear Ed Rollins say so on CNN, will conservative Christians consider voting for John McCain.
  
  Mike Huckabee is the only Vice President conservatives should even consider voting for.
  
  Mike Huckabee is 100% pro-life.
  
  Mike Huckabee is 100% Fair Tax, which the GOP in their hubris, will be forced to accept, when the conservative grassroots movement insists on getting their jobs back!
  
  No more Northrop Gromman & European Airbus! We want American Boeing for our U.S. fighter jets!
  
  U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.
  
  Mike Huckabee was John McCain's staunchest defender and supporter through all the Republican debates.

  I aggree with Mr. Huckabee, electing Senators and Congressman who hold life in the highest esteem is of essential importance. It is the practical aproach to retaking our party and making sure our values are truly represented. The only question that I have is: How can I help in my state at the ground level?

  Hi Jeri!

  Thanks for your post about saving babies, etc. I'm so glad you stood up so courageously for the babies and for life at your former job.

  Please don't take the "Fab 15" list too seriously -- I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that Huckapedia did that with tongue in cheek, just picking the names of some folks who post here often, trying to rally the troops and keep us fired up. It's not an award or anything. ANYONE who stands up for life is a Fab in God's eyes!! We are ALL "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:5). Anyone who supports Mike Huckabee is a Huckabyte!

  When we lived in Washington, DC we voted for George W. Bush. We called ourselves "The FEW... the PROUD... the NINE PERCENT...."

  Thank you Governor Huckabee! You are an answer to prayers. For years I was a Democrat and personally didn’t believe in Abortion, but bought into the legality that America is a free country and every woman should have a right to choose. That all sounded so righteous until I encountered the Lord Jesus and read His Word and found out that human life is the most valuable resource on this planet, and He gave us all the necessary ingredients to sustain it. If we only respected one another, we would be able to come up with real and healthy Family Planning solutions.

  Like many of us here, I’ve labored hard to end this Genocide, because I found the Bible clearly says God cannot bless a nation when it’s filled with the Blood of the innocent. Israel’s enemies were able to destroy her because the people wouldn’t stop sacrificing their children. America has done the same thing, and now we’re at war at all sides including our city streets filled with foreign Terrorist Gang thugs teaching our young people how to kill one another. We are all equally affected and share the guilt. Everyone has lost one or more family members. Survivors don’t know how to value themselves, let alone their neighbor. Homosexuality is just another form of death to a family line.

  For the last year I was praying for God to bring back the heroes, the John Wayne’s, the Audie Murphy’s, to fight for the little people, and I couldn’t believe my ears when I watched the Primaries, and you never let up that you had fought for and passed a Right to Life Amendment as Governor in a Democratic State. You were so verbal about it regardless of the mockery that I had to learn more, and found out you and Janet were the real deal, with the hero Chuck Norris at your side. Yet we know some in the Pro-Life Movement didn’t recognize or remember their first mission statement. I must admit there were so many confusing messages, that I won’t be too hard on them, BUT we must keep on being the VOICE for the Almost Born and hold leaders accountable by making sure the ones with a Death Wish don’t get Elected.

  The most amazing thing is that through your Campaign and now HUCKPAC, a whole Army of Heroes have arrived an more are on their way. GOD IS SO GOOD!

  To Dan Little:
  I understand how you feel. Everyone who first learns the truth of what Abortion really is, the politically correct name for Genocide; goes through a period of disbelief, shock, a sick feeling, grief, anger then finally a resolve to do something to stop it.

  To Ashley Jeri:
  Your Pro-Life Testimony is powerful, I learned a lot, please keep up the fight and sharing.

  To Huckapedia:
  Thanks for the honor, but 4 million is quite a responsibility. We all have different gifts, where some maybe weak, others are strong and that’s the amazing thing about an Army.

  NOW People lets make those Calls, write those Letters, blitz those Emails, to send the peoples choice, Mike Huckabee to Washington as the next Vice President of the United States by giving him another BIG PUSH. He’ll be the most helpful and trusted member of President John McCain’s Team.

  Day 1: fertilization: all human chromosomes are present; unique human life begins.

