FLASHBACK: Mike Huckabee's Phone Call From God

Think Progress:

Last night at the CNN/YouTube debate, a questioner asked the candidates -- "who would call yourselves Christian conservatives" -- to answer what would Jesus do about the death penalty. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee jokingly responded, "Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office. That's what Jesus would do."

It was fitting that Huckabee be asked what Jesus thinks because, in the past, the former Baptist minister has asserted an ability to talk directly to God.

Uh, back to the subject at hand. Huckabee is, like the campaigning Geo. Bush, a very likeable and personable candidate. The fact that Neanderthals had more understanding of science than Mike is something to be ignored.

I wonder if/when our US Constitution is being shredded, do those Folks (who do the shredding) ever get a phone call from the Original Signers of the Constitution, telling them to "uphold and protect" the Constitution ?

Anybody can talk to God if they use the doorway!
Trouble is, it's usually a one way conversation!
But if you talk to the god of this world, well, that's a different situation, for that guy is just bubbling over with ideas and lies so outrageous they are believable.
And, for some uncanny reason, a lot of people find it much easier to believe a lie than the truth! This is the truth, but who would believe it?

Huckabee is a media darling for the short-term because he fits into the MSM's stereotypical molds they paint "right wingers" with.

Huckabee is out of money, and probably won't make it to the SC and WA primaries.

NO MORE of these idiots who claim a dialog with the Almighty.

Bush and his infamous rose garden chats with God and now a total fucking Jebus fly-out-your-butt anti-reality nutcase! Huckabee.

Others have written it but it must be repeated, the Fake Republican Party is totally INSANE!

He would clearly not respect the separation of church and state. And it's getting to the point where, in general, every time we put a Republican in office, not only don't we further ourselves in science but we tend to digress to almost barbaric proportions.

I suppose, Huckabee, by supporting the current President, that you support War, torture, corruption, continuing Global Warming, and talk of the apocalypse? Because that's where your 'God' has brought Bush.

We learned in school America has an open an liberal tradition towards every religion. But we learned too, politics and religion have to be separate. How come all these nuts can go on promoting their "faith", "talking with god" and so on and hardly anybody standing up and shutting them up ?

Huck does not beleive that. Huck is a new testament guy.

Huckabee eating a pork chop on a stick in Iowa.

All these accusation of Huck following Leviticus are wrong. Huck eats pork, that is Bible old testament forbidden.

I have never seen Hillary eat pork.

Huckabee Rocks. Toby Keith is for Huck, so is Amy Grant.

So the Dixie Chicks can support Texas Ron Paul all they want.

Who was for Hillary? BS? Barbra Steisand?
When was the last time she had a top 40 hit?

Like Hillary is not grayer than Barbara Bush.
I think Huck is a winner. He has a positive image
and is not attacking anyone.

I think the new match if Huckabee vs Edwards.
The other candidates have destroyed each other.

BTW that dog story is false.

In fact Huck owns a dog, and the dog has his own website.

Huck is a truly scary guy, plus anyone who colors/dyes his hair is very suspect. He is not to be trusted....

We at our house would like to vote for someone who would like to be like Jesus. No one can really be as good as Jesus, but we appreciate those who try. We are enthusiastic, therefore, about Huckabee, even though we recognize that anyone who goes into politics (as Huck said Jesus would be too smart to do) can't be perfect, or even near perfect. Politics is dirty business. Too bad we elect our leaders by dirty business. But that's how it is. Huck comes off very well for a man who's had to play in the cess pool called Arkansas politics. The more we see of him the better we like him. It would be great to have a man who, like Lincoln and many other presidents, really believes in Jesus. What a relief, after all of those years of drought.
