I'm back to not know who to support for sure. There is plenty of time left though, the media is rushing this crap on us so much it is ridiculous.

And this is where I come from on the issue of Religion and politics. I knew Huckabee had no ability to hold his toungue in regards to religion or even that of another man.
If people think bushes war on terror is bad.. just think about a former minister at the helm.
Now, I'm no anti military fool by any means. I'm very much pro, just like I am pro religion. But I'm also firm in beleiving everybody has a right to believe what they want so long they do not force it on another.
I may agree with Huckabee on thoughts of mormonism but I will never attack a person of another faith for what they believe in. I am freinds of muslims, mormans, cathlolics and many christians. I distance myself from those who cannot follow their faith without a dire need to rub it in another persons face or claim how much they are disgusted/repelled by it.
Where does this mentality come into place in politics?
It should have absolutely no bearing on the political thought process. I never knew that huckabee was so flamboyant with his religion, and although I am a god fearing man, one with guns, a country boy attitude and llfestyle. I pride myself on understanding people need to make their own decisions and believe what they want, i may not be right, they may not, or we may all be right. But where does one like Huckabee get the right to say somebody else is wrong?
I have issues I stand strongly with and actually agree with Huckabee on, his plans for immigration are fantastic, in fact everything about him is appealing except for his need to be so out there with his religion.
GeeTrue, good to see a Eastern WA here
Looks like a found a neat place!
