I don't care to "dig dirt"..since it can only enrage,... not convince, people.
   I do like some of RP's stands, I just wish he were not so wishy-washy about moral issues..
   
  I tend to view a nation much as I do an individual..composed of a body, soul and spirit.    Body= the land, Soul= the culture, Spirit= spiritual values...
     In my opinion, if we overlook any of the three..we are settling for a partial nation or only "half a sandwich"..
   It seems that whenever RP is asked a moral question, he seems to evade the issue  with statements like " I don't think govt should deal with prostitution" or in the
  case of homos marrying, " the states should each decide"...abortion; ..hand it back to the states...
    I saw M. Huckabee interviewed the other day, and I figured he had a more honest explanation. He said that things like abortion, marriage, prostitution etc are all moral questions, and we should decide wht kind of a people we are. If we don't want to face these moral choices with an honest YES or NO..then let's throw out all the other laws pertaining to;
         THOU SHALT NOT :  murder
            "         "       "        steal
            "         "       "         bear false witness
            "         "        "      covet (or steal) thy neighbor's goods   etc etc...
            As far as throwing tough decisions back upon the individual states..we tried that once didn't we !
    At one time, we had slave states and free states...didn't work very well ..did it ??
    I think we are not called the UNITED STATES for no reason...
