For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
Revelation 22:18 (New King James Version)

While the Mormons/LDS believe that in addition to the Old Testament and New Testament, a 3rd Testament was given to Joseph Smith:

Book of Mormon
ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST

Normally Mormons/LDS and Evangelical Christians vote very similarly. In this race, however, the presence of Mitt Romney meant that a very high percentage of Mormons/LDS were going to vote for Mitt and dislike anyone who stood in his way to the Presidency. It also didn’t help that Huckabee asked publicly, “Don’t Mormons believe that Satan and Jesus were brothers?” While it is true that Mormons believe that Lucifer and Jesus were brothers, it is more important to focus on what we have in common than our differences. I am on record saying that I would trust Mitt Romney with the Presidency more than I would trust John McCain. I may have faith differences with Romney, but at least he hasn’t shown the socialist tendencies that John McCain has.

I still believe that, by a miracle, Huckabee will be the Republican nominee. I hope that Mormons/LDS will be able to vote for Huckabee over Obama in the general election.

Hey! Come to think of it, why do we never see your posts when we see Harald Hardrada or alpacalips or huckfan. (sorry, can’t remember the exact mis-spelling of apocalypse being used.)

I know Harald Hardrada was finally banned. Are the others still shilling?

Oh, Apacalyps is alive and well talking with me in a dead thread about theology. You’re free to drop by and lurk only as I work… ;)

ITookTheRedPill on February 11, 2008 at 12:29 AM

If Huck gets the nominee, I would say a lot of voters have taken your red pill and they are in LaLa Land. I’m not for McCain, and I really don’t like what I see in Huckabee. (There is no true conservative left in the race.) A Huckabee nomination will likely results in Utah actually voting and giving their Electrical college votes to a democratic. History in the making.

I hope this isn’t some nuanced suggestion that I be banned, too. If so, it’s nice to see that you support free speech for those whose opinions differ from yours. /sarc.

Say “Yes!” to Huckabee/Thompson (or Huckabee/Steele)

(Huckabee/Romney could work politically, but their religious differences probably prevent either one of them from wanting to share a ticket)

I am not Harald Hardrada or alpacalips or huckfan. I have posted with this one and only id since 9/25/2006.

I am not working for the Huckabee campaign, but I did decide this weekend to donate to his campaign for the first time, after he won Kansas and LA.

My first choice was Thompson. I could have supported Romney if he were the clear front-runner. The problem is, in a three-way race, Romney and Huckabee split the Mormons and the evangelicals (who otherwise vote very similarly), leaving McCain as the front-runner. In a three-man race, McCain wins. In a two-man race, McCain loses. So either Huck or Romney needed to go in order to have any chance of having a nominee other than McCain. Romney bowed out first. That’s when I took a more serious look at Huckabee. I like what I see. Huckabee has committed to the conservative principles I care most about. Huck is in it for the long haul. Huck will win a majority of the remaining states. It will go to a brokered convention, and Huck will be the nominee. You don’t have to believe me now. With every state Huck wins you will believe it more. When it happens, will you take back the nasty comments?

Either you’re working for the Huckabee campaign, or you’re the biggest fan I’ve ever seen.

If we get a Democrat as President… suddenly the Republicans in Congress will know to fight against the liberal judge nominees, and the amnesty plans, and socialism…

dominigan on February 10, 2008 at 1:23 PM

The republican congress etc. rarely filibusters, block judges, etc. That is what democrats do. Democrats call fowl when we republican president fires a few Democrat judges, but no complaint at all when Clinton fires all the judges, most of them appointed by Reagan and Bush. Don’t hold your breath when republican congress people go in the fetal position when the MSM attacks them for not going along.

If you have a lot of extra red pills, can the rest of us get one so we can join you in LaLa Land.

ITookTheRedPill on February 10, 2008 at 8:30 PM

What a candidate pledges and what he does are 2 different things. I’ve tried to point this out to you on several occasions. I assume you are not interested in a serious debate about Huckabee,s stated positions and those with witch he governed. It will take more to convince me, and many others, to support Huckabee then just posting links to his numerous pledges.

Cold Steel on February 10, 2008 at 5:55 PM

Cold Steel (does that describe your heart?),
Write down the top 5 issues that are most important to you in selecting our next president. Then compare what you want to Huckabee’s stated positions.
Winning the War vs. Islamofascists?
Securing our borders?
Judges?
Taxes/Economy?
Sanctity of Life?
2nd Amendment Rights?
Etc., etc.
If Huck’s positions, repeatedly stated and committed to in writing, match what you are looking for, and you choose to vote for another candidate who’s words and actions aren’t what you are looking for, I think that’s the definition of a fool. Challenge your assumptions and preconceived notions about Huckabee. He’s not looking to be McCain’s VP. He’s looking to win and take this country in the right direction.

