Is Gov. Huckabee the Anti-Christ?

[saltpoint]

Poll question: Is Gov. Huckabee the Anti-Christ?

[hobbit709]

1. he wants to replace the Anti-Christ

[sendero]

2. He's Gomer Pyle's ..

... doppelganger.

[saltpoint]

7. Yes. The physical resemblance is there, but there's the murkier, Other quality

-- the doppelganger emerging unbidden from the depths...

Shazammm!

[undeterred]

3. You Edwards people are so hung up on the End Times.

:hi: :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

6. It's true. I'm a sucker for demons, locusts, and plagues of all sorts.

[undeterred]

16. Well, that does sound like Arkansas

but I'm not sure which candidate. :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

21. undeterred, you are several steps ahead of me this morning. It's all I can

do to shove a bagel in my mouth and chew it at the same time I'm reading posts!

[undeterred]

24. Its the bitter weather.

And I'm a Kucinich person- we're even more left out than Edwards, I'm afraid.

[saltpoint]

25. I love Kucinich supporters. I lived for a brief time near Cleveland during

Dennis' time as mayor and even then, the larger the corporate entity, the greater the slime they tried to dump on him.

But he has prevailed against them, and needless to say, he doesn't scare easily. U.S. voters may not be left-enough to bolster left-leaning candidacies, and of course the media are no help at all and usually a hindrance.

[undeterred]

29. Live on principle and eat spinach.

Well, at least I'm not a vegan. I could be persuaded to become an Edwards delegate for a really good burger with swiss cheese and mushrooms on top.

[saltpoint]

39. LOL! undeterred, let me tell ya. I'll grill you the best damn cheesburger

you ever laid eyes on.

Just tell me where to have it delivered!

[ArkySue]

53. Hey now!

Huck is something that crawled out of the back-woods. Some sort of throwback, if you believe in evolution (which he certainly does not).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Nope; he's just a deluded preacher who thinks he ought to run the country for Jesus.

Somebody -- don't remember who -- called him a cross between Elmer Gantry and Elmer Fudd.

[KatyaR]

5. Bingo.

I'm just surprised Armageddon hasn't yet occurred. But, then again, maybe it has . . . .:evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

8. "...but then again, maybe it has..." LOL!

Yes. A strong case could be made!

[Richard Steele]

9. No, he's the anti-Pyle. Different. nm

[saltpoint]

11. Hi, dicksteele. Yes. That doppelganger thing, the dark Other.

On the old tv program, Gomer was appealing to U.S. viewers because there didn't seem to be any meanness in him and he always was folksy and agreeable.

But that Gomer was a character who never fed the Shadow, and when the Shadow is undernourished, it rises unbidden as the doppelganger, and voila, Governor Huckabee climbs aboard in the foggy midnight.

And he demands to know why he was cut out of the portions at supper.

[momster]

10. Not Slick Enough

If I believed that End Times garbage, and I don't, the A/C is supposed to be a uniter, a slick politician's politician, dedicated to making the world a brighter, better place in order to seduce believers from the hard path...OMG, it's Bill Clinton!

Nah. Anyway, Huckabee's too busy shooting his mouth off about what he really believes to be the Anti-Christ. He's just a huckster who has strayed from his natural destiny selling odometer-altered, badly repainted cars to little old ladies and teen-age boys. He's Bernie Mac from the Transformer Movies, he's Glengarry Glen Ross, he's a footnoted foot soldier in the War on Christmas. After the inaugaration on 1/20/09, he, Chuck Norris and GWB can go start a business together. "Huck, Chuck and Chimp's Used Car-Total Gym-Lobby Shop."

[saltpoint]

13. "...odometer-altered, badly repainted cars..." I love it.

That is one lively post, momster. Agree with you -- he really has nurtured the profile of "a footnoted foot soldier in the War on Christmas."

That holiday ad he ran in Iowa and elsewhere was about as pukey as they come.

I'm waiting to see how he does in Florida. Giuliani's thrown into the mix down there, and I'm waiting to see if that erodes McCain's numbers. If Rudy cuts into McCain's totals, it could mean Huckabee slips in for first place. Ugly as it is already, the GOP race would get much uglier if Huckabee takes Florida.

[scarface2004]

12. i see a 666 behind his ear

he changed his name from damien huckabee while in college!

[lonestarnot]

14. Well he has legs like tree trunks and his wife is a big'n.

But I haven't heard his waterboarding stockade victims yet. ;) :hug:

[saltpoint]

15. Hey there, lonestarnot. I picked up the news reports yesterday of Romney's

win in Nevada, McCain's win in SC, and then Gov. Huckabee's strong 2nd-place showing in SC, and thought, uh-oh, this really isn't good news for the country.

Multipl-choice Mitt, Bush-huggin' McCain, and an unstable fundie nutbag all vying for power. Yuck.

