It is highly advisable to move it on weekends because there are a lot of americans and specially immigrant turned americans who work may be 16 hours a day. Also, the voter turnout to be more as they will have a holiday to decide who to vote. thanks

I support moving the election to a weekend. I would also support mandatory voting, as occurs in some Latin American countries. How about limits on campaign spending? Yes, our election system is in trouble.

Seems like we ought to just nominate Jesus these days. I mean, why bother finding somebody who's just going to do everything Jesus would when we could have the real thing!
Also: with regard to ending energy consumption altogether, since eating would also count as energy consumption as well, we may have to go for extinction to achieve that goal. You could run on that!

It is wrong for you to (continue to) conflate the Mormon faith with Christian belief!
Would it sway you to know that the Vatican, the Presbyterians, the Methodists, the Babtists and others have publicly stated that Mormonism is not "Christian"! What authority would satisfy you?
Isn't it obivious who gains from the confusion?! NO respected theologist considers them Christians -- not in history and NOT today.

If god is behind Huckabee's rise in the polls, what will that say about Huckabee when he loses?

Ask your guest about reports that Huckabee's gubernatorial office had been privately warned by numerous women that a prisoner called Dumond had sexually assaulted women and their family members, and would likely strike again. Huckabee pushed for the rapist's release from prison anyway, and Dumond went on to rape and murder at least one other woman. The back story is that Dumond's first victim was Bill Clinton's cousin and the anti-Clinton people went nuts with yet another conspiracy theory - this time about Dumond.

How preposterous need one's beliefs be before they become relevant to their character and political qualification?
People should look into the Mormon faith - it's fraudulent origins - it's effort to conflate its beliefs with Christianity - it's turbulent history with the United States, women, and blacks
The fact that Romney was a missionary and church leader for this faith gives many, Jews, Christians, Atheists, and secularists pause.
What kind of candidate is a candidate who can put on the blinders -- suspending all rational thought -- that one needs to do to profess this "faith"?

Huckabee said this to Katie Couric, who of course was too dumb to follow up "I think we ought to be out there talking about ways to reduce energy consumption and waste. And we ought to declare that we will be free of energy consumption in this country within a decade, bold as that is."
Now, how do you suppose he's going to get the U.S. "energy free" within a decade? Shouldn't someone ask?
