Huckabee Hater
Ok so let me clear the air from the start…I don’t hate Mike Huckabee. I haven’t met the guy and to be honest I really haven’t checked him out that much (I’m a Ron Paul fan). But I have to say one thing about the guy just really gets on my nerves.
Whether it is by his design or not, it seems like his entire platform for president is, “I’m a Christian.” I know this might sound really weird since I’m a Christian, but follow me for a second.
I have known several people in my life who say they are Christians (and they probably are) and they are just complete jerks/idiots. We need to judge people by their actions…not their words. Therefore I think to vote for a person just because they say they are a Christian, is just plain stupid. The same goes for voting for a person based on their gender or race…it’s just plain dumb.
So I’m not a Huckabee hater (I’ll check him out if he get the Rep. nomination), but I do hate the trend/campaigning that says to vote for him just because he is a Christian. So my recommendation is to look past the words/race/gender and look at the actions of the candidates. You’ll sleep better at night.

Well there is the Flat Tax issue, removal of dependence on foreign energy, pro Israel, veterans bill of rights, and other issues. Though I don’t agree with everything he says he has the misfortune of running in an election that the media is building with labels, Black, Woman, Mormon, Christian, I don’t blame him for accepting the title of Christian I’m impressed he has not hidden from it. Great to see you Greg,

Chris: Yes. I like Ron Paul a lot. The main things I like are his integrity, balanced budget, and anti-war stance. I don’t know if I would label myself as conservative though. I think you would be surprised.
Bob: I don’t mind people accepting labels…it’s just when they use them as their platform. I just prefer to look at their actions instead of their labels. It just seems to be more proof in the pudding that way. (and good to hear from you)
From past experience with the current administration, everytime I hear Christian from the mouth of politicians, it usually counts as an immediate mark against that person. Just show me your a Christian, don’t tell me about it.
Funny pic of Huck though. I wonder what he’s holding in his hands …
(This is Shannon- I don’t know how to leave a comment that’s not from Greg)- He’s showing the people how he meditates and he does it with his eyes open so that they get the point of the intensity by which he prays.
Go Ron Paul! Wow, are you so conservative and am I so liberal that we met on the complete opposite side with Ron Paul!? lol
