Christians--do you want to know WHO is behind Huck's evangelical surge, and how we can change that?

I tried to hit different points. And the electability as well.

I am writing to you to express my disagreement with you about Mike Huckabee. While he talks an agreeable platform, based upon Arkansas, I don't believe he will continue it. (I'm not saying that he's deliberately lying now, but that circumstances will change and, well, you know.......) I also have very grave reservations about the quantity of 'ethical' investigations during and following his term. Why were so many computers destroyed? What was so incriminating on all of those harddrives? I am very uncomfortable with the entire scenario. I'm sure that the Democrats won't be shy about mentioning these questions either.

I am supporting the Christian candidate that doesn't wear his faith plastered across his brow, he simply lives it. Ron Paul quietly does what he believes is right and has for 10 terms in congress. He is very much pro-life, in a very hands-on way! He actually has a plan to get rid of Roe v Wade that will work. Every other guy has good intentions but even with a republican congress, president, and numerous judges, nothing has happened. As republicans, we're losing the majority in Washington, which means, truth be told, it ain't gonna happen now!

The other really critical issue in my opinion, is the fiscal crisis and Ron Paul is the only candidate from either party who is addressing this. We are running our economy with false weights and measures. Our policies are hurting those most needing help. Devaluing the dollar, Bernacke says will only hurt those buying foreign goods. What does Walmart sell and who shops there? Scripture speaks rather harshly about dishonest money and I believe the US is feeling the wrath by continuing on this path and no amount of good intentions in the middle east will make up for the misery that we're causing the little insignificant people in our own country.

There are numerous other good arguments but I'm sure that you can find them on the web, maybe his Statement of Faith or Christiansforronpaul.com or Chuck Baldwin's letter to pastors would be helpful.

I am a Christian, was raised in a Christian home. My Father is a Presbyterian laypastor. I am married (20 plus years to the same guy!) College-educated, Grove City College, Ligonier Valley Study Center, Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, L'Abri-Switzerland (yes, I met Dr Schaeffer). I've Homeschooled my children. I am adamant in my support of Ron Paul. He is the only GOP candidate that I will vote for, if he isn't a choice in 2008, I'll vote democrat--at least I know what kind of crap to expect, yes even Hillary.

You make it sound as if there's no political motivation behind his supporting Huckabee. People who donate to churches and church organizations have a way of pushing their agenda, "wrapped in an American flag and carrying the cross."

I believe that Christians in Iowa, and everywhere, are beginning to see that certain candidates, no matter how loudly they proclaim their faith, just aren't adhering to the true message of Christianity.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

...to thousands of people on church mailing lists. Ron could use those same lists couldn't he? Huck's little bit of money is NOT going to last though...he won't be able to compete. He's not made ONE phone call, shown ONE TV ad, sent ONE mailer, or hosted ONE table in NH... not ONE! Believe me I was everywhere and I know he has NO campaign infrastructure.

I know that some of these evangelicals will listen.. if they are politically involved they are swayable!!!!

Dr. Scarborough,

I just found your website and want to congratulate you for your work in defending Americans against the assaults on our values. As a Christian who sees my first priority as taking care of my family and community, I am afraid that I, like many others, have been apathetic for too long in the political arena. It is very obvious that when good men do nothing, evil will prevail. I am no longer apathetic.

I see that you have a lot of information about Mike Huckabee on your website. He strikes me as a good man, sincere and well-spoken, but I do have some concerns about him that I would like to point out to you.

First of all, his willingness to continue the foreign policy of the current administration is very disturbing. The horrors that are happening to Christians in Iraq as detailed on your website are a direct result of our over-reaching foreign policy are a clear indication of why we should have never started this war. I know that Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator and I am not necessarily sad that he is gone, but I don't see any evidence that we are any safer for it, nor that the Iraqi people (especially the Christians) are better off for it. The Christian just war theory does not authorize aggression of this kind, and neither does the constitution.

Mike Huckabee also outlines many goals for the Federal Government to take a more active role in our every day lives, from education to health care. I think he means well, but I understand that this undermines the authority of the Family and the community (especially churches) to solve these problems. Social ills are not well addressed by a bloated, inhumane state. Our churches have always done a better job at making us better people than the government ever will, despite the best intentions of those involved.

I am choosing to support another Christian for the presidency, Dr. Ron Paul. While Dr. Paul may not be as vocal in touting his Christianity as others in the race, he lives by it and it is apparent in his voting record over his ten terms in congress. He has always voted to keep more power away form the federal government and to empower individuals, families and churches. He lives by these principles in his personal life, rejecting Medicare and Medicaid in his private medical practice, and instead working for free or reduced rates for those that could not pay. As an OB/GYN, he has never considered performing an abortion, and claims that he has never once seen a medical need or justification for such a procedure, even after delivering over 4000 babies!

While many politicians claim to be pro-life, what have they done to end the killing? They claim they will appoint better judges, and hope that those judges will make the right decision. But Dr. Paul has proposed a better way. He understands that the Federal Government does not have the constitutional authority to protect nor ban abortion, and with a simple majority vote and signature by the president, this issue could be returned to the states where our voices have more power and we can impact legislation in our own communities. I wonder if so many "pro-life" politicians ignore this constitutional solution so that they can continue to rally those of us in the rank and file to aid them in other causes. If this issue were to be resolved, we would probably be forced to examine these politicians a little more closely, and they might not like what we find.

I urge you to please take a closer look at Dr. Paul. Many people call him a "kook", and say he is "out there." It sounds like the same unfounded attacks I hear on Christians that stick to their principles. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven"

I thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Chesley Elkins

When Mike Huckabee calls for a return to Jesus and a Chrstian nation, he is forgetting the millions of Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and people of other faiths. Not smart.

I would call attention to that. People of other faiths have been marginalized enough without this Christian nation stuff.

I've been hammering this "pundit" Brody for 7 months and beating on Pat Robertson to wake up.
