Social Conservatives. Values Voters.

First the NY Times supports McCain. Then the NY Times slimes McCain. All rather predictable.

Limbaugh asked this question a LOT back in Iowa. But I haven't heard him asking it so much lately. "What if Mike Huckabee wins Iowa?"

Well what if Huckabee wins a whole bunch more States especially in the south? And now that the wimpier Bush has endorsed John McCain here's the real big question that I hope gets heard not just in Iowa and in Texas but all the way to Ohio and Pennsylvania:

WHAT IF HUCKABEE WINS IN TEXAS?

Well for one thing, social conservatives will be quite happy and perhaps some in the GOP will experience a genuine versus a mere pragmatic hat tipping civility toward social conservative convictions. Perhaps.

After all, if we don't have intact families and we have zany understandings of 'significant others' as family but no Moms and Dads (like California text books exclude so as not to offend gay couples), and we have politicians wanting abortion rare and safe and legal but can't keep an abortion survivor alive (Obama voting 'present') or draw a line in the sand with the latest term, viable child being partially born alive then aborting banning (both Hillary and Obama support partial birth abortion)...well...one more question...

If we end up with those sorts of "values", will economic conservatism alone or military conservatism alone be good enough for you? Will they save us? What sort of country/place/civilization will we be defending? And what sort of 'product' will we be selling?

All the top three were against the vindicated science of Bush and for utilizing a moral-conviction-divided publics tax monies to fund the now debunked ineffective unique human embryo destroying procedure for procuring stem cells for cures. Stem cells we now know (by the grace of God or who knows what sort of Frankenstein-ian culture we might have become!) the cloner of Dolly the Sheep won't even use because they are not productive. BTW, culture of death champions like those who approve of partial birth abortion, still want to force you to be able to use your money to mess with these little humans in experiments.

No candidates are perfect. All are far from it and I am far from it too. But in light of the choices... Perhaps I should ask again, "Why wouldn't we want Huckabee to win Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio?" Because the NY Times endorses the other guy? Is that it?
