http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Huckabee

All you ever head about is Giuliani,, Romney, McCain and Thompson, and yet this guy has been in the lead in the lastest three polls.

These are some of his views:
* Huckabee opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil unions. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Huckabee said, "There?s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived."
* Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism." Huckabee also stated "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally." In the Third GOP Debate in June 2007, Huckabee was asked by Tom Fahey whether he believed in evolution, and he responded, in part: "I believe there is a God who was active in the creation process. Now, how did he do it, and when did he do it, and how long did he take? I don?t honestly know, and I don?t think knowing that would make me a better or a worse president." Huckabee's position is that acceptance of evolution is not relevant to being President.
* Huckabee supports the War in Iraq and the troop surge.
* In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population.
* In 1992, Huckabee said that "homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk." In 2007, his view that homosexuality is sinful and not normal has not changed.

Chortle. I love how that is worded.
 
Personally, I dont buy into redneck theory
 
If he's elected, then please America, nuke yourself for the good of the world.
 
dont forget "points at video games/hollywood for creating a nation of killer kids"

comments from amazon on Huckabee's book; Kids Who Kill: Confronting Our Culture of Violence,

The authors (Dr. George Grant collaborated with the governor) wisely explore the current splenetic forces at work throughout American culture from the breakdown of the family to Hollywood's repeated celebration of gratuitous violence. In one especially harrowing chapter the reader enters a perverse video game and sees just how much hate and violence is being peddled at American children.

he blames the demoralification of america faciliated by hollywood, music and video games

In the wake of such high profile crimes, gun control advocates always come out of the woodwork and criminal law changes are always debated. In his book, however, Gov. Huckabee argues that legislation is not the answer. He believes that such crimes by children are the result of a "demoralization of America" and asks that we all take a look at ourselves and our families for the answer.

"Violence, infidelity, mayhem, perversity, gore, betrayal, lust and disrespect have all been sanctified in music, television, movies and video games as necessary complements of a culture of self-fulfillment, self-absorption and self-realization," he says. "As we refuse to stand for morality, we easily fall into serving immorality."

man, i cant find a single issue this guy supports that i agree with
 
Now wouldn't it just be dire if the "choices" ended up being this idiot and Billary.

Ron Paul FTW.
 
I have this idea. Politicians are just worthless fixtures (at best) anyway, so why not nominate mentally challenged people and vote them into power? The rest of government could still have intelligent people...
 
He didn't know about the NIE report for ****s sake. The only reason that man is gaining is becuase he has a hardon for Jesus, and all the slant-browed, goose stepping, Bible thumpers want to suck his cock.
 
the religious right is pretty powerful, dont discount Huckabee just yet ..I mean bush may have won the last election cuz they tagged a same sex marriage bill onto the ballot in some states .. the religious right came out in droves to vote ...huckabee may be a religious nut but he knows how to play to that demographic

Well put. The religious right is still a far more powerful force in America than the "atheist left" if such a thing exists.

We've already tried that.
 
While Huckabee has some insane beliefs, he does seem honest unlike most politicians. His name is too stereotypically redneck

If I were an America I'd want Ron Paul to win.
 
Ron Paul is a Moron.

If you guys hate isolation, why vote for him?

Have you not listened to him in the last few debates about giving the WTO more money. World trade oginazation is strict as hell, why would he want them?

isolationist i say.
 
See, THIS is why I hate the electoral college system.

It gives all those obese, redneck fanatics in those low-population states between the coasts FAR more say, vote per vote, on who gets to be president.

State power has its place, and I understand why the Senate is necessary to maintain it, but Presidential elections are a national decision, and really ought to be decided by popular vote. It bothers me when a group that makes up something like 30-40% of the national population has such a huge influence on its policies.
 
Another douchebage among the crowd of douchebags.

He's a non-interventionist, not an isolationist.

So, let me get this straight, our two choices are either to give a country aid or bomb them? Actually, history shows that there is a third option which is to subsidize them and then bomb them!

Also, he's consistent in his case against managed trade which includes the WTO.

No, you're the moron, sorry.
 
He also plans on merging canada and mexico with the US.

Talk about many problems.
 
You don't know shit, rixil. Ron Paul does NOT want to merge Canada, the U.S. and Mexico into one nation, the current administration does and they're doing it completely without your consent. Ron Paul is adamantly opposed to the very thing you think he is supporting. Read about him and stop listening to the media--they discount Ron Paul every chance they get.
 
How can you like Ron Paul? Aside from being anti-globoalisation (and thus he doesn't want the economy to grow) he is anti-abortion, so nationalistic it makes me sick and contradicts himself when it comes to his stance on same sex marriage.

Go go Obama. I agree with everything he says except his stance on the death penalty.

Also, at Moto-x_Pat, the current admiistration doesn't want to merge canada, mexico and the US into one nation at all. The NAU is simply a free trade/free movement agreement, like the EU.

He has stated that his personal views are pro-life and not in favour of same sex marriage, but his policy is to give those decision to the the states not the federal government. That's not hypocritical at all, his position is to limit the role of the American federal government.
 
Through perverse court decisions and years of cultural indoctrination, the elitist, secular Left has managed to convince many in our nation that religion must be driven from public view. The justification is always that someone, somewhere, might possibly be offended or feel uncomfortable living in the midst of a largely Christian society, so all must yield to the fragile sensibilities of the few. The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity.

- Ron Paul

http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul148.html

Ron Paul is a Christian radical, we don't need another one of those in the White House.
 
Yeap. That's why I don't dig Ron Paul.

http://atheism.about.com/b/2007/08/...paul-on-churchstate-separation-secularism.htm

His stance about the Iraq war seems to be what gets people attracted to him. That's certainly understandable, but there's a lot of bad shit with him that people don't realize.

Paul's talk about state rights is all well and good up until you realize it's with the aim of eroding secularism and putting the power back in Church. He's not all bad. His position on drug law enforcement is sane. But I don't think a lot of people really understand the implications of what he wants.

In regards to states rights, it will allow conservative/Christian states to be more conservative/Christian, but that is the will of the people in those states.

TBH **** the will of the people if they're going to push backward agendas that effect everybody negatively. For instance, I don't care if most people in Texas support anti-sodomy laws, because they're discriminatory, unfair, needless, and immoral.

Enabling states rights to the extent Ron Paul wants would be effectively turning over half of America to the Church.
 
What Absinthe says. The states should have to comply to universal education standards, same sex marriage etc, regardless of what they think. Why? Because people should be allowed to do what they freakin well want in private, whether it is polygamy, BDSM, homosexuality, whatever, regardless of what a bunch of inbred bible thumpers think.

The outcome of the election effects countries and people all over the world. So yes, I'm going to "tell you that". Even if the election was for a small country whose policies didn't directly effect countries on other continents, I still wouldn't want a non-secular leader in power there, as nothing good would come out of it. And when we're talking about the most powerful nation in history, I certainly think I'm allowed to have an opinion on its leadership.

That kinda depends on how you define power. I would say it is a gross exaggeration. The Roman Empire controlled more land mass and a larger percentage of the global population. And then, the power was more centralized when they had an emperor with absolute authority.

It isn't about particular issues, it's about who has the power to decide.

Would you be singing the same tune if the federal government enforced viewpoints that you disagreed with?

Centralisation of power is never a good thing. You can always choose not to live in Texas.
