That’s almost exactly what he had said—over and over and over—and the media was ripping him to shreds for refusing to say Mormonism wasn’t a cult. Was the rhetorical question a political miscalculation? From the standpoint that it underestimated the malicious intent of the reporter, it probably was. But I hardly think it disqualifies him as a presidential candidate.

Thanks for making my point. He chose the standard, logical choice for months on end. He had a template if asked about the issue. It was clear that stratgically he, along with Rollins, decided to stray from that template to play the "Wacky Religious Beliefs" card knowing it will both get attention and play to the fears of skeptics and bigots. There is no small interview in todays internet media environment. Huckabee's declaration today strive for a brokered convention was first uttered at some local Texas radio station. In no time AP, Reuters, Drudge yada yada had spread his comments far and wide. That's the reality, not some fantasy about some honest inquiry made by Huckabee in the role of ex-preacher in a conversation with another man of faith on a park bench.

It isn’t the worlds job to worry about that politician from Massachusetts, he is gone, he lost, the guy is history.

Right now we are in a presidential race, if you have a defense of McCain to make then make it, or support the other choice Huckabee.

Perhaps one of the huckster’s worshippers can explain to me a few things. According to his own words the huckster decides to head off to the Cayman Islands for a speaking engagement...during a presidental campaign?!? Who paid for it? When was it planned?!?

And Mrs huckster....who paid for her trip to Vegas?!?

And where are their fine children?!? Sure dont see much of these outstanding examples of family values.

Refer to the video link in post #85. Governor Huckabee is an honest man. You’ve been brainwashed.
