Huckabee Tells Faithful to Hijack Their Church's Bus for Iowa Caucus
Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister and former governor of Arkansas, was in Iowa today, with last minute campaigning.

The AP reports the following from the Rally:

Amid murmurs of "Amen!" at a pizza parlor in Sergeant Bluff, Republican Mike Huckabee urged hundreds: "Don't go alone. Take people with you. Fill up your car. Rent a van. Hijack your church's bus, whatever you've got to do to get people to the caucus who are going to vote for me."

I thought "Thou shall not steal" was one of the Ten Commandments.

1. I hope no one takes him seriously
I bet there's some loose screws among the Huckabee supporters. :scared:

2. Yeah, the man is strange
He's also number 6 on the Judicial watch list, although Conyers is on that list too.

6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “ career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

3. Now this is the mindset that deserves more attention.
Every day I wade through the countless, petty Hillary vs. Obama vs. Edwards threads -- on the Greatest Threads page, mind you -- & none of the topics of slights come close to being as deranged as this.
