Huckabee: You know who probably shouldn’t be VP? Mitt Romney
posted at 3:45 pm on August 14, 2008 by Allahpundit
Quoth the Huck, “I’ve never said that I thought that Mitt Romney’s personal religion ought to have a thing to do with whether he should be elected.” Some might dispute that, coming as it does from a guy who pointedly touted himself as a “Christian leader,” but I gave him the benefit of the doubt on the infamous “Jesus and Satan” comment so you’ll have to go it alone. His concern about Romney, he says, is the fact that he’s a flip-flopper, a fair criticism but one which seems a tad exaggerated given his effusive praise later in the segment for pro-choice Tom Ridge. It sounds like he prefers the latter to the former, which, if true, would mean he’s more comfortable with a guy who overtly supports abortion than a guy who used to but has now (allegedly) seen the light. Strange.
Anyway. I love posting Huck clips just because he’s the one Republican our commenters are harder on than I am myself, but if you’re eager for an actual news hook, read Jonathan Martin’s report of the meeting between Team McCain’s social-con outreach director and Huck’s supporters in Michigan. The race for 2012 is already on. Exit quotation: “Privately, though, Romney’s loyalists continue to loathe Huckabee at levels that approach the earlier disdain between Obama and Clinton camps.”

Citizen: “Mr Huckabee, you’re not like other politician”
Huck: “They’re usually pretty stiff huh?”

Bingo. I was thinking something along these lines earlier. There seem to be a good 1-2% of the electorate that is socially conservative but is either liberal or apathetic on every other issue. I don’t mind them voting Republican every time, but they’re also the reason our pols go out there and yap yap yap about dude on dude butt sex (no, I’m not 9) instead of actual issues that matter. Maybe they should just go in the corner and form their own little splinter party. I consider myself fairly socially conservative (I’m not against gay marriage, but I am fervently pro-life, a combo that I don’t see much of), but these people take it way too far. And when they get their way they end up pushing people that are social conservatives but act like Dems on everything else (see Huckabee’s class warfare in the primaries) on Republican voters. Ugh. I’m about to throw up just thinking about them.

“Privately, though, Romney’s loyalists continue to loathe Huckabee at levels that approach the earlier disdain between Obama and Clinton camps.”
Why wouldn’t someone loathe religious bigotry? On the GOP side Huckabee was the only candidate that practiced religious bigotry and played indentity politics.
Plus not sure why they are using the past tense for the distain between Obama and Clinton.

Not really…just certain changes HAVE to be made or this country willl go down the tubes.
A. Abortion needs to be outlawed immediately
B. Gay marriage needs to be permanently stopped in order to prevent the eventual criminalization of the Bible and Christianity(i.e. quoting from Bible = hate crime).
C. The religion of secular humanism and the unscientific religion of evolutionism needs to stop being force fed to our children as fact
That’s about it.
How is that a theocracy?
The only theocracy in the USA is the fact that our official state religion is the religion of evolutionism/secular humanism and that is unconstitutional!

If I could add my 2 cents…..Huck is worthless right now. So is Mitt, but not to the same extent. Mitt will get a cushy cabinet post. Huck will have a TV show.
McCain/Crist….onward!
JetBoy on August 14, 2008 at 4:47 PM
This is a little interesting. So if education was privatized, gay marriage was left completely to the states and your state outlawed it (which is the current case unless you live in one of like 3 states), and we started enforcing the laws on the books concerning murder when babies are the victims (something I’m totally cool with), you would be content and go back to your corner. And take Huck with you? Really, you would? Yay! We have a deal. We’ll do all those things and you go back to your corner…with your buddy Huck and all his crappy populist/semi-socialist ideas. Cool.

The bible, and Christianity, are “criminalized” by gay marriage? So, the state should arrest on charges of Biblical and Christian grounds?

JetBoy on August 14, 2008 at 4:56 PM
It’s not very hard to understand if you think about it..your position on this issue is simply flawed.
If they legalize gay marriage(like Canada)…the next thing that will happen is they will fine or imprison Ministers (who quote from the Bible) for HATE SPEECH (like Canada).
It will effectively criminalize Christianity (though they may allow a watered down, unBiblical version of it to exist)

That alone won’t solve our problems. I am MORE interested in what we can do to get people to use birth control and what we can do to make certain that unwanted children are given up to decent parents.
I’ve got no problem with civil unions. Civil unions are ALL about money, and nothing about God. I attach very little significance to the piece of paper that the state issues that says that I am married. In my view, God alone and ONLY God can marry a man and a woman. I share your concern that our free speech and freedom of religion is threatened – but the threat looms on way more fronts than just the one posed by the interests of the Gay community.
Which is why I sent my boys to private Christian school (a school created and administered by the Assembly of God church — even though I am not Pentacostal myself, it may interest you to know). What I want is school vouchers, so that I can recover my tax dollars that are being spent on public schools. Even if the public schools renounced secular humanism and Darwinism tomorrow, I STILL would not send my children there.

