Logic
How bout some cold hard common sense for you on the Huck?
Huck ain’t gonna go changing the Constitution at all. Huck loves the constitution.
Huck is just gonna make sure we got judges who interpret the consitution as it was written……. not in manner that as radical activist judges have contorted into.
Mayhaps you been paying too much attention to the soundbites that media elites spew forth.

Dave, your reasoning makes no sense or it may be that you’re the one that’s misinformed…
Huckabee has said that he wants to change the constitution to reflect more Christian values.
If that is not a push to make others do as they believe, then I don’t know what is…

Huckabee is for freedom of religion as long as he thinks your religion is the same as his. He did make the statement that he felt he would make the best president as he would bring the government in line with what God wants. While I am a Christian and believe in God, I think Huckabee is a fraud. How can you preach the love of God when you truely have hate for others beliefs just because you don’t understand them. If I weren’t a Christian I sure wouldn’t think of becoming one by his example and by his speaking with a fork tongue.

I would like to comment on the remarks of “Say No to Relgious Fanatics.” He says Huckabee “wants the rest of society to adhere to their beliefs.” This person is misinformed. Governor Huckabee has made it clear in numerous debates that he respects the freedom of religon (or no religion) as a bedrock tenet of our constitution. Several times he was asked to comment on theological issues such as the role of a man and woman in marriage. He stated that his beliefs had nothing to do with the presidency and then briefly explained them as a courtesy.
I think the real issue in this campaign is the arrogant presumption that says to Governor Huckabee that he should defer for the “good of the party” as if the many states he has won and the millions of citizens who voted for him are irrelevant. It’s comparable to the identity politics that the Clinton campaign was so vigorously chided over when they seemed to play the race card. Because Governor Huckabee is an open Christian, opposition to him smacks of the worst kind of bigotry and if it continues could blow up the Republican party.
Governor Huckabee represents a sector of the electorate who will not be pushed aside any longer and be the lapdog of the Republican party. There an many in this country whose first allegiance is not to the party, but to the values that that party should uphold and represent. So the call to “unity” rings hollow when values concerns and priorities receive simple lip service. We must stand for fundamental values now and not acquiesce to the cultural drift or pressures. Perhaps this might result in the loss of an election. In the end, though, it will mean that there remains a real values-based alternative in the poltical landscape and hope for our future.

You know, it’s funny how this country was founded by those who were prosecuted for their faith. Those who were prosecuted in England wrote the constitution free of religion.
Now those who run our country, and some running for presidency (Huckabee), want the rest of society to adhere to their beliefs.
The separation between church and state is essential however that border seems to be getting thinner and thinner.
It’s fine if the leaders of our country are religious, it shows character. However, constitutional rights should not be changed or amended based on what others think is “righteous”.

“Where is all of that constitutional freedom of religion”
However, a candidate who wants to change the constitution to reflect more “Christian values” is NOT what this country was founded on!

I am glad Huckabee is staying the race -
it proves his willingness to fight for what he believes in. I wish the news media would cover him more. It’s not fair that all canidates are not covered equally. I am not saying cover Mccain less but to cover Huckabee more. I believe if equal coverage was granted to all canidates the American people would be better informed from the coverage & not moved by projected frontrunners.

Huckabee represents alot of people without a voice in this campaign. The media and the northerner’s have been biased against him from the start. He is a seriouse candidate with a proven 11 year tract record as a great leader. Stop hating him becouse he believes in Christ. Where is all of that constitutional freedom of religion, you guys keep talking about. Should he not be taken seriously just becouse he is a Christian ? Stop hating!

Nothing is finial into there stands only one left. Huckabee is syanding into the end which is what we should be looking for in a president. He may be far from McCain however will a small chance of catching up but he still has a chance.
