I'll let someone speak for his own soul.

Now who's got closed ears? I didn't say anything about Huckabee's soul, Huckabee did! At the press conference he told the reporters that he had chosen to pull the ad because "what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?" Then, while standing between placards with text from the ad, he showed it to them. He talked about his soul, not me.

He said he didn't want to run those commercials. He didn't want to change the focus of his campaign. He didn't want to get mired in negativity.

Then he should have pulled them and shut up. I mean really, you're thinking this guy will be a great president, but even if I'm wrong about him and it was totally honest, this incident just means that he's afraid to tell the press, "Sorry, you can't see that." Yeah, that's exactly the kind of guy who can stare down America's enemies.

And there is a difference between saying something once and saying it over and over again.

A man who claims to be qualified to be a Christian minister and President of the United States should be expected to know that taking words back is like getting toothpaste back in the tube. That goes triple for words said in front of a room full of reporters on a national political beat.

If he isn't a weasel, he's incompetent. Neither is what I'm looking for in a President, and as I noted before, this press conference is not the only issue I have with him.

I told you -- he has nothing to take back, here.

You're posts are getting too silly, not to mention off-topic. See me elsewhere, if you like, Mr. gorilla man.

1. Not true. This is a thread about Huckabee's appeal (among others) and we have been discussing reasons conservatives should be/should not be supporting him.

2. Discussion of character and leadership are never off-topic during a presidential campaign.

See me elsewhere, if you like, Mr. gorilla man.

Hmmm...guess you're infected with a bunker mentality.
