Huckabee Wins the Hearts of Washington 'Values Voters'

By Dr. Tony Beam|Christian Post Guest Columnist

Concerning sticking to the principles that originally drew millions of value voters into the political process Huckabee said, “We need to once again realize that there was a time when there were certain things negotiable: which federal agencies should stay or go, which programs ought to get more or less money. But some things were not negotiable: the sanctity of human life, the definition of marriage, the purpose of freedom, and the opportunity for us to worship as we please. Let us never sacrifice our principles for anybody’s politics…not now, not ever.”

Later that night, Dr. James Dobson was honored by the Family Research Council for his lifelong contributions to defending and building up the family. After listening to the likes of former Attorney General Ed Meese recall how faithful Dr. Dobson had been in defending moral values in the public arena, Dr. Dobson took the podium and used it as an opportunity to remind us what really matters come election day. He recalled the time in 1998 when he stood in front of 400,000 prolife supporters in Washington and vowed that he would never again compromise by voting for someone who was not decidedly and demonstrably prolife. As long as Governor Mike Huckabee is in race thank God we don’t have to compromise. We don’t have to hold our nose and vote. We can march into the voting booth, vote Huckabee, and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have stood by the things that matter most.

    Thank you, Dr. Beam, for your voice of reason and conviction. It's great to see evangelical leaders finally standing up for what we know in our hearts to be the right thing to do! Huckabee is our man for '08!