  Day 6: embryo begins implantation in the uterus.
  Day 22: heart begins to beat with the child's own blood, often a different type than the mothers'.

  Week 3: By the end of third week the child's backbone spinal column and nervous system are forming. The liver, kidneys and intestines begin to take shape.

  Week 4: By the end of week four the child is ten thousand times larger than the fertilized egg.

  Week 7: Eyelids, and toes form, nose distinct. The baby is kicking and swimming.

  Week 8: By the 8th week the baby can begin to hear.

  Weeks 9 and 10: The baby can turn his head, and frown. The baby can hiccup.

  Weeks 10 and 11: Week 11 the baby can grasp objects placed in its hand; all organ systems are functioning. The baby has a skeletal structure, nerves, and circulation.

  Week 12: The baby has all of the parts necessary to experience pain, including nerves, spinal cord, and thalamus. Vocal cords are complete. The baby can suck its thumb.

  Week 17: The baby can have dream (REM) sleep.

  Week 20: The earliest stage at which Partial birth abortions are performed. At 20 weeks the baby recognizes its' mothers voice.

  Notice: Life begins on day one, any time living cells are involved, It's life. I thought we lived in a country where taking a innocent life was Murder, I believe its a state and federal thing all should recognize LIFE starts on Day ONE. why should any one have the right to take a life. What if George Washington's mother had Aborted Him? What if we have already aborted the next Einstein or Benjamin Franklin? This seems like a no brainer to me!! Someone with a loud Bold Voice needs to stand up and sell this argument for what it is, MURDER!!!!!!!!!!

  Gov. Huckabee, thank you so much for speaking out on Sen. Obama's extreme view on abortion. All the change rhetoric in the world can't cover this glaring error in his philosophy, and it is important that this country knows fully Sen. Obama's position on this.

  I just read this about Jill Stanek: "Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. In 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act."

  A "live birth abortion" isn't a work of fiction, it's real, and Sen. Obama's views on the subject should cause every voter to stop short. His position is indefensible.

  Ms. Stanek's commentary on this can be found at

  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=37080 Whether one appreciates her commentary's title, the information it contains is verifiable, and tells of a very disturbing side of Sen. Obama. She writes, "Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me."

  Thank you, Gov. Huckabee, for adding this to the myriad of reasons why Sen. Obama should not be our next president, and why we need to support those who support life.

• Centrella, Thomas

  Dear Ms. Cornell,

  I am writing to earnestly beseech you and everyone else who reads this to get out the word that if Senator McCain does not choose a prolife VP candidate, millions (including me) will not vote for him, no matter how horrible Obama is.

  I've heard a lot of the same arguments this election cycle as last time, and I'd like to explain why these really are false arguments:
  
  1. "McCain needs to move to the center to attract Democrats and Independents."
  Answer: Define "center." It is simply not correct to assume that McCain needs to compromise on the sanctity of life or the sanctity of marriage to get more votes. First, there are many Democrats and Independents who would be willing to vote for prolife, profamily candidates. Those are not the issues that keep them from being Republican. Rather, they are weak morally in that they vote for Democrats *despite* (not because of) their wrong positions. So, they wouldn’t refrain from voting for McCain if he holds those positions. Second, this assumes that those voters who are truly prolife and profamily would still vote for McCain even if he chose a "prochoice" or pro-homosexual-agenda candidate. But this assumption is dead wrong. McCain will not get my vote or the votes of millions of others who are *prolife first, Republican second.* Third, this ignores the reality that there are Democrats and Independents who hold to the "anyone but Obama" position. These people are not against Obama because he's prolife or profamily, since in fact he is rabidly proabortion and pro-homosexual-agenda. They are against Obama because of *other issues.* Those are the issues that McCain needs to tap into. Fourth, this is a *faithless* position. It ignores that there is a Sovereign God, whose Providence is over all things. If McCain breaks faith with God by choosing a "prochoice" or pro-homosexual-agenda candidate for the sake of a political victory, then God will no longer be on McCain's side. God hates all evil. *He doesn't choose the lesser of two evils. Nor should John McCain. Nor should we.*

