The Ten Commandments may be present in the Supreme Court but I heard that symbols of other faiths are there too. There is probably even a blank spot on the wall somewhere that atheists can look up to! In any case, in the Supreme courtroom, it is likely more of a tribute to the Ten Commandments as an early legal code than anything else. That would be quite different than if the tablets were displayed prominently alone in the Oval Office, like bathed in white light and appearing to float behind the presidential shoulder on the televison screen during an address, I think.

HUCKABEE wouldn't know "tolerance" if it bit him in the face. He's so arrogant (see Pharisees) that he believes HIS church has a corner on Jesus Christ. Hey Huck, how much love in his heart did your son have when he tortured those animals to death? How can YOU sleep at night for forcing the Arkansas officials to keep him from criminal prosecution?

Why Thank YOU!

I just love to discuss religion!

OK look...

How about before we start this discussion we get the foundations of understanding CORRECT.

If the building is not built on a solid, correctly built foundation, the building ends up falling apart.

Lets start:))!!

1.) MORMANS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS!They are mormans.

2.) Just because mom might be a christian, and you sit in a church building, DOES NOT make you a christian.

Just because you decide one day.."I'll call myself a christian" doesn't mean that you have accepted your salvation, the Lord Jesus provided for you, through His death and resurection, with all your heart, just between you and God himself.

And ANYONE can choose,of his/her own free will, to do that.
OTHER people CANNOT do that for you,of course.Its a personal free-will choice between a person and God.

3.)Religious tolerence does NOT mean you should or have to accept others belief systems, whether they choose to incorporate God in their "religion" or not.UTOPIANS knock it off!

By the time you people get through trying to "meld together" in your false humility, and religious intolerance, you'll give way to an oligarchy based system backed by a police state.I bet some do like a "relativist based perspective".Secular psyco-cologies and philosophies.YACK. Lord Bless

It was David Axerold/Obama who began the GUTTER POLITICS-- i.e David Geffen comments:

David Geffen a Obama's fundraiser (comments below) appeared in Maueen Dowd Feb 21st column; Does these comments sound familar? This came from the Obama camp

"I don’t think anybody believes that in the last six years, all of a sudden Bill Clinton has become a different person," Mr. Geffen says, adding that if Republicans are digging up dirt, they’ll wait until Hillary’s the nominee to use it. "I think they believe she’s the easiest to defeat." David Geffen also brought up the Monica Lewisky, the Lincon Bedroom and questioned the Clintons' character. Low road politcs, I think so.

The infamous YouTube video "Vote Differently" the first negative attack about Hillary Clinton came from the Obama camp. The ad copies a Apple Computer ad that appear at superbowl in 1984 -- Well, where do you think it came from? They did this so they can open up the door about the Clinton private life.

"It later emerged that the AD'S CREATOR WORKDED for a company that contracted FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN, though the campaign said itself wasn’t involved," and then the Obama followed up with the David Geffen comments. Only a idiot would believe that this didn't come from the Obama's camp. Coencidence, I think not. Dirty politics I think so. Obama camp didn't want to admit that it came from him, you know that this just would have tarnish his so-called clean image.

"Also, Mr. Obama’s aides circulated the two memorandum to news organizations on the condition that news organizations not say where they obtained the information". The Obama camp was digging up dirt about the Clinton's finance, again they wanted to be anonymous about it.

Excerpts from the column, "This turned into a bit of a dust-up because by all appearances, the Obama campaign got a little sloppy in circulating what turned out to be TWO critical MEMOS. Dirty politics, I think so.

From the beginning, Axerold/Obama had planned to use Cinton's private life, which happen in the past. After the David Geffen comment the Obama Camp have been methodical talking about the Clintons's character; a Bush Strategy against Al Gore. Everytime Bush uses the word character everybody knows he is talking about Monica Lewisky.

It's like my campaign kept saying everyday "Treat HOMELESS PEOPLE with love and kindness," and Ed was my opponent, everyone knows I am attacking Ed Schultz for treating HOMELESS PEOPLE SO HORRIBLE.

This is just a few of the Dirty/qutter politics Aerold/ Obama have played.

The press is making sound like they don't want any religion in anything we do in life.

Moral issues can be federally legislated, Huckabee said, because "all law imposes morality on people.

