Lets see, labor unions and the NEA who have been in the dems pockets forever love Huck. Do you think it is due to them turning right, or Huck being left?

Who first referred to Republicans as Shi’ites?
Who first campaigned for the surrendercrats?
The venom started by Huckabee when he turned his back on fellow Republicans in Arkansas.
91Veteran on January 12, 2008 at 10:11 PM
To be honest, I cannot explain it. I can guess, though. I can think of two reasons why they endorsed Thompson. 1. They really like Fred. 2. At the time of the endorsement, Huckabee didn’t seem to have a prayer at winning the nomination so they went with someone else. I suspect that reason number two is why the NRLC endorsed Thompson and not Huckabee, but to be honest these are just guesses of mine and there is no way of me knowing for sure.

Al-Ozarka on January 12, 2008 at 9:50 PM
The point here is that Huck’s “let’s give them the benefit of the doubt” approach to corrections extended to the obviously violent, with tragic consequences. In the Dumond case, for reasons that remain unclear, your boy intervened PERSONALLY. And here you are trying to pretend this is nothing to get worked up about.

I suspect a third reason which involves an anger on the part of some of the Republicans who ran against him in Arkansas — but I’m just guessing.
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I loved in the debate when Huck stated that why does he get all the religion questions. Well, why did he play the religion card in the first place when he tried to turn people on Romney and his Mormonism? Does Huck think that the POTUS is the keeper and defender of the faith? Does he think this is England? Huck will use religion any and every time he thinks he can play it to his advantage.
Fred!
RobertInAustin on January 12, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Perhaps it was his campaigning for surrendercrats over fellow Republicans in the same race.
91Veteran on January 12, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Name an issue — I’ll post his position. Otherwise go to his site and read all of his positions. Shouldn’t you have done that by now considering how you are reacting to him?
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Its called the vetting process. Every candidate does and should go through it but I guess the aspiring National Pastor is above that and should never be questioned.

It’s hard to find Arkansas polls but the one I did find had Huckabee in the lead by far.

Keep talking tough, you can’t be a viable political movement without us. We give you everything you could hope to accomplish in four to eight years through Fred’s policy, and you reject it for what’ll never ever happen, and what has no chance to succeed in the form of Mike Huckabee.
You can try and rationalize us away as the establishment and punditocracy, but you know its a lie, like 80% of what escapes the Hucktard’s mouth, you can’t win without us.
doubleplusundead on January 12, 2008 at 10:22 PM
A lot of people saying this. I’ve yet to hear it on even one single occasion. I’ve heard Huck talk about religion, but he is always answering a question — he never brings it up first.

Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Sorry for the delayed response. Huckabee has a liberal record as Governor, Romney on the other hand does not. Romney was once pro-choice but has changed in the right direction to being pro-life. I’ve changed my stance on issues before when I realized I was wrong. I don’t agree 100% with Romney. In fact I have more in common with Fred but the reason I’m supporting Romney is because of his record outside of government as a businessman. Fred’s a great guy but Romney can do more for the economy than anyone running.
CABE on January 12, 2008 at 10:24 PM

yo on January 12, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Brother, please stop guessing.
The clemencies were wrong. They superceded justice. Ask the families of the victims.
What I fear is that most of his pardons were because of a conversion experience while in prison. That is injustice. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc, etc, that convert to christianity deserve no less time in prison than non-christians. Huckabee seems to not think so by his actions. Those that agree with Huckabee on this have a twisted notion of scriptural justice and forgiveness.
shick on January 12, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Oh, really?
On “Meet the Press,” Tim Russert read Thompson the language of the Republican “pro-life” plank and asked Thompson to state his position on it.
Could you run as a candidate on that platform, promising a human life amendment banning all abortions?”
“No,” said Thompson.
“You would not?” said Russert.
“No,” said Thompson.
“Each state would make their own abortion laws?” Russert asked.
“Yeah,” said Thompson.
I’m not for allowing abortion at the state level. Sorry. Fred seems like a nice guy, but no go.
No. I don’t work for one of the presidential candidates. I am voicing my opinion because I love America and truly believe Mike Huckabee is best candidate for the Republican nomination. That’s it.
Bookmark this:
I look at America and am reminded originally schools like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, these were once Christian schools, funded by the government and families that could afford it. In fact, most of the colleges in the United States that started over 300 years ago were Bible-proclaiming schools originally. America was once a great Judeo-Christian nation. However, this started to change when the Darwiniacs (remember that fairytale for grownups, ie, evolution theory, began in 1859) started permeating Universities by the mid 1800s and began destroying America’s Godly teachers. Now look at our Universities – an infestation of liberal nut cases who favor America’s enemies over America itself! (ie, Iran’s president Ahmadinnerjacket’s invitation at Columbia University to speak – they clapped and cheered him on!!). I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Are these people nuts!
What you fail to understand is that the Judeo-Christian values that gave birth to YOUR Western Civilization are under attack externally by Islam and internally by secularism. Oddly, both the left and the Islamofascists function as two blades on a set of scissors, they are independent yet working together to shred the fabric of Western culture. So the longer you bash Christians and opt for a non-Christian President, the faster your nation is going to fall. America will fail because you don’t want God in your lives and He was the one protecting you all along.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
So go ahead and bash God-fearing Mike Huckabee, cause he may be the last chance America has to turn things around.
I’ll let the video take it from here:

