He wants to govern the nation like a Christian theocracy.
Haha I don't entirely doubt it, but I hate to make such assertions without actual evidence. If that's true, it would obviously be a majour cause of concern, but I really haven't seen anything that would support that, though I can't claim to be an expert on Huckabee.
One of my worries with him would be his position on things like stem cell research, which he would no doubt continue to veto based on his Christian beliefs.
Just look at how he governed Arkansas. Pardoned three times as many criminals as Clinton, spent money on social programs like it grew on trees, and hated on gays.
Rudy will be the next president because he is the best of all the parties combined and will keep our country safe.
I don't see that. You see, there is a very short, straight line from Giuliani to the President via Rudy's advisors. A President with unfavorables at 55%, and a job DISapproval rating of of 64%. A President 75% of respondents think is taking the country in the wrong direction.
Also on his campaign:
Chairman is Pat Oxford, a fundraising "Pioneer" for President Bush, raising at least $100,000.
Stephen Peter Rosen, a signatory of PNAC
Martin Kramer, an early advocate for attacking Iraq post-9/11
Kim R. Holmes, Vice President of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation
Scratch Rudy, and a neo-con rears it's ugly head. I think the Dems will eviscerate Rudy in the general election. If he tries to run on a change platform, they'll call him a liar and point to his neo-con advisors as proof. If he runs on a status quo platform, he'll lose like Mondale.

And you wonder why other countries view us as arrogant and don't really like us unless we're saving their asses and buying their stuff?
