Huckabee isn't big-business, is a moral conservative, and is
moderately liberal on some issues. It's possible that some of the
liberal base could see him as a real alternative to the things they
don't like about the dems.


Some of us have a problem with the other Huckabee.


Why would "the liberal base" be interested in a simple-minded,
uninformed right-wing Christian rube as president?

Silly Harry, they wouldn't want him as president but as a nominee for
president.

I think you, the liberal side of the asile, are in fear of a candidate
with a strong faith in God.

I care no more for American ayatollahs than I do for Iranian ayatollahs.

We've already seen what happens when a president uses faith instead of
reason to formulate policy.

You are not aware of this defect, but other people are.

No - it's not a joke - it's a fact.

I've seen it happen to some very hardcore athesists.

You think panic and desperation improve decision making ability?

I think you're correct that fear and inability to face their
own or loved ones mortality is behind a lot of religious belief.

I think you just hit the nail on the head, rick. It's the common thread
throughout all the world's religions.

That, and the fact that some people are very uncomfortable if they don't
have answers to all of life's questions. So, they answer them by assigning
yet another mystery.
