    It's entirely laughable to consider this article meritous. How can the author consider this argument viable? The two statements noted here are, quite obviously, factual. The author even states it. This "factcheck.org" arrticle states that both overall crime was lower and that Huckabee lowered taxes 90 times. How can they publish an author who verifies the facts of the statements and then claim the statements are false? It's ridiculous. Never once has Huckabee stated that he permanently lowered violent crimes, or that the net amount of taxes was lower when he left office than when he entered it. He is completely truthful and has been thus far. Quit allowing editorial articles like this publication as if they were factual.

    I don't know where you're from, but you don't know Christians well at all. I could care less if he was a pastor in the past, a Baptist one at that (my faith). All these half-truths and undisclosed facts makes him look like a Democrat rather than a Republican. Anyone within my earshot will have the facts about Mr. Huckabee. I do agree with you on one point; there will be those out there that are ignorant to the facts and will vote for him.
    But you're just as gullible as they are for actually believing that all Christians will vote for him just because he was once a pastor. By the way, they are sinners just like the rest of us.

    Counting on evangelicals to shoo him into office is Huckabee"s plan. They are gullible to the half truths and outright lies of anyone who claims to be a pastor or spokesman of God. You have only to look at Jim Baker, Jimmy Sweigart and that gay guy from Colorado to realize they are easily conned. They never let facts get in the way of belief.
