From the water is wet department.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, surging in Iowa polls in the Republican presidential race, wrote on a questionnaire while running for U.S. Senate in 1992 that homosexuality is "aberrant" and "sinful."Huckabee is a Southern Baptist. That he would hold such a view is hardly exceptional.
As Dr. Taylor wrote, 'One can debate the overall issue,' and I think everyone is entitled to their opinions. God will ultimately judge whether homosexuals are being sinful, in the meantime I think they deserve human decency like anyone else.
After revelations like this and Huckabee's statements on AIDS from years back, I'm guessing we'll soon find out other important views of the Presidential hopeful. Like where he stood on disco, pet rocks, and the hula hoop. Stay tuned.

The rush to bash Huckabee h... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Alan Orfi | December 9, 2007 8:01 PM | Score: 2 (2 votes cast)
The rush to bash Huckabee has been comical. The conservative establishment does not yet see him as a viable candidate, so they have been trying their utmost to derail his campaign by painting him on the other side of populism. Meanwhile, the liberals have suddenly started to fear him and have immediately begun portraying him as a Christian extremist. Both efforts have been rather futile because they have been so far from his actual record. He will certainly take a hit from this barrage of negativity, but he's definitely going to be a factor on and beyond February 5th.

Read the bible and tell me what homosexual activity is. Why do millions go to church on Sunday and then deny the bible the rest of the week? That must put them one class below an atheist. You read, you decide. Maybe some are correct that only 144,000 will ever see heaven.

Well, Scrappy, if the Huckster is one of them, I might have to agree with Tom Sawyer . . .
