...political demeanor of Mike Huckabee...

Or you could look at his own disgusting words like telling people to shove a flagpole, Fred in constipated and ignorant and demeaning remarks about another candidate's religion.

Yeah, that Mike is a real classy guy.

"Honest, I never noticed that glowing white cross hovering behind me for 16 seconds. Honest."

“Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”

If a former preacher will lie about the cross, what won't he lie about?

The calling to be a pastor far outweighs any siren call of politics.

He should stick to what he was called to do.

Since God doesn’t make mistakes, the Huckster must be the one making one.

The first part was first so that it could warm all our hearts. Sounds like the kind of garbage Hillary puts out about herself. Propaganda.

Yeah, so, but we don’t like the “Huckster” cause Rush told us not to like him, or something.

"She always came alone and left alone. And to all outward appearances, nobody really cared,"

And where were you Huck when you were observing all her entrances and exits alone?

Kinda like saying "everyday I would pass this homeless person....till one day I saw someone finally stop to offer him a job or whatever. My heart was overjoyed!" So why didn't YOU stop?

>>Huckabee’s experience as pastor an asset in presidential race<<

I think that is fair - it cements his Christian credentials and almost guarantees he’d be a good speaker.

Another left-wing paper trying to boost the GOP’s most easily beatable candidate. Very transparent.

Bud Light presents:

"REAL MEN OF GENIUS"

...(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him

...(skim milk with three sweet and lows)

Sitting in a cubicle at campaign headquarters you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Salon, CNN and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR

...(oooh, here's one from DU!)

Armed with nothing but talking points from Hucks' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat

...(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)

When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, violent criminal pardoner, Jimmy Carter foreign policy appeaser, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website

...(copy, paste, copy, paste)

Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!

...(Highly overrated)

All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.

...(Praise the Lord!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

Bud Light beer. Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.

Wow, that will win a democrat’s vote. Huckles was done before he started. Fred is done too...Duncan, Tanko, Keyes, Kitty too. D’s have their own set of problems. Why discuss the loser’s and the one’s out of the race? Toast is toast.

This should tell a lot of Christians much about the man that set aside his "God-called" duty to preach the Gospel and pastor Jesus' flock of believers for the glam, power, prestige, and influence of the worldly choice of becoming a career politician. It should tell Christians a lot about the Huckster, indeed.
