 Huckabee on the RisePosted on Dec 19, 2007
Just two weeks shy of the Iowa primary, the contest for the Republican presidential nomination has shifted into high gear, with former Arkansas governor (note to aspiring politicos: Arkansas is apparently not the worst place to cultivate presidential ambitions) Mike Huckabee rising quickly through GOP ranks to take the lead. But he’ll have to put some serious money down on his campaign to keep from being a flash in the pan, or, as he put it, a “one-night stand.”

If you remember a few months back that Dr. Dobson of focus on the Family was talking about a possible 3rd party Candidate. What you may not know is that Dobson wanted Huckabee to be that candidate. Huckabee turned him down and instead asked the christian right to support him in the GOP race. By looking at his poll numbers looks like the christian right is

Nobody ever heard of Huckabee until he lost 100 lbs, wrote diet books and modeled health policy on his weight loss.
It appears likely that he lost his weight through gastric bypass, and has lied about it. Wouldn’t be too hard for the Democrat to beat Elmer Pantry.
The circumstantial case for this is made here:

My unease has turned from concern to stage red alert. The growing big H may be an even greater disaster than the diminishing big G.

Aside from the cross prop and his prevarication regarding his theology degree, Huck is suppose to be broke! Where is this new influx of cash comming from?
When he said that he would vote for Guiliani over Ron Paul, his so called credentials of the christian faith took a nosedive.

Huckabee told CNN that Richard Haass is “one my advisers”. Haass is the president of the Council on Foreign Relations. Read Haass’ article about sovereignty at the link below. Note paragraph seven! (See Video Reply)

Huckabee’s next strategy is to show him on a crucifix vowing “forgive the people who do not vote for me they know not what they do.“We elected one guy who talks to god and gets answers and we are in a mess.Is there really a chance that we could elect another one.I hear the Huckabee people are looking into buying large tracts of land all over the world and giving the non christians in America the choice of taking free passage and living there or converting.More astounding I hear they want to dig up all non christians buried at Arlington National Cemetery and put them into a heathen’s potters field.Sound far fetched ,if we keep electing these religious zealots you will look back on this post and think I am Nostradamus.
