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.
That has to be the most ridiculous post I have ever read on FR...congratulations.

Huckabee and Carter are both populists and neither fit well into their respective party ideology. I do not trust Huckabee and believe him lacking in pertinent experience and leadership. I also have problems with a candidate who wears his religion on his sleeve.
Hatred? never would I characterize my views on the Huckster as hatred, he is a pathetic excuse as a candidate as President.
Listening to him today cements my views he has no clue about foreign policy and to brig up how our funds are being used are totally inappropriate at this time.
Only an idiot would bring this up at this time.
McInsanse has made the same comment as we speak.
I don't see lots of "Hatred" for Huckabee...just lots of FReepers who are not blinded enough to be snowed by him. Thankfully so...at least many freepers seem to aware enough to spot a phony :)
Disclaimer: I am not a Huckabee supporter.
Vilify Huckabee for his political beliefs, not his religion, name, the town that he was born in, the way his family looks.
All the rest is just plain mean or silly.
Maybe they were hoping it was true. ;-D
Hmm..okay. Bush gave us the NCLB, increased the medicare retirement plan, proposed that faith-based initiative plan, spent gobs on AIDS and wants to spend even more, vetoed practically nothing...on and on. Oh, and Bush is exactly where Huckabee is on the immigration issue. Bush has led many other Republicans astray with his compassionate conservative nonsense. They can be swayed back.
I don’t give a rat’s rear what you think, now or ever!
During the Kosovo war, I had posters calling me a baby-killer because I’m in the USAF.
It only takes a handful of jerks to make it look like Freepers are rotten. There are atheist Freepers, of course, but very few are anti-Christian.
I may have told you this before, but here it is again. We are a military family, I thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Yeah he might be like GWB, that is what we are so afraid of.
Lemmings don't require intelligence.
I stopped reading after the first paragraph. Sodomy laws are number 1001 on my list of 1000 things I want from a president.

I am not afraid of Huckabee’s Christianity because I too am a social conservative but please hold back for a while in your devotion to Huckabee. Test him out and don’t accept him at face value. I have learned the hard way that many people in politics are not what they seem. So please don’t “marry in haste and repent at leisure.” Don’t forget that Duncan Hunter is also a social conservative and has been for a long time.
I don’t think that just because Huckabee went to seminary and preached for a while that it should make him above questioning.
For the first time since I have old enough to vote, there is no one that I can support in the primaries. I will have to see about the general.
I’m not. End of conversation.
Okay. At least that's an honest argument.
Didn't the Algore go to seminary too? ;)
Mike Huckabee - a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Clinton Machine.
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.