Don’t you think it’s a bit insulting to the Iraqis that an American politician running for president is using the religion of the majority of their citizens as a pejorative?
baldilocks on January 12, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Yeah, its those “Darwiniacs”…and the fact that it was decided that not allowing Protestants to ram their version of the Bible down Catholic kids’ throats was unconstitutional.
You know what would fix this problem of whether to allow religion in schools? Vouchers. Who opposed vouchers and has NEA endorsement? Answer: Hucktard.
Lemme ask you, if you aren’t going to achieve the Human Life Amendment in four to eight, but you can possibly overturn Roe v. Wade and kick it back to the states in that time, what difference does it make if you support Fred or Huck on that issue?
The only difference is that Huck is a liberal on everything else but guns and religious issues and will destroy the conservative coalition.
doubleplusundead on January 12, 2008 at 10:35 PM
What, that surprises you from Mike, “Hey, no bridges came down in Arkansas” Huckabee?
doubleplusundead on January 12, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Brother, I am a christian that once thought like you. I have come to realize that trusting in men to fix my country was wrong. Sure our nation has degraded over the years but it’s not because it has backed away from christianity. It is because American christianity has backed away from Christ. Through the years it started changing the way it viewed God the sovereign, the depravity of man, how man is saved and how christians can spread the gospel. Most of American christianity is hollow and trusts in its own actions rather than a God that can work miracles within the hearts of men.
Electing the next christian in office will not solve our sinful problems. Only studying God’s word, prayer and lastly obedience.
shick on January 12, 2008 at 10:37 PM

You, sir, frighten me. I had no idea America had fallen so far. Your diagnosis is pretty near the mark, but your cure is completely off the mark.
I will stick with my Federalist candidate, thank you, because that is what this country needs.
I have this little document on my side. I have served in the military defending it, and will do so once again. And should the need arise again, I will be right there with my American brothers (and sisters) to defend it yet again.
We are not electing a preacher. We are electing a president. This country is at a cross-roads, and I am not going to give in easily to a smooth-talking Arkansas governor to lead us back to where this country should be. That has already been tried.
You frighten me. And if your guy wins, the GOP will be a thing of the past.
YOUR candidate divides. MY candidate unites. And I don’t think there’s a damn thing I can say to convince you otherwise.
wccawa on January 12, 2008 at 10:41 PM

