Brownback has not given up on message

Brownbackraisedhand "The future of the conservative movement in our country will be strong if we can be moved by genuine faith and love for mankind, but not by political power," Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., wrote in a Washington Post commentary. Brownback criticized the GOP primary process for focusing more on electability than message. He argued that the winning message is "whole-life," which goes beyond abortion. "It embraces the child in Darfur, the woman struggling in poverty, the child born with Down syndrome, the man in prison and even the immigrant," he wrote.
But did Brownback’s presidential campaign fail because Republicans thought he was unelectable or because not enough of them agreed with his message, particularly his compassion for illegal immigrants?

    Does the word “Senator” ring bells for you?

    He stood up for what is right. Liberals did not like him because he had compassion for the unborn. Liberals are an embarassment to themselves that is why they cannot stand a conservative.

    Wow. For a man now not running for president….

    I actually AGREE with his message.I think if he wants to push a ‘pro-life message’, it needs to address the reasons for abortion IN THE FIRST PLACE. And for the life of people in circumstances that face these choices.

    So I applaud this. Thank you Sam.
