Replying to a comment on Why Mike Huckabee is Bad for America

Ben-

Awesome article. I live in Arkansas and lived here while Huckabee was here. The only good thing that came out of his reign was Arkansas jumped from 49th in the nation to 41st in the nation (give or take a spot or two) in education. He only did that because our Supreme Court said he HAD to.

Huckabee is running for Preacher and Chief. He is a nice man, but no President. I saw him twice speak in Arkansas and it was on abortion and gay marriage (this was in 04 and 05). He is a master at avoiding tough questions. I am a proud member of Christian Left, and Huckabee's policies scare me because I believe his faith will "drive him" to implement these far right ideas and push people away from the compassion that Christians are supposed to show (like, lets love our neighbors, gay or not. Novel idea huh?) I was also disgusted with him "babies in the garbage" quote because he makes it sound like abortion is an easy thing for a woman to go through, where's the compassion? Not in Iraq or the middle class, I can tell you that.

Keep up the good work.
