This is the kind of guy that scares the hell out of secular humanists.

JG,

You remind me of when I was a kid, not researching much, I wanted the candidate to win that in my opinion, was the best good looking.

And when Huckabee loses to (insert other Republican candidate here), will that be the Almighty's fault too?

Mike Huckabee is a bigot

Arkansas governor wants to keep ban on gay foster parents

One day after the Arkansas supreme court struck down a state ban on gay and lesbian foster parents, Gov. Mike Huckabee on Friday urged the legislature to pass a law reinstating the ban. "I'm very disappointed that the court seems more interested in what's good for gay couples than what's good for children needing foster care," Huckabee told the Associated Press through his spokeswoman, Alice Stewart.

The state supreme court on Thursday upheld a lower court decision that threw out a ban on gays and lesbians serving as foster parents. Four people sued after the policy was put into effect in 1999. The state Child Welfare Board dropped the policy after losing a court fight in 2004.

Thursday's court ruling left open the possibility that legislators could enact a ban by law or possibly give a state board authority to do so. But Rita Sklar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Arkansas, said the court ruling itself could make legislation difficult to pass. She cited language in the ruling that said there was no connection between homosexuality and a child's welfare. (The Advocate)

Im not so sure about his stance on the gay foster ban, but I back him completely when it comes to traditional marriage. Rudy is for gay marriage, Mitt Romney was (surprising since he was supposedly a Mormon at that time too). Fred Thompson wants to take the easy route. I dont know about Ron Paul, claims he is a baptist, but Im still wondering what denom of baptist he is.

Mccain is wishy washy all the way around and is probably a Rino.

JG, I can respect your view on opposing gay marriage; I dont want to marry another man, however I think civil unions are fair and the government should allow for domestic partners to enter into civil unions. That does not effect straight people in any way and gays should not be disenfrenchised in this matter since they they are citizens and support the government and pay taxes just like straight people do. They should be entitled to the same secular rights and benefits as straight married couples.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ANYONES RELIGION IN THIS RACE.

IF ANY OF THEM CAN KEEP THEIR YAPS SHUT ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE AS FAR AS THEIR RELIGION, THEY HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF MY VOTE.

Oh my gosh!!!! Who gives a shit what religion any candidate is??????????? It should be something private between they and they're god! And if they can't step away from it to do the job, then they do NOT belong in the highest office in the land! I'm tired of arguing about the founding fathers intentions for separation of church and state, if it's that opaque, it doesn't even matter in the America we have today. It is such a melting pot, there is no way we can let religion into political decisions.

How in the world does it hurt anyone if gays marry? Truly JG how does that hurt or even effect you????

Why is it today's Christians are so interested in the way everyone else lives???????? That is not the way of Jesus is it? Wasn't it turn the other cheek, live and let live, my kingdom is no part of this world??

Here is a great speech more of us should think of right now. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/148274/2689799/post.ashx#2689799

Oddly enough, the only credit I did give Huckabee, is that he said the children (of illegal immigrants) should not suffer for the parents wrong. And I personally think illegal immigration is a problem. At least here in Cali.

I read that speech by JFK, and I was impressed.

But, politics without religion would be very boring.