  2. "We need to choose the lesser of two evils."
  Answer: I understand what is being said here, but we need to make an important distinction: It's OK to vote for "the less perfect of the two," but it's *not* OK to vote for "the lesser of two evils." I can vote for someone who is terrible on taxes, govt. spending, education, global warming, the military, the war on terror, minimum wage, states rights, and many other issues. Such a candidate would be the "less perfect of the two," and I could still vote for him. But I cannot ever vote for someone who is in favor of grave evils such as abortion and "same-sex marriage." In that case, it really would be "the lesser of two *evils*," and the lesser of two evils is still evil. I cannot vote for evil, *no matter what.* If I get put in that position, then I can only fall upon the feet of God, admitting that I do not know why He has allowed us to come to such a point, and remain faithful to Him by not voting for either of those evils.

  I realize that Obama is absolutely horrible. I am certain that McCain is not as bad as him. But there has to be some solid line beyond which we will not cross, no matter whom a candidate is running against. And any ticket in which the president or VP thinks it should be legal to kill innocent babies is way over that line. At that point, we must realize that both choices are truly evil and we should not put blood on our hands by voting for either of them.

  If McCain chose someone who believes in "the right to choose" to physically abuse women, I wonder how many people would be saying we still ought to vote for him? Or what if he chose an avowed Nazi, or a KKK member? Yet, somehow people are willing to close their eyes (and souls) if he chooses a proabortion candidate like Lieberman!

  Not me, and not millions of others.

  3. "Not voting is a vote for Obama."
  Answer: Wrong! Not voting is not voting. If John McCain chooses someone who is not truly prolife, as evidenced by their record—Lieberman, Romney, Ridge, and Rice, for example—then *he*, not us is responsible for his actions. He puts sincere prolife voters like me, who are truly trying to live their lives according to their conscience, in the position of having to decide between two evil choices. Yes I said "evil," because anyone who thinks it is OK to rip apart babies limb by limb (D&C abortion), burn them to death (saline abortion), or stab their skulls and suck their brains out (partial-birth abortion) is *evil*. And Joe Lieberman supports all of that, and Condi Rice supports most or all of that. Mitt Romney has a record of supporting these evils too, despite his rhetoric, and Tom Ridge is not truly prolife either.

  If McCain chooses a "prochoice" running mate and Obama ends up in the White House, it will *not* be the fault of those who, in good conscience, decided not to vote for either of them. It will be the fault of John McCain for doing something that prevents truly prolife people from voting for him.

  (But, of course, we can still vote for other candidates—for example, Sen. John Cornyn in Texas.)

  4. "If he's 80% right, we can overlook the 20%"
  Answer: This is a numbers game, but it falsely assumes that all issues are equal. The sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage are so grave that they tower over virtually all other issues. If a candidate is wrong on those, then *he lacks human decency*; he is sick in his soul; and he lacks the moral character to lead, no matter what his experience is. This numbers game is a fallacy; it's not the percentage or number of issues in which we agree that matters, it's *which* issues!

  5. "Anyone but Obama. We have to support McCain no matter what"
  Answer: I agree that Obama would be a nightmare. But I don't agree that I ought to surrender my soul and my conscience in order to keep him out of office. I don't believe in Consequentialism or Proportionalism: making moral decisions based on consequences—doing what I believe would bring the most good for the most people and the least evil for the least people—which basically says that every moral decision "depends on the circumstances" and therefore has "exceptions." This is wrong. (I have a master's degree in theology, and I have learned moral theology from one of the greatest minds in the field.) The rationale behind such moral decision-making paradigms is false; it wrongly assumes that we could know all the possible outcomes of every action, and it ignores the truth that some moral actions are intrinsically evil—that is, evil by their very nature—and therefore are always and everywhere wrong. Abortion is one of those intrinsic evils. Homosexual behavior is another. These actions are *never* morally permissible. If I vote for someone who I know is in favor of legalized abortion or “same-sex marriage”—*no matter what my reasons are (including the goal of keeping Obama out)*—then I cooperate in that evil.

  I could never, in good conscience, do that. It would be like betraying my own children, whom Lieberman, Romney, Ridge, Rice, and all other “prochoice” candidates think my wife and I could have killed by turning over to an abortionist—God forbid!

