I say the new Huckabee is wearing a disguise.

1. This is one of the most religion-obsessed countries on the earth.....
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 09:14 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
... and it has made me almost anti-religion. Why would a country want a religious person as their leader? EVER? I admire candidates that HIDE their religion or have none.

4. Read Goobers own words from his campaign site
From Goobers website

>>One of the greatest ongoing threats to our constitutional republic is the ever-increasing politicization of the federal judiciary. <<

That is exactly what the RW and Hickabee want to do.

>>Instead of interpreting the law according to its plain or original meaning, many judges are using the Constitution and statutes passed by Congress as a mere pretense for imposing their policy preferences on the American people. This is unacceptable. <<

Uh..”statutes passed by Congress” are called Laws!


>>I firmly believe that the Constitution must be interpreted according to its original meaning, and flatly reject the notion of a "living Constitution." <<

Guess he wants dead Constitution?

And that’s consistent with his notion of a constitutional amendment curtailing the rights of some, to get married?

>>Nor can vaguely-worded language in the Constitution be used by judges to give them power over subjects the framers never intended our founding document to address. <<


As such, any interpretation of the Constitution that is based on "evolving standards of decency," penumbras, or any other judicial fiction, is antithetical to the rule of law, and must be forcefully challenged.

Repeat: And that’s consistent with his notion of a constitutional amendment curtailing the rights of some, to get married?


>>As president, I will appoint justices and judges who not only share my judicial philosophy <<

How democratic of him–Not!

>>> but (also judges) who also have established themselves within the conservative legal community as faithful adherents of originalism and textualism.**

Originalism = code for fundamentalism
textualism = code for fundamentalism

** Except when: Repeat: And that’s consistent with his notion of a constitutional amendment curtailing the rights of some, to get married?
.

>>Finally, I wholeheartedly believe "that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be"; and I will do everything in my power as president to promote these cherished principles. <<

The separation of government does not of course, extend to separation of church and state.

5. You realize you're not going to be able to reason with whackos of that type.....
.... It's like trying to reason with sociopaths. The only way is to beware, keep them out of public office, and point out what a bunch of criminals they are.

6. Holy Sh*t!! His son is whacko.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Huckabee

"In the fourth quarter of 2007, Huckabee's 1998 dismissal as a counselor for the Boy Scouts was exposed.<13><14> Huckabee, then 17, had some level of involvement in the hanging of a stray dog.<13>

When an animal rights group sought records from the Arkansas state police they were denied. John Bailey, the then Police chief reported that "(Mike Huckabee's) chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request".<13> Mike Huckabee fired Bailey seven months later. In December 2007, during Huckabee's campaign for President, Bailey told Newsweek that the governor said at the time, "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job" and, "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem".<13>

Mike Huckabee vehemently denies the allegations made by Bailey.<13> Mike Huckabee insists his son did not engage in "intentional torture," and a campaign official said that he "'regrets' the incident".<13>

Arrest
Huckabee was arrested at 6AM,<15> on April 26, 2007, for attempting to board a plane departing from Little Rock, Arkansas with a loaded Glock handgun.<16> A misdemeanor charge was brought against him for "attempting to carry a gun in a prohibited place." Huckabee had a concealed-weapon permit at the time of the incident, but claimed he forgot about the weapon in his luggage. A Little Rock Police Lieutenant was quoted as saying, "It is not unusual for people to forget they have a gun in their carry-on luggage."<15> He entered a guilty plea with the court. <16>"-wkipedia

3. He is dangerous guy masquerading as a genial goober
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 09:43 PM by bluedawg12
it's also frightening that people can be fooled into voting for this guy, who has no no national level credentials, just because of their own selfish -self centered "our values" over allis vote.