If he and Hillary end up as the finalists, that is one area the Clinton's really don't want to go into....

And then we have an unusual tradition that after the Christmas Eve service we go out and eat Chinese food. Don't ask me why."

Johnathan - he is only making sense by comparison with all the other nitwits on the Republican side. I'd like to see him acknowledge that the nation needs laws that represent the collective morality - which is arrived at by different people in different ways. Just because he is a Christian and I am an atheist does not mean his morals are any better than (or even different from) mine.

He should acknowledge that since this is a nation of laws, and laws codify morality arrived at collectively by citizens of all faiths (and those without a religion), that this is not a "Christian nation". Anyone who wants to elect a "Christian leader" rather than a "national leader" is in the wrong voting booth.

Having a Buddhist orientation, and knowing that a jury would vote that the Jesus religion is all a sham if they had all of the facts, nevertheless I must admit that Huckabee is right - all laws reflect some moral idea. Example - law requiring cars to get better gas mileage. Moral reason - we should preserve our enviroment by reducing pollution as much as we can. In Re: Huckabee being homophobic. Probably is. Not a good thing. But I don't think that he has any intention of rounding them up and putting them in camps as a previous writer expressed. Huckabee would probably be a good President. Of course, Ron Paul would be an exceedingly better President, as he understands freedom and foreign policy better. So when I go to caucuses, that's who I'll support and work for.

The Criminal Record of Mitt Romney

Arrests and Other Contacts with Law Enforcement
WAYLAND, MASS. (1981) -- ARREST- DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
In June 1981, ROMNEY attempted to launch family motorboat at Cochituate State Park despite park ranger advising that he was prohibited from doing so because his boat did not display proper registration. ROMNEY was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. ROMNEY handcuffed and transported in bathing suit to Natick police station, where released on own recognizance.5 Disposition: Charges were dropped when ROMNEY threatened to sue the state for false arrest; case dismissed at Natick District Court in February 1982. ROMNEY successfully petitioned that the files be sealed.6

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH. (c. 1965) -- ARREST- CHARGE NOT KNOWN.
ROMNEY was arrested along with future wife Ann Davies for actions in connection with practical joke at Cranbrook Academy. Reportedly ROMNEY and several friends "bought huge blocks of ice from the local gas station, laid towels over them, and went sliding down the slopes of a nearby golf course."7

HUNTSVILLE, UTAH (2002) -- USE OF PROFANITY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
On February 10, 2002, while overseeing 2002 Winter Olympics, ROMNEY became extremely angry upon encountering a traffic jam at a venue and proceeded to berate two persons authorized to direct traffic there, including with obscenity laced tirades, according to a police captain at the scene and a volunteer targeted by ROMNEY. The traffic volunteer Shaun Knopp stated that ROMNEY "asked me who the f___ I was and what the f___ I was doing. We got the Olympics going on we don't need this s___ down here."8 Weber County Sheriff's Office Capt. Terry Shaw, commander of the Snowbasin venue, stated that ROMNEY twice used the F-word while also berating one of his officers, Deputy Kodi Taggart. Capt. Shaw stated that ROMNEY "was abusive" to his officer and advised, unsuccessfully, that "he needs to apologize."9 ROMNEY denied part of the allegation, insisting he hadn't used the F-word since high school -- but admitted he used a word he described as "H-E-double hockey sticks." Disposition: The Utah Department of Safety advised it had decided against initiating a "profanity probe."10

Known Associates
FABIAN, ALAN: Until August 2007, FABIAN was a national finance committee co-chair for ROMNEY. Now under federal indictment for mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury, obstruction of justice and defrauding companies of $32 million in Maryland.11

GARRITY, JAY (a/k/a "Trooper"): Until July 2007, GARRITY provided security and advance for ROMNEY whom he codenamed "LXX"; GARRITY now under investigation in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for impersonating a police officer and other charges.12

HEALEY, KERRY MURPHY (a/k/a "SHERRY" 13): HEALEY recruited by ROMNEY as accomplice for 2002 Governor's race; subsequently relegated to background role.