  You may not agree with all of my arguments. But I know my people. Yes, there are those whose faith is weak and who will surrender their votes because they’ve bought into one or more of the above false arguments. But I'm telling you, there are millions of us who will not vote for McCain he if doesn't choose a prolife candidate. And no fear-mongering or false accusations against us will change that. And if we get stuck with Obama, it won't be our fault; it will be John McCain's fault.

  I hope and pray that John McCain will do the right thing and choose a candidate who is truly 100% prolife and profamily (committed 100% to marriage only between one man and one woman). If he does, I will vote for him, and millions more will as well. And God will be pleased with him. And there will be hope that God will give him the victory.

  But if he chooses a "prochoice" or pro-homosexual-agenda candidate, I could not vote for him. Nor could millions of others. And I believe God will not give him the victory.

  It's in John McCain's hands. We need to pray that he does the right thing. And I beg you to please pass the word and somehow find people who can reach him to convey to him this urgent message. Erik Canter and Mike Huckabee are two examples of fine candidates who would both be men of great character and persons who could help McCain attract more voters.

  IF HE DOES THE RIGHT THING, THE VOTES WILL FOLLOW. IF HE DOESN'T, THEY WON'T.

  Sincerely,

  Thank you, Gov. Huckabee, for standing up for all the little preborn babies whose lives are threatened by the scourge of legalized abortion. We must never tire of reaching our goal: Full, complete legal protection of every preborn baby. The principle is clear: "All mean are created equal." All means all. Equal means equal. The life of the preborn baby, from fertilization onward, is EQUAL in value to the life of every other human being, including the mother, the father, the doctor, you, me, and every other person. Therefore, every preborn baby must have EQUAL legal protection for his or her right to live.

  We cannot compromise on this principle. And we must never forget that "All men were created equal." And therefore, we must fight earnestly for "equal justice under law" for the preborn and every other human being whose rights are threatened.

  Speaking of pro-life candidates, Brad Klippert is running for Washington State House of Representatives; 8th Legislative District; Position 1.

  He has an excellent resume ncluding "Licensed Minister". In his statement he states that he is 100% pro-life (which he is) and has “One Nation Under God” on his yard signs. Brad is not shy about being a Christian and does not hesitate to use God’s name when speaking.

  There are two other Republicans running for the position, but neither of them mention whether they are pro-life nor anything about God in their statements.

  Please vote for Brad Klippert to protect our families in Washington State.

  Jeri Ashley: I was one of those honored by Huckapedia with the task of contacting 4 million Mike Huckabee supporters, so that John McCain can know how strong Mike's support really is. I was initially jubilant to see that I was not only on the list, but in the top 10! However, when I divided 4 million by 15 honorees, I found 267,000 voters to be my share of the responsibility. I probably know personally about 20 people who are on our side (I live in Maryland, which is overwhelmingly Democrat), so that leaves about 266,980 to go.

  In hearing that your name was omitted from the list, I would like to offer you co-ownership of the no. 9 position. For example, you could be 9.5. That would relieve my mind considerably, as I could always blame someone else on our team if we fall a little short in the count.

  Since I am not a "real" doctor but still call myself Doctor David (I am a PhD, and my moniker is what my non-doctoral friends jokingly call me), you could use a pseudonym, like Nurse Jeri. Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a pseudonym, because you are the real deal!

  So, given the blessing of Huckapedia, who probably did extensive research to generate this roster, I think there might be room for 16 people among the so-honored. Or maybe even a few more.

  Thanks again, Gov. for your continued stance on pro-life issues. I believe we will be held accountable for our tacit approval of candidates who do not value human life at all stages. Barack Obama is a mirage to the desperate.
  I appreciate your loyal support of John McCain, and though I'm still on the fence regarding his candidacy, I'll continue to consider in prayer and stay alert until November.

  Obama's views regarding life are indeed chilling. When I was carrying my son Caleb I had a very difficult pregnancy. I was in bed for months and spent several weeks in the hospital - all for the express purpose of trying to save "the baby." If he was a baby in my womb and the doctors and nurses were desperately trying to keep him alive, why are other babies only considered fetuses. Did my desire to have him make him more of a person?

