whats the issue with Huckster that mainstream is having a problem with.
Money may or may not carry the day. Romeny has more than anyone on the R side and he is getting beat by a broke arkansas governor.

Huckabee as Governor, raised taxes several times and worked to give illegals, legal ID cards.

On Abortion, he is the only really solid Pro-Life candidate.

Has anyone seen this? I don't know much about the man, but this was very impressive to me, it's not every day when you see a politician refuse to duck a polarizing issue. FYI, my political affiliation is smack-dab in the middle of "I don't have a clue." I'm a recovering republican.

It is Huckabee regarding creation and evolution. I should say I am recovering from politics in general. Color me EXTREMELY disillusioned.

I am not sure I will even vote this time around, as none of them have won my vote yet.

He does duck Blitzer's follow up about the 6 day creation. He sounded sincere but I would feel more comfortable with a president who understood the natural world and didn't say things like, "I don't know... I wasn't there..."

We know he wasn't there, but did he show up for geology or biology classes in college?

Yes he did raise taxes on retail items, but lowered taxes on income.
That is his overall tax plan, to lower your wage taxes way down and just have a set tax on retail items. You get to keep all of your paycheck and just pay taxes when you purchase something. Wonder how well it works?
We are enjoying a 1.3 billion dollar surplus. Of course we have a Democrat for governor now so that will be gone in a year or so.

As for the creation question I thought that was kind of dumb really. What does his views on creation have to do with his political ability to be president? How come nobody asked Hillary what she believed concerning creation? Guess Gore created everything right before he created the internet. I Blitzer was asking a religious or moral question in a political setting just to put him on the spot. Here is a thought, lets ask Hillary how she feels concerning lying and cheating or adultry.

One small comment...has there ever been an APOSTOLIC PENTECOSTAL President?

What difference does the denomination make? False doctrine is false doctrine. They are being elected to run our NATION not our church.

What does their record say, and do they know the difference between STATE jurisdiction and FEDERAL jurisdiction, and have they ever even READ the CONSTITUTION?

Or will they hire people like this:

On Oct. 23, Donald Kerr, deputy director of the Office of National Intelligence, outlined the new order of things: "Too often, privacy has been equated with anonymity; and it's an idea that is deeply rooted in American culture." Well, yes, the Bill of Rights, for instance, includes protections against "search," as well as "seizure." But that was then. As Kerr put it, "In our interconnected and wireless world, anonymity - or the appearance of anonymity - is quickly becoming a thing of the past."

I would disagree. Ron Paul has been an Obstetrician, delivered thousands of babies, and is staunchly against abortion. But he knows the difference between State and Federal Law and who has jurisdiction where. A President does not have the authority to make abortion illegal nationally. As EVIL as it is, the STATE's are the ones that need to stop it, not the Feds.

Candidates can make all the statements and promises they want, but in the long run, do they actually have the ability to keep them legally?

well, as prolife as RP is, I dont consider him a Republican running for president. He is a Liberatarian running for president and he and I have the same chance of getting elected...(thank God.)