And guess what? It’s not a two-man race. Either Huck’s got a man-crush, or he’s still convinced talking down Romney actually improves his chances.
Sekhmet on August 14, 2008 at 5:02 PM
You know, I dislike Huck and his Huckabites as much as the next guy (I’m sure most who post here regularly will have noticed that!) but I do agree that there is an element of the gay marriage movement to persecute those who aren’t enthusiastically for them.
See, Pastor Boisson in Canada, and the Boy Scouts in Philadelphia. It’s pretty plain to see that the Bible (and most other books of scripture, for that matter) don’t condone homosexuality. Thus, they are easily recategorized into “hate speech” by the Human Rights people.
It’s not a real big concern yet, but that’s something to foresee unless the militant PC and other liberal concerns are defeated.
Vanceone on August 14, 2008 at 5:03 PM
I don’t think StOlaf was saying that it should be criminalized because the Bible says so. I believe they were saying that if gay marriage is legalized it will lead to infringements on freedom of religion and expression – hence, “quoting from Bible = hate crime”.
It’s a slipper slope argument, but it’s also one that you can see evidence of in other countries. I believe there was a case in Canada where a preacher was charged with a hate crime for handing out a pamphlet that contained Bible verses that were considered ‘anti-gay’.
On the other hand, I don’t think it has as much to do with legalization of gay marriage as it has to do with the prevailing liberal orthodoxy of “live and let live….unless you disagree with me in which case you should shut up or go to jail”.
JadeNYU on August 14, 2008 at 5:04 PM
How can you possibly say that? The King James version is beautiful, poetic, gracious and graceful, peaceful.
I suppose you read the 2008 modern version for illiterates?
BigD on August 14, 2008 at 5:06 PM
As for Huck himself, there’s only one word anymore: pathetic.
It’s just a shame to see a man who won a primary reduce himself to such a laughingstock where his insecurities and hatred are on display. Throwing a hissy fit over any Romney workers now working for McCain? Are any old Huck workers also on board the McCain, the Republican nominee, campaign? If not, why not? Does he have Red Pill as his campaign manager and the “God will have Huck as president” prophecy as his motto?
Seriously, does anyone know if any Huck workers are now working for McCain, or did he just hide his campaign for later?
Vanceone on August 14, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I’m a King James-er myself, but, I if I recall correctly, when the King James translators had to make a decision between poetry and accuracy, they’d err on the side of poetry. Some (though certainly not all) of the modern translations stay more true to the original intent of the documents they were translating. Though, I haven’t seen any huge doctrinal differences between one translation and another.
JadeNYU on August 14, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I’ll do this first, before I get to ya, JadeNYU…
I read the New International Version myself…although there are a few others acceptable to Catholics. The King James isn’t one of ‘em. Read about the history of the KJV…
JetBoy on August 14, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Let me recommend the King James version and some John MacArthur CDs, or MP3s or whatever.
BigD on August 14, 2008 at 5:14 PM
Oh, St. Olaf certainly was saying that gay anything should be criminalized…because the Bible says it (according to St. Olaf).
The only “infringement” is to DENY two people marriage. If Joe and Steve get married, how does that infringe on anyone else?
As for some preacher handing out anti-gay lit, I say let him. He’s free to do so. As long as he’s not inciting violence towards gays. He has a right to opinion.

As a kid, my grandparents had a beautiful, old, god-leather bound Bible from the early 1800s. King James version, but it also included what you call the Apocrypha…books included in Catholic Bibles. My Grandfather was Methodist, but converted so he could marry my grandmother in a Catholic church. Catholics are picky that way.
It’s not just that the KJV is written like something out of Shakespeare or something, it’s simply riddled with errors from the original manucript translation. That’s well known.
The NIV or the RSV are the most accurate.
JetBoy on August 14, 2008 at 5:20 PM
Dude, get a grip…I never said anything like that.
I am opposed to theocracy and clearly outlined that.
Unfortunately we live in a theocracy now. (secular humanist theocracy)
Gay marriage needs to be outlawed permanently because if it is legalized..Christianity will be considered hate speech and the Bible will be censored or outlawed.

Where do you come off with such a dismissive attitude about a great Bible translation? The King James is full of error. If you like the style, the New King James is a great translation as it fixes the problems of the former.
God is love but He’s also a God of justice. The same God who wiped out the entire world with water is going to return at the 2nd coming. Then about half of the world will be killed in His judgments as described in the Revelation. God doesn’t change.
Mojave Mark on August 14, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Are you insane? Gays want to get married in church many of them. I think you’re delusional as to how many Christian gays there really are. They don’t hate Christianity.
Hey, some do…and sometimes, “Christians” yelling “you’re going to hell, sinners!” doesn’t really help.
Either way, I’m gay…and I’m in Mass every Sunday.

Sorry. While I accept Catholics as my brethren, I could NEVER be Catholic myself. The TRUE church is not an earthly building, organization, order, or hierarchy. Only God Himself can put a human in the church – and only God can take someone out of the church.
The reason that Christians are so divided is that they can not distinguish between what comes from God and what comes from man. (Sort of like most secular Americans can no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy.) Most churches, Protestant AND Catholic teach their parishioners to be loyal to the church hierarchy (and to their doctrine) — instead of teaching them to be loyal to God. I will NEVER accept this approach to the Christian faith.

