Most people wrote him off because of his name. This is getting good. As far as I can tell we don’t have a conservative in the race. Fred is the closest thing. So if its a choice between Mike and Hillary I’ll vote Mike. I would rather FRED catch on but between Mike and Rudy. Mike at least gives gun owners a fighting chance. MCain and mike….hmmm two liberals tough call but again Mike gets the nod due to the immigration issue. Mike might be for immigration but MCCain IS for it. Mitt and Mike….very tough call. I’ll go for Mitt I think due to his knowledge of economics. So Fred, Mitt, Mike, McCain then Rudy would be my choices.

OUCH!

“Huckabee’s role in this year’s ’70s Show is not merely to attempt to revise a few Republican beliefs. He represents wholesale repudiation of what came after the 1970s — Reaganism.”

Yup. Another Huckabee post. When will I stop writing about him? When he stops doing and saying things that irritate me. So…it’s bound to be a Huckapalooza round these parts for awhile. In the (at present inaccessible) comments of my……

Huckabee is beginning to remind me of Hitler.

Everyone says dumb things. This is supremely dumb and unhelpful. Huckabee’s “faults” are political in nature, not personal or venal.

I knew Huck was a Christian, but I didn’t know he was a martyr.

This is the brand of ‘Christianity’ that is most irresponsible. Many of the Christian leaders in the country that wield power have character flaws which turns them into egotistical hypocrites. Blind faith is a dangerous substitute for exercising ones God given free will in the voting booth!

Apologies are for the politically-correct, cattle – who seem to enjoy making others kowtow to their own beliefs.

That sounds like The High Reverend Huckster all right.

Since his “religious beliefs” include such vile attacks on others as:

Huckabee heaped criticism upon immigration legislation in the Arkansas Legislature, describing it as “inflammatory . . . race-baiting and demagoguery.” He also challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.
Huckabee said the bill, seeking to forbid public assistance and voting rights to undocumented immigrants, “inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there’s a real problem. But there’s not.”

and

He singled out Holt, who often talks of his strong Christian beliefs, saying, “I drink a different kind of Jesus juice. My faith says don’t make false accusations against somebody.

and

Gov. Mike Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.”

and

Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the Devil are brothers?

just to site a few

then he most certainly does need to apologize and/or try to defend himself.

Don’t vote for him – like I said. Apologies are for the politically-correct, cattle – who seem to enjoy making others kowtow to their own beliefs.

No man should have to apologize for, or defend, himself, because of his religious beliefs. Even if he’s running for political office.

No one’s prodding him to apologize for or defend his religious beliefs- he himself made his religion a centerpiece of his campaign and uses his religion to deflect criticisms of his record.

If you don’t want to vote for him, because of his religious beliefs, don’t vote for him. If you don’t want to vote for him, because of his political beliefs, don’t vote for him. If you want to vote for him, for either, or all, of the above reasons, then vote for him.

Unless something has happened, recently, the whole point of voting – is to vote your conscience.

Screw ‘em all.
