I can't wait until the day that the religious questions aren't even asked of candidates. What happened to separation of church and state?

[Coreacrazy]

separation of church and state anyone?

[lifemetall]

nothing will change until people of America change, because as long as retarded people vote, retarded decisions will be made by retarded chosen president

I love comment at the end, of Madison rolling over in his grave. The founding fathers are some of my heroes, even though I am not originally from America.

Except he believes in a magic invisible man and that the earth is 6000 years old and that evolution isn't a fact.

And he either is stupid because he doesn't understand the bible in how horrible it is. Or he is lying and is trying to get votes. Or he is a bad person and really believes we should hate gays and subjugate women.

Huckabee is a talented author, radio personality, tv talk show host, political analyst, governor, lt. governor, and plays a mean bass guitar! His comunication skills are unmatched!! He has vertical political ideas that are right for the country! Check him out.

Religion is the cause of all evil!

Someone tell me when someone smart runs for president.

So what does Mike Huckabee attribute his subsequent fade to? Jesus? I saw him asked something to the effect of "do you think the Earth is 6,000 years old" and he got all huffy about it. He said "I can't believe you're asking me about that." See? It's okay to bring up Jesus and all that when it suits your purposes and objectives, but not otherwise. Obviously they've done the math and realize that Jesus talk will earn more votes than it loses.

[Groundbase]

they all just say theyre religious to gain more votes because most americans are religious as hell

[MutantG]

Omg, yur sooooo right bobx2x2!

In fact the "Golden Rule" derives from a section of the Hebrew bible (Torah) known as Kedoshim, which translates to mean holiness or holies. The actual translation is closer to "Love others as you love yourself". Love is the answer, not war, not hate, and the "religious right" in this country or elsewhere.