  I think the answer here is that people choose to believe what they want to believe. They choose what is popular, convenient, and what satisfies their personal desires.

  But the truth is that life is life, regardless of man's perception. And we must do all we can to protect life. That is why we must do everything in our power to keep Obama, and others like him, out of power.

• ashley, jeri

  08/12/2008 09:17 PM

  

  Before I say what I think needs to be said, let me preface my remarks so you know where I am coming from.

  I believe (know) that life begins at conception and as a labor & delivery nurse that point is driven home daily. Several years ago I worked for a teaching hospital that did abortions. I did not know this when I hired on but after realizing this practice was done, my manager and I researched and found that for religious reasons I would not be required to take part in this heinous act. Every one of my colleagues knew why I believed that way and I was able to witness to the issue. But after 15 months, I realized I could not even work for an institution that did this even though I did not take part in it and was able to influence others by my presence. So I left.

  I am still a very strong pro-life citizen. I have been very convicted about this issue and spoken out about it for a long time. A friend of mine recently confessed her history of having an abortion. The reason it took her so long was because she knows how strongly I feel about this issue. I am sorry it took her so long even though I have tried to show compassion for those who find themselves having to face this decision or having had to face this decision sometime in the past.

  To date, as far as I know, we do not have the technological capacity and/or experience to help a baby survive that is born before 21+ weeks. For the medical profession (at least in this area), 23 weeks gestation is the cutoff date of ‘viability.’ That means if a baby is born (or aborted) before 23 weeks, it has no chance for survival. Most professionals at this point, provide palliative or supportive care much as an elderly person dying in a hospice. Parents are allowed to grieve with the infant. But to me, this is a lot different from stabbing an infant’s skull with scissors or any other method to purposely end its life before nature does it naturally.

  So let us not kid ourselves that when a baby is aborted at 12 weeks or 16 weeks that doing nothing is murder. We can spend millions of dollars and effort to try and ‘save’ the baby but the end result will be the same, the baby will die. Sad but true (for now).

  The intent of abortion is murder. Changing the name doesn’t change its consequences. I find it ironic that an abortionist, whose main purpose is to kill a fetus/child/baby, would then take efforts to try to save it. And they would argue that it isn’t salvageable (or viable) anyway. Maybe that is why they justify it legally at younger terms.

  This might get people fired up but the real issue is the abortion in the first place. Not necessarily what is done with the ‘products of conception’ (medically speaking) after the abortion. I just don’t want you all to sound like misinformed zealots spewing ‘right-wing garbage’ as I have been accused by my liberal coworkers. The fact that Obama believes in a woman’s right to choose, or that he doesn’t want his daughters ‘punished’ with a child for their mistake, is enough horror to get us riled up. Be careful how you discuss with liberals the issue of letting an aborted baby die and trying to save it when we can’t. Get to the heart of the issue of why the abortion was wrong in the first place. Thank you for listening.

  I am feeling left out after the Fab 15 announcement and this will probably alienate me even more but I care too much about a human's chance at life to let it go.

  Dan Little,

  I completely understand why this subject makes you feel uncomfortable and disturbed. Any person who looks at the COLD reality of abortion, in whatever form, should not only feel what you are feeling; but also be totally sick & horrified!

  Unfortunately, millions of Americans are either desensitized to the harsh realities of abortion, partial-birth abortion, and live-birth abortion; or they have Failed to look at the Truth-----that we are a nation and a people, who have legalized the murder of millions of babies!

  To your credit, you are obviously a person who has NOT become hardened towards this very difficult subject. I am very grateful for Governor Huckabee's strong Pro-Life stance, and his willingness to passionately fight for the lives of the unborn!

  GOD BLESS YOU!

  George Clooney -Hollywood heart-throb has entered the political arena at
  the highest level – by becoming an unofficial adviser to US Presidential front-runner Barack Obama.
  Oscar-winner Clooney, 47, is said to be helping the Democratic candidate to polish his image at home and abroad.

  But he is also sharing with Obama his strong opinions on Iraq and the Middle East.
  
