Steve Deace

[evadmurd]

More abortions than ever??? Abortions are legal now thanks to Roe vs Wade! WTH is he talking about. Come on Huckster, make some sense when you speak.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Huckabee about to talk about the candidates and his forum. Oh boy.

 

[specsaregood]

I still don't get what his problem with Ron Paul is.
Does he want to outlaw homosexuality? If so, I don't see what his point is.

I suppose he thinks there needs to be a law against it otherwise he might be unable to resist the temptation to try it. That is all I can figure; but it is confusing. I know I don't need a law to keep me from doing it.

How can you be pro life and blow up innocent babies with drones over someone's religious beliefs if there is no imminent attack or threat?

 

[unknown]

How would getting rid of Roe v Wade be worse? It legalized abortions...

WTF is Huckabee babbling about?

 

[malkusm]

40%? Really? You weight those issues that heavily?

1) Ron Paul would go to war with Iran if the Congress authorized it or we were attacked.

2) Why do you care if Ron Paul thinks homosexuality is a sin as the President of the United States? What are you looking to do to homosexuals that you need a Presidential authority to do?

Plus. Freaking. Rep.

The world is full of hypocrites, mainline republicans lead the pack.

If you removed the abortion argument from the federal level, all those so-called pro-life politicians and organizations wouldn't be able to fundraise as effectively. So ya know, it would be worse for those guys.

It sounds like Steve wants the US to be a theocracy, not understanding that if you create a theocracy, the people in control WILL force THEIR beliefs on people and it won't take long before Steve finds himself living under a religious tyranny that doesn't share his particular religious views.

THAT is something that the founding fathers understood.

Someone should make a T-shirt which on the front says:

100% Pro-Life

And on the back says:

=
50% Anti-Abortion
50% Anti-War

 

[evadmurd]

Too bad this has turned into a Huckster-fest.

 

[unknown]

"Gotcha" questions. Whatever. A "gotcha" question is one that exposes Newt's lies and flip-flops.

I still don't get what his problem with Ron Paul is.

Ron is pro-life and is open to a constitutional amendment defining life at conception. So I don't see what his problem is here either.

Is it the non-interventionism? Does he just want to war on the whole religion of Islam? I don't get it...

Yes, of course he wants to outlaw homosexuality. The thing is, it's already illegal on a state level, and Ron Paul as President would take the let-Iowa-jail-gays-if-they-want position. So what's the problem?

And as you say, Paul would be OK with the amendment, but more importantly the President is irrelevant to a constitutional amendment anyway! So again, what's the problem?

There is no problem. Ron Paul will accomplish actual results for his agenda better than anyone. But Deace actually doesn't care so much about that. What's the problem? Paul doesn't give him the right rhetoric. Paul doesn't spew forth the correct talking points and rhetoric and actively promote Christianity by wearing his religion on his sleeve. Deace cares more about the posturing, the speeches, and the overall image of the candidate than the actual results in policy and culture. That's it. He values talk over walk, words over reality.

 

[Inkblots]

So, were there many good callers? I don't really have time to read 24 pages, but skimming through I saw some mentions of people being unprepared or trying to argue for Ron's positions from a secular point to an evangelical audience.

I wish I'd know this was happening, I would have liked to take a crack at calling in. There are a lot of great arguments for Ron from a Biblical and Scholastic perspective.

 

[AlexG]

Mitt Romney, consistent? LMAO

 

[Fermli]

You're damn right, we're devoted!

 

[LibertyEsq]

"devoted followers" Huckabee didn't rip Ron and he had a chance. I don't think Huck is such a bad guy, he just doesn't agree with Ron on everything

he even ripped Perry

 

[hammy]

Huckabee just said Mitt Romney was CONSISTENT?

 

[Okie RP fan]

Ron Paul: "Devoted followers."

For Mitt Romney: "Consistent" as in consistent in his campaign...

Santorum and Bachmann getting major props...

 

[bluesc]

Huckabee just said Mitt Romney was CONSISTENT?

The people of Iowa disagree. It's fine. Deace HATES Romney, apparently.
