From the Huckabee forums on Ron Paul's performance on the debate

[RoyalShock]

As a researcher and a long-time student of comparative religion, I can swear - knowing what I know and having uncovered a great secret- that if the people do not wake up soon, and repent of the evil that they have inflicted upon the world, that one day soon they will wake up with the "Mark" when the two witnesses, Enoch and Elijah, show up.

Sounds straight out of the Left Behind books (which I LOVED)!

I think you'll find the Huckabee supporters fairly reasonable and compassionate. Their candidate is being treated similarly with the religion question. While I think he invited those early in the campaign due to his own statements, it's gone a bit overboard, IMO. But what else can you expect from the Faux Neocon Channel.

I admit, Huck does a good job answering them when they do get asked.

 

[Meekus]

That's good to hear.

We share many of the same concerns as Huckabee supporters.

As a person, I do like how Huckabee presents himself. His support of the Fair Tax is a step in the right direction. However, the only real fair tax is NO INCOME TAX at all period. That being said, Huck realizes the need for reworking of taxes. I like his stances on the 2nd amendment - very pro. I get the sense he realizes the purpose of it.

Where we greatly differ with Huck is his views of Foreign Policy.

This basically confirms we're not noticing things other people can't see. I was beginning to think I was blindly worshiping Paul.

This is why I believe Huckabee is the least "evil" candidate on the stage.

 

[TSOL]

They're coming around I'm telling ya. All it takes is people realizing he is TOTALLY a viable candidate.

Yes

Very cool.

 

[homah]

I think Huck might make a good VP some day.. depending on how things shake out.

I just threw up a little.

 

[GryphonsClaw]

I like some of Huck's views as well. His Fair Tax attracted me several months ago, but then I found Ron and Ron fits my small government views as well. It's good their supporters see the unfairness. I wonder if we would be around 20% if Huck wasn't in the race?

I think Huckabee have both a good and a bad side to him. His problem is that he wants it both way. You cannot be pro-life and pro-unjust war at the same time. This is not true faith, this is hypocrisy. You cannot establish God's kingdom when you want to ride the "Beast".

 

[Cleaner44]

I have a "friend" that is a Neocon McCain/Huck supporter. He said he was impressed with Ron Paul on Leno. Now this guy hates Ron Paul and has NO respect fo r the Constitution. I think when people see RP in as format like Leno he really shines. Anything other than debates, where he can speak on his own terms is golden.

 

[Nyte]

It seems to me Huckabee is having a moral debate atm:

Does he completely sell out and accept his membership into the CFR?

Or does he stand by the man and principles he admires, and fight the good fight along side Dr. Paul?

For those of you who are not Christians, this response will likely mean little. But for those of you who are Believers, here is my 2 cents.

I have been teaching an advanced class at my church on the book of Isaiah. Old Oestament...is it relevant today? Well, Isaiah was a prophet to Israel about 700 b.c. and confronted the leaders and the people with their sins. And Isaiah's message concerning the leaders?

Is 1:15 Your hands are full of blood

Is 1:23 Your Princes (leaders) are rebels and companions with thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless and the widow's cause does not come to them. (Note: God implored the cause of the weak in society. Widows were not given any standing in society and therefore were easily taken advantage of in the courts as only a man could plead a case so the weak were preyed upon)

Is 3:14-15 The spoil of the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor.

Note: God placed leaders in places to care for the needs of the weak. However, instead of using this place of favor to help the weak, offer justice, and lift oppression, they used their positions to futher oppress the weak. History shows the result was that Assyria would conquer the country and the few survivors were carried off into Assyria as a "remnant" for restoration. God's message is the same today...care for the weak and oppressed, be Just in your dealings, and be Righteous. What examples do we have of this coming from Washington?

The point is this, ONLY Ron Paul is following the Biblical prescription for God's favor. He does not see public office for his own gain or prestige but rather to restore liberty to the oppressed. He is the champion of the little guy and is the only true Christian running in this election from either party.

We judge a Christian by their fruits (Gal. 5:22) love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness.

How many "Christian" politicians pass this test? You decide.

How can anyone hates Ron Paul unless they are mentally defective and twisted in their mind and heart!!!

Do people hate Ron Paul because he is not a blood-thirsty warmonger who is not willing to go and massacre millions of people? I mean, that seems to me to be the only reason.

Well, they may have their wishes, but they can rest assured that their eternity won't be spent in heaven but in hell.

QFT.

The essence of faith is to be righteous and just, and to desire peace.Whatever happened to peace on earth and goodwill towards men! And that means all men regardless of their color, race, nationality, etc...

You cannot have faith and takes the side of the oppressor; you cannot have faith when you break every and each of God's holy precepts.

And if anyone believes that he can do the above, and still earns the pleasure of a righteous and just God, they are delusional. They may not know it, but in truth, they are liars, hypocrites and deceivers.

The "Rich glutton" in the New Testament story went to hell for a much lesser crime than that. Do these people ever realize the monstrosity of what they have become?

 

[Edward]

Hey, I get the sarcasm in your post, but they are sticking up for our candidates unfair treatment... and that's about the the first time that's happened.

They are being fair, let's all be fair in return.

Indeed. Props to them. We could learn a thing or two from their supporters.

That's a very good question. How can you hate the man? All he wants is freedom for the American people. He wants a strong economy based on real money. He wants to stop the hollocaust of unborn babies. He wants to take care of America first. What is to hate???

 

[Mithridates]

What Huckabee forums did you go to?

Huck's army. Look around page 18 of their debate thread and you can find them starting there.

I also would say I like many of the things that Huckabee says.

That being said, I need to explain. In some cases it's because he has taken to using some of Dr. Paul's campaign wording and stances. There's even a news story showing he basically stole an entire speech from a document posted on ronpaul2008.com. He has recently started calling his grassroots campaign a "revolution". I wonder where that came from? And most importantly, from the reading I've done about Huckabee, you cannot go by the things he says. There is an unfortunate paper/video trail in his history of changing his words and stances on topics to meet the approval of the public. That I have trouble respecting and is exactly the reason I was drawn to Dr. Paul. He has over 20 years of consistency in his message, AND voting history on topics.

I mean really; what would a Ron Paul presidency bring except peace, security, a complete check, and freedom to live according to your own conscience!

 

[gracebkr]

Ironically, Paul's message is much more in line with the "WWJD" mentality. Perhaps the good preacher, Huckabee, should reconsider his stances.

Dave

Absolutely.

Foxnews are a bunch of 6th graders. What a complete disgrace.

They wouldn't be able to get on Are you smarter than a fifth grader?!
