The homosexual groups are going nuts about this, but I think the guy comes across very impressively.

Most interesting point (to me) ... when he says that he's in favor of criminalizing abortion, he says it's not a faith-based belief, it goes much "deeper than that".

I would never, ever have thought I'd hear a minister saying that something in him was deeper than his faith.

Well, "deeper" could have many connotations. Perhaps, he meant the issue was more complex than being only faith-based.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Listen to the link. That isn't what he was saying.

Can't view it from here, so I can only speculate, unfortunately. Trying to find a typed version, though.

I only viewed it once, so I'm going from memory ... but I think he said it came from a deeper place, part of being a human being, and started quoting the Founding Fathers about how all men are created equal, and he loves living in a country where all men are equal.

He seems sincere, and thoughtful, and impressive to me. I like him.

I may hate a lot of his views, but him I like.

However, I can't imagine this is going to win him a lot of votes from women:

Quote:
 
— Mike Huckabee, a Republican relying on support from religious conservatives in Thursday's hard-fought presidential caucuses, on Sunday stood by a decade-old comment in which he said, "I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ."

In a television interview, the ordained Southern Baptist minister and former Arkansas governor made no apologies for the 1998 comment made at a Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Salt Lake City.

"It was a speech made to a Christian gathering, and, and certainly that would be appropriate to be said to a gathering of Southern Baptists," Huckabee said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

He gave the speech the same year he endorsed the Baptist convention's statement of beliefs on marriage that "a wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ." Huckabee and his wife, Janet, signed a full-page ad in USA Today in support of the statement with 129 other evangelical leaders.

It's weird. I was just telling JF the other day how likeable he is. He really does come across as a very thoughtful, articulate decent human being. Heh - kind of scary. ^_^

Can't say it makes me like the guy any more, either.

I think this household would need to be bombarded by the flying pig version of the Imperial Death Star before this was likely to come to pass.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

The homosexual groups are going nuts about this,

Just read the first quote that is on the screen. Ok? I can't deal with this and creationism too. :rolleyes: I guess he comes across as likable to upper-middle class straight people. He's got a teddy bear like quality to him. But someone who talks about the institutionalized acceptance of necrophilia needs a brain transplant. :veryangry:

Wow...he answered those two very tough questions unbelievably well. That was very encouraging and inspiring.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
In the interview, at least, he did not say he would criminalize abortions. Russert used the word "ban".
The dogma lives loudly within me.
