1. Mike, you also approved of paroling a convicted rapist because you thought he was unfairly convicted by Govenor Clinton. Despite the objections of psychologists. Despite the objections of prison officials who swore that he would rape and kill again. Just like a certain other 'faith guided politician' believed we'd be seen as saviors by the iraqis.

Here is why I don't like Huckabee's principles. I understand that there always have been and always will be people guided by articles of faith. I don't like it, but I understand it and I can only hope that they err on the side of doing the least damage. But ol' Huckabee strikes me as the kind of person who believes in his principles so much that he thinks they should be made into law. Now I don't like christianity. I would love it if every christian kept it in the church and home and I didn't have to see it anywhere else I feel it didn't belong. But I understand that just because I don't like it doesn't justify legislation against it. It's not enough to not like stuff. If it were reality TV would be a capital offense in my book. There has to be a legal legitimacy behind it. And religious opinion simply isn't enough.

So ultimately, I don't like hucklebee for the same reason I don't like Bush. I think that both men place their principles so above reality that they can cause very real harm to those that fall outside or contrary to those principles. I think that once he has something in his head that he accepts it as good and right and doesn't ask the question: is it right to apply my principle to all Americans?

2. Huckabee takes batshit insanity to a whole new level. For example, here he is being a fine, blasphemous pseudo-christian talking to "god" on his cellphone:

Aside from that, he's stated time and time again that his main goal is to turn America into a theocracy full of his fellow blasphemous asshats who who wouldn't know real faith if it bit them on their empty heads.

Of course, I love how Christians, in their blind bigotry, apologize for this twit as he continually and openly declares his intent to destroy what remains of the U.S. Constitution.

Huckabee should be tried for sedition rather than campaign for public office. The guy's nothing but a god-soaked maniac.

3. Leave it to two doctrinaire anti-Christian bigots to confuse the issue by interjecting all sorts of fanciful, unsupported assertions into the discussion: Dan's hysterical warnings about Mike Huckabee turning America into a theocracy is the same ridiculous nonsense we heard about GW Bush and guess what, folks? We still have the same political system we started out with when Bush was inducted in 2000: a constitutional Republic. What a disappointment.

It's amazing how we're not allowed to call, the people who are blowing themselves up to kill others islamo-fascists. But apparently you can make any sort of wild-eyed claim about evangelicals and that's just peachy. Somber, Mike Huckabee has a big heart and he may have pardoned some folks he shouldn't have, but if you folks are going to rip the man for pardoning some prisoners, when does GW Bush, also a Christian, get congratulated for executing a bunch of murderers when he was the Governor of Texas? Logical consistency. What a concept.

Unfortunately, folks who are as mad as you two seem to be are going to have trouble with that idea because it's hard to think straight when you're madder than a wet hen.

4. Who said I was mad, Dave? I'm just pointing out that the last thing America needs is another god-soaked retard in the White House whose agenda is based more upon the "Wedge Document" than actually adhering to the Constitution.

What Huckabee is too dense to realize is that Christianity and the Bible (as well as ALL personal religions and their respective texts) are woefully, and dangerously, antithetical to the notion of freedom and the existence of a supposedly free nation, and using those foolishly archaic beliefs to guide one's decisions will only end in disaster (as we have seen as a result of Bush's perpetual streak of failures).

Now, Dave, you can sit there on your little thumbs and pretend that Christians haven't been attempting to gain more and more control in our nation's Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches, but you'd only be part of the problem, and in doing nothing, you are willfully condoning actions which can only be seen as an outright coup designed to de-legitimize the U.S. Constitution and replace it with a foolish monotheistic religion. And this nation is designed to grant equal power and respect to each and every belief.

Yet Christians, in their immense greed and treason, perpetually strive to overstep these boundaries. And when they are called on it, they wail and blubber about persecution. Yet, it is a well-deserved persecution in that they deserve no more than any other belief in this country.

Two weeks ago, Huckabee stated that he intends to take this nation "back" for Jesus. If that is not a call to overrun the rights of all who aren't a Christian, then what the hell is it, Dave? Do you believe it's a statement designed to enforce the equality America was built upon?

Aside from that, Dave, Huckabee, in his "big heart" is directly culpable in the rape and murder of two women. He pardoned a murderer contrary to the advice of more learned, qualified and experienced individuals than himself, and he did so for no other reason than to try to make the Clintons look bad. To say he did it out of the "kindness of his big heart" is comically spurious and actually an outright lie.

Now, if it helps you sleep at night to think I'm mad, please, by all means, embrace that ignorance. But, you've addressed not one single argument in any way whatsoever, and you have subsequently nothing left to say to protect your little loon Huckabee but worthless ad hominem and tired, old non-sequiturs that barely reach the level of irrelevant gibberish.

So, start at the top, and work your way down. The arguments are there, and if you aren't capable of addressing any of them in a logical manner, then perhaps you should not be taking part in this discussion.

5. Hey Jeff,

Sorry, I don't have your email, but I thought you might find this little childish act on Huckabee's part kind of, umm, disgraceful?

The man has no integrity. None. He's just an empty, soulless, sleazy shell of a man pandering for votes, and in light of all his actions, you've seriously got to start to question the man's moral core, don't you?
