The other day, Huckabee said, “I didn’t major in math. I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them.” We’ve had a president in office for 8 years with a palpable animosity towards science. I’m now hearing more people telling me, “Who cares if China is going to beat USA in science—I’d rather see my children homeschooled in the bible. We don’t need science telling our children what to do.”

We’re supposed to have been fighting radical Islamism, where their young are inculcated in madrassas, and read nothing but the Quran. Are we headed in the same direction?

That state consists of corruption at the highest level, the intermixing of church and state (See Bush and Huckabee), and the ‘morally correct’ society that we are supposed to live in today.

The book would include such ideas like taking care of your own problems, taking accountability for your own actions and consequences, and being a realist who investigates.

I think this book would appeal to the intellectuals and progressive-minded.

Would you read it?

Runs out on the 15th. maybe he just wants to make sure we pay our taxes? lol.

But seriously, my first thought was -
Vice Presidential announcement.
and my second thought was –
Third party run (that would sure make sense why he was staying in the race for so long. Building up his name and getting supporters. It would also prolly be a good way for him to sell a bunch more of his books, even if he couldn’t win..and maybe he actually could pull some votes from McCain and Obama with the recent controversys)
Woah, looks like he’s got a speach at Cornell about religion and politics. Maybe he’s going to start a “Christian” party like they have in Europe!

No Obama 2012

Mr. Romney, my wife and I will never vote for you, even if Huckabee WAS out. Sean Hannity, in his book, explains: “I understand that at times politicians feel they have to adjust or change their positions to be successful. But it’s completely reprehensible for them to do so with respect to a fundamental moral issue. Either these men never believed in their earlier stated moral position, or their lust for high office overpowered their moral convictions. In either case, their conduct is deceitful”

Why are Huckabee supporters so mean?

No Obama 2012

1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary’s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

2. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI): Conyers reportedly repeatedly violated the law and House ethics rules, forcing his staff to serve as his personal servants, babysitters, valets and campaign workers while on the government payroll. While the House Ethics Committee investigated these allegations in 2006, and substantiated a number of the accusations against Conyers, the committee blamed the staff and required additional administrative record-keeping and employee training. Judicial Watch obtained documentation in 2007 from a former Conyers staffer that sheds new light on the activities and conduct on the part of the Michigan congressman, which appear to be at a minimum inappropriate and likely unlawful. Judicial Watch called on the Attorney General in 2007 to investigate the matter.

3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID): In one of the most shocking scandals of 2007, Senator Craig was caught by police attempting to solicit sex in a Minneapolis International Airport men’s bathroom during the summer. Senator Craig reportedly “sent signals” to a police officer in an adjacent stall that he wanted to engage in sexual activity. When the police officer showed Craig his police identification under the bathroom stall divider and pointed toward the exit, the senator reportedly exclaimed ‘No!’” When asked to produce identification, Craig presented police his U.S. Senate business card and said, “What do you think of that?” The power play didn’t work. Craig was arrested, charged and entered a guilty plea. Despite enormous pressure from his Republican colleagues to resign from the Senate, Craig refused.

4. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA): As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee on military construction, Feinstein reviewed military construction government contracts, some of which were ultimately awarded to URS Corporation and Perini, companies then owned by Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum. While the Pentagon ultimately awards military contracts, there is a reason for the review process. The Senate’s subcommittee on Military Construction’s approval carries weight. Sen. Feinstein, therefore, likely had influence over the decision making process. Senator Feinstein also attempted to undermine ethics reform in 2007, arguing in favor of a perk that allows members of Congress to book multiple airline flights and then cancel them without financial penalty. Judicial Watch’s investigation into this matter is ongoing.

5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayor’s office “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…” ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliani’s former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.

6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to

No Obama 2012

Then he is all….”I’m nobody…leave me alone….I don’t want attention” but yet he would hold countless interviews on his front yard and even do interviews in studio on FOX, including Huckabee and Hannity and Colmes.

