The Huckabee Factor

Why is it that when we discuss the rise of Huckabee, no one mentions that his popularity has more to do with the Fair Tax than any other issue? If any of the other candidates would come out in favor of the Fair Tax, they could win some of Huckabee's support.

Anyone who thinks Huckabee has a chance at the nomination better take a look at this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDUQW8LUMs8. While I find it entertaining that Huckabee and Chuck Norris have teamed up, I think this is political suicide for Huckabee.

The man might as well be a polished Pat Robertson. I suppose its pretty easy to believe the article made such little mention of Ron Paul, a man the oldest and youngest of my extended family have united behind. No mention of the signs or supporters, the planes or the yacht pimping his image. The establishment just refuses to see that the emperor is, to his great humiliation, wearing no clothes.

Religious zealots, meaning formalized religion zealots, are a most-intolerant bunch. Personally, I don't want someone who wraps themselves in religiosity at the expense of true spirituality. The latter is without all the pomp, bureaucracy, pedophiles and financial ties that in a sense equating to "you're only as accepted to the degree you tithe, conform and shut up.

This country was founded by a bunch of wealthy fat cats who no longer wished to pay taxes to King of England. They were slave owners who had extramarital affairs with their 'property', resulting in b a s t a r d children. I hardly think their religious beliefs are relevant. In any event, religion was the 'science' of their day and now that we actually have the fantastic world of science to prove/disprove various theories the only reason for religion is to divide the people.

Ron Paul has my vote. I'm a youth pastor, a christian and want someone I can trust. Paul is pro life, for limited government, he will protect oour borders and bring value back to our dollar. Check his support on myspace, youtube and his website, www.ronpaul2008.com

There is no denying he has a stronger following than the polls are showing. Many of the people voting for him have never voted before or not in a long time and those people don't get called by the pollsters.

Huckabee lied many times during the debate. I was at work watching with a dozen people and everyone caught it.

Ron Paul? between him and Kucinich, one beieves in flying saucers and one did pilot a flying saucer.

A person of faith brings alot to the table as far as the presidency. I would trust a leader like Huckabee because of the qualities one gains through faith in God...broad worldview, compassion, ability to forgive others, can admit mistakes and submit to a higher power, always seeking to better oneself. Don't you think a President can lead the country better by asking the One who rules it all for help???

It was clear that the media was trying to appear as though they were promoting Giuliani, as Huckabee was trying to copy Ron Paul's platform. They asked Ron Paul the fewest of questions because they are afraid of him since he is for the best interest of the American people. The media was trying to make us think they are promoting Guiliana while they are really promoting Huckabee. We are smarter than that. Furthermore, I think the media is rigging the debate polls to make it look as though Huckabee won. Everyone I talk to (and, I live in a large apartment complex) still likes Ron Paul; in fact, after seeing how he was treated by CNN, they like him even more now.

eugestel - "I am sorry for that contributor who has even gone to the extent of refering to his leader as an IDIOT."

I feel sorry for all Americans and the Iraqis too because we have a C student (read IDIOT) for a president.

Look at the history of our country and how it was founded on God, and how we were blessed because of it. Just because a person says they are "religious" doesn't mean they are in tune with God and doing what He wants to do. It's not religion that has made our country strong it is a relationship with God and doing what He wants us to do that has made us the leader of all nations in such a short amount of time.

I like Huckabee because he is a Christian and will not go against any Christian principles that I believe in.
He's no dummy and he's honest and shrewd in handling non-believers.

Having a man of God for president is just what Americans need. Maybe he will put some morals back into the White House and not spend his time trying to hide affairs from his wife while Terrorist plan our demise. All good things are from the Lord and having a man of the Lord in office is even better.