Additional information
POSSIBLE ANIMAL CRUELTY (1983)
In 1983, ROMNEY transported the family Irish setter, SEAMUS, in a dog carrier strapped to the roof of his Chevrolet station wagon during a 12-hour drive from Boston, Mass. to Lake Huron. No complaint was made or charges filed at time. However, Massachusetts law prohibits carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon."14

POSSIBLE RECKLESS DRIVING (date unknown)
According to a published account, "red lights make [ROMNEY] impatient." Per the report, at a red light at an intersection in Boston, "There was a truck in front of him but no other traffic anywhere in sight... .So [ROMNEY] pulled out around the truck -- to the left of the truck and then right in front of it -- and made a right turn. Then, at the next intersection, where again there was no traffic, he stopped and then went straight on through a red light. And then, suddenly, a policeman appeared out of nowhere.15

ALLEGED BRUSH WITH INTRUDER (c. MID 1960s)
Subject ROMNEY maintains that while a high school student at Cranbrook School in Michigan he encountered an intruder in his dorm: ROMNEY, who says, "I figured I was dead for sure," states he escaped the unknown intruder by jumping out a ground-floor window and running for help.16

Oh, so the fact that abortion rates don't change if you ban it doesn't even enter into his logic?

Why ban it if it won't go away? I'm all for fighting abortion, but banning it seems to be counterproductive. Fight teen pregnancy by providing birth control more freely, because banning abortion just forces women to go to the black market--and let's face it, giving gangs another source of revenue (and a positive image in the eyes of many women) is just a BAD idea.

You can't have it both ways: if you want a society like we've got where education lasts till the mid-twenties, then you can't have teens getting pregnant. But the teen years are the period when the sex impulse is at its very strongest. Expecting that words of any kind will stop teens from having sex is absurd. The only way to prevent teens having abortions is to provide them with birth control--but conservatives seem hell-bent on getting rid of both birth control AND abortion. I say again, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! You can talk all you want about "the Bible says" but until you start actually trying to bring about what "the Bible says" in a way that makes sense, you're just as crazy as Osama (he thinks HE'S a paragon of morality too, don't forget).

I'm sure you didn't wake up on your 18th birthday, weigh your options, and decide to be heterosexual. Similarly, homosexuals don't choose to be gay. The only choice gay people have regarding their sexual orientation is whether to remain in the closet and hide from bigots like yourself or whether to be open about it.

How does a belief in a saviour automatically make you a better person? I've met many hypcritical, hateful, greedy people who claim Christ and have that crazed assumption. I've also met many good folks who claim Him and don't think they're any better than me because of it. I've met good and bad people who have a different religion, good and bad people who have no religion. I don't assume I have greater intelligence because I question rather than believe, don't assume you have greater morals because you believe rather than question!

"MORMANS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS!"

Let's start with being able to spell "Mormon." If you know what the word is, how can you pass judgement on the denomination?

"Moral issues can be federally legislated"

Moral issues can be legislated, but morality cannot ... you cannot force someone to accept your mores, period ... learn the difference ...

"The Ten Commandments may be present in the Supreme Court ..."

They're not ... there's a figure of Moses holding them carved into the facade of the building - the Ten Commandments themselves are not visible ... the symbolism of living under the rule of law (even though, then, it was religious law) is the imagery it projects ...

"If he and Hillary end up as the finalists ..." the finalists? What is this? "American Idol?"

The bottom line is this (and it's a question gor the Governor: "when ... pressed on whether he would ... hang ... the Ten Commandments in his office, Huckabee said, "[I] don't know why I wouldn't."

Governor, could it be because you would be the President of the United States of America and would have taken an oath to UPHOLD, as opposed to selectively follow, the Constitution of the United States of America?

I don't know why everyone is criticizing Huckabee for his "fascism" and religious views when he is merely trying to make things right.

Everyone seems to believe that they have the right to contraception, or sex before marriage, or sodomy with their wife, or abortion. These are all immoral. Under Huckabee we will be able to put a stop to all of this. We will make immoral things like contraception illegal across the whole country instead of letting states decide what to do.

I for one welcome a president who will not let his actions be swayed by the courts or the American people. Bush was on the right track but he still allows too much individual free choice. When you give people free choice they always mess up. Huckabee can fix that.

