Romney governed as conservative as he could in the most liberal state.
Huchabee governed liberally in a fairly conservative state.
There in lies the difference.
For you our contempt and contumely
“both have proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that they can and will lie to prevent a true servant of Christ from occupying the oval office.”
I am not going to vote for a candidate simply because he’s a servant of God. We saw where that got us with Bush. Huckabee has not demonstrated to me that he really understands our problems, and knows how to fix them. Letting 1000 violent felons out of jail is just nuts. Increasing taxes, and then defending the tax increases during the Presidential debate is just nuts. His excuse to increase taxes was that the money was needed to improve the schools, but at the same time he was doing that, he was pushing for college subsidies for illegal aliens. I’m tired of this nonsense. Give me an atheist President who’s got some common sense!
Halo om too tight.
Injecting this level of politics into what purports to be a religious message is very disturbing to me. Support Huckabee if you like, but keep it in the political realm. Some of these statements seem to smack of judgment of others, which is fine in the political realm, but specifically forbidden in the context of the Christian faith. At least I always thought so.
Ray thinks like my Pastor. The real deal is out there...you just have to look around to find them. Tel-evangelicals make them all look bad IMO.
Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I never could figure out why they tried to paint Romney as a conservative given his record. They wouldn’t even mention his past record. This is still a mystery to me.
You know, if the Dems had said something like this in response to somebody attacking Obama and/or Hillary because of their race and/or sex, we’d be shouting from the rooftops about identity politics. That’s all this is, and nothing more.
Now, I’m not a Christian and I don’t like Huckabee, so maybe this is easier for me to say, but anybody who votes for a candidate solely (or even largely) because they agree on matters of doctrine needs their head examined.
Tripe in the name of the Lord is still tripe.
following the moderators rules [after “please”] this message remains blank.

They will be the first to tell you that it’s all about money.

“Pastor” Bob Cekeste also thinks Jesus would use violence against abortion clinics and abortionists:
“It has been suggested by many a liberal theologian, that if Jesus was walking amongst us today, He would never use any violence against an abortion clinic... I beg to disagree.”- Bob Celeste, Wednesday, October 18, 1999

This guy has GOT to be kidding.
Show me where Hannity, Limbaugh or Coulter have signed a pledge to throw their principles under the bus to support whomever the Republicans decide to nominate. This isn’t Stalinist Russia, it’s a representative republic, and if one’s elected representatives aren’t representing one’s interests, it is perfectly acceptable and indeed patriotic to scream, shout and kick one’s feet if necessary. Conversely, going along with whatever government apparatchiks decide to do is the sure route to tyranny.
Nobody owns anybody’s fealty, nor their vote, and the sooner the elite insiders of the Republican party get that through their incredibly thick skulls, the better. If the party wants the support of Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, or, for that matter, me, then earn it. In the meantime, if you don’t like what they’re saying, you are free to turn them off.
