I’m not doing your research. You are way overstating Huckabee’s political positions and tossing out exaggerations with the Christian label and I find it most offensive. I will proudly vote for Huckabee if Hunter doesn’t gain ground. Huckabee is singing the tune of a lot of voters. Thompson is a loser in the first primaries. He is way down in the polls. And he is just stooping to slander. Other than the politically obsessed, voters don’t like that much negativity. Enjoy the club you have joined. I won’t slander your Christianity just because I disagree with which Republican candidate you support.

Christian Democrats, pure and simple. Tax dollars for social justice.

You want to see their goal, got to Europe and look around. Take lots of money, you will need it for the fees alone.

This idiot and his band of socialist need to be stopped NOW.

The vote of a 19 year old counts just the same as a 99 year old.

Thompson is... just stooping to slander.
OK, you've made a serious charge, now substantiate it. Post a link to a slanderous statement by Fred Thompson.

“If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” (Luke 16;31)

Thank you.

I needed that.

It’s no wonder this verse is in the Bible:

Matt.7:14

[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I just HATE false doctrine and false preachers leadings others astray. Just HATE it. Righteous anger is also not a sin ... before I go to bed, I will let it go ... and place that burden in Christ’s hands.

There’s been a lot of over-reaction to Mike Huckabee’s rise. He ins’t my first choice, and I’d rather have someone else as the nominee (preferably Fred Thompson). But he isn’t THAT bad.

And...I will crawl to the polls and vote for him if necessary to keep Hillary out of the White House.

Thompson started it all by stopping his attendance of church...He’s already on the record in mid-’07 for saying he only attends church worship when he visits his mom. (IOW, he has no church home.) “

I didn’t know that. In any case, he’s a nice person even if he isn’t a Christian.

at least he regular worships the God of the Bible, unlike Fred.

So, are you saying that the only place that one can worship God is in a particular building called a church?

Fred isn’t slandering anyone.

He’s speaking the truth even if the BLIND, “religious left” doesn’t like

The young tend to be more susceptible to identity politics, and apparently young evangelicals are no exception. Much to their credit, Freeper evangelicals are resisting the Huckster's call.

It’s amazing that as much as tolerance is preached in this country, it never seems to spill over to Christians.

Considering Jesus said the "world will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another." There's no danger of Christian testimony flowing from FR.

The religious left are the religious people who are pro-abortion, pro-homosesxual pro-anything that offends our holy God.

No, that would be the secular left. The religious left are people who exploit religion in order to expand the nanny state and class warfare. That description fits Huckabee to the Tee.

Members of the religious left have varying positions on social questions like abortion and homosexuality. Some of them line up the the secular left on these issues, others do not.

I know FRed hasn’t slandered anyone. I just want Loose Lips to have to deal with posting lies. [Personally, I think said FReeper is about to cry with all of the ugly truth about her man scHmUCK.]

Damn fools should listen to those who've had the experience. Just like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Ho Chi Minh, Huck depends on those long on enthusiasm but short on brains.
