Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/08/2011 12:58:48 PM
Was more that he was occasionally an ass about some of his beliefs. I remember liking him well enough when it all started up, and then having a couple of wake-up moments during debates/interviews, etc.

I'm OK with a President who believes the planet is 6000 years old as long as he doesn't require the schools to teach that. With Romney, you just... don't know. Will we get the gun controlling NARAL donor who signed a law requiring health insurance and raised taxes to balance the MA budget and get an improved S&P rating? Or will we get the pro-life, gun loving "lifelong hunter" (who's never had a hunting license) who condemns both the Obamacare copy of his own healthcare legislation and raising federal taxes to get an improved S&P rating? But that's the kind of behavior I expect from senior leaders of the Mormon church; when asked about his religious beliefs, Huckabee declared them and said he wouldn't try to legislate them, but when Romney is asked he shakes his head sadly at religious prejudice and changes the subject, like all senior Mormon leaders. That's unnerving enough in an organization actively seeking increased control of banking, industry, education and government, but when one of its leaders is running for President the fact he's a walking talking question mark worries me greatly.

Bummer, I liked him. *NM* - 14/08/2011 07:23:42 PM 328 Views
I've never really gotten to know him... which kind of says enough. - 14/08/2011 07:35:40 PM 757 Views
That pretty much sums it up I think - 14/08/2011 07:44:12 PM 713 Views
Yep. - 14/08/2011 08:26:17 PM 780 Views

Apparently Super Tuesday won't be quite as super this time. - 14/08/2011 08:49:40 PM 754 Views
I think Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain are awesome. You should consider them *NM* - 14/08/2011 09:25:55 PM 363 Views
You're bordering on troll - 14/08/2011 11:37:37 PM 734 Views
Yes, Aisha is every bit as batsh!t as Bachmann or Palin..... - 15/08/2011 04:36:05 AM 693 Views
I agree. Grow up a bit Aisha. *NM* - 15/08/2011 07:39:49 AM 318 Views
About fucking time. Now if we could just get Santorum to drop, too. - 14/08/2011 09:28:53 PM 745 Views

bachman is gonna be the vice presidential nominee for either Perry or Romney - 15/08/2011 04:22:33 AM 718 Views
funny that I only see liberals making an issue of his religion *NM* - 15/08/2011 05:13:03 AM 340 Views
It's a clumsy attempt to poison the well - 15/08/2011 05:59:26 AM 650 Views
For the record, I'm not trying to poison any wells. - 15/08/2011 09:54:53 AM 744 Views
I think the deal with Huckabee - 15/08/2011 07:21:08 PM 698 Views
Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them. - 16/08/2011 12:58:48 PM 744 Views
I find that highly unlikely. - 15/08/2011 02:47:35 PM 809 Views
I agree with you. *NM* - 15/08/2011 03:08:35 PM 275 Views
Also, it is very likely that Palin will not enter..... - 14/08/2011 09:58:48 PM 741 Views
Your analysis of Perrys effect seems dead on to me. - 15/08/2011 12:28:42 AM 753 Views
besides the fact that they both have west Texas accents what similarites? - 15/08/2011 01:59:45 AM 717 Views
By the way, why did Kay B Hutch run against him in the primary election? - 15/08/2011 03:43:52 AM 688 Views
there was a perception that he was vulnerable - 15/08/2011 04:48:41 AM 816 Views
He was vulnerable, he only won in 06 with 39 percent of the vote *NM* - 15/08/2011 01:14:43 PM 330 Views
KBH ran a terrible campaign - 15/08/2011 02:14:48 PM 650 Views
I have to agree with the take that it's symptomatic of a larger problem. - 14/08/2011 10:23:02 PM 746 Views
There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel. - 14/08/2011 11:13:36 PM 759 Views
