Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] Iowa results

Right, and this is something that will likely come back and haunt Fred. I still like Fred, but I am also one of those odd Christians that do not think that government should be involved in this type of thing.

 

There are a lot of people who do not agree with me.

 

I don't have a problem with Huckabee except for his stand on illegal immigration which is a little obscure and he has made some changes to it in recent months. He is still a better candidate that McCain or Guiliani and I am glad that he won in Iowa and Guiliani came in as low as he did, I am tired of hearing the media say that Guiliani had it all locked up.

Thanks, Vern.  I had heard that it was Planned Parenthood, but apparently
you are right.  Here is the story:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-thompson7jul07,0,54260.story

His job in 1991 was "to urge the administration of President George H. W.
Bush to withdraw or relax a rule that barred abortion counseling at
clinics that received federal money."

I don't think that's any better from the perspective of the Christian
Right than lobbying for Planned Parenthood.  These groups work together,
as the article suggests.
