Mike Huckabee seems to be the personification of a wolf in sheep's clothing. His witty repartee on the chat show circuit has transformed him from a joke/underdog candidate to a serious contender. There's no doubt that he's very smart, which combined with his charm could make him a scarier proposition than Bush, easy going charm being a symptom of sociopaths (and serial killers). You may think that I'm going overboard, but though Bush may have weakened the constitution in many respects, not even he rewrote it as Huckabee wants to do -- all so he can stop the children of illegal immigrants from automatically being entitled to citizenship -- how psychopathic is that? Does Huckabee really think he's wiser than our Founding Fathers? He sure is far more petty if scuppering the future of innocent kids obsesses him so much that he'll scupper the document at the core of our nation's being in the process too.
Calling yourself a Christian then victimizing innocent kids seems like an oxymoron to me, but then it seems Huckabee is hiding a dark, murky, and dare I say unchristian past. In a recent Salon post, a reporter who cut his teeth on local politics at the start of the 90's at the Arkansas Gazette and watched Huckabee rise to the office of Arkansas Governor, and has therefore followed the Southern Baptist minister-cum-politician longer than most, lists a litany of financial misappropriation and misdeeds. How does that sit with the Christian "values" Huckabee purports to hold? It doesn't sit at all well with the Christian values I hold, but I have every confidence it's a comfortable fit with those of Bush, Cheney and Rove.
