But how does McCain plan on uniting the Republican party and winning the general election? The only way for him to do that is to team up with Romney as the Vice Presidential nominee. By doing this, the Republican party will be unified and have a good chance against the democrats.

2. I think there now is an incredible opportunity to forge a fundamental Republicanism that thrives without conservativism. There is nothing inherently conservative about Republicanism. The same concern for the environment and the poor that are the root of progressive values can emerge as the root of a new republicanism under McCain.

Jesus said:
(1) to feed the poor (sounds like welfare)
(2) care for the sick (sounds like universal health care)
(3) visit those in prison (sounds like social reform)
(4) tend to the stranger in your midst, i.e., like the Good Samaritan (sounds like immigration reform)
(5) to turn the other cheek (sounds downright pacifist)

I can't seem to find the Republican party platform anywhere in those precepts.

In the book, a preacher from a rural state becomes President. He then becomes the self-titled Prophet, and begins a rule of religious totalitarianism. Scientific thought is ostracised and outlawed, and only Faith matters to the Governing body.

Now I understand this is fiction. But could it happen? With his remark about mathematics stated above, I fear that it could happen. And probably WILL happen if he is elected. Thankfully, most of America has decided to side with a Republican who isn't a maniac or a preacher.

Religion is a good thing, if used in moderation. However, if used without restraint, much like Sen. Huckabee, it becomes something opressive and wrong. Don't confuse religion with zealotry, America.

"What are the facts? Again and again, what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, discard religious dogma, care not 'what the neighbors might think.' You pilot constantly into an uncertain future. Facts are your only guide. Use the Facts!" –Heinlein.

I think Jesus said (1) to feed the poor–sounds like welfare;

This will, unfortunately, destroy Huckabee's campaign........I can guarantee you that the vast majority of Romney supporters are pretty miffed, and, frankly, feel flat-out 'stabbed in the back' by Huckabee's suprising stance mentioned above........had Romney and Huckabee combined there efforts, as opposed to bickering over trival differences, McCain would not have had a snowball's chance in heck of winning the GOP.

I hope I'm wrong and Huck can indeed pull off this 'Miracle', but I certainly won't be holding my breath.

Disgusting.

Where did AP get such a bad picture of Huckabee?
Come on, AP. Do a better job with your photos.

The media hates him. Why? Because they do not control this man.

Hello? There is a reason for separation of church and state.

Hillary the HOPE of 08

Hello? There is a reason for separation of church and state.

Just a reminder - Bill and Hillary Clinton.

It must be something in the creek water down there.

Huckabee the biggest spoiler and most delusional of any candidate in history.
CPAC didn't support him because he cost us the best hope we have as a party, that was Mitt Romney.

Mitt in 2012 - hope by than we can stop the religious bigotry, hate, envy, and see someone for he truely is - the best hope for conservative america.

I'm proud of how governor Huckabee has come
so far in this race. His determination and discipline
to continue running this race regardless of what
others say is truely challenging and genuine.
