Huckabee: Don't worry FL, I'm coming

How come Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee didn't have more of a presence at Presidency IV, you ask? "A hundred thousand bucks so I could make a 10-minute speech (Saturday)? That wouldn't be a good investment on my part...It's not that we don't want to be here, but we know before we get to Mickey Mouse land we've got to get through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I want to be wearing those mouse ears in Florida come election time, but I've got some prerequisites before I get here."

Now There Is a Conservative

And this is the man who raised his hand when asked "Who does not believe in evoluation"

He is a goody two-shoes who does not stand a chance.

He is the last great white hope of the crazy Christian Conservatives.

And thank goodness that he is their last gasp.

Finally, their craziness will be over and done with.

631 is the one who raised his hand when asked "who does not have a formal education"

it is "evolution" not "evoluation"???!!!???

Mickey Mouse land??? Dude you just lost my vote. My president has to be a little more presidential than that.

Giuliani vincera en anno 2008.

to 641:

You president has to be more presidential?

so this means you can not vote for Rudy (he dresses in drag)

and Mitt (he is inhumane to his dog)

He couldn't vote for Hillary Clinton either because she has no qualifications other than having stayed married to Bill.

Please don't come. Stick with your evangelical extremeist faction. Floridians are not extremeist. Go back home.

6:31 he believes in Creation...do you?

Now There Is a Candidate who can't beat Clinton

643 Correct they are out too.

645 I am not counting Hillary out yet. I many cross party lines to vote for her.

extremist is spelled extremist.

Huckabee is the only candidate that can beat clinton. Thompson is a dudd, Romney is a waffle, Giuliani forces 14% of the country to vote third party, and McCain is too hawkish...

[Florida for Huckabee]

Florida Republicans were awakened to Gov. Huckabee's campagin on Sunday night at the debate. Many are now realizing there is another viable fiscal and social conservative they can support. http://floridaforhuckabee.blogspot.com

Sadly… due to our morbid manifestation into a political structure that values dollar signs more than character and ability… second, or even third tear candidates do not get the coverage they should.

I’ve watched all of the debates both D & R… and as a Democrat, if given the opportunity… my vote would go to Huckabee.

alright, now he's said one too many "cutesy" things for me - not gonna get my vote.

Governor Huckabee is the only candidate that can beat Clinton. His beliefs have been consistent, his leadership has been proven. He isn't working to be the conservative candidate, he is the conservative candidate.

while i dislike re-posting, i think this current piece from TPM says it all!

is huckleberry a lyng idiot or think his mouthbreathing-supporters are?

"Mostest
I've sort of gotten tired of explaining that, no, the Founding Fathers actually weren't all born-agains and bible thumpers. Not hardly. (Probably better to say that the great majority ranged from believers in an entirely impersonal God -- Deists -- to believing Christians who nonetheless viewed popular religious enthusiasm with a polite and paternal disdain.) But presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governoer Mike Huckabee, himself a Baptist minister, actually told a crowd yesterday that "most" of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were "clergymen."

As these folks at Politifact.com point out, one out of 56 were clergymen.

It's a creative definition of 'most'.

--Josh Marshall"

ONE OUT OF FIFTY-SIX!

a mucking foron, or what??!!??!!

I wish we could all be as smart as 10:03. I only had to read through the post 4 times to understand the gibberish you posted. If you're going to critique someone's intelligence, at least have the decency to do it with well formed, well thought out sentences.

we wish u were, 2, 10:29, the it would be clear to you that huckleberry made up a FACT.

thats all...he LIED!!

ONE out of FIFTYSIX signers is not MOST, even for someone who believes falsely that the Holy Scriptures are inerrent!

damn!!

can we bottle that stoopidity??

Actually, 27 of the founding fathers were ordained ministers. What is more extreme...Huckabee's belief that God created Heaven and Earth or your belief that God did not?

apparently we can't bottle up "stoopidity" 1150, you're still speaking.

11:50 is a my space moron.

when even the Heritage Foundation cant bail out huckleberry, you do have a TRUTHINESS issue, dont you?

Not even close.

Only one of the 56 was an active clergyman, and that was John Witherspoon. Witherspoon was a Presbyterian minister and president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).

A few more of the signers were former clergymen, though it's a little unclear just how many. The conservative Heritage Foundation said two other signers were former clergymen. The religion web site Adherents.com said four signers of the declaration were current or former full-time preachers. But everyone agrees only Witherspoon was an active minister when he signed the Declaration of Independence.

One issue that may contribute to the confusion about which signers had a history in the clergy is that during the time the Declaration was written, people who studied at universities often received doctorates of divinity, a common degree designation, even if they were not working clergy, said Mary Jenkins of the Independence National Historical Park. As for religious affiliations, all of the signers were Protestant Christians with one exception, Charles Carroll of Maryland, who was Roman Catholic.

We'd like to give Huckabee every benefit of the doubt, but even if you consider former clergymen among the signers the best you could come up with is four. Out of 56. That's not "most," that's Pants-on-Fire wrong.

12:31?
hows come there are TWO very different and distinct creation stories (esp. when you read them in the original hebrew!!)in genesis?

couldnt god make up his mind which on is true?

florida is more than just the home to an imaginary rat.

please give the candidate some new talking points.
