December 15, 200718 yr Here's the Link If you've been following along the GOP race, you've probably heard Mike Huckabee tout the fact that he is the only GOP candidate with a Theology degree, suggesting that it would help him in dealing with the Islamofacsist threat and when answering the very relevant youtube debate question about believing in the Bible. So naturally, the media, when interviewing him, decided to tap that deep reservoir of religious knowledge and ask him a question about Mormonism. The rest has basically become history. Huckabee (IMHO) feigned ignorance while attempting to disguise a pretty standard anti-Mormon smear as an innocent question after saying that he "thinks it's a religion". Turns out that to defend Huckabee's feigned ignorance his campaign is acknowledging that he doesn't have a theology degree, having dropped out of seminary after a year.
December 15, 200718 yr Dr. Paul was a gynecologist. And he saved a baby from drowning once. :deadhorse
December 16, 200718 yr Dr. Paul was a gynecologist. And he saved a baby from drowning once. I heard it was three.
December 16, 200718 yr Author Wow, 4 replies and not one is even on topic.... and I thought it would be impossible to know how to write without knowing how to read.
December 16, 200718 yr And they think the Ron Paul people spam Ron Paul too much?? This thread had nothing to do with Paul yet somehow.... I guess that is a good thing.
December 16, 200718 yr I guess huckabee did not read the parts of the Bible that said "let your yes be yes and your no be no." To be honest, I used to think Huckabee was a honest guy whose positions I hated. Now, he's just proving himself to be a dishonest crook like the vast majority of politicians.
December 16, 200718 yr Yeah, that's the irony of the situation. The Ron Paul haters are equally obnoxious to even some of the most radical supporters. Attacking smugness by being smug? Way to prove a point, guys. Without smugness, I've pretty much got nothing.

December 18, 200718 yr ?When Fascism Comes, It Will Be Wrapped In A Flag, and Carrying a Cross? Being that Chritians are warned of false christians among their ranks (1 John 2:18), they should be especially vigilant of the likes of Huckabee who lies even about the simplest things.
December 18, 200718 yr I'm not so sure he's a fascist so much as a religious fundamentalist theocrat who would erode the separation of church and state to the point where it would no longer exist.

I am going to assume you are being facetious, but it is a quote from a pulitzer prize winning book. The right wing in this country has historically been tied to religion. Furthermore, Hitler claimed to be a faithful Christian to his advantage.

On the one hand he's a good public speaker, but on the other he lies about a lot of things. Unfortunately, considering how close it is to the Iowa caucuses, I don't think Huckabee can lose Iowa at this point.

OT: It turns out that the quote is a popular misattributed quote, sort of like "beam me up, scotty."
