Huckabee is not affable and charming, he's a jerk

In a crowded field of scumbag competitors who, among their ranks, think that the official American policy on religion is monotheism, hang out with child molesters, take campaign donations from hate groups and John Mayer, and seemingly have no brain cells whatsoever, one can almost be forgiven for thinking that Huckabee seems like an acceptable alternative. This is wrong. This is another example of how the lesser evil argument is not going to do anyone any amount of good.

For anyone in this country who thinks that people should be allowed to believe (and not believe) as many gods as they want (and I would hope that there are many of you out there), Huckabee's religiosity is appalling. I have no problem with anyone getting a degree in theology, but just take a look at what Huckabee has said about homosexuality in the past:

"The governor regards 1968 as the dawning of ‘'the age of the birth-control pill, free love, gay sex, the drug culture and reckless disregard for standards.'"

Furthermore, his comments in 1992 that we should quarantine people with AIDS has gotten a certain amount of attention, as has his comment that, "Homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle." These sort of comments should not be tolerated by anyone who believes that discrimination is wrong, as opposed to permissible, which apparently these fuckers think is not a problematic thing to say.

The man does not believe in evolution. This is the 21st century. This is insane. I don't care how many profiles he gets in the Jesus York Times or Newsweek, he's still a bigot just like the rest of them (yes, including Ron Paul). I really wish the press would stop giving people like that a platform and allow non-bigoted republicans (yes, I know you're out there) a chance to say something. If I had to choose a republican candidate right now, I'd choose John McCain, despite his lame Woodstock comment (being a prisoner of war and having your balls electrocuted is sweet, I guess).

God, some of these blog posts are just no-brainers. Just be glad I didn't call this post "I hate Huckabee."
