“What does this have to do with Huckabee losing his bid for president?”

It’s a reminder that God is still in control, and the success of America still depends on His help.

Yes...and while you’re there BOTH of your sons need to lose weight and join the military. It’s time for the Huckabee family to get off the sidelines, show up and join the fight.

Nope just DIsgust at another conservative with no record of support for Reagan, no record of family support for the military, and in this case a record of using a wedding vow renewal as a vehicle to furnish his home.

God is always in control but he allows us to make mistakes. Remember King Saul? God knew Saul’s heart did he not? Yet he let the Israelite people make Saul their king.

“The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs the affairs of man [Romans 8:28]. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice [Matthew 10:29], is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it [Psalms 127:1]. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel [Genesis 11:1-9].”

—Benjamin Franklin, arguing the need for prayer at the Constitutional Convention


When one’s Party has been hijacked and one’s Country seems to have misplaced the moral compass which was its reason for creation and existence, one cannot raise the bar higher or more appropriately than to recall such Founding thoughts as that.

STELLAR quote, thanks for posting it.

Many of the delegates the MSM counts include were guesstimates based upon the beauty contest held. They also neglect the rules in Michigan that when Romney suspended, his delegates automatically became uncommitted. This is a much more accurate site than what the media uses to push their points.

Thanks. I’m sad that I will never get to post that again. It’s some of my best work.

“...using a wedding vow renewal as a vehicle to furnish his home.”

Huck is the all-time freeloading cheapskate. As long as it’s not his money, anything is game (including extending elections in which he has no hope of winnning.)

Huckabee did well IMO, he and Ron Paul were the surprises of this campaign season, both took clear positions, ran unorthodox campaigns, and based their stands on personal convictions.

Huck and Paul may represent more rank and file Conservative Republican thought then McCain or Romney did, I wonder if TPTB were paying attention?

The Huckabee family has been in the fight all along:

I don’t know. It looks terrible.

Bash Huckabee all you want, but now we are stuck with John McCain.

Of course.

Of course.
