What I mean to say is that I’m not sure he can be trusted — I don’t know what to believe any more because of what he has done in the past. It’s to the point where you need proof that matches the words. You get my meaning, now, I think. :-)
Read your post 34 and read your post 41 and be embarassed.
Quit trying to manipulate people and be honest, read those two posts and any that you made between, and look at the huge journey that you took, do you think that we can’t see that childish attempt to manipulate?
Thanks, I’ll read it, but you don’t want to get threads mixed up and start blending them.
Hmmm, I don’t recall saying I believed he is taking the high road. Maybe you should re-read my original post.
It’s understood, but, who knows ? God could use 4 plain average guys to do a miracle.
But, I will say, Huckabee does not bother me enough to resort to the petty name calling that is common here on Free Republic. I guess I left that behind in grade school.
Look at post 17-—”””I am not sure Huckabee voters see this as a disaster. I have talked to family back in Iowa and even though they are not all Huckabee people, they look at this afternoon as Huckabee pulling back from the abyss at the last minute. He is getting credit for taking the high road (like it or not).”””
Where did I say I was giving him credit for taking the high road? I know it was a political move by a candidate with too little money to make major ad buys (and a smart move at that, despite the criticism). Guerilla marketing 101. You have to comprehend what you are reading better. My statement that people I talked to are giving him credit for taking the high road does not equate with me believing such.
Listen, I am honest and not childish, nor do I see and treat people as such, and I don’t manipulate people — I don’t play games (especially mind ones). Again, all I am saying is there are some people who will see what Mr. Huckabee has done as taking the high ground, because they don’t like negative ads and don’t like the media — that’s all — simple as that. And, of course, there will be people who feel the same as you do about this. It’s not my fault or anyone else’s that these people think this way. I don’t know how many of them are out there, but there are some.
“My statement that people I talked to are giving him credit for taking the high road does not equate with me believing such.”
The post 21 explanation, but post 17 sounded to me as though you were trying to lead us to believe something. You WERE selling us something.
Do you really think so? I think they said thru the weekend that they would be deciding what to do as they went along. In instances such as this, when a candidate actually retracts an ad, deciding not to show it, it is understood that the press will not show it. It becomes like "off the record" comments.
” Again, all I am saying is there are some people who will see what Mr. Huckabee has done as taking the high ground, because they don’t like negative ads and don’t like the media — that’s all — simple as that.

Read your posts to me starting at 34 and be sure and catch 41, it was probably an effort that should not have been made.
What is it that you are trying to say, please?
That in post 34 you were trying to lecture me, and that by post 41 you were saying this “What I mean to say is that I’m not sure he can be trusted — I don’t know what to believe any more because of what he has done in the past. It’s to the point where you need proof that matches the words.
I think that you were trying to lay a cloud down initially, with a subtle insult and using a candidate that you probably dislike more than me to make a vague negative statement (about me)that you did not just want to throw out there. I think that you were even playing to the crowd a little in post 34.
When you portray yourself as a strong Catholic accepting Mormonism as Christian, and then I ask you the Catholic position on Mormonism, you have never responded, yet for this we have a long conversation.