Hell no, but if he’s a jackass wearing an elephant’s hide, the answer is a resounding yes.
doubleplusundead on January 12, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Amen.
I think what some of Huck supports suffer from is the idea that becasue he is a Christian, then that is all that is required. Just because one is a Christian that doesn’t make him the best for the job.
Here is a test..
If you needed a surgery and the only two men available, one was a Christian who didn’t have a very good track record, the other a pagan who is the best. Who would you pick to let operate on you?
As Luther put it, better a pagan surgeon than a Christian butcher.
Fred!
RobertInAustin on January 12, 2008 at 10:46 PM
If they succeed in establishing religion as a basic Republican Party tenet, they could do us in. When you say ‘radical right’ today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and Mike Huckabee [updated] and others who are trying to take the Republican Party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye.
Well, I’ve spent quite a number of years carrying the flag of the ‘Old Conservatism.’ And I can say with conviction that the religious issues of these groups have little or nothing to do with conservative or liberal politics. The uncompromising position of these groups is a divisive element that could tear apart the very spirit of our representative system, if they gain sufficient strength. Being a conservative in America traditionally has meant that one holds a deep, abiding respect for the Constitution. We conservatives believe sincerely in the integrity of the Constitution. We treasure the freedoms that document protects. By maintaining the separation of church and state, the United States has avoided the intolerance which has so divided the rest of the world with religious wars. Can any of us refute the wisdom of Madison and the other framers?
The religious factions will go on imposing their will on others, less the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy. They must learn to make their views known without trying to make their views the only alternatives. We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn’t stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic.

So you know the other candidates are not Christian then? or just not your brand?
Any chance on addressing his record on illegal immigration? clemencies? school choice? taxes? campaigning for surrendercrats?
91Veteran on January 12, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Not the best test. Here’s why: we (should) elect character, not skill. Nobody has a skill set that prepares for being the President. The best that you can hope for is someone who has the traits that you are looking for.

Agenda of the NEA
“The Association also believes that these factors should not affect the legal rights and obligations of the partners in a legally recognized domestic partnership, civil union, or marriage in regard to matters involving the other partner, such as medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, and immigration.” “Factors” refers to “race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, disability, ethnicity, immigration status, occupation, and religion.”
Other NEA resolutions promote the gay rights agenda in public school curricula by demanding funds to alleviate “sexual orientation discrimination,” to use multicultural education to reduce “homophobia,” and even to put “diversity-based curricula” and “bias-free screening devices in early childhood education.” Another resolution demands that schools hire “a diverse teaching staff.”
But the NEA certainly doesn’t believe in diversity when it comes to schools! The NEA is positively paranoid about any kind of competition, passing resolutions against voucher plans, tuition tax credits, parental option or choice plans, sectarian schools, for-profit schools, distance learning, and homeschooling.
The NEA beefed up its anti-homeschool resolutions this year by demanding that homeschooled students “meet all state curricular requirements,” and that they not be permitted to participate in any public school extra-curricular activities. The NEA even opposes renting or selling empty public school buildings to any non-public school.
NEA resolutions again endorse the principal goals of the feminist agenda, including abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, Comparable Worth, nonsexist language, and a federally funded women’s commission to pursue feminist goals at taxpayers’ expense. The NEA also supports “community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling,” which is a thinly veiled welcome to Planned Parenthood to put its clinics in the schools.
The NEA Women’s Caucus is taking on a battle to oppose the Bush Administration’s modest change in the enforcement of Title IX, which allows colleges to survey women about their interest in sports. The NEA feminists don’t want surveys because they know that surveys will confirm that fewer women are interested in playing competitive college sports than men, and the survey results would interfere with their ruthless abolition of hundreds of men’s athletic teams.
The NEA is determined to get control of children at the earliest possible age. One resolution calls for public school programs for children “from birth through age eight,” another calls for pre-kindergarten for “all three- and four-year-old children,” and still another demands “mandatory kindergarten with compulsory attendance.”
The anti-parent animus of the NEA is apparent in its insistence that the public schools be in the driver’s seat about the teaching of sex. Claiming that every child has the right to “freely available information and knowledge about sexuality,” the NEA demands the right to teach children about diversity of sexual orientation and gender identification, incest, and homophobia.
The NEA is a big supporter of every sort of globalism and international commitment. NEA resolutions endorse global education, multicultural education, the United Nations, the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, the globalist version of environmental education, and opposition to English as our official language.
Oh yeah, one last thing,
The NEA endorses Mick Huckabee, you know, the Christian guy.

RobertInAustin on January 12, 2008 at 10:58 PM
You don’t get it. I don’t care if Huck is Christian or not. He made that the issue here, not me.
I identify myself as a Christian, and that should’nt matter one iota. Heck, AP is an atheist, and that doesn’t matter to me whatsoever, either. If he posts crap, I’ll call him on it. Do you think I’d either lay on him harder or lay off because he is one thing or the other?
We could run down this list for the next twelve hours, and it would not make any difference at all. We’d all be exhausted and have gotten nowhere.
We’re electing a president. Grown ups should be present. The Constitution is our binding authority here, and America deserves nothing less.
Huck is simply a handjob in a box. He’ll do anything you want. Just don’t look at the wrapping paper, don’t ask any questions, and he’ll make you feel really good.
I am amazed that so few can not see this.

