Nice guy, but a few cards short of a deck.

Stumper : Expertinent: Huckabee Agrees That Wives Should 'Submit Graciously' to Their Husbands. What Does He Mean?

Ephesians - Chapter 5:22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

I wouldn't question his sanity based upon this. After all, he was a minister and since the verse above says the same thing, it's not shocking to have an evangelical minister believe the bible.

The article continues

I really don't see how this is a big deal at all. He's a minister who proudly professes his belief in the bible. I'd kind of expect that

Great, he believes in the Bible. So he'll adhere to all the prohibitions of the Bible, as laid out in that old Dr. Laura bit? Will we have to worry when he takes off every Sunday as president? That would bug me to death, I think. Do you really think that thinking people believe every word of the Bible is literally true? Oh wait -- this is the same whackjob that doesn't believe in evolution.

Dear Dr. Laura/Mike Huckabee?:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend
the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. .... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other
elements of God's Law and how to follow them.
* When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it
creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my
neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
* I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
* I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is
in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem
is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
* Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male
and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A
friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not
Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
* I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.
Exodus 35:2. The passage clearly states he should be put to death. Am
I morally Obligated to kill him myself?
* A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there
'degrees' of abomination?
* Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
* Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the
hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by
Lev.19:27. How should they die?
* I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig
makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
* My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to
death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep
with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
Considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

No, I was simply saying that the fact that he believes in the bible shouldn't be a shock. Read what Obama's church believes and states as their mission. I think it is reasonable to ask if he will be the president of the entire country or not. The mission of his church makes this a valid question but nobody will have the guts to actually ask him about it, but going after Huckabee for his religion is perfectly fine. So, it is PC to question evangelicals about their beliefs but asking people about the mission of their church is out of bounds. Shocking! Oh, Hill's camp dropping hints about coke, that is sooo cool. Geesh.

None of this. NONE of this should matter. We, as a general rule, are a religious people. What somebody believes in their heart about a creator doesn't really matter as much as how they will execute the duties of their office. To determine that, we need to look at their record and not their faith. Their record. In Hillary's case the records we can't actually see, in Obama's the one that just isn't there... Hmmm. What difference does it make if somebody has faith about creation of the world? How does that impact how they will execute the duties of their office? I thought our declaration of independence referenced a creator?

I'm not a fan of the field from either side, to the point that I really don't care who wins this election. It's not going to make any difference anyway.

I personally have no problem with that statement. If this is going to make or break your opinion of a candidate, I'd be surprized, considering there are so many other much more importaint issue out there.

Yep, that's him. Quarantined was his word.

I don't care what he believes or doesn't believe. But I don't think that anyone who believes that stuff is fit to be president.

Between his fondness for gifts, his really off-the-wall ideas about HIV, his ridiculous stance on evolution, his support for illegal immigrants - yikes! He makes Tom Cruise look normal.

Some more of the "wisdom" of Mike Huckabee:

Huckabee called homosexuality 'sinful' - Mike Allen - Politico.com

Well, this thread has ruled out Huckabee for my vote. One down.............

I think that the actions of one's children can reflect on the way that they were raised too. It can reflect well or not so well on the parents. A story came out yesterdsay that when Huckabee's son was at a Boy Scout camp, he and some friends came across a stray dog and hung it for fun. His son was 17 at the time.

I am also very bothered his lack of knowledge of things outside Arkansas.

How very Christian of his son . . .

Newsweek now has an article out: Son?s Past Could Come Back to Bite Huckabee | Newsweek Periscope | Newsweek.com

I think this is the same son who said, "No Huckabee can eat at Taco Belle for $7.00." While governor, Huckabee charged Arkansas taxpayers for his wife's inauguration gown along with meals for his grown kids.

Oh, Huckabee loves the freebies, that's definitely been reported.

I think all political figures divulge in "perks" as they call them. I think both sides Rep and Dem have things like this in the closet. It seems to me they try to one-up the other candidates with dirt.

Barak O'bama said something about his drug use. NO ONE is "clean". I'm just trying to find the person with the least "dirt" and who takes the best stand on the issues.

Huckabee's son was also detained at an airport for having a loaded weapon in his carry-on. Honest mistake? Or did he assume that becasue his daddy was governor of Arkansas he'd get a free pass?

Hell will freeze over before I or any of my family vote for Huckabee.

He got a free pass for torturing a dog to death.

I'm no fan of Obama, but his past drug use makes him more of an attractive candidate than looking at a pic of Huckabee's all you can eat buffet family. Combined with the fact his son has serial killer tendencies (senselessly killing a dog) and he tried to take a gun on board an airplane, post 9/11. He never served a day for that or the dog (that's sick). He wanted to isolate aids patients, he freed a rapist for political reasons (his accuser was a friend of the Clintons) and then they guy raped and killed another woman. He wanted the children of illegal immigrants to receive benefits in Arkansas, including tuition discounts. And on top of all that, he thinks women should "submit". This man needs to get a time machine and go back to 1953, he might be a viable candidate there. In today's world, he just looks like a redneck bigot.
