BEST TICKET EVAR!

ahwahoo2006: BEST TICKET EVAR!

Just get rid of Huckabee and I'm right with ya.

Colbert/Colbert '08

Stephen Colbert the actor, or Stephen Colbert the pretend neocon character played by Stephen Colbert the actor?

The fact that Huckabee is pretty personable makes him even scarier to me. He's kind of likable. You almost forget what a batshiat crazy fundamentalist he is, and how he wants to reclaim the land for Jesus, and end abortion rights, and all sorts of other things dictated by his personal God.

Romney is scary, too, and Giuliani, in a different way, but you don't look at either and think, "aww, he seems like a nice guy with a sense of humor."

Huckabee truly, truly scares me.

no no. the original is still the best:

THIS. My SO actually said to me a couple days ago, "This Huckabee guy seems all right. Not just for a Republican, but in general. I would possibly consider voting for him." (Background on her: she worked on the Gore 2000 campaign and is about as liberal as it gets.) Jaw hit the floor.

He's done some great things, and I believe he's a good person...but he's too fundie to be trusted as President of the United States, man.

I liked Huckabee when I first saw him on Colbert Report. But when I saw how much of a religious nut he was, he quickly lost his appeal. If he truly chose Colbert as his Vice President, I might actually consider him again. And that's assuming it's Colbert the acter, not Colbert the character from Colbert Report.

Which reminds me, the comments on cnn are hilarious. Some of those people think his character on his show is who he is. One of the comments says something about him not being able to answer tough questions, and only pulling out another joke when asked one. That's his character, dipstick. I'm sure he'd do just as good answering the tough questions as any of this goofballs running on the Republican ticket this election.

And god I so don't want to vote Democrat. Maybe that's why I'm considering rethinking Huckabee.

aquigley: This Huckabee guy seems all right. Not just for a Republican, but in general.

"Gosh, people that disagree with me politically can actually be considered human beings worthy of some manner of respect and not just looked down upon as simple-minded idiots."

Very broadminded.

Well, most Republicans are evil. What do you expect?

He does seem like an all right guy, in general. I'm sure he's a nice guy, I'm sure he doesn't mean any ill will. I'm also sure he truly believes things he's said that don't sit well outside of his fundamentalist circles, and certainly not with me. I think he truly believes a God created the earth relatively recently, and that we all, as Americans, need Jesus.

And I think it's fine if someone believes this... but not someone holding the highest office in a nation that at least tries to keep church and state separate.

Huckabee truly, truly scares me.

You wouldn't be an Atheist by chance, would you?

I don't think Huckabee's views are nuts. But I also think he will not win the nomination. On the very, very slim chance that he does he won't beat the Dem nom (whoever it is!).

He certainly is good at pickin'and a grinnin'. He'd probably make a great opener for Minnie Pearl.

But we are talking about the presidency here. This is all getting a bit too meta for comfort.

How can that be? Republicrats wants to save teh babies. Demicans wants to kill them. Didn't you learn anything from those sixties hippie war protesters? Baby killers are teh eeeville!

But babies are evil... don't believe me? You know who was a baby once?

This is funny in a way that Huckabee does not understand ;)

My collection is nearly complete. Here is a sample of what I have for the Republican side so far.






And of course this one. Its getting old. I need to do a new Huckleberry.



Don't worry, the Democrats are in my collection too.

TheConvincingSavant:
You wouldn't be an Atheist by chance, would you?

I was born and raised Catholic, by chance.
I'm an atheist by choice.

But I'm not the sort to really make a big deal about it... I just don't like people who are strictly religious using their beliefs to influence the laws of the land, and lack consideration for those of us who do not share their beliefs -- atheists, but also, people of other faiths.

TheConvincingSavant: You wouldn't be an Atheist by chance, would you?

Might merely be someone who studied the history of the Church Wars in Europe.

Duh, I guess I could have just checked your profile. I didn't really mean anything by it, you just seemed overly aggressive towards Christians in your comment and I was curious to know how you were qualifying it.

How did I seem overly-aggressive?

I said he seemed like a fine man, a nice guy, and should feel free to believe what he wants... but that his beliefs don't strike me as something that is in line with someone who is running the country.

I'm not judging him really, aside from saying his views frighten me, because he truly puts his God first, above all, and I don't think that is what the President should hold as priority.

I think it was the "batshiat crazy fundamentalist, reclaim the land for Jesus, and all sorts of other things dictated by his personal God." comments that raised an eyebrow.

As in the comments that were spot on? ;-)

He actually did say he was going to reclaim the land for Jesus, though.

And I do think fundamentalists are batshiat crazy, yes. I think they're entitled to be, and live how they want, but I don't think they should be in power, dictating laws that the rest of us have to live by.

For the record, I think most of the candidates in this upcoming election are batshiat crazy on some level. He just happens to be batshiat crazy in the way that someone who thinks the world was created 6,000 years ago is.

ahwahoo2006: BEST TICKET EVAR!

Just get rid of the fundie-ism from Huckabee and you've got a deal.

Could you point me to a link where Mike says the world was created 6,000 years ago? Please?

