Welcome to the camp
I guess you know why I’m here
My name is Huckster
And I’m being pushed this year
If you want to follow me
You have to play pinball
And put in the earplugs
Put on the eye shades
You know where to put the cork...

People are always mistaking the Baptists for the "split Baptists". Still, they aen't as bad as the independent Christian churches who regularly spin off a new congregation once they get up near 100 members.

No way this Novak guy understands any of this.

I have found that most people in the MSM have no clue about Protestants or even Catholics and the Prince of Darkness is no exception.

BTW, I will never vote for the pro-open border wishy washy Huckster!

Raised Southern Baptist, and now a Methodist, I can safely say, it takes a Baptist to know a Baptist.

"Slick Mickey" Huckabee is too reminiscent of Bill Clinton.

Fool me once...

I’m a Baptist, and so is the rest of my family. My dad is either hard-headed, or a fanatic, because he has told me on numerous occasions he would not vote for a Mormon, but instead he is voting for Huck (in large part, if not wholly because Huck is/was an ordained minister). I’ve also told him on numerous occasions that Huck is just a Dem who is pro-life. Huck is soft on crime, pro-big government, and probably would be weak on national defense (given that he has absolutely no idea of what is going on in the world around us, and the threat of Islamic extremist). One thing my dad stumped me on was this: Huck is for the fair tax, thereby pretty much abolishing the IRS to some extent. If that’s the case, then how can he be pro-big government. My best guess is that the fair tax would bring in a comparable amount of money in relation to the existing tax structure. Given that people will pretty much be able to decided, to some extent, how much they pay in taxes, there would be a slight decline in tax revenue for the government. However, since we would be using a fair tax system, the IRS would be obsolete, but there would have to be an establishment, so some extent, to collect the money (although I’m sure this establishment would be far smaller as compared to the IRS), right? That being said, would the government be able to make up the difference for the deficit by abolishing the IRS, thereby giving the government as much money as they have today for big government? Can someone help me on this? I need to lure my dad away from the dark side.

Go Fred Go

Some Baptists don’t agree with Tax Hike Mike that money belongs to the guvmint (which graciously lets you keep some of it for yourself)? I’m shocked!

As a Christian, I appreciate Mike’s faith, and his willingness to not back down from it, but he has a problem distinguishing between Christian charity and socialism, giving and theft. A Christian shouldn’t want to be Caesar telling us that he is due more and more of our earnings. A Christian in public office has twice the obligation to represent the Kingdom of Heaven to the people he serves, encouraging charity by example, not by using taxes as a tool for stealing from them. If Christians can’t do that, and restrain themselves from the temptation to plunder, they should get into a different line of work. Likewise, anyone in government serves God by upholding justice and providing for peace and security. Allowing illegals to come in to work, go to school, set up networks that provide for human smuggling, drug trafficking, auto theft and plundering our social services is a violation of the public trust. I don’t trust a man who can’t see past the softness of his head to the consequences of his actions. Millions of American citizens have been hurt because our public officials place greed over their duty to uphold our immigration laws. I hope the evangelical crowd wakes up to take a close look at Mike and his flaws. I sympathize with fellow Christians who can’t support a moral degenerate like Rudy or a liberal, pro choice, gun grabber like Mitt, but Mike is a poor alternative.

How can he appeal to Baptists when his past rhetoric on illegal immigration is straight out of the Liberation Theology handbook? He called those who wanted to enforce the laws and close the border racists, for pete’s sake! What is wrong with these people supporting him?

I'm a Baptist who'd vote for Romney if I was an American.

Instead I voted for Stephen Harper, who "occasionally attends" Christian & Missionary Alliance services.

Who else is associated as Baptist? I have a great number of Baptist relatives and many more friends and the majority are Clintons supporters. NO I am not kidding!!!

OK...anyone want to explain why we don't see "Mormons Split over Romney"? "Catholics Split Over Giuliani"? "Episcopalians Turned Baptists Split Over McCain"? "Church Falterers Split Over Thompson"?

Huckabee can't even get his own co-religionists behind him?

Uh-oh? What? Hillary can't even get all her own co-Methodists behind her?

Let's see these threads & media articles give equal time to all the faithful splits across the board...

..as for me and my house--we ain't split

Some other "so-called" Southern Baptists who received votes from church-going folks who didn't do their homework:

James Earl Carter
Albert Gore
Willard
