Particularly disturbing to me is the obscure former Arkansas governor precedent.

But he does, and he has aimed himself squarely in the direction of their followers. I'll stand by this: If Jerry Falwell thinks a man would make a good president, that's the easiest disqualification that can be made.Archaeopteryxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627784327758008867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182690994498367646.post-58732730153361285642007-11-29T16:06:00.000-06:002007-11-29T16:06:00.000-06:00So we shouldn't vote for Huckabee because some stu...So we shouldn't vote for Huckabee because some stupid people endorse him?<BR/><BR/>Or because one of his supporters writes for a publication that puts out nutty articles?<BR/><BR/>I'm quite sure every candidate has nuts among his supporters.JohnMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476537916134121570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182690994498367646.post-87101990710154177042007-11-29T13:55:00.000-06:002007-11-29T13:55:00.000-06:00John, It is very interesting that in your comments...John, It is very interesting that in your comments about your governor you talk about people not taking his campaign seriously. Back in the day, we in California had a mediocre actor (who was president of the Screen Actors Guild) become more active in a statewide conservative effort to change the usually liberal leanings of our state. I remember hearing people talking about how remote the chances of this charming, good looking but basically shallow guy becoming a force in California politics. Geez, if we had only known . . . .<BR/>25 years later, another good looking actor got involved in a recall campaign against a Democratic Governor (unfortunately the Governor was mediocre also). And again we said "It's impossible for a guy that inexperienced to succeed, no matter how much money and spin he puts into it. We're just not that foolish.<BR/>I think, after watching him in the debates last night, we should be very nervous about a guy like Huckabee, Very Nervous. <BR/>"All animals are equal, Some animals are more equal than others".TheVillageIdiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659945631438450472noreply@blogger.com
