For a fleeting moment, I almost liked Hukabee. After this idiocy, there’s no way I’ll vote for him. If he gets the nomination, I’ll not vote. Period.

I’m that way about most of the Republican hopefuls. The more I hear about him, the better and better Duncan Hunter is sounding. I just worry we’re going to get to the election with a Democrat on one side and a Democrat with an (R) by their name on the other.

If he gets the nomination, I’ll not vote.

IMO conservatives and Repubicans need to split from the Values Voters and Social Conservatives.

You did notice the writer of the piece tossed in this bit of spin: "He also resisted wading into theology when pressed to explain why some evangelicals don't view the Mormon faith as a Christian denomination." ~

Observe the attempt to divert the attention of the ignorant from the fact that the entirity of the Catholic church (Eastern and Western branches, the Coptics, etc.) ALSO don't view any Mormon group as being a Christian denomination.

Turns out only a few Christian groups of any kind have a different position regarding Mormon beliefs.

And that's spin on my own part because I failed to qualify my own statement by noting that almost all Christian groups, of whatever stripe, have held at one time or the other that the others weren't really Christian!

The Treaty of Westphalia (signed to bring an end to the period of violence we call the Thirty Years War) obligated everyone to forget about what the other guys were doing at church ~ and get on with civilization.

The Mormons and the Orthodox, however, didn't sign that Treaty (the first didn't exist and the latter didn't get asked), so I suppose they have no signed obligation to keep their mouths shut on the issue.

wait for the article - these previews seldom do justice to the story

Or come over from the Dark Side, to where we will be later next year, if there is a credible and strong, powerful, well-known Conservative running as an Independent in November, as an alternative to a Dem Socialist and a Ripon Rockefeller-wing Republican RINO. I would hope you would give it a thought, as opposed to not voting at all! But that is your choice. Please think it through.