I'd also like to read about that "land back to Jesus" comment in greater detail, so if you know where that's at I'd appreciate it as well.

BRILLIANT!

I want to see the democrat ones too now.

I'm a Democrat and I would vote for a Huckabee/Colbert ticket over a Clinton/(anyone).

Example: Would he chase Osama bin Laden into hell, as rival candidate John McCain said Wednesday he would do?

"And beyond," Huckabee said. "I will charge hell with a water pistol if necessary."

What? A republican gets a joke? NO. F-ING. WAY!

Why not? They're both pretending to be conservatives.

Huckabee's got a good sense of humor. But if that's what we needed in a President, Pat Paulsen would've won decades ago.

TheConvincingSavant: Could you point me to a link where Mike says the world was created 6,000 years ago? Please?

It's on a page maintained by the US Marine Core, though supposedly it was written by some guy's wife, so take it with a grain of salt.

TheConvincingSavant: Could you point me to a link where Mike says the world was created 6,000 years ago? Please?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure his official position is that he doesn't know when the world was created, he just knows God created it.

Honestly, crazy anti-religion farkers aside, I don't see how this particular belief is an issue. He's already said he's not going to legislate on this belief, and I feel as if the Democrat Congress would not pass it even if he tried.

/Not a Baptist
//Colbert is better without writers

TheConvincingSavant:


You wouldn't be an Atheist by chance, would you?


You wouldn't be a Marine officer, would you?

The answer is 'no', and yet you claimed to be one-- which is illegal, as well as pathetic and totally lacking in respect for the armed forces.

p.s. The word atheist does not need capitalization. I realize you're trying to oh-so-subtly make the "atheism is a religion" non-argument, but this is a stupid way to do it.

/Not an atheist.

Wow... people who go to church can be nice. Amazing.

I have no stake in the matter, but how long are guys gonna use that against him?

Romney is scary, too, and Giuliani, in a different way, but you don't look at either and think, "aww, he seems like a nice guy with a sense of humor."

Huckabee truly, truly scares me.

According to the Bible, abortion is not murder. If the father of the lost child objects, a fine is levied. If the father has no problem with the loss of a child in the womb, there is no penalty.

Freeper_Madness: Judging him by his record as governor, can you give a few examples of some really scary sh*t?

Why just limit it to that? But if you are, how about starting with his pardon of the rapist/murderer Wayne Dumond? Then, you can move on to his declaration of "Student Religious Liberty Month" and a bill that restricts divorce to limited grounds? Finally, there's also the fact that shortly before declaring his Presidential campaign, he ordered that the hard drives of 83 computers and 4 servers be destroyed. Including the server at the state police drug lab. Hmmmmmm....

SeismicJizzer:

I have no stake in the matter, but how long are guys gonna use that against him?

Use which against him? That he claimed his wife was posting for him, or that he shamefully and illegally claimed to be a Marine Corps officer? Is there a statute of limitations on gross stupidity?

I'd say we'll stop teasing him about it right about the time he admits either offense.

It's also farking hilarious.

SeismicJizzer: I have no stake in the matter, but how long are guys gonna use that against him?

I'd say until he voluntarily recants. Last I heard, he was still claiming wife-like typing as the excuse.

SeismicJizzer: I have no stake in the matter, but how long are guys gonna use that against him?

Until immediately after the Rapture.

Factory Refurbished: TheConvincingSavant: Could you point me to a link where Mike says the world was created 6,000 years ago? Please?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure his official position is that he doesn't know when the world was created, he just knows God created it.

That's what I thought. I mean this is what he said publicly on Bill Maher's HBO show. I was just wondering if he's said something different recently. I don't think he has but I could be wrong.

I've seen him address the issues about 5 or 6 times in various debates and interviews and he always uses the exact same line. He says he doesn't believe in the young earth story and he doesn't know how old the earth is. He thinks that the 6 days is a metaphor.

Doesn't stop farkers from repeating that he's a young earth creationist, though.

Obdicut: It's also farking hilarious.

You got that right. That's why it's in my profile, under humor.

I know this is the worst site to link to, but it's the best and quickest I could find since I'm also working: Huckabee speaks at Center for Reclaiming America For Christ. I KNOW it was reported other places than Daily Kos... because this is not where i read it... google more if you want to know.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/3/18/164726/583
Here's a snarky paper about him not believing in evolution no evolution for Mike -- and don't most creationists stick with that 6,000 number? [Perhaps I am mistaken on that.]

Atillathepun:

And how many bible-thumping fundamentalists believe that? You know, the ones outside the clinics, screaming murderer! at girls going in? And how many of the anti-abortion candidates believe that?

Remember, they pick and choose the bible at will.

TheConvincingSavant: You got that right. That's why it's in my profile, under humor.

Are you actually a Marine, TCS?
'Cause your "humor" section says you were branded a fake marine by Fark's left, rather than that you falsely claimed to be a marine. I know it's difficult to understand the difference, but try...

I'm voting the Bigfoot/Bat Boy ticket, myself.

At least I know those candidates don't exist or are batshiat insane already.