Sorry Hater but every biology lesson in the world says you are wrong. Obviously to argue that you were born gay would give you the minority status you crave. But Life does not work that way. Everything in the biology of this wonderful planet work in incredible ways to propogate itself. It's the basics that makes the world go 'round. Homosexuality, Bisexuality, etc. is nothing more than choice. Your environment may have influenced your choice early enough in life that it seems to be a born trait, but it is not. Mr. Huckabee would argue that your abilty to choose came from God in the garden of eden. Or you can say that our ability to choose comes from our unusual self awareness that is not common in the animal world. But, life fights to propogate itself, and obviously homosexuality does not propogate life. I am not damning your or anyones lifestyle (choices).But your sex life is your choice. It is a behavior. The only ones that may not fit this truth would be hermaphrodites, and they would be a genetic error, not the standard.
Live as you choose, but your genetic code did not make you gay, bi, etc. It made you hetro, you and or your environment pushed you to choose something else.
And for someone who is demanding understanding, you express a enormous amount of hatred and intolerance. Seek therapy.

Kato,
You are right. I did not wake up on my 18th birthday and choose to be hetro. I was born that way. Same as every other person on earth. Take a biology course. Hetrosexuality is a genetic deadend. Biological life does not work that way, or the "predisposed" would be able to self propogate.
PS: just because I don't believe that homosexuality is born into people, does not make me a bigot, hater, intolerant, etc. I could care less about your sexlife. I just don't believe that gays should get the "not my choice, no responsibility" card. There is nothing to prove your point of view, while I have the whole biological world that we live in as proof.

You trully are an ignorant fool with your head so far up your a*s you can't see the fact that no one in their right mind choses to be gay. Also your so called biology argument holds no water because recent genetic testing has shown that one's sexual orientation is indeed genetic, how one expresses it is based on genetics, and therefore, if one is gay, it's because their sexual orientation is coded that way in their genes. And here's another tid bit for you, democracy might be majority rule, but it also requires mechanisms to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Therefore, laws that are passed for gays are necessary component to protect us from idiots like you. And yes, there is a lot of hate in my post because we hate people like you. You are what's wrong with this country. And Huckabee is the same way. And anyone who votes for him is an idiot like you.

Let me just comment on your #1. "Mormons are Christians, they are Mormons."

By your logic than

Baptists are not Christians, they are Baptists!
Evangelicals are not Christians, They are Evangicals!
Prysbytarians are not Christians, Methodist,.... and on and on.

Do you know why members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are called "Mormons"? Do you know who Mormon is? Have you ever read his account of Christ's Gosple?

Religious people are often consided closed minded. That makes me laugh for here is a prime example of close mindedness. People who don't know what they are discussing, discounting something they know nothing but hearsay about. Rediculous.

Mormons don't wear crosses around their necks or place a cross on their buildings as a sign of their devotion to Christ , but we meet together, take care of each other, work hard to serve each other and our neighbor the best we know how, study and teach each other from the same bible you "christians" read and we try to live like Christ not just sundays but the best we can each and every day to show our love for Him.

All I know is that morality can't be truuly legislated. We wouldn't need rules and laws if everbody was moral and did want they needed to do. Everyone has a different set of moral rules as best as I see it. Huckabee tries to be welcoming, but I am sure there are people who don't see him as such.

To Jeff Reed from Little Rock who said: "He's so arrogant (see Pharisees) that he believes HIS church has a corner on Jesus Christ."
I believe that you are incorrect in terms of relating Pharisees to being arrogant. They are the precursors to rabbinic Judaism which is what people know today.

Doug -
The only difference in a christian and non-believer is the peace that passes all understanding - the peace that comes from redemption. I am a christian and I am a sinner. I do wrong - I often do things that I am very ashamed of, things I would argue against. I am not bragging - I am letting you know that I am not superhuman, self-righteous or superior. I am blessed beyond measure to be able to live in this world and know that I may be in this world, but I am not of this world. I am His beloved. We all are. When Christ died it was for all of us - believers, and non-believers...even the Huck Hater who is filled with hatred towards all. Read Paul's writings in the Bible...even Paul struggled with the shame of being a sinner. The difference in a christian is the joy unspeakable that comes from accepting His grace. This doesn't make us any better - and Satan works overtime to bring us down and make hypocrites out of us. HuckHater - feel the love and stop hating christians simply because we think your lifestyle is wrong. I never said all the decisions I make are right. We should all respect that we each face our own demons and each can accept His grace.

