Mike Huckabee, Are you KIDDING me?! Options

[blaarg]

This guy is polling in the 20% range in Iowa. Are you FUCKING kidding me!??!

Mike Huckabee:
Doesn't believe in evolution.
Is an ordained minister who thinks that faith "makes us less judgmental, as we see others with the same frailties we have," yet would champion an effort to amend the constitution for a gay marriage ban.
Against stem cell research.
Support the war in Iraq.
"My faith doesn't influence my decisions, it drives them."

Hey but at least he believes in being environmentally responsible!

(all quotes/opinions taken from his website)

This is fucking ridiculous, and I love how he gets all upset when he gets asked the evolution question. "It's interesting that that question would even be asked for somebody running for President. I'm not planning on writing the curriculum in an 8th grade science book, I'm asking to have the opportunity to become the President of the United States." I think it is an extremely VALID question, it shows how he is 1) a religious zealot 2) is crazy thinking that there is a possibility that God created everything in 6 days.

for me if a candidate doesnt believe in evolution it means he most likely has pretty strong religious views. and i believe religion causes some big impartiality issues for example gay marriage, stem cell research, laws on funding etc. so to me it does affect whether he does a fair job or not. i dont believe someones personal faith should be a guide for America as a whole

i understand that, but when was the last time a non-religious president was elected?

i think this is one of those things where you have to choose your battles. all the candidates running for president (with at least a chance) talk about being very religious (including hilary and obama).

Since when did you have to be non-religious to believe in evolution? I know preachers that believe in evolution.
