Is Huckabee a Jimmy Carter Christian?
Recently Huckabee reportedly was unaware that the Supreme Court struck down an anti-sodomy law as being unconstitutional. How can we depend upon him to carry the social conservative banner into the next election cycle if he fails to understand one of the most basic and recent court decisions. How can we trust him to pick judges who are opposed to anal intercourse, if for no other reason than it is the most fertile infectious form of HIV transmission.
If you can vote for a man who is opposed to school choice and one who is endorsed by the National Education Association of New Hampshire, then Huckabee is your man. He does however give illegal aliens the choice to compete with US children for scholarship money. He did so because he did not want "innocent" children to be punished for the criminal activity of their parents. Perhaps Huckabee will allocate some tax revenue to pay for a fine education at one of our most prestigious boarding schools for the children of drug addicts who are imprisoned (occasionally). If you're a Huckabee supporter then you also agree that illegal immigration makes up for slavery. I don't understand the connection. Maybe someone can explain it to me.Here's a novel idea that apparently has no chance of working yet is the first thing on the Huckabee website: [commit] the resources of the federal government to the enforcement of our immigration laws.
Ok so Huckabee is a man of "faith" like Carter but according to his website he said "My faith doesn't influence my decisions" Neither does Giuliani's, so what is the difference? Giuliani will appoint judges who will not misconstrue the Constitution. Which is more then I can say for the Huckster. I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right (of the unborn to live); well isn't that just peachy Huckster?. Let's bet on the judges instead and forget about the electoral process which is about as infertile as I wish unwed mother were. He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, but doesn't understand the Texas sodomy case Lawrence and Garner v. Texas. If it were not for the fact that anal intercourse is a very good delivery system for HIV infection, given the impracticality of policing this disgusting act, anal intercourse should not be a legislative matter, unless of course children in grammar school are instructed on how to perform this act safely. Somehow given the teacher's endorsement, I don't see the Huckster proposing any legislation that would limit teaching any form of perversion. Perhaps churchgoers can somehow figure out how to unconfuse the minds of their children while Huckabee does nothing about removing condoms from the hand-out basket at South Street Elementary School.
Socialism 101: According to the Huckster, Every child deserves a quality education, first-rate health care, decent housing in a safe neighborhood, and clean air and drinking water. Every child deserves the opportunity to discover and use his God-given gifts and talents. Apparently only public schools are capable of providing a quality education, since religious schools are not likely to demonstrate the various anal intercourse techniques. I got my first demonstration watching two dogs unable to separate. I noted that they were not same-sex unions. I also have never seen two same-sex animal unions which leads me to conclude that only in humans is there a normal variant from heterosexuals. In case you have not already discovered, I'm not opposed to homogeneous grouping, just acts which carry a high likelihood of killing a large segment of humanity. There are some acts which are so unnatural that even the Huckster should be able to comprehend them.
It's Huck.
It's Huck."
Well said!
Or in Carter’s case: If it swims like a bunny and sounds like a bunny, then it’s probably a swimming bunny.
Huckabee is worse than Jimmy Carter, he was born in Hope, Arkansas, same as Bill Clinton.
Huckabee is just a liberal. Through and through.
He will be a willing liberal tool on fiscal issues, foreign policy, “the environment”, class warfare, and so forth.
And anyone who thinks he’ll toe the conservative line on social issues will be in for a rude awakening, in the awful event that he is elected POTUS.
He will fold up like a cheap suit when the liberals put pressure on him even for these, his supposedly “signature” issues...
Playing pretty fast and loose with the truth, aren’t we, street_lawyer?
The entire quote in context: “My faith is my life - it defines me. My faith doesn’t influence my decisions, it drives them. For example, when it comes to the environment, I believe in being a good steward of the earth. I don’t separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.”

Based on that blatant misrepresentation alone, the rest of your “opinion” isn’t worth reading.
You’re not going to convince Huckabee supporters by your “lawyerly” counsel.
Try more honey and less vinegar.
Huckabee is no Carter. He is much slicker than Carter.
“street_lawyer” is, after all, a lawyer. They present arguments to *win*, not to be truthful.
Second, I happen to REMEMER what everyone was saying at the time. Almost no one was arguing that Lawrence was bad. A few conservative lawyer types saw the problem. MOST people, even conservatives, couldn't make the conntection. It was "what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody's business." I know because I was busy arguing with people about it.
Even Clarence Thomas who voted against Lawrence made the argument against the Texas state law. No one seemed to see the purposes of sodomy laws until we started experiencing the consequences of Lawrence. Even still, most people can't seem to get it through their thick skulls.
That is a lousy excuse but it is enough of one. Name another candidate who favors a return of anti-sodomy laws. I wish they all held that position but they don't. Perhaps some of them see the error of Lawrence, but were they arguing against it at the time? I doubt it. Do they think sodomy should be illegal. I SERIOUSLY doubt it. Wimps all!!!
Yep!
The Huck just apologized for the death of Buhto; now why would he have done that? He is an idiot.
“Huckabee is worse than Jimmy Carter, he was born in Hope, Arkansas, same as Bill Clinton.”
Yes, I can see that is a horrible crime. Every person in Hope must be another Bill Clinton. Oh my, we need to surround the town with torches and pitchforks and drives all these evil people into concentration camps.
By this logic we shouldn’t support Thompson because he came from Tennessee like Gore....
You are being silly and insulting to a whole group of people.
Yep. But I don’t think he is quite as smart, therefore not quite as dangerous.
Huckabee is no more liberal than GWBush.
That was a goofy gaff, of course.
I’m eager to see Hunter/Thompson as our ticket. At the same time, I don’t want to lie in order to demonize Huckabee. He’s got enough problems that we don’t need to resort to lying and misrepresentation.
Again, Huckabee supporters aren’t going to respond well to lawyer-speak; they’ll respond to the truth winsomely presented about Huckabee.
Hatred for Huckabee is driving many FReepers mad.