  Close: Oscar-winner George Clooney is said to call Barack Obama at least twice a week

  Sources say the actor has tried to hide the pair’s friendship for fear his Left-wing views and playboy image would hurt the Presidential hopeful’s bid for the White House.
  But Democratic Party insiders have revealed that Clooney and Obama regularly send texts and emails to each other and speak by phone at least twice a week.

  ‘George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East.
  ‘George is pushing him to be more “balanced” on issues such as US relations with Israel.

  'George is pro-Palestinian. And he is also urging Barack to withdraw unconditionally from Iraq if he wins.

  ‘It’s a very risky relationship. His hope of becoming America’s first black President depends heavily on winning over conservative voters and it would be suicidal for him to be perceived as a tool of a Hollywood Leftie, which is how they regard George.

  ‘But they text and email each other almost every day and speak on the phone at least a couple of times a week, often more.’

  One of Clooney’s trusted acquaintances said: ‘George is a master at crafting his own image and he is helping Obama to hone his image both domestically and abroad.

  'He told me he feels Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime leader. He is doing everything he can behind the scenes to bolster support in Hollywood, not just with other celebrities but with the money men at the studios.’

  The acquaintance added: ‘He has tried to keep the true extent of their involvement out of the Press because he is frightened of alienating voters.’

  Clooney himself has admitted in an interview: ‘I’ve had the conversation with him saying, “Look, I’ll give you whatever support you need, including staying completely away from you.”’
  \
  Clooney’s spokesman Stan Rosen-feld said last night: ‘I know they have spoken. I view it as a private conversation.’ Obama’s Press office did not comment.

  I am so glad and thankful that you take the issue of pro-life very seriously. Once we are heading down this slippery slope; it then becomes improbable to reverse the course. Four years of Obama ..... excuse me but my mind does not even want to go through that door ..... I will flee and run to the light faster and faster before I get caught and entangled in this web of deceitfulness and darkness, entrapped and ensnared with no hope .... not even a little beam of light I see anywhere.

  We know more than that! He's pro choice, and his handlers shouldn't EVER let him speak without a TelePrompTer in front of him, and he has lots of great ideas that he either can't or won't articulate. Frankly I believe the latter.

  I like surprise birthday parties, but beyond that I absolutely hate surprises. I am not thrilled with McCain, but at least I'm not left with a mere blueline sketch of what his presidency would look like. All the colors aren't there yet, but I have a pretty good idea of what he's about.

  Obama? As evidenced by the Hannity and Colmes video, he doesn't even know WHY he wants to do what he wants to do with our nation...why should he be given a chance when he has no plan beyond a bunch of pretty little catch phrases and vague sound bites?

  He shouldn't, plain and simple.

  I checked out the "Log Cabin Republicans'" website and here's what they say about their support for McCain. It seems that pro-traditional family issues will most likely not be considered by McCain...just like here in CA with Schwarzeneggar. That's the reason why McCain has the support of "gay and lesbian" Republican. I just sincerely hope that Prop. 8 will be passed in November to support a one-man and one-woman marriage only amendment to our state's constitution.

  Governor, I also hope that you and other like-minded politicians such as yourself will consider starting up a "new 3rd party" for 2012. Especially, if John McCain doesn't choose a social conservative Republican. I sincerely hope that he chooses you for VP. The Democratic party does not have an ounce of "conservatism" in them. Obama's dogma is outrageous! And, he's a quasi-Christian who believes that there are "other ways" to get to heaven.

  So, who does a pro-life, pro-traditional, Fair-tax supporter vote for? I wish it was you...HUCKABEE for President!

  I'm still keeping you and the Huck PAC supported politicians in my prayers.

  I'm so glad Mike continues to stand firm for one of God's basic principles. His endorsements, comments, and blog posts uplift, inspire, encourage, and certainly inform me. Thanks Mike!

  They also sell pro-life bumper stickers with which you can express your opinion.

  As I was thinking about Governor Huckabee's commitment to pro-life politicians, I was reminded of what is recorded in John 10:10 that Jesus said: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Thus, I firmly believe that people must be pro-life to live as Jesus did, and to please Him. I pray that Governor Huckabee and other leaders who honor Jesus by standing for pro-life, will be honored and blessed by Him.