Keep enjoying the moment in the sun. Huckabee represents a small fraction of the party. He will not get the mandate he needs to win the White House. Someone with his ethics and pandering doesn’t have the juice to call down any miracles. It takes more than talking about the Good Book. You actually have to apply it for it to work.

Ensure that the border fence construction is completed by July 1, 2010.

We are on the verge of victory, folks. Don’t be like the Defeatocrats who try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Huck will appoint more like the 4 we like.

ITookTheRedPill on February 10, 2008 at 3:57 PM

Huckabee’s stated position on Judges.

Today Bush called McCain a true conservative. Isn’t this like a dark-gray pot calling a dark-gray kettle white?

Igor R. on February 10, 2008 at 3:34 PM

I love it. Bush’s comment was meant to help McCain, but it will help Huckabee more.

Igor R. on February 10, 2008 at 3:34 PM

Just curious – did you vote for Bush?

Huck is a novelty act, a plaything for Colbert and the entertainment media.

Cold Steel on February 10, 2008 at 9:38 AM

Yesterday proves Huck is no novelty act. The reason Huck has been on Colbert, etc. is to get Dems to like him without watering down what he stands for. (Unlike McCain, who will give any concession to get Dems to like him). Even though I’ve predicted Obama/Edwards on the Democrat side, I’d actually prefer to see Hillary at the top of their ticket. She is as disliked by many Democrats as McCain is by many Republicans. Give it some time and Huck will unite conservatives in a way that McCain hasn’t and can’t, and Huck will even draw some Democrats to his side (more if it’s Hillary, less if it’s Obama). Watch and see. I seem to be one of the few posters here is who is upbeat, positive, and enjoying this contest. Many are defeatist. The funny thing is, you get to choose. Choose wisely. Vote for Huck if for no other reason than 5 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices are 68 years old or older. Huck will appoint more like the 4 we like. No other candidate will. With McCain or a Democrat, you will get more Souters and Ginsbergs. And you would regret that for the rest of your life.

Huck will win this David vs. Goliath battle.

infidel4life on February 10, 2008 at 2:18 PM

Perhaps you should take the red pill and leave the Matrix.

There are many principled people that don’t vote out of fear.

And that is what you think it it to vote for the most experienced, most conservative candidate available….fear?
I think the problem here is that you equate pragmatism and strategic voting with fear and lack of principles. I would venture that most conservatives who will vote for McCain are as principled and patriotic as you are. We simply recognize that there are often forced choices in life, and when the outcome is as important as who will appoint the next 2-3 Supreme Court Justices, determine whether or not the government takes over the health care system, or who will be the Commander in Chief during war…well, you’d better make the best possible choice, AMONG THE AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVES.

I understand that your position is that, if the forced choice is among poor alternatives, it is acceptable, even desirable, to abdicate. And, further, you have faith that by
abdicating, you will punish only the people who brought about the forced choice in the first place, and that will bring about better choice in the future. Faith alone does not mean that it will happen….and there is an equal possibility that the perfect choice will never present itself.

What I fail to understand is this: Why was the RINO Bush ok, but the RINO McCain is not?

It’s amazing how much demonizing is going on when it comes to who a person votes for. The democrats accuse me of voting for killing gays, starving people, kicking old people out of their homes, etc. etc. Now the RNC/McCain/his new buddies on this and other threads accuse me of killing soldiers, hating Mexicans, hating blue collar workers, etc. etc. There are many principled people that don’t vote out of fear. There are many principled people who vote “FOR” someone and not “AGAINST” someone. Funky and others: don’t project the insecurity of your choice on my right to vote. This blind pseudo-patriotism for the RNC is misplaced, illogical, and without warrant. At best it is co-dependency. Don’t think I can’t look in the mirror. A punched, scared, and battered electorate is the group with the self-esteem issues.

Cold Steel on February 10, 2008 at 1:32 PM

Well said. Worth seeing again. As a vet with service in 5 military adventures since 1986 (and still counting) I get very angry when the McLunatics accuse me of hating and punishing the troops. They need to pull their heads out of their asses and recognize that MANY of us have looked at McCain and decided there is no way we will vote for the man because his prior ACTIONS in the political arena.!
