Comments on: Suddenly A Contender, Huckabee Scrambles

Despite Shooting To The Top Of The Polls, GOP Hopeful Is Still Running Like A Long Shot

With ever post you make here, you just get dumber and more arrogant and intolerant of anybody "not just like you" - for we now see that you are perfect, just like Jesus. OMG, deliver us and deliver me from your ilk.

And, BTW, I am a Christian who actually loves people, gives them their right to decide for themselves what they believe. You push me, Mr./Mrs. Connie - and I guarantee you I will push back, this time for the good and not hateful way you see things/people. May God bless you, for IMO you most certainly need it.

You know I have been generally more to the GOP side of the equation over the years. Lately I have been thinking that Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who may really get it and undertands the meaning of the phrase "We the people....." I know he is a bit odd and once saw a UFO but ok...that aside...what other candidate for President really believes that we can and should take our country back.

Neoconnie:
Religion is a wonderful thing to some people, but I must remind you, not all people in he United States are Christian. I happen to be a Christian, but I am not Religious. I treat others as I want to be treated and do not push my beliefs/faith on anyone. Just imagine if the majority of people in the United States were of another faith than you, would you want them to push that on you? I bet not. I do not believe religion should play a role in politics. I believe morals, and setting an example for others should be a guideline when making a decision regarding the next president. My vote is for Ron Paul.

neoconnie.... What really scares me the most is that you are not alone in your thought process. My fervent prayer is that the rest of the country is beyond that!

I agree with Drivel somewhat. It makes no matter what religion somebody is as long as it isn''t Islam or the other bad ones. I don''t think Mormonism is one of the bad ones, especially since most of them stopped practicing polygamy.

The fact that Mr. Huckabee is a Baptist comforts me because I was at a Baptist convention last year where the participants carried signs or sold bumper stickers that said "Aids cures ***." This is consistent with Mr. Huckabee''s earlier statements regarding AIDS, and I think we need religios consistency in the White House.

I still think we should show Christian compassion to those who are doomed due to their own sins, like liberal Democrats and other patients with horrible diseases they brought upon themselves.

My mother is a pastor. I asked her about religion in politics the other day, and she repeated Jesus''s words about "render unto Caeser." Jesus would never run for president. His kingdom wasn''t on earth. And he would certainly never convert anyone over the barrel of a gun. Such thinking is diametrically opposed to his teachings and his ministry. Any professed Christian who thinks this way is a pretender and a liar.

Neoconnie, JMO but I do not believe I have ever heard more stupid comments (and arrogant, holier-than-thou) than you have made here.

A national religion? OMG, help us all. There went freedom. You honestly think you can legislate to me, or anybody for that matter, becoming a southern Baptist, Bible thumping, evangelical nutcase? Should I begin to shake and shiver, then roll on the floor when that "Spirit" hits me? Well, trust me, I am shaking right now just to think anybody in their mind - or religion - could be this, to be nice, "out of it?"

Great movie demonstrating religious hysteria: The Mist. Even if you''re not a horror/fiction fan, go see this movie. You''ll discover the scariest monster isn''t outside in the mist.

Oh and I do not mean to offend any Christians...I was brought up in a Christian family and many of my friends and family are of the Christian faith. My Gods are love and compassion and, to me, it is that simple really.

I would like to know if Huckaboom believes in evolution? Evolution is not just a ''theory'' it is a well established scientific theory. The difference is that it is falsifiable. It could be proven wrong and has not been yet despite many brutal attempts by the religious right and others to bury it. The ''Theory'' of Evolution is as close to fact as you will ever get in this world. Do we need a President who believes in ancient religious mythology and endtime gobldygook or do we need a leader who can see the beauty of what really is. Did God create man in his image or did man create God in his image? Much of the world is not Christian and it is time that we put aside our hubristic blief that we are the chosen people. All people are chosen through the remarkable process of evolution and natural selection. We need to grow up as a species. We''ve done the evangelical Christian already let''s not head back in that direction. Those are my personal feelings about it.
