Agreement and respect are not synonyms. I can disagree with someone and still respect them. I can say that I honestly believe someone is wrong in the choices they make, yet I can respectfully voice my dissent. Vote for a candidate who speaks clearly, consistently, passionately, confidently, humbly, and honestly. There are few candidates who, based upon my observations, embody these characteristics like Mike Huckabee.

This guy annoys me so much. He was such a liar about his role in the Dumond case. Chastain, who was a member of the parole board at the time of the case, makes it pretty clear that Huckabee pushed for his parole.
he's just another in a long line of christian bigots. he talks about vertical politics, but boy he certainly knows how to back track when he is called to account for his bigotry.
Huckabee got off easy. He really didn't answer the part about Wayne DuMond, and the fact is that he DID orchestrate the release of him. He personally sent him a letter saying it was "his wish that he be released." He got easy questions and scripted answers, that's all I have to say about that.
Great interview, great answers. Interesting to see one year later that his message has been the same. Can't say that about Romney. Supports marriage and Christianity without being hateful to atheists and homosexuals.
GOP Candidate's Record As Arkansas Governor Marred By Controversial Parole Of Wayne DuMond.
Huckabee orchestrated the release of convicted rapist Wayne Dumond. He usurped the authority of the Arkansas' justice system to release this scumbag. Shortly after the release, Dumond sexually brutalized and murdered a woman in Missouri.
NOW LET'S SEE, MIKE. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION. How about heliocentrism -- you know, that radical idea of Kepler and Galileo's that the Earth revolved around the sun? Doesn't say that in the Bible, just the opposite. And how about the idea that the sun is just another star? And how about geology, anthropology, astronomy, paleontology, archaeology, cosmology, but I am running out of room... Mike, we can ill afford medievalism in the White House.
Homosexuality actually does effect our society, and causes many difficulties for the traditional family. Studies show that the traditional family is what builds a strong society. Children who grow with both a male and female parent in an environment of love do better in school and have a lower crime rate. A president who understands that will strengthen the nation.
If we take a watered-down view about whether or not a person is born gay is a position that is not based upon scientific research. If homosexuality is a sin, which the Bible says it is,then why God would be unjust to call it sin if it is a genetic predisposition. I have counseled many homosexuals who successfully abandoned that lifestyle and the majority were molested as a child.
Actually, the Bible does not use the word Homosexual in the original text, it is merely the English word that the translators chose in some cases, because there was not a better way to say it in their oppinion. The Bible does not say Homosexuality is a sin, but rather it is an abomination for believers. If you represent Christ you are forbid of it, just as you are to honor your father and mother. Common or secular people are however not commanded any way on it in the Bible.
Read Romans ch.1. It speaks of alienation from God, and the results. Pretty clear. Besides Scripture(Old Test.&New)the Patristics also spoke of the sin of Homosexuality.
In John chapter 9, there is a man, who was born blind. Jesus says that this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
Is it possible that every defection (imperfection) is for that purpose? Real transformation from selfish man to God-centered man. As a Christian, I deal with more devastated sin, which is selfishness, pride, and lack of love. Oh, Lord, help us all.
For someone so genuine he says 'I really don't know' a lot. 1 week creation of the heavens and the earth, Gay adoption, born gay or not- he has no definitive opinion on
Gov. Huckabee is smart and articulate, just the kind of leader America needs, he understands the times and he's a a proven consistent, principled leader who is capable of bringing Americans together. His message is positive and optimistic not unlike Reagan in his day.
He said vociferously!!! A straightforward candidate with a vocabulary you can find in an actual dictionary.
I really hope he makes it and I wish people like us could help decide who makes it to the vote. I've been voting ever since I was legally able and I have never been given the opportunity to vote for a candidate in which I actually believed, always had to vote for the guy I disliked the least. Please, oh please, let Huckabee get to the point where I can actually vote for him!
I love this guy! Everyone makes mistakes and we'll see what the other candidates have in their closets, but for me this is my first choice, I worry however, that America can't handle a moral president. I really think there needs to be another party maybe the conservative party and he should run on that ticket. If Giuliani ends up being the republican candidate then I will have to look elsewhere for a candidate that represents my views.
I will give him credit for his sincerity and he's not a totally manufactured candidate, but he's still a right wing creep full of hate for those with whom he's not comfortable. And looney tunes don't believe in evolution.
Evolutionism is a hypothetical philosophy, that has nothing to do with advancing modern technology or understanding. Learn to think before you talk, and articulate what you think instead of just blurting out insults.

and huckforprez, that's only YOUR opinion, nothing more.
you need to learn how to think too, before you open your "so called" christian mouth.
one can say the same fucking thing about the bible. you have no proof other than a book, and there are more books on evolution than are the various bibles.
Science puts men on the moon, it doesn't have anything to do with believing we came from apes. Learn the difference before you propagate your Godless philosophy.
I don't believe in evolution. It takes too much faith to believe in evolution. We have made so much progress in science, Mike Huckabee is for science. I like him very much. He is authentic, trust worthy, and honest. As he said, he had a humble beginning and I can see him as MY president. Go! Mike!!!
Science does not equal evolution. It is even still regarded as simply a theory. Just because you don't believe in evolution doesn't mean you throw away all basic scientific principles too. I went to a Christian school and they taught us science there. Wow! And they call us ignorant!
NOW LET'S SEE, MIKE. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION. How about heliocentrism -- you know, that radical idea of Kepler and Galileo's that the Earth revolved around the sun?

Midievalism? Are you kidding me? Just because someone doesn't share your views on the way this world and our lives came to be does not make them stupid, ignorant or by any means, incapable of leading politically. Scienceand it's theory of evolution, dispite all of its support has as many shortcomings if not more than creation. Get over yourself.
science and it's theory of evolution has it's short comings but your "so called" christian view the world being only 6,000 years old is stupidity at it's zenith gsphiya
yet over yourself you ignorant "so called" christian. get an education.
I think this guy is a good candidate for the Republicans, although he did dodge a lot of the statements he said before, such as the "beaver to butthead" statement. I also think he is also a bit backward thinking on abortion and gay rights, but overall a good advertisment for conservative politics.
Barney Frank represents about 2% of the population. That's the problem with Barney Frank and any other queer politicians. We don't need more sodomites in this nation...come on Mike! Homosexuality is a sin just as Fornication (sex outside of marriage) or adultery or lying or etc. all can be taken care of by the Love of Jesus.
How has any of that bullshit hurt you in any way? Did a queer stab you when you were a child (that is, if your not already a child )? If anything, you should bow down to the "sodomites" and give God a big dildo to suck on.
I have decided who I am voting for!!!!! He is a breath of fresh air, can't wait for the debate with the hag! Huckabee is what conservatives have been waiting for since Reagan. Thank You, Gina
Mike Huckabee is the most articulate, and the most genuine conservative candidate in this race so far. He has great values, and he has a great heart for morality. Vote Mike Huckabee for President in 2008!
I really like this guy, he is one of the first politicians I've liked since Reagan. And Global Warming is a Global problem not just an American problem and he said he is up for debating subjects, plus we have some other problems we should work on first.
