Let's not make stupid judgements because none of us know for sure. All we know is that he cried because a soldier is dead. And why are we judging him because his sons didn't serve in the military? So you're not a good person because you don't serve? Huckabee is on a roll because of the evangelists, their ignorance and bigotry. Learn what he did as a governor of Arkansas. That ride will slow down somewhere because we want a leader with experience not a guy who's using Christ for his own political end.

That phony Conservative will be discovered for the charlatan that he is once people look at his number of pardons for MURDERERS and tax after tax after tax. The difference here between he and Clinton is that her staff admits they are doing stops and websites with these "softer" themes to MAKE her look human. After meeting the "Mittster" while he was running for Governor and campaigning for him, he does come off as way too clean cut and polished, but in a smaller setting he is just a decent guy who should be judged on his words and actions and not his buttoned down appearance. Since when did it become bad to love your wife and not cheat on her, raise good children and become successful and not drink, smoke or do drugs? "Tear" Huckleberry a new one Mitt.

I think it is normal to get emotional when discussing our troops, and all they give to allow us to remain free. As a way of reminder, Mitt Romney watched his father march with Martin Luther King, and why wouldn't it be something that would get him emotional? The comments on this blog are so typical of the type of American that things there are no sincere people anymore.

Yeah, real good comparison there, Mitt.
