    Yep and keeping globalist advisors like Richard "new world order" Haas around says Huckabee is no patriot son of America either. Traitor would be a more accurate discription of this poser.

    How is Huckabee a traitor?

    I find it Orwellian to throw terms like that around against Paul, Clinton, or anyone in light of the real enemies foreign and domestic.

    I live just outside of SC and I did not hear of him preaching on the news here. If he did it for political gain i would be completely aginst it. If he did it to farther Gods word I am all for it. I believe if it were for political reasons it would have been all over the news here.

    If you had a public stage to proclame Gods word on would you proclame His word.

    Judge not least ye be judged.

    Well, when Mr. Huckabee was my government he was not against what I wanted him to be against - for example, raising taxes, being soft on crime, being soft on illegal immigration, increasing government spending, increasing the size and scope of government.

    I guess Mr. Huckabee should not even attend church while campaining because it's just to garner votes, right? He should give up demonstrating his personal faith for political reasons, right? And a former pastor running for President should NEVER preach anywhere because it could ONLY be for political gain.

    To me it's refreshing that he is who he is and isn't gonna let political pundits dictate his relationship with Christ. Politically he knew he would get negative press over this preaching opportunity, yet he chose preaching Christ over political expediency. Hmmm.... I think I like that!

    By the way, I'm leaning toward Huckabee, but still waiting to see if he will stand up against the moderate McCain. I'll wait and see.....

    I agree whole heartidly, and think it is wonderful that he preaches the gospel no matter what...

    When a man is called to preach, and is given the chance.. He must preach....

    So what if he is a presidential candidate.. he is a press secretary for the King of Kings first and foremost.

    America will be changed behind the Holy desk...
    So what if the person behind the Oval Desk happens to do his most important work from behind the Holy desk?

    He preached the gospel...

    Take it up with God, if you think he shouldn't have.. God called him to.

    If God called you to preach.. would you tell him no?.... I didn't think so..

    That's right.. He is a real man, not afraid of what the critics will say.. He serves God no matter what... Hmmmm more Christians should be like this.

    If Mr. Huckabee was called to preach, then why did he quit preaching to become a politician?

    So a politician cannot be a preacher?

    Why not? From the Bible.. or constitution?

    Did Mr. Huckabee make a mistake when he thought he was called to preach or did he make a mistake when he turned his back on the call to preach to become a politician? Which one is it?

    <-- I am not a supporter of Hillary -->

    So, you think this is ok, but the Hillary cry was not?

    Don't get me wrong, if he is called to preach them more power to him. I fully support him. If he preached back home while stumping in another state, I would be ok with that. What I have a problem with is him preaching in the very NEXT state in line to vote AND he is running for office.

    Those two do not go hand in hand. If his calling from God was to preach then why did he quit?

    I think you guys are giving him a pass because he is a Christian/Pastor. You didn't give Hillary a pass when she cried.

    We don't know why he quit being a pastor. We also don't know enough about him to pass judgment.

    We do know the Clintons. They have lied, shredded documents and so on.

    They say a poor excuse is better than none.... and that my friend is a Poor excuse.

    If you think anyone in Politics is always honest and don't ever lie, then... nevermind.

    There is a difference when a man is preaching than a woman faking a cry...

    Did he preach the Gospel? If so, no Christian should complain.

    Where did I say no one in politics has ever lied?

    Do you know Huckabee's heart and what he thinks? I don't know about his personal life and neither does anyone else. That's between him and God.

    If he's lying in any way about his motives he will be found out.

    Again, why does one have to be exclusive to the other?

    Show me from the constitution where a preacher cannot serve as president...
    And while president, I would expect him to preach too...

    Show me from the Bible where a preacher cannot serve as a president.
    The Bible instructs us to do everything as if we are doing it for Christ...

    That is the problem with American politics, and liberals today anyway.. they want to pigeon hole Christianity into Sunday morning only.

    The fact is, our country needs Godly leaders in all levels...
    We need true Christians that are not afraid to stand up for Christ.. even if they are the President of the US.

    Not when they are running for the office of POTUS. Who is to say that Hillary's tears were fake? Did you attend the event? See it for yourself in person?

    With that, we can almost agree.. I agree that him preaching the Gospel is a great thing, but the timing of it is where I have a problem with it.

    You state you don't know enough about Huckabee to pass judgement, and we do know enough about Clinton... I say that all politicans are corrupt. Do I know anything out right about Huckabee and if he has don't anything wrong? No, I haven't researched it, but if he's a 100% honest politican, he would be a first I believe.

    No, but neither do you, and yet you're giving him a pass... Sounds one sided to me.

    With this, we can agree. :)

    No one is giving him a pass. There has been no legitimate claim against his character to pass on. Just an ungodly character smear based on no evidence current or passed. There just is nothing to pass on.
