HUCKABOO SLIPPING

Thanks a lot Dickweed
The damage is done


Evangelicals growing tentative on Huckabee

Evangelical voters appear to be unwilling to unite behind Mike Huckabee, despite the presidential candidate's pedigree as an ordained Southern Baptist minister.

While Huckabee leads Republican hopeful in a survey of "born again" voters released Wednesday, it was by a tenuous margin that suggested dissatisfaction with a candidate who built his campaign by courting social conservatives.

Several evangelical leaders said Wednesday that like-minded voters see Huckabee as flimsy on foreign policy.

With terrorism fears still on their minds, evangelicals are looking for more in a president than harmony on social issues, said the Rev. Joel Hunter, a Florida pastor.

"Everybody has a question about his foreign relations experience. How is he going to be as an international player?" said Hunter, senior pastor of the 12,000-member Northland Church in Orlando, Fla.

A survey of evangelicals by the Beliefnet Web site indicated 28 percent support Huckabee, compared to 21 percent for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. A statistically similar number of born-again voters had favorable views of both men.

Evangelicals spurred a Huckabee victory in the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3, but he has not won since.

And McCain cut into Huckabee's evangelical base in his narrow victory over the former Arkansas governor in Saturday's South Carolina primary.
Mitt Romney, it appears, has a JFK problem with Southern Evangelicals who see Mormonism as ... what?   In 1960 they were fearful that once in office, Kennedy would unleash the Pope's army of Catholics on American women, or something.  I think some still do.  Maybe they think Romney will ban Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and caffeine? I am in agreement with them on nearly all social issues, but "if not Huckabee, McCain"?  Are you shitting me? That is unacceptable.

 This is my secret island redoubt. Schlong Island. It's all I need.  Nuff said?  Good, then start thinking what's best for our country.

Don't worry Linda, you're in the executive compound. Your billet has 18,634 sq. ft. with a nice view of rock.

Dang...that is not a place you want to skid off the end of the runway...

You land the B-52 on that?

DesertCat,

That runway doesn't look long enough for a B-52 to me.

BTW my Aussie passport is still valid until 2009 I think. I can always escape there.

Pleaaasssseee sell me a lot Rodger. That looks nice, and with the Schlong the Magnificent as The Real King of Schlong Island, naught but good could follow. I can still shoot expert with rifle and pistol, have woodworking, fishing and engineering skills, lots of hand tools, have a large library, can still shoot a good moon with proper window configuration, and my darling wifey is an outstanding cook and gardener.
