That is dangerous. Its the same for voting based solely on skin color.
Kinda like George Bush.
WorldNet Daily:
Huckabee’s theology degree? Now says ain’t necessarily so
Campaign admits candidate doesn’t have claimed religious credential

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told the Christian Broadcasting Network he had a theology degree, he told voters in Iowa he had a theology degree, he repeated the claim in last month’s CNN YouTube debate ... but, his campaign now says, it was not true.
Huckabee’s claim began unraveling following his offhanded comment about Mormonism in a New York Times interview last weekend.
Reporter Zev Chafets wrote: “I asked Huckabee, who describes himself as the only Republican candidate with a degree in theology, if he considered Mormonism a cult or a religion. ‘I think it’s a religion,’ he said. ‘I really don’t know much about it.’
...
In the interview, Huckabee’s account of his education made no mention of his having earned a theology degree.
Chafets wrote: “If young Mike Huckabee was ever rebellious or difficult, there’s no record of it. He preached his first sermon as a teenager, married his high-school sweetheart and went off to Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. There he majored in speech and communications, worked at a radio station and earned his B.A. in a little more than two years. He spent a year at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Tex., before dropping out to work for the televangelist James Robison, who bought him his first decent wardrobe and showed him how to use television.”

That is two good reasons why he should be leader of the free world. He is a Minister and Chuck Norris endorses him.

I can't think of a single issue he is to the right of Bush on. Bush was solid on tax cuts, Huckabee is a tax and spender. Bush almost single-handedly pushed the stem cell research in a new direction, while Huckabee promoted one of the biggest embryonic stem cell companies. Bush has been tough on law order issues.
The only way anyone can say Huckabee is to the right of Bush (or just about any Republican) on any issue is to ignore completely his dismal record in Arkansas.
Huckabee, Romney, Guiliani, McCain are liberals as far as I’m concerned.
I don’t like Mike.
Not at all.
Evangelicals aren’t the only ones who can threaten to stay home.
Domestically there might something to that, other than Huck's willingness to cave to Arkansas democrats on tax increases. But as for foreign policy, he's pure Jimmy Carter.
It's worse than that. He want to the legislature and asked THEM to decide what taxes to raise and he would sign whatever they came up with.
And this guy thinks he's a leader?
He’ll be at least as good as Jimmah Carter.
Now there's a high bar to set.
He seems like a populist Southern Democrat of half a century ago.
Such weight loss is not impossible. A woman I know, 4’11’’ tall went from 315 to 160 in a year and a half when “Jesus told me to lose weight.” She has had no surgery. She changed her eating habits and got a treadmill which she righteously uses.
He’s a bum.
God bless her. She must feel much better.
FReeper Plutarch makes a VERY convincing case that Huckabee did have bariatric surgery and is lying about it.
The thread is

The change in her looks and demeanor is astounding, especially as I did not see her for 7 months and then only recognized her because she had her mother’s face. That, itself, was a shock because her mother died almost twenty years ago.
At 4’11” she must have been extremely miserable weighing in at over 300 pounds. What a wonderful story.
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.
