I noticed you didn't bother denying you have little interest in voting for a Republican.

Whatever happened to voting on the issues and the platforms instead of just blindly following party lines?

Tell me, if a republican is nominated to the ticket who you find repugnant, you cannot endorse anything he says, and you're amazed that he's got the ticket, will you still vote for him just because he's Republican?

I am interested to see how much the liberal media pounces on this.  Democrats know that the only Republican Hillary can beat is Huckabee, and they need him to win the nomination.

This is probably the most inciteful post in this thread.

Our Founding Fathers where Christians but feared a State Church for good reason.  You don't want unelected officials in the Church controlling our Government, it's bad enough we have unelected big business and bank owners controlling it.

I'll vote for him if he wins the republican nomination.

I still favor Mitt.

[moot]

Frode - Because he can't win.. And that because everyone says he can't win.. Don't you get it?

Still liking Fred, shame he won't get the nomination.

I'm a christian and beleive that christianities principles make for a good moral foundation in your daily life. I beleive the framers of the constitution wrote it as a nondenominational document using thier christian moral compass as a benchmark for its ultimate test of equality to all mankind.

I can't help thinking that this statement by Huckabee coming from the mouth of Osama Benlauden wouldn't read like converting the constitution to Sharia law. But in a sectarian christian fouled up abortion of a way.

The jews were warned by God in King Davids era that wanting to be ruled by men has consiquences because men are imperfict. It impresses me that the constitution was an attempt at a set of rules to counter this problem and to not insult God by thinking we are capable of using his word in documents to force men to obey men. Islam through the Quran does that with Sharia Law.

I would be far more interested to see how the conservative media, the one that acknowledges the sanctity of the Constitution yet has the most to gain from a republican candidate, reports it.

Conservative media? You seem to suffer from the same affliction as Crockett--Republicans and Conservatives AREN'T the same thing. Bush isn't a conservative, HUCKABEE isn't a conservative. As a conservative, I can't fathom what I would have to gain from Huckabee, McCain, Or Rudy being elected, except to see the ideas Reagan ran on further crushed into the ground. ....The New Hampshire TEACHER'S UNION endorsed Huckabee, what more is there to know?

Anyone stop to think Huckabee is a shill for the Dems. Even the Dems are rooting for Huckie to get the party nod. With crap like this large numbers of fence sitters will vote Dem and concervitives will stay home.

Me to...and it is ashame.

Any of the big 4 I guess you could call them on the Republican side...will be great for the democrats.

It will be left...or far left.

Either way....Conservatives....TRUE conservatives...are screwed and I think for the rest of my time. This election will pretty much set the course IMHO for the next several years. Future doesnt look bright to me.

The democrats are more clear in their goals than are the republicans imo and they have a more committed base. However, I believe that most Americans are socially conservative and the republicans simply have to galvanize their base to vote. Huckabee could be that catalyst.
