You can raise my taxes, open the borders, and give away my money to illegal immigrants and the "working poor" all you wan't. WITH ROE v. WADE STILL ON THE BOOKS, THESE ISSUES DON'T MATTER! /sarc.

If Huckabee is the nominee, it will be President Hillary. It would be a general election slaughter.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Twilight Zone. The religious right has gone mad!!!!

[HAL9000]

I was expecting this endorsement. Mike Huckabee got his start in politics as the leader of Moral Majority in Arkansas.

[gondramB]

Huckabee is likable. And its looking like he is going to win Iowa. If he weakens Guiliani, that’s good. As long as he doesn’t actually get nominated.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The two easiest way for frauds to get power is through religion or politics!
Doing both should throw up a huge red flag.

[goldstategop]

Evangelical Christians are getting behind Mike Huckabee. The truth is they are base of the Republican Party. A lot of people don't like em but no GOP presidential nominee can win next November without them.

[Ol' Sparky]

If your primary concerns are social issues, there isn't anything principled about this endorsement. It's no different than those support Giuliani because they believe terrorism is the issue that takes priority over all others.

[spectre]

"Huckabee wants to put those fears to rest, saying he has shown time and again he is a candidate for every man."

Yup..and he's never met an illegal he didn't like.

I can't believe this guy is being taken seriously as a future president..Have we lost our friggin minds?!!!

[BlueNgold]

Hasn’t this country had enough of the Arkansas political machine?

[Red Badger]

I’m still holding out for the Jimmy Swaggert endorsement........

[lone star annie]

AMEN could not have said it better myself. It has become obvious to me that this issue is all the matters to some of the one issue voters.

[eleni121]

Take a chill pill...this is the primary season..not elections yet.

Huckabee could slaughter the Hildebeast...

[apocalypto]

A gathering of clowns. Senator Hillary must be laughing her head off.

[ModelBreaker]

I'm a small-government, Evangelical Christian Conservative. What this demonstrates is that the schism in the R's is worse than I thought. Giuliani is unacceptable to one part of the coalition on a bunch of issues. Huckabee to another. And they are the two leading candidates. Both have an implicit message, "The other part of the coalition may jump in a lake." And the other part will.

The candidates that address the requirements of both sides of the coalition are Romney (after changes of heart), Thompson (after change of heart on CFR) and Hunter (never had to change his heart). And they are all running behind. Yuck.

Falwell should know better. Huckabee will tear the coalition apart just as surely as will Giuliani.

You can raise my taxes, open the borders, and give away my money to illegal immigrants and the "working poor....."

One would think the GOP would've had their fill of "compassionate conservatism" by now and would be ready again for the limited gov't variety.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

any bible believing person will see that Hunter is the closest match.

we are in such a crucial time in history, it's no wonder that were seeing the world turn more liberal!

[longtermmemmory]

Falwell Family endorses Twinkie Nazi (play on soup nazi)

[bert]

These folks seem to be like the MLK family..... ride the wave as long as you can

[JSDude1]

That’s great! I went to Liberty University, and I am leaning Huckabee (he’s far less inconsistent that the other so called ‘frontrunners’)..

[MayflowerMadam]

Great sarcasm! Agreed.

Closing the borders is critical — beyond critical at this point — and Huckabee is for opening them wider. I’m a Baptist, as he is, and would not vote for him because he isn’t concerned for America’s security.

Abortion can’t be the sole issue for GOP platform. Murder via abortion is a horrible, horrible thing, and we donate tons of money to counter that. Still, for abortion to end, people’s hearts must be changed and you can’t legislate that. You CAN, however, legislate border security.

I think that the murder of Americans by Muslim fanatics is a horrible thing, too, as is jeopardizing American children’s lives by funneling healthcare money and services to illegal children and adults.
