And now HotAir is doing the same thing (but in the negative sense) with Huckabee. We get it. You don’t like him. Most of us don’t either. Let it drop.

Or should Huck be allowed to have it both ways? Should he be open to mention his Christianity prominently as a qualification, make harmful quips about the Christianity of others, and then get a free pass? Come on.

Interesting analysis from Allah’s link to Byron York.

One problem some voters in Iowa have had with Mitt Romney, until recently the front-runner here, is that the former Massachusetts governor seems quite visibly to want the prize too badly and is too willing to do whatever it takes to win it. Voters have a way of denying things to candidates like that. Thompson, on the other hand, is the anti-Mitt. He wants to win, but not at any cost. There’s a lot of appeal in that, but in the end it may turn out that Iowans want their candidates to do the stuff that Thompson won’t do; they might be in no mood to elect an anti-candidate candidate. That’s the gamble Thompson has taken by being himself.

Is this a calculated strategy of Fred’s campaign – to act nonchalant and not too hungry, or is just that he isn’t willing to do the hard work?

I loved what he did at the debate yesterday, but it’s as if he won’t raise his hand or shake hands. I don’t see how he’s going to make much headway like that.

And while I’m not in Iowa, I respect Mitt for his hard work and don’t begrudge him that at all.

It’s like all credulity goes out the window

Doh! I meant, INcredulity.

I guess I can sort of see why though – when your record as a governor is pro-tax, pro-leniency for criminals, pro-illegal immigrant (while invoking your faith and calling others ‘racist’ and ‘nativist’ for opposing illegal immigration), you’ve got to play the only card in your hand.

Amen, and preach it! ;-) It drives me nuts that men like Justin Taylor (who is part of John Piper’s Desiring God ministry) have endorsed this guy. It’s like all credulity goes out the window the minute someone says, “I’m a Christian!” Huck is, doubtless, a Christian. But would they tolerate promises to redistribute American income to Mexican, Guatemalan, and other nation’s lawbreaking families if he were an atheist? Would they tolerate Huck being soft on crime if he didn’t keep reminding them, “But look, I’m a Christian – I mean well, so it’s okay!” Would they tolerate this dangerous foreign policy naivety from anyone else? Hell, no!

WHAT ABOUT THE ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO BORDER SECURITY, SAVING SOCIAL SECURITY, DEFENDING OUR NATION!!!!!

These clowns think only Christians matter and which bozo’s closer to Jesus then the other bozo!

I swear, ff anyone declares he’s an atheist I’m voting for the SOB.

NEWT!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