I have partial evidence. One report showed that some of the pardons involved conversions. Do you really want me to dig deeper? The real meat of my post you didn’t respond to. Do you think it’s okay to pardon people simply because they have a conversion experience? Does a ’so-called’ christian convert’s remorse mean anything more than a non-christians?

doubleplusundead on January 12, 2008 at 11:15 PM
It simply reaffirms my beliefs about Arkansas voters and Arkansas politics.
You people must have a filth pile in the middle of a state-owned field where, periodically, lifeforms crawl out. It’s the only logical explanation.
But don’t be discouraged! I also have equal disdain for Iowa voters (who should be smarter) and New Hampshire voters (who are far beyond any hope or mercy).
Huck = False Prophet.
Note: It will catch up with him. People are not as dumb as he assumes.
PS: Nice cherry-picking on the article, by the way. That’s the mark of a pro!

Good line from Luther I’ve read before. I can’t remember if he was suggesting the ‘Christian butcher’ was butchering theology though.
I’ll bookmark that for research later.

So it’s going too far if referring to Huckabee, but there is a candidate in which it is not too far?

What I find truly amazing is the fact that out Hucksters seem to have no problem with the fact that an organization that pushes an agenda that flies right in the face of their Christian beliefs supports their candidate.
The are Pro-Gay, Pro-evolution, Pro-abortion, Pro-feminist, Anti-homeschooling and the fact that they like your guy makes you no never mind.
I am starting to think that if planned parenthood came out and endorsed Mike Huckabee they wouldn’ have a problem with it.

What super-smart state are you in?

Care to try again? I said “his record”, not what his current populist positions might be.
91Veteran on January 12, 2008 at 11:22 PM
Yep — and you know who it is.
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 11:23 PM
It’s going too far for any of the candidates…except one.
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 11:24 PM
You’re just jealous because he has the Goof Zeppelin.

Enlighten us…what group is that. I’ll gladly listen.
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 11:25 PM
Listen to me,
You guy’s missing something fundamentally important here. In 1777, Congress voted to spend $300,000 to purchase Bibles which were to be distributed throughout the 13 colonies! And in 1782, the United States Congress declared, “The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.”
One of the more notable founding fathers Patrick Henry (1736-99) declared: “This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”
Why do you think America became great in the first place? You had men who feared the LORD in the White House and a nation who folowed biblical principles. YES, God blessed America!
But, look at us today. Ever since 1963 when prayer and Bible reading was taken out of the American school system this nation has steadily declined. Anybody remember that? Madalyn Murray O’Hair? Her son, by the way, became a preacher. His mom used him to get prayer taken out. But, since then crime, disease, divorce, pregnencies, have all risen… abortions too!! Some of you better recognize that you are losing America! You are losing your nations identity and with it a new dangerous one has arisen.
In 1787 Benjamin Franklin said, “I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs the affairs of men – and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings that “except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”
It’s time you wake up.
Ronald Reagan said in 1984, “America needs God more than God needs America. If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.”
I am going to offer my support for Mike Huckabee. He is much better compared to the others. He’s not as conservative on all of the issues I’d like, but right now a big thing with me is getting this nation back in good standing with the LORD. With the way this world is going and with our enemies all around us, the only one that can save us is GOD, but He won’t save you and me if we don’t want Him. Huckabee is the only candidate who has a chance at getting elected that on paper has positions Christians can support. That’s why I support him.
“I didn’t get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives… I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ.” Mike Huckabee 1998
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
Watch this it’s very important.

Your right. If only we had a blimp..maybe then you would understand.
Wise Golden on January 12, 2008 at 11:26 PM
They might be, since I responded and nothing has shown up. Again, let me try again. I said “his record” not whatever populist position he may be taking now.
91Veteran on January 12, 2008 at 11:27 PM
*yawn* You’ve shown me all these weakass talking points and videos before, you bore me, and I don’t like to be bored.