Now he’s got an agent trying to secure a book and movie deal and doing stump speeches for McCain….even though on his previous interviews on his yard Joe mentioned he knows nothing about economics and foreign policy.

Isn’t Joe The Plumber just a POSER and a schill for the GOP who actually would benefit from Obama’s plan much more so than McCain?
HEY ELECTION AREN’T FOR SISSES-

You have it wrong. Joe pursued Obama, yelled out a question and called him over to him. Obama gracefully went to him and answered his question thoughtfully and throroughly. Furthermore, Joe opened himself up to criticism by not being who he said he was and by continuing to seek interviews and fame instead of just not answering his door and declining said interviews.
HEY EAFS–
Once again,…Yes…it was in Joe’s yard. Joe raced out to the edge of his yard….yelled out a question…and Obama gracefully went over to him and spent several minutes answering his question. The encounter…covered completely on videotape shows this to be true. You are brainwashed with the inaccurate reporting by the talking heads on FOX.
HEY SLOANER2–

Wow! You are even LESS informed than EAFS. “Obama knocked on JOE’S door”!?! OMG….you are just plain wrong. Your other arguements would support more weight if your facts were correct….which they are not!

White-Ginder requested the meeting after Huckabee, a former minister whose presidential candidacy has recently caught fire, defended his 1992 statement that the federal government needed “to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague.” Speaking on “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, Huckabee declined to retract the comment but said he was not suggesting that AIDS patients should have been quarantined. He did not offer an alternative explanation for how people living with AIDS at the time could have been isolated.
White-Ginder also hopes to bring with her some folks who are living with AIDS. “They’re very responsible, they’re back to their jobs because of the meds, and I would just like him to see the new face of AIDS today. It really saddens me to think that they don’t have a presidential candidate’s support. We have to respect the disease and the people who have it.”While campaigning in Iowa on Tuesday, the former Arkansas governor told the Associated Press, “I would be very willing to meet with them. I would tell them we’ve come a long way in research, in treatment.”

Though Huckabee’s meteoric rise in the polls nationally and in the early primary states has put his record under greater scrutiny, White-Ginder was surprised there wasn’t more of an “outcry” about his recent comments or even the statement he made back in 1992. “It was a big disappointment really, because a presidential candidate even referring to that information in ‘92 was unrealistic,” she said, recalling the early
when people initially thought that casual contact involving by kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva might spread HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. “We fought so hard — and I’m not just saying me and Ryan — to get us where we are today. I just think as a presidential candidate, we really have to be watchful of what we say and do because you are going to represent all of us — and yes, you’re going to represent all our people with AIDS if you are our president.”

White-Ginder said that getting information out about AIDS and HIV has been particularly difficult because of “the religious and moral issues that have always surrounded the disease.” Especially in Southern states and other conservative areas of the country, she added, “we haven’t been able to make it real to people that everybody is at risk for this disease. Now, some people are at higher risk, but this is everybody’s disease.” An estimated 550,000 people have died of AIDS complications in the United States up through 2005
White-Ginder tends to lean toward supporting Democrats but added that she works with legislators on both sides of the aisle and said, “I have a great deal of respect for both parties.” Her biggest concern in the race for president is not electing someone who advocates for abstinence-only education in schools and public facilities rather than educating adolescents about birth control, condom use, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

“As a mother who has been involved in this AIDS epidemic for so long, I hear the stories, I see the faces, I know what kids are doing, and it’s not what we parents ideally would always want them to do,” she said. “But we have to be real, we have to get real with the disease. And we have to be able to speak about it at church and at home and in schools.”

The Huckabee campaign did not respond to a request for comment. (Kerry Eleveld, The Advocate)

Huckabee & Balden asked a question & have plans of a vision of our country getting back into faith & believing God again?

I realize people will answer from all sides. Please be respectful & answer the question(s) honestly.

Is getting back into faith of God a good thing for us to try to do as a nation?
What should be the direction of our country?
Also, will the conservative base ever be able to win the young people to their side as Obama did or is it just wishful thinking?
