“With illegal immigration being such a huge issue, I am stunned that the two open border, amnesty promoters are the two top contenders at the moment!
I guess the ENEMEDIA can take the credit for that.”

Exactly. Here’s an example of how biased the media is. I get only CBS news so I’m forced to watch it. They haven’t mentioned Duncan Hunter’s name as a candidate in months. One of the few times they’ve mentioned Thompson since he entered the race, they showed a big photo of Huck, McCain, Rudy, Romney and a split screen with Fred and Ron Paul. That is such a powerful visual and influences the masses in marginalizing the ‘smaller’ two.

” Click HERE to find out how freeper’s felt about Mike Huckabee’s record when he was actually IN office. “

Too bad he’s made all the boneheaded moves he has since that time. We’re not supposed to be electing a preacher or a wanna be rock star. You won’t find any glowing posts from me about Huck.

My condolences to you on only getting CBS.

WARNING...you may want to skip TV news all together!

Yep...I heard what Rush said.
I guess I should take his advice.

I, too, am shocked that the top two candidates are for open borders and amnesty.
But, then...I’m a Shiite Republican. ;o)

A number of crits vs. Huck are legit...the problem with most FReepers who dislike Huck is they rarely cite them!!!

Nonsense. Most here who dislike Huckabee have been very specific as to why. Repeatedly.

2. Huckabee was called of Christ to preach the gospel as a minister of the word. He forsook this office to become a politician. “Luke 9:62 “ And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his had to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

So what? (You've consigned Huckabee to hell?)

Jesus words are to be taken seriously. He is after all the one who will judge the issue you mention, not me.

My point is that he does not meet the standard of a sound committed evangelical, which standard is important to one who takes the bible seriously. He is portrayed as a great evangelical. In many ways, of which the text I pointed out is one, he fails to meet the biblical test. You disagree with that, fine. it is ultimately the Lord's to judge.

But the argument from his Christianity as a reason to vote for him, and he not just the media makes it an element of his campaign, makes it also both a political issue and a matter which one may question.
