Already answered in a previous post but I'll expand. He lied about Romney not supporting the Federal Marriage Amendment so he could appeal to his base as the only "social conservative" on that issue. It was a lie he told not only publicly on TV but his "representative" speaker at the Iowa Cacus event I attended in Sioux City, IA Feb. 5th continued the lie as well. The LDS church officially endorsed the Federal Marraige Amendment as did Romney years ago. Huck was not only lying about Romney politically on the issue but also religiously. Huck declared his support of the Amdendment was due to his religious beliefs. Yet he was perpetuating falsehood about Romney who had religious reasoning for supporting the Amendment as well. It was just another example of Huck who knows the truth about the issue openly lying about it for political gain.
The way he described the Mormon faith was openly decribed as a canard by Rush Limbaugh as well as other conservatives. Huckabee knew he was using theology to sideline Mormons to play to the Evangelical base. He knew he was wrong to do it. If he wasn't wrong to do it then why did he go to Romnmey to apologize to him for doing it?
In his apology to Romney he tried to play off that it was an offhand comment made out of ignorance. So Huck who holds a "theology" degree continued to lie by claiming ignorance that he "accidently" raised the theological issue? He knew what he was doing. But of course the damage was done. Much like McCain's open lies about Romney supporting a withdrawal timetable in Iraq.
Interesting, is the the kind of dishonesty you are referring to:
Here you go Rameumpton, here’s another one:

Doesn’t even mention Huckabee, kind of misleading isn’t it?
If this is all you can come up with for Huckabee, that’s pretty weak. Not much for a year of campaigning. I could find lie after lie about Romney - his character isn’t even close to Huckabee’s.
You say:
>>The LDS church officially endorsed the Federal Marraige Amendment as did Romney years ago.
What’s the point about the LDS church position here ... is this where Romney gets his marching orders? I thought his faith was separate from his politics?
>> was openly decribed as a canard by Rush Limbaugh as well as other conservatives
Rameumptom, are you for real? Since when is Rush an authority on Scripture? Your comment isn’t even funny, it’s scary!
>> If he wasn’t wrong to do it then why did he go to Romnmey to apologize to him for doing it?
Source for the apology??? Sources for anything??? And you’re kind of blending a few issues within these few lines ... Are you some kind of Campaign hack for tired and beaten down Romney campaign?
Why don’t you ever provide sources? I try to give you video or some verifiable source ... you always rant without any backup and you kind of jump all over the place - typical of a person with not much to stand on.
>> So Huck who holds a “theology” degree continued to lie by claiming ignorance that he “accidently” raised the theological issue
I would probably bet that he didn’t study Mormon theology - but Christian theology.
Romney is a pompous, arrogant, snob-faced chameleon in which the Bible says “Pride before a fall”. Romney’s absence from the campaign is a testimony to the faithfulness of God’s Word.
