If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck.

It's Huck.

[AmericanMade1776]

Huckabee is worse than Jimmy Carter, he was born in Hope, Arkansas, same as Bill Clinton.

Playing pretty fast and loose with the truth, aren’t we, street_lawyer?

The entire quote in context: “My faith is my life - it defines me. My faith doesn’t influence my decisions, it drives them. For example, when it comes to the environment, I believe in being a good steward of the earth. I don’t separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.”
From http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Issues.View&Issue_id=9

Based on that blatant misrepresentation alone, the rest of your “opinion” isn’t worth reading.

You’re not going to convince Huckabee supporters by your “lawyerly” counsel.

Try more honey and less vinegar.

[Always Right]

Huckabee is no Carter. He is much slicker than Carter.

First of all, it is too late. Lawrence is law. Yes it could be overturned since it was itself an overturning of a previous ruling, but really, who is going to challenge it? I don't see it happening. Not even as likely as Roe being overturned even though Roe has been law longer.

Second, I happen to REMEMER what everyone was saying at the time. Almost no one was arguing that Lawrence was bad. A few conservative lawyer types saw the problem. MOST people, even conservatives, couldn't make the conntection. It was "what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody's business." I know because I was busy arguing with people about it.

Even Clarence Thomas who voted against Lawrence made the argument against the Texas state law. No one seemed to see the purposes of sodomy laws until we started experiencing the consequences of Lawrence. Even still, most people can't seem to get it through their thick skulls.

That is a lousy excuse but it is enough of one. Name another candidate who favors a return of anti-sodomy laws. I wish they all held that position but they don't. Perhaps some of them see the error of Lawrence, but were they arguing against it at the time? I doubt it. Do they think sodomy should be illegal. I SERIOUSLY doubt it. Wimps all!!!

[DarthVader]

Yep!

[hinckley buzzard]

I have heard nothing about Chuckles' plans for appointments to the higher courts. Has he taken any position on this vital issue? Does he even know he would be making court appointments?

[Eighth Square]

You better believe it! I’m getting sick to my stomach of getting sick to my stomach!

An excellent piece. Makes you realize that every one of those 25% of Iowa “Republicans” who say they support him are either totally ignorant of his record, or are complete imbeciles.

A pre-9/11 Presidential candidate

Who would have thought that we would see
A choice as weak as Huckabee?
Another Carter, who when pressed,
Might not defend the brave, free West.
“Fools rush in,” ‘tis often said.
But wimps like Huck can make us dead.

[The Great RJ]

Huckabee and Carter are both populists and neither fit well into their respective party ideology. I do not trust Huckabee and believe him lacking in pertinent experience and leadership. I also have problems with a candidate who wears his religion on his sleeve.

[purpleraine]

I stopped reading after the first paragraph. Sodomy laws are number 1001 on my list of 1000 things I want from a president.

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.

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

I can’t help reading this and how these standards would have applied to Ronald Reagan in his bid for the White House in 1980 if the same mean of measurement had been applied. It was Reagan that had refused to back the Briggs Initiatives in California a few years earlier, which would have barred homosexuals from teaching in California public schools. Until Reagan made his position known, the initiative had wide support among California voters, and seemed headed for easy passage. Despite Reagan's position on homosexuality, Evangelical Christians threw their support behind the Reagan campaign.

I won’t be voting for Huckabee, but my decision is based on other issues raised before this article.

[Natural Law]

" How can we trust him to pick judges who are opposed to anal intercourse..."

As abhorrent and disgusting as the practice might be, I do not want any president picking a judge who would impose his moral values on us. I want a president who will pick judges who will properly interpret the constitution, nothing more.

[fightinJAG]

I wouldn’t say Huck’s a Jimmah Christian. But he’d likely be a Jimmah president and that’s . . . not good.

[wardaddy]

I would say Huckster is a bit more salvation oriented and less good works than Carter

but still too much good works which is probably why he called folks who resisted his handouts to illegals as racists

in other words....he’s about like our current President

[Berosus]

Is Huckabee a Jimmy Carter Christian?

Do you mean in the sense of growing more liberal and more anti-Semitic, as time goes on?
