Any thoughts I ever had about giving Mike Huckabee the benifit of the doubt just flew right out the window. I saw a video interview wherein the person conducting the interview asked Huckabee about his thoughts on Romney leaving the race. Huckabee was grudgingly complimentary. Understandable given the amount of rancor between the two. But then the interviewer asked a question and Huckabee's answer just about turned my stomach. The interviewer asked what he thought about Romney's reason for leaving the race. And the answer Huckabee gave was probably the biggest bald-faced lie in political history.
Huckabee said, (paraphraseing) "It confused me because, if he thought he wasn't up to the job, why was he in the race in the first place?"
Huckabee took Romney's very magnanimous and patriotic gesture and turned it into Romney admitting to the voters that he wasn't the man for the job. You cannot possibly listen to Romney's speech and the thousands of comments upon that speech afterwards and come up with the conclusion that Romney was stepping aside because he felt he was unequal to the task, not unless English is your second language or Lying is your first.
Huckabee is the master of lying by insinuation and half-truth. So much so that he reminds me of a passage of scripture, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field" Genesis 3:1
This is the man that claimed his faith defined him; who claimed that, of all the other candidates, he was the Christian leader.
A lot of Christians like to answer the Mormon asserton that they are also Christian with, "But it's not the same Christ" I never believed that there were two but then the scriptures DO speak of false Christs coming and the REAL Jesus gave us a litmus test on how to tell, "By their fruits, ye shall know them"
So we place into the evidence, two men. One Claims to be a Christian and insinuates that the other is not
The other man claims that they are both Christian.
In the middle of a presidential campaign, one man dons his Elmer Fudd gear and invites the press along on a pheasant hunt. The other man quietly sneaks away from the press and helps a man whose home has been devastated by the fires in southern California. http://confessionsofapoliticaljunkie.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-often-do-candidates-do-stuff-like.html
One man makes his money by wit and intelligence, The other makes money by losing a hundred pounds with the aid of bariatric surgery and then selling a book about how he lost all that weight by "self-discipline"
One man has a family that is the model of perfection, the other has a couple of fat kids who abuse animals and get arrested for trying to sneak a handgun onto an airplane.
One man served his faith and paid for the priviledge to do so. The other serves his faith for money
One man served his state for no recompense, the other man took his governor's pay and tried to get more by opening up a "bridal registry" so that lobbyists could give him gifts
One man saw that the country was facing peril if we allowed the democrats to win and felt the best way to prevent that was to step aside and let the front runner begin mounting a national campaign.
The other man stays in the race despite overwhelming odds, blocking the ability of the front runner to mount a national campaign and then, lies about the man who got out for patriotic reasons.
Jesus said, "by their fruits, ye shall know them"
I put it to you; who is following the real Jesus?
