    Default Hucka-Who?

    Well I be damned! I kinda like Mike Huckabee.

    At first I thought... "Ex-Preacher man wants to be my President? No way!"

    Now he's growing on me.... like Republican fungus. What do the SW'ers think of Huck?

    He seems like a good guy, very likable, but this quote scares me:

    "[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards"

    Oh no please just say no to mister "Well, I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles."

    Worst. Soundbyte. Evar. His social views are definitely not SW friendly. Sin hangups and all that.

    Sadly yes. I couldn't fall back asleep. But I have a good reason. I feel like I did when I was a kid the night before Xmas and couldn't sleep.

    That vid is hilarious! He was pretty cool to do that, probably has a good sense of humor or at least good enough to hire funny campaign managers/advertisers. But his social views, yuck really. He's probably a nice guy to hang with, not so much to vote for.

    Do you know who had a totally awesome stealth sense of humor? Bob Dole. He is the only person I ever saw walk on Conan O'Brien and *completely* dominate the humor. I'm pretty sure that was even back when Andy Richter was still there. Do you know how funny you have to be to do that? And that isn't scripted, like this kind of vid. I wish Bob Dole had opened up like that *before* the election, or tried to run again, maybe we wouldn't have ended up with Gee Dub. Plus he endorsed viagra. I mean, them's cojones!

    Huckabee is insane. Do not vote for him.

    Back when he was governor of Arkansas, the town of Texarkana was hit by severe tornadoes. The state legislature passed an emergency bill to protect the people who'd lost their homes, saying that insurance companies couldn't deny claims that came from acts of G-d. (The term has been used in English commonlaw and our own law since at least the 1600's.) Huckabee refused to sign the legislation because he didn't believe that G-d should be blamed for the suffering caused by the tornado. He tied up that bill for FOUR WEEKS while he bickered about whether a tornado was really an act of G-d. Finally they changed it to "natural disasters" and he signed the law.

    He also freed a rapist because the man claimed to have found Jesus in jail, and Huckabee believed in Christian forgiveness. That guy went on to rape and murder a young woman who would most likely be alive today had Huckabee left that killer in jail.

    I've no doubt he's a fine minister, but he needs to be in a church and not the White House.

    Well said! But there's no getting around the fact that the former fattie has a much more likeable, approachable vibe than noble Mr. McCain. Given this, and Hucka's clear appeal to the religious right wing of the party, I'm betting he gets the VP nod. That'd still put him in the White House, albeit a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    Wonder who Obama is considering for No. 2?

    He's insane because he's a practicing Christian?

    I might agree with you that he mixes politics and "preaching" too much, but to call him insane because of religous views is kind of crappy.

    The people of Arkansas knew what he was before he was elected.

    I think that it borders on insanity when your religion matters more to you than your job, your duties under the elected office you chose to run for, your constituents, your country, and your fellow human beings. Yes, I think that's nuts.

    The people of Arkansas knew he was a Baptist preacher. I don't know if they realized the extent of his zealotry, and anyway it's Arkansas, not exactly famous for reason or intellect. The rest of the country can do better.

    It's actually even worse than that. It is HIS version of God's Standards he wants to impose. He doesn't believe in evolution. We've already endured almost 8 years of a putz who puts faith over facts. Why would we want another one ?

    Huckabee's ideas are incompatible with a SECULAR state.

    He's the kind of guy that would probably be fun to chill and watch football with, or have a beer at the local bar with, but I would NOT want him running my country.

    ^^^ I know what you mean and I agree, except no, I don't think a beer with Huckabee would be any fun at all given that he's a strict Baptist! (They think all alcohol is evil and they never drink!)

    Of course, for the non-ministers and the slightly less devout, people will always cheat when they won't get caught. My stepfather was raised Southern Baptist and he has a saying: "Never bring a Baptist fishing with you; he'll drink all your beer. Instead bring TWO Baptists, and they won't touch any of it." A similar joke says, "Jews don't recognize Jesus as the son of G-d. Lutherans don't recognize the Vatican as an authority. Baptists don't recognize each other at the liquor store."

    D'oh!!

    Maybe a round of flag football or a fishing trip or something similarly wholesome and all-American? We could talk about Jesus and commies and stuff.

    Yeah, that sounds like fun. Huckabee would definitely be a good fishing buddy.

    Don't like the idea of him with nuclear launch codes though! He'd be like General Ripper in Strangelove.

    Huckabee scares me because he's so likeable...like that ad, it's specifically appealing to the very people that would otherwise dislike him, and it's...nothing. There's no meat. It's evil genius. CHuck Norris jokes used as a trojan horse.
