Huckabee is teh Smrt
I usually don’t share or even read posts from Daily Kos. It’s not that I don’t consider Kos legit; they do post relevant stories that contain facts and truthiness. It’s just that sometimes the methods they undertake are comparable to Fox News. Sites like Daily Kos will never be considered a legitimate source for news because of the hateful things they sometimes publish. You can’t be taken seriously when you’re not serious and lack professionalism. (I should know.) That’s why I prefer the sites of Talking Points Memo.
But I digress…
Last week’s “Sex on the City” scandal exposed even more delicious skeletons in Rudy Giuliani’s closet (not the same closet where he keeps his drag outfits, mind you.) Now it looks as if former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee may be the emerging frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. It must be nice to win by default.
Unlike Giuliani, not only does Huckabee have hair, but he also a thing called foresight. Huckabee would probably be in the same mess right now if he hadn’t “ordered the hard drives in 83 computers and four servers be crushed (destroyed) in his final days in office” (Daily Kos.) And while Huckabee might be enjoying some national popularity right now, he is everything but popular back home in Arkansas.
So why is Mike Huckabee scary? Well, the main reason is that he’s a Christian fundamentalist who appeals to the same base as George W. Bush. Now he stands a very good chance of winning the nomination if Rudy is really kaput. We don’t need another Crazy Christian in the White House.

good ole huckabee doenst have name recognition anyway. you put a namelike huckabee next to clinton or guilliani ppl will say things like who is huckabee? is that the name of a new food sponser for the 08 election? the name huckabee reminds me of a cereal box marketing campaign. i think its safe to say neither the GOP or DNC have a candiate thats strong enough for each sides base. IMHO.

AMEN !!! The most frightful thing about a “Christian” (I don’t really consider them true Christians — or followers of Christ — but “Bible Thumpers.”)fundamentalist candidate is that there are millions of other fundamentalists out there who agree with him, who “bear false witness” against a Man (God) who espoused/espouses love, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, inclusion, and humility. Not once have I heard a Republican presidential candidate tell us what Christ would do about any of the issues of the day. Portraying themselves as “Christians,” they run from the teachings and witness of Christ!
