Too bad they didn’t have any extra stomach staples for his mouth.

That is sooo DARN FUNNY! If only….

When Arkansas Republicans fought against Huckabee and his pro tax policies, Mike took to calling his fellow conservatives “shiites.”
In 2001, when conservative Republican lawmakers opposed a higher sales taxes and fees the governor supporte…

WHY does it matter that Huck is a Christian? Is there something missing in the constitution that only a “Christian Leader” can provide for America? If so, what is missing? – csdeven

Heck, that’s an easy one. It’s because Mormons worship Satan as brother to Jesus of course. Haven’t you been paying attention to Huckabee’s speeches?

This is why Huckabee needs elected, because Mitt is a Devil-worshiper. But its not about religion… somehow.

I haven’t heard or read his theological views, but I doubt that he is even an evangelical (even if he is a Baptist). However, the term “evangelical” has been abused and bandied about that it is hard to define, so if he is or isn’t … heh.

The word “christian” has also been misused to point that it, too, is meaningless. Asking if someone is a “true christian” is pretty much an exercise in futility.

Because of the connotations surrounding the word “christian”, I prefer simply to call myself a follower of Jesus Christ. And a true follower at that.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by me. Pretty intolerant. But either He is right or He is wrong.

Please vote for the republican candidate that you like the least.

Wow, Huckabee hammered. But only about 500 votes.

But, God is definately more powerful. He gives satan dominion over the Earth — I don’t know why.

For His own glory to be revealed.

The crux of my point is simply this: If you were satan and you wanted to really mess things up, what would be a good way of doing that? Maybe causing devision within the Republican Party of the world’s only real super-power? That would be a great place to start.

Could be but division is not always bad. It can draw the line between differing viewpoints where one wasn’t before. In those cases it is a blessing.

Satan is the father of lies and never reveals himself with horns and a pitchfork.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. – 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

I like this quote from the deceased pastor Donald Barnhouse:

if Satan really were to take over a city, the following would happen: the bars would close, no alcohol would be sold; there would be happy marriages and well-behaved children, no crime-and everyone would be in churches on Sunday where Christ is not preached.

Christ as Lord and master and not simply my best friend.

Wrong again. How soon would atheist commenters here vote a minister into office if they knew he was a consistent Ronald Reagan Conservative? In a heart beat! (If they didn’t have an atheist Ronald Reagan conservative competing of course) :)

Guilty as charged. But the Shuckster is no conservative, he’s just a lying charlatan. That being said, if it comes down to him vs Clintobamination, I vote for the stinky preacher boy.

You sound like you want to get into a pissing contest. I decline. If you cannot admit you were wrong for not reading my comment closely enough, then I don’t see any reason to bother with you any longer.

Why are you still bothering with me then? I don’t want to fight with you, but your typing ugly things (in the basement of your mommys home — I suspect.) Everyone gets to have an opinion as long as its the same as yours, right? Otherwise, your just being bothered by small minds. You talk like Romney.

LOL but I don’t think it’ll change that much.

Yes, I’m saying that our guy is not getting a fair shake at the moment and that people are pigeon holing him into his status as a Minister and using that as reason to simply disqualify him.

The same goes with me and mormons. They have serious theological flaws (and that could influence their politics). I would be more inclined to vote for Romney if he were more conservative.

Touche. I now ask that you accept my apology for calling you a cave man.

Wise Golden on January 10, 2008 at 4:33 PM

Well said. After all my criticism, you deserve to be complimented when you are correct.

wayne dumond story is a non issue IMO.
HaraldHardrada on January 10, 2008 at 7:05 PM

I disagree. And not because the guy was released, but because WHY Huck pushed for his release. He completely cast out his obligation to the citizens of AK and used his status as a “Christian Leader” to decide the guy wasn’t a threat to anyone. He uses poor judgment and doesn’t do as the savior commanded. Huck has a constitutional obligation to govern as a secularist. He did not.

Mk 12:17

You’re a brave man! The last time I said anything positive about Huckabee I had three people call me a troll and request for me to be banned!

HaraldHardrada on January 10, 2008 at 7:12 PM

Are you saying it’s scary to be called a troll and have someone say you should be banned? Doesn’t take much for ya does it!

By the way, who wanted you banned?

Ignorant evangelicals. You really know how to sweet talk don’t you? Ignorant. Hmmm.

Another redefinition. Ignorant simply means that you do not know. It is not an insult.

Let me go over a list of your redefined words.

Conservatives can consistently raise taxes, be big government, slander others and appoint others that do the same.
Vulgarity is something that offends you.
Christians can be compelled to not spread the gospel.

You are confused about many things.

In 2004, President Bush won re-election, but [b]Huckabee campaigned for some Democrats – even some who had Republican opponents -and Republicans lost state legislative seats for the first time since 1990.

I have been discussing this with Sanders and so far he has only been able to give two races where Huckabee supported a Democrat running against a Republican for state office and neither one of them was in 2004 as his article states. According the Sanders, Huckabee supported Democrat Barry Magness who was defeated by Republican Shawn Womack in a 1998 state representative race. In addition, Huckabee supported Democrat Bobby Glover who defeated Republican Randy Minton in a 2002 state senate race. He also said that Huckabee supported Democrat Barbara Horn in a 2000 Democratic primary bid over fellow Democrat Dennis Young and because of this no Republican ran. He says that he has several calls in but has yet to produce a 2004 race where Huckabee supported Democrats over Republicans.

Let’s start with this 1998 race. Both candidates in this race now support Huckabee for President. State Sen. Shawn Womack, the Republican who Huckabee supposedly opposed, said in regards to Huckabee running for President, “I had the privilege of serving for eight years in the legislature during the Huckabee administration. Anyone who saw his leadership during the Hurricane Katrina relief effort had to be impressed by the way he was able to organize the resources of the state to provide relief and comfort to the tens of thousands of evacuees.” http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Newsroom.PressRelease&ID=344

Barry Womack, an Arkansas entrepreneur and President of Womack Oil Company, the Democrat who Huckabee supported is a contributor to Huckabee for President. Huckabee appointed him as a board member of the Arkansas Department of Corrections where he is now the Chairman.

Now let’s look at the other race from 2002. The Republican who Huckabee opposed is former state representative and former director of the Eagle Forum of Arkansas Randy Minton. Minton is a long time very outspoken Huckabee critic. You probably have seen his name, along with Betsy Hagan, in various places speaking out against Huckabee and how he is not a “true Republican.” http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Huckabee_Best_11.30

On the other hand, Sen. Bobby Glover, the Democrat who Huckabee supported, is a long time ally of Huckabee’s within the Arkansas Legislature. Glover and Huckabee often worked through compromise legislation across the party aisle to get important measures passed in a Democrat controlled legislature, particularly on educational reforms. Glover has been quoted various places including the New York Times, defending Huckabee’s Arkansas record. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/02/us/politics/02huckabee.html

Hopefully this put some perspective on Sanders claims. We will see if he is able to produce a race from 2004, but two occurrences of this in over a decade long period is pretty weak support so far.
