Say Anything Blog

LIke most people who run for any office they are afarid to tell the truth. I can’t say it a cult but the mormon faith is not christian thus is a false teaching.

He did answer!  He essentially said, “I’m not a mormon, and it’s none of my damn business!” He gave an honest, well-reasoned response that should appeal to everyone’s sense of propriety, which is exactly why you didn’t like it, of course.  Just cause he’s kickin’ yer boy’s ass doesn’t mean that you can just make shit up.

He should have stopped after this,“I’m just not going to go off into evaluating other people’s doctrines and faiths. I think that is absolutely not a role for a president,”, the rest of it is just lame tap dancing.

If you study the religion of the LDS (Mormons) you will learn that they are taught, ‘The Catholic church is the bride of Satan and the protestant churches are ‘Daughters of the bride.’
The only way I will vote for Mitt Romney is if he is running against a Democrat!

He side-stepped instead of answering, which makes you wonder what his feelings really are with regard to religious tolerance.

His feelings are plain.  He is a candidate for President not Pastor and as such a candidate for the President of all Americans, Christian and Mormon included.  The President has no business labeling Mormonism a cult. 

You may think it is side-stepping, it looks a whole lot more like professionalism to me.

Rob, it appears he is practicing religious tolerance.

It would be wise to ponder why Huckabee was asked this question in the first place. And it would be reasonable, in our current political climate, to conclude that the purpose of the question was nefarious. On further reflection, one could argue that the “is it a cult?” question comes from the CNN School of Fair and Balanced Candidate Bashing.

“As a conservative, I will not be overly enthusiastic about voting for John McCain on November 4 - but I will be sprinting to the polling place to do so!”

I think some of those get a little bit almost unfortunately laborious because, you know, we ought to be talking about education and health care and energy independence and all these other things.

This part of Huckabee’s answer is his second, even more egregious flub, in my opinion.  If the man is going to try to paint himself as a conservative, he ought to be talking about national defense, economic growth, and the appointment of properly “originalist” judges and SCOTUS justices In other words, Republican issues, not those of Hillary and the Democrats.

Hell… next thing ya know, Huckabee will start talking about raising taxes.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

It was a wholly inappropriate question and he should have simply declined to answer, something like, “That is an inappropriate question regarding the personal faith of other Americans and I refuse to answer it!”

On the other hand, I don’t want Huckabee as President, he is a Democrat in many ways, so maybe he should have given a long answer and placed his foot firmly inside his mouth.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

“That is an inappropriate question regarding the personal faith of other Americans and I refuse to answer it!”

Neiman, This sounds a lot like what Huckabee said:

“I’m just not going to go off into evaluating other people’s doctrines and faiths.”

Religion is an important campaign topic. With all of our problems with Islam of late, I don’t know how anybody can claim otherwise.

HG: Yeah, only he should have taken the person asking the question to task for trying to ask an inappropriate question, which was my real point.

Mormonism, cult or just a heterodox member of the Protestant faith is not involved in acts of violence to promote and so their acceptability as a true Christian community is not relevant, in my opinion.

Here’s Huckabee’s technique for answering any tough question:

1. Dodge the question.
2. Tell a joke.

Most Americans are too busy laughing at the joke to realize he just totally BS’d them.

1. Dodge the question.

Questioned this afternoon during two campaign stops in New Hampshire about the use of illegal immigrants on his property, Romney declined to answer

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

BS’d or outwitted?

Also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Kinda sounds Christian to me but maybe I’m just reading between the lines. Every Mormon I have met has been at least a little different. They tend to stock pile food and weapons and promote each other’s business activities over all others. We had a Mormon City Manager who brought in crews from Salt Lake for city construction projects. It seems a little like a cult in that sense. I do like the part that says that if you’re a good Mormon, you get to have all the wives and all the sex you want when you get to heaven. I suggested that if they would fore go the part about the wives, it might make the difference between heaven and hell a little more clear.

Religion, of course, should not be raised in a Presidential election unless your particular religion allows you to murder 100s of thousands of innocent men, women, and children for personal gain.
