Do you really want a silly flat-earther for president?

You know, you are using here the exact same type of rumor and innuendo spreading tactic that people are complaining about in politics these days.   And even stooping so low as to engage in name-calling too.   Do you really think that folks will not see through this tactic?

Which specific debate are you referring to?  I am not aware of any Republican debate asking for a show of hands on this question, as you have described here in your message.

Why don't you try to debate the election on some real issues, like the economy, taxes, gun control, the war in Iraq, or immigration??

Jimmy Carter is just as much a devoutly religious Baptist as Huckabee is.   And I don't recall his religious beliefs ever being attacked in the 1976 campaign, either by fellow Democrats during the primary, or by Republicans in the general election.  In fact, I don't know of a single decision that Carter made as President that was influenced by his religious beliefs.

Do you??  If so, please name them.

Yet, don't let his soft-spoken ways fool you....the man can play hard-ball when he has to.  Just ask Jim Guy Tucker, former governor of the state, one of those convicted of corruption in the Whitewater scandal, who had to resign from office, and who toyed with the idea of staying anyway.  Huckabee mobilized the press and public opinion and the powers of the state government to lever the man from office, and made him look like a rank amateur politician in the process.

Let's see here, you are blaming Huckabee for Tucker's White Water criminal problems?   That is so ridiculous.  And State law in Arkansas does not allow for convicted felons to serve.   For Tucker to have fought against that was a clearly losing battle for him to wage.   The public would never have supported him staying, with or without Huckabee's efforts.

Tucker only had himself to blame for his downfall.   For you to use this issue to attack Huckabee only shows how very desperate you are to bad-mouth the man.

Well, I must admit that I don't use youtube much at all, and did not even think to check it for info, as I obviously should have done.   I now see there are all sorts of video clips available there for download.

But you know, the whole question is really irrelevant, and that is part of my argument here.  I'm sure that Jimmy Carter would have responded the very same way in that situation if he had faced it in the 1976 campaign.   And you know, these sorts of questions are not even being put to the Democratic candidates in their debates.   I wonder why that is?   If this is such an important issue that we need to know in order to base our selection for President, then why not put it to them as well?

Both Edwards and Obama have made much during their campaigns about their strong religious beliefs and backgrounds, and they claim to be men of faith.   So if this issue really was relevant, it would be asked of them, as well as the Republicans.

When I went into YouTube to view this, I also found these follow up comments by Huckabee here, where he was actually able to explain his position on this subject:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-BFEhkIujA&feature=related

And to expand on Huckabee's remarks in the video above, just how will his beliefs affect his role as President?   He made in clear in his remarks that he is not going to try to change any scientific textbooks in school.

The clip you posted is again what I consider to be a dirty tactic.   For it really does not give Huckabee any chance to really explain his views, as the clip I have provided the link to does.  At least it gives Huckabee a chance to explain his beliefs.

So again, I say that people are using very underhanded tactics in attacking Huckabee.   And that video you referred to here is another such example.

If you cannot fault or debate Huckabee on any actual real issue that our nation is currently facing, then that really says a lot about you.

If you want to criticize him over issues like the war in Iraq, the housing financial crisis, outsourcing jobs overseas, gun control, abortion rights, energy policies, education, or immigration, that is all fair game and appropriate.

But this other stuff is totally bogus junk, and not real issues.  It is mud slinging.

As I gun owner, I find Huckabee very friendly.  McCain, Romney, and Giulani are all in favor of a new federal "Assault Gun" ban, as are all of the Democratic candidates.   The only Republicans against it are Ron Paul and Huckabee.   And I sure as heck will never vote for Ron Paul.

Guess I could always abstain.

Nah.  Don't abstain.  Write in Stephen Colbert.  

[Chairboy]

Sig220, when you say it's underhanded, are you talking about Mr. Huckabee raising his hand?  Or was it the impoliteness of the cameraman who recorded him stating that he doesn't believe in evolution?  A note, I just used Google to find the clip when you mentioned you hadn't seen it, I figured you'd want the available facts.

Either way, I've already stated here that I don't think it's important if a candidate subscribes to evolution or not, it's a scientific issue, not a political one.  My requirement is that a candidate use scientists for scientific issues, economists for economic issues, etc.  A preacher wouldn't care for me telling him how to interpret the bible, I would expect that a non-scientist president would return the favor likewise to a scientist.

But thank you for your thorough reply.

This is the only appropriate answer for a silly "Raise your hand" quetion....

Thompson won't raise hand at debate.

I saw that the other day and noticed all the participants seemed to be in full agreement with him. Who the hell picked those questions anyhow? Hillary?

[Shaky]

You expect anything different from the Drive By Media?

And yes...the "other" candidates seemed in full agreement....AFTER Fred had the balls to basically tell the media ***** "I aint doing that silly thing".

Go Fred!

[AKIron]

I like Fred but it doesn't look like he has much chance in taking the nomination.