Mike Huckabee is a moral, godly man who is for bringing about a positive change in America. Yes, he is a christian and so is our current president, however, he is an individual man who has a plan to push this country forward. Vote Huck so we can move in the right direction.

Huck talks religion, tolerance, morality

Kathryn in Bham — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:34:17 GMT

free to be me-
Huckabee is not pushing his religious beliefs on you or me or anyone else. He is not bringing his religion in to play. His faith, yes. His basic belief in God and that Jesus was His son are a part of his faith. He is letting you know what he believes and is doing so largely in response to media/public inquiry. Yes, he was a baptist preacher. Yes, the baptist church holds particular beliefs and he shared those beliefs with the people who chose to come into his church. He is not trying to impose those beliefs on you. I have not even heard him speak publicly in regards to his 'religion', doctrine or church establishment. Faith and religion are very different.

This country, by the way, was founded on an important right to religion. Yes, separation of church and state is important. That means no one can tell you where to worship, how to worship, who to worship etc... that does not mean that our leaders cannot worship how they choose and it does not mean that acknowledging God is not constitutional. Again, the church you refer to that is separate is an establishment, faith is most definately the basis for our legal system and is important.

Whoever said the ten commandments are not relevant is misinformed. Really, think big...

Huck talks religion, tolerance, morality

Rich, Vidalia, GA — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:38:02 GMT

I love this "separation of Church and State" soundbite. Where did that come from? Cite your source before you tell me it's written in the Constitution.

The truth is that any legitimate government enacts laws, but any just law takes its force from a moral authority, and any moral authority is represented in practice by a religion (perhaps not one that calls itself a religion, but the function of religion is codifying and institutionalizing moral authority). Religion and government - Church and State - are therefore inevitably intertwined. Every President of the US has taken his moral views into office with him, and lent them the authority of his temporal power. Equally, every morally-motivated lobby has pressed its case on Congress and the White House. The language of the Constitution reflected the situation the pilgrims had fled in Europe, where individuals were persecuted by heads of State who were also titular heads of religious affiliations (hence the enshrined right to religious freedom, from which the office of President for example wasn't excepted).

---

I also love when people try to sell me homosexuality as an inherited trait. Think about that a moment and see if it makes sense.

The truth there is that there is strong scientific evidence for a genetic predisposition in some individuals towards same-sex orientation, and equally strong scientific evidence for environmental factors giving rise likewise to same-sex orientation. This is the interactionist consensus, that explicitly accepts that people can be born with a genetic predisposition and conditioned by their environment to go against it. There is no very coherent argument that it is somehow 'better' to let human beings develop without environmental conditioning to obey their innate predilections; there is no very coherent argument that two people who love one another, for whatever reason, should be victimised for doing so. Dragging questionable scientific 'proof' into the moral question of whether we should promote, tolerate, or demonize homosexuals in society doesn't help either side (my vote, incidentally, is for tolerance on that one - it's none of the state's business).

Jennifer Hunt, Spokane. Washington — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:45:32 GMT

The seperation of church and state DID NOT make America a secular society.If that were so, religion would be viewed in gross, discriminating bias. The secular foundations/agendas/ belief systems are set up, in such a way, to see to it that people find God based religions to seem spooky, or for the "unenlightened"/ common uneducated folks...don't cha know.Our constitution still protects us from being a secular society.
Well..unless "relativist" lawyers and judges get their way.Oh and those lawmaker people.

Although a believer in a supreme entity (god if you choose) and that evolution is the tool the supreme entity employs to keep life forms and the habitat in balence, I also believe religion is the evil of this earth in so far as it is divisive in nature and is the primary cause of most wars, hatred and persecution. For the sake of freedom, never should we allow a religeous based government as is common place in parts of the world. A seperation of church and state is essential for maintaining our freedom. Having said that, I would like to say the Christmas season is upon us, and whether or not one is religeous the Christmas season more aptly symbolizes a time for giving, tolerence and unity. Tis' the time of year to lay down the sabres, the time for family and friends to be together, a time for reflection of days gone by and a time to let by-gones be by-gones. There will be plenty of time over the coming year to fued and fight, plenty of time to make enemies and voice our opinions. But Christmas tis' the season for family, friends and neighbors to rejoice and embrace each other...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NEW YEAR!!!!