[lonestarnot]

30. Worrisome on a cheat for sure!

:scared:

[mcscajun]

17. Nah. He's the Anti-John the Baptist

Preparing the way of the Anti-Christ to come.

His desire to change the Constitution to suit "God's word"? "I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way...'"


I kid, I kid. I believe in none of this garbage. :hi:

[saltpoint]

23. LOL! Yes, kidding aside, though, he's one scary fire-belching ex-Baptist

minister.

My consolation is that he doesn't seem to have a prayer in the New England states, for instance, and I don't think California would go for him in big numbers.

So at the moment at least, I feel a bit safer.

But he's still yucky!

[mcscajun]

45. Yucky in the extreme; I agree. He's the scariest thing running in the entire field.

Nobody else comes close.

[Deja Q]

18. ANd I thought it was Bush, Saddam, Thatcher, Osama, Hitler, Gates, Ahmadinejad, or the repo man...

:shrug:

[ArkySue]

52. You forgot Darth Cheney.

Huck is a flim-flam artist. There's a lot of ugliness underneath his aw-shucks friendliness.

[yy4me]

19. He is a fruitcake, plain & simple!

n/t

[Echo In Light]

20. I tend to think of the spirit of anti-Christ as a collective unity/entity

[saltpoint]

22. Yes. It would be A-OK with me if Gov. Huckabee's supporters were unable

to amass behind his candidacy in sufficient numbers to permit his winning the nomination.

Or even be considered for the veep spot.

He strikes me as unstable, and way too sure of himself.

[TwilightGardener]

26. I'd have to say yes. His campaign manager, God, obviously figured it out

after Iowa and dumped him like a steaming sack of doody. Now, without the Lord's help in the polls, all he's got left is his slick charm, which is wearing thin, and his wild pandering to Armageddonites and xenophobes. I can't say I'm sorry to see him lose--he's truly awful.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

27. If he is, he's piss-poor at the work

A real antichrist woulda knocked off Old Man Thompson before he screwed up a SC win.

[MH1]

28. No, unless there can be more than one. I was pretty sure it was Cheney.

[saltpoint]

34. Hey there & howdy. Yes -- a strong case could be made for Uncle Dick.

[L. Coyote]

31. That should be "Not an Other" given how Huckles uses the term.

He calls those who do not believe like he does "the Others" as if they were a separate species!

Or, maybe the "Others" are those who will not be raptured?

[TwilightGardener]

32. The "Others"? Ugh--you've got to be kidding me. What an ass.

[Fabio]

33. Just trying to win the nomination by running hard right.

Mirror image strategy of some people running in Dem primary.

[L. Coyote]

37. Reminds me of Goldwater, way off to the right of the whole Nation.

Is it time for another election result like 1964? With Huckles, it will be.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

35. And lo, he shall come bearing Snake Oil.

Nah.

He's just a salesman.

[saltpoint]

38. He is a salesman -- agree fully -- and I hope he isn't that good a salesman.

The fewer people buying his snake oil, the better.

[terrya]

36. He's carrying water for the "Hurry up, Rapture" crowd.

The Tim LaHaye wing of the Republican Party.

So, I guess he is.

[saltpoint]

40. I enjoyed that association of Huckabee and "the Tim LaHaye wing of the

Republican Party."

Good god those folks scare me to death.

[graywarrior]

41. Isn't the anti-christ supposed to be charismatic?

[saltpoint]

42. LOLOLOL!

Too much! I love it!

[ileus]

43. He's just a poor xian the MSM is setting up for a big fall against Hillary.

however.com the gop voters aren't biting on the MSM's perfect gop candidate.

[saltpoint]

44. Hi, ileus. Interesting point. I hadn't considered which of the GOP guys the

MSM would prefer.

McCain's been on every Sunday talk show every single week since what -- the Civil War? -- so I thought of him as their darling. Maybe Huck is being set up. It's really murky out there right now. Hard to get a handle on it.

[tavalon]

46. Huckabee is a wanna be antichrist

[Ilsa]

47. If we look hard enough, I bet we can locate a set of three 6's somewhere.

I've have wondered about that myself. Even Timmy Russert said, "I've never heard a minister use language like that," in reference to Huck's SC flagpole/sodomy comment.

[saltpoint]

48. LOL! Timmy got that one right. Huck does have a salty vocab.

[BoneDaddy]

49. This is sad

I saw a post on Free Republic that has been asking whether Obama was the anti christ. Same thinking

[Hoof Hearted]

50. No, but it didn't stop him from applying for the job.

[PinkTiger]

51. To paraphrase an old joke, The Anti-Christ thinks

he's Mike Huckabee.

[MrSlayer]

54. The very idea of an "Anti-Christ" is ludicrous.

So, no. He's just an average, run of the mill snake oil salesman.

[bluedawg12]

55. He's the anti-chirst of the month club honoree-then,

his 15 minutes of fame will be up.
