I went back and looked and Huckabee was running for Senate in 1992 (he lost). The statements came up in his answering a big questionnaire from the AP during his election run. Those questions came back up and became more prominently pushed out in the media when he ran for President in 2008. He reiterated his support for all his answers though he did try to provide context for some of them, like the AIDS quarantine, by explaining that it was an epidemic then and he might not support a quarantine in 2008.
He also had the, now standard, answers about homosexuality being an abberant, unnatural lifestyle and a sin, he opposed the Family and Medical Leave Act, denied a constitutional right to abortion, living out of wedlock is a sin, etc. Couple links on the matter: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7270.html http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/11/politics/main3607804.shtml Cheers, Judah On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 1:31 PM, Dana <dana.tier...@gmail.com> wrote: > > good point but this brings us back to the difference between a politician > with some power to make things happen and your next door neighbor > (especially if he's nine years old).
