I have written that Sam Brownback’s hanging onto the presidential race raises the question of whether he cares more about his signal issue of life or more about Sam Brownback. Rich Lowry makes the same point in an article at National Review Online.
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NWU1ZWVkODcxNTU5ZGQzMzg4ODJkYzk1MWYwZmJlN2Q= Lowry also points to some recent swinging in Brownback’s posture on some issues. I think that it probably isn’t a lot more than the fact that Brownback isn’t particularly lucid in his perspective, so that his sentiments aren’t intellectually constrained, and he has found himself grasping for attention and approval, like a struggling man in rough water, grabbing for something to hold him up. As I think he has decent sentiments and a seat in the US Senate, he should just graciously settle back there and use the things that he has. If he won’t do that until he has weakened a sure pro-life candidate in a conflict with those who have been historically unsure, I may have to question his priorities.
For those looking for Mike Huckabee’s history on issues (in text at http://mikehuckabee.com), I have culled video from YouTube , where there are too many, including a lot of personal reactions to Huckabee. The below are mostly Huckabee video appearances.
Near the end, I included an audio comment about John McCain’s (politically changed) position on the Confederaqte flag at the courthouse in South Carolina. I included it to point out McCain’s Washington muddled-headedness on constitutional questions. Huckabee correctly identifies McCain’s error in not recognizing the proper sovereignty of states in deciding such an issue. Huckabee says if South Carolina wants to remove the flad that’s fine, but the federal government has no business imposing itself. I said back at the time of the controversy that I didn’t think it was worth it for South Carolina to post the flag there if it offended much of their population, but it was South Carolina’s decision to make. McCain simply doesn’t understand these things and neither does Thompson.
