I can spell them both.
I also know the difference between a radio host I can turn off and a candidate for President of the United States.
It will be interesting to see the complete article and the context, but this isn't an electoral issue.
The LDS church beliefs are not relevant.
How Mitt handles questions is relevant. Mitt has a habit of “tailoring” responses to put it nicely.
Huck’s church practices full immersion baptism solely. If someone were to ask him about that, I would hope he would answer truthfully. If he doesn’t, it’s a matter of concern.
What? You can't "turn down" the media volume on a Huckabee so that you don't have to read his words & listen to him & watch him? Somebody's holding you hostage to visit this Huckabee thread & other media venues? Shall we call FREEPER 911?
(I sure hope no one's forcing you to vote for anyone either...And I know the difference between deciding you're not going to vote for a certain POTUS candidate & trying to influence others on inconsistent grounds that are not raised as similar standards in other contexts).
I think all should wait to see the article this Sunday before casting stones. After all, Huckabee has been accused of attacking Romney simply by stating that he (Huckabee) is a Christian. I have yet to hear a single attack on LDS from Huckabee. Please enlighten me.
Huckabee had this to say about the article (that has not come out yet)...
Huckabee Campaign Responds to AP/New York Times Report
December 11, 2007
LITTLE ROCK, AR – A report released tonight cites an upcoming article in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine which quotes former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee asking a question about the content of the Mormon faith. In fact, the full context of the exchange makes it clear that Governor Huckabee was illustrating his unwillingness to answer questions about Mormonism and to avoid addressing theological questions during this campaign.
“Governor Huckabee has said consistently that he believes this campaign should center on a discussion of the important issues confronting our nation,” said Senior Advisor, Dr. Charmaine Yoest, “and not focus on questions of religious belief. He wants to assure persons of all faith traditions of his firm commitment to religious tolerance and freedom of worship. Governor Huckabee believes that one of the great strengths of our nation lies in its diversity of thought, opinion and faith.”