People---
Since when are Mormons not Christians?? I was brought up in the RLDS church (now Community of Christ--a branch off of LDS/Mormon), and we considered ourselves Christians. They do have some unique views compared to other Christian denominations, but they still essentially believe in God, Jesus as Savior, and the Bible-- what more do they need to be in the "club"? And no they don't believe that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers--I would think that would be kind of impossible given their beliefs regarding the Trinity. There are many factions of the Christian faith with lots of variations in beliefs, but they are still the same at a basic level. There is quite a bit of variance just within the various sects considered part of the Mormon denomination. Mormonism may not fit nicely into the box of Christianity, but it's ignorant to think it's some cult or something, or completely made up. It's all a matter of interpretation--using the same Bible (with some difference in translation) you can get Mormons, snake-handlers and other charismatics, Baptists, "Southern" Baptist, Catholic, Amish, etc etc.
I wish people (including Huckabee) would do their research before making comments and assumptions about the belief systems of other groups instead of basing it on what they've heard somewhere. What is sad is that this mentality is partially propagated by other churches--I had many Baptist friends in particular that were taught in church that LDS/RLDS/Restoration members were all cultists. So much for tolerance and Christian love.

really not bad people — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 23:16:29 GMT

After reading the descriptions of Christians in the majority of these posts,it doesnt surprise me that people would be so afraid to have a Christian as President. I am a Christian, my father has been a pastor for over 60 years. I dont know how anyone that really studies the teachings of Christ and tries to live acording to those teachings could be the ones described here. The greatest comandment according to Jesus himself was to love your neighbor as you do yourself. There is no qualifier, gay,straight,white,black, Jew, Gentile etc... Any one that preaches hate can not be by definition a Christian. So, the fear of a true Christian is unfounded. There are many bad people in this world, they can claim any title. To think that Christians are all hate filled bigots is unfair. It would be like saying that all athiests are Stalinists. True Christians are good people, our example is Christ, he spent his life helping hurting people, this is the duty of every Christian. Alot of the choices we make on earth have a direct affect on our quality of life. If you choose not to commit adultry, guess what your marriage will probably be better, if you choose not to have sex before marriage,you dontget vd or pregnant. If you dont steal, you dont go to jail. If you dont lie you dont have to remember the lie etc. It just makes life more enjoyable. People that claim to be Christians but speak hate are not living up to the example of Christ. So I ask that when describing people in your posts remember this, the teachings of Christ have nothing to do with what I have read above. Please, True Christian people always make the best neighbors!!!

Huck talks religion, tolerance, morality

Kira, Utah — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 23:19:38 GMT

Waffler, you make an interesting point. Here is why I worship on Sunday- I believe that Saturday was the Sabbath of the Old Testament. Christ, as a Jew, followed the Sabbath on Saturday (the 7th day). My understanding is that followers of Christ switched the Sabbath to Sunday after Christ's resurrection, because Sunday is the day the Bible teaches he rose from the dead (crucified on Friday afternoon (Good/God Friday)- Jewish calendar marks days from sun-down, so three days would be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and he rose on the third day). So AD christians practice the Sabbath on the Lord's Day, as the Bible calls it, or Sunday, which is in honor of Christ's resurrection. This also explains why Jews still worship on Saturday, as do other strict followers of the Old Testament, like the 7th Day Adventists.

Hope that made sense. Thank you for your logical point. It made me think :)

Caucus Cooler: Huck Makes $35,000 from Consulting Embryonic Stem Cell Research Company
I don’t really care about Huckabee’s liberal positions. Well, not nearly as much as this kind of stuff.

Most noteworthy, $35,000 came from Novo Nordisk, one of the world’s largest embryonic stem cell researchers. It seems that when money is at stake Huckabee may be able to look past his supposedly fervent opposition to this procedure

He also received speaking fees and honoraria from churches while Governor.

It is certainly calls into question whether or not it is appropriate for a Governor to be taking a consulting fee from interest groups, as Huckabee did, when issues surrounding that interest group could come across his desk.

The consulting money was funneled through an organization called 12 stops, a group created in 2004 to handle Gov. Huckabee’s book deals. With all the attention Senator Obama received for running a separate PAC and potentially funnelling money from maxed out donors through that PAC, it calls into question whether Huckabee may have done the same