Many of us Christians are concerned about a Huckabee candidacy because he often confuses the role and duties of the individual Christian with those of government, which God ordains to be in a different sphere or different kingdom.
We evangelical Christians find a Huckabee candidacy very troubling .

As a Romney loyalist, I’m tired of Huck, really. I mean, really. The constant whining and crying about flip flop this and phoney that is old.

Corrupt Huck
In Arkansas, Mr. Huckabee was investigated by the state ethics committee at least 14 times. Most of the complaints centered on what appears to be a serial disregard for government rules about gifts and outside financial compensation. He reported $112,000 worth of gifts in one year alone, nearly double his $67,000 salary.
Five of the 14 investigations resulted in admonishments: Two for failing to report gifts (one was later overturned), the other three for some $80,000 that Mr. Huckabee and his wife received but failed to initially report. One of these admonishments involved a $23,500 payment to Mr. Huckabee from an opaque organization called Action America that he helped found in 1994 while lieutenant governor, and that was designed to coordinate his speeches and supplement his income.
Mr. Huckabee caused an uproar when he used a $60,000 account intended to maintain the governor’s mansion for personal expenses, including restaurant meals, dry cleaning and boat supplies. He also faced a lawsuit over his assertion that $70,000 worth of furniture donated to the mansion was his to keep. Sprinkled among all this are complaints about the misuse of state planes and campaign funds, mistakes on financial disclosure forms, and fights over documents related to ethics investigations.
Any one of these episodes individually may appear penny ante, but they add up to a disturbing pattern. People I’ve spoken with who worked with Mr. Huckabee in Arkansas dispute the idea that he is “corrupt.” They instead ascribe his ethical mishaps to a “blind spot” rooted in his beginnings as a Baptist minister and a Southern culture of gift-giving; they suggest he never made the mental transition to public office.
Some will also argue Mr. Huckabee is no more ethically challenged than Mr. Giuliani, who is getting pounded with questions about Judith Nathan’s security detail and Giuliani Partner clients. The difference is that Hizzoner is a celebrity whose past bones were long ago picked clean by the media crows. Even the Nathan flap is an extension of news that made the rounds five years ago.
The obscure governor from Arkansas is, in contrast, a deep sea for media diving. Most recent have been stories about his pardons and commutations, as well as the news that R.J. Reynolds contributed to Action America. Mr. Huckabee–who now wants a national smoking ban in public places–responded that he never knew he accepted tobacco money, which has inspired a former adviser to claim Mr. Huckabee is being “less than truthful.” What’s next?

If it weren’t for huckleberry we would have an intelligent, articulate, good looking candidate that would be beating the tar out of the false messiah, oh did I forget young, good looking. Mitt
Instead we’ve got McCain! Huckleberry sounds like hes’ runnin for vice pres. yuk!

Huck just needs to go away. *
*No, I’m not an atheist, I’m a pro-life, gun owning, politically conservative Christian.

Any thread about Huck inevitably becomes a religious thread. And not a nice one, either.
THIS is the prime reason McCain would never consider Huck for Veep.
Once again….McCain/Crist 08

Which is a shame. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Huckabee that have nothing to do with religion.

Sulla’s right. There’s plenty to disagree with about Huck without resorting to religion. But since I’m one of those “Satanic” Mormons he’s willing to elect Obama to prevent one of “them” getting into office for, I’ll reserve the right to dislike him on those grounds too.
I still think he’ll make a comeback trying to outdo Jim Bakker in the phony televangelist department. It seems like a likely career path for the Huckster. And that’s a great name for it, to–Hucksterism.

Huck is the schmuck that Duncan Hunter endorsed. Go figure.
If anyone has a problem with Mormonism, they might want to look at Huckleberry Hound’s past as a slick, holy roller. Heck, just watch him: pure sleaze. I’d go with Mitt any day, (but McCain won’t). I can guarantee that he won’t be dragging his religion into the office of VP. Huck sure would.

I agree, but I’m still ticked off at how he used my faith as a political hammer and makes it so easy for others to label him a theocrat. People use that enough against Bush and Huck only makes it infinitely easier and also harder to shake off. Romney wasn’t my first pick but I hate that some rejected him over his religion. He has a history of NOT insituting Mormon religious practices as an elected official.

Huckster wringing out his 15 minutes.

You probably would get more support for your ideas if you spent less time “exposing” Mormonism and more time promoting your positions. Anyone who has talked to a Mormon knows we aren’t hiding anything and your presumption that you need to fill people in is condescending.
I think you have some great ideas that I agree with but to quote Wilde “Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you are saying.”

There are usually plenty of evangelicals lined up protesting our semi-annual conference meetings yelling “You’re going to hell!” Nice folks for the most part but I’m guessing there is something about us they don’t like.
