Huckabee Agony

On Hannity Huckabee admits he flipped on Cuba because he's running for president.

Then this--HotAir:
1998 statement signed by Huck affirmed: “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband”
And how about this one, what a nice, tolerant guy, just the kind of person you want in the White House. Time:
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, ''Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?''

The article, to be published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, says Huckabee asked the question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn't know much about it. His rival Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is a member of the Mormon church, which is known officially as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The authoritative Encyclopedia of Mormonism, published in 1992, does not refer to Jesus and Satan as brothers. It speaks of Jesus as the son of God and of Satan as a fallen angel, which is a Biblical account.

A spokeswoman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Huckabee's question is usually raised by those who wish to smear the Mormon faith rather than clarify doctrine.

''We believe, as other Christians believe and as Paul wrote, that God is the father of all,'' said the spokeswoman, Kim Farah. ''That means that all beings were created by God and are his spirit children. Christ, on the other hand, was the only begotten in the flesh and we worship him as the son of God and the savior of mankind. Satan is the exact opposite of who Christ is and what he stands for.'

Romney did not respond to a request for comment.

Earlier this month in Iowa, Huckabee wouldn't say whether he thought Mormonism — rival Romney's religion — was a cult.

''I'm just not going to go off into evaluating other people's doctrines and faiths. I think that is absolutely not a role for a president,'' the former Arkansas governor said.

Well, he just flipped on that too. Mike Huckabee is pure poison to Republicans. And he has no idea how damaging this is. In an interview with the NY Times magazine!

He wants to smear Romney, but with talk like this he gives all people of faith a bad name. And sets us up for a horrendous loss in the fall. He's a fan of big government, that's why he switched to politics. And he's manipulating faith in an unforgivable, crassly ambitious, mean-spirited way.

It's Huckabee agony.
