While Mike Huckabee seems like a relaxed down to earth man on television, all one has to do is look up what stances he takes on some very serious issues to know that he is not the right man to run this country.
Some of his public comments alone that have gotten him trouble are enough to turn me away from supporting him. He has made statements relating his massive weight loss to Jews in a Concentration Camp. Somehow I don't see how the two things are related unless perhaps Huckabee was being tortured and forced to work with little to no food and that is how he lost the weight.
Even if one could forgive him for some of the stupid things he has said, people should think about the fact that he believes in Creationism. Yes, there is a separation of church and state, but think about what could happen to science programs if he is making the major decisions. Huckabee has stated, "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally." One major problem with that statement is that the Theory of Evolution has been proven.
If you are homosexual, watch out for Huckabee. He does not believe you have the right to get married or even have civil unions. "There's never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived," he said in an interview with GQ Magazine. I'm sorry, but isn't marriage about love and devoting yourself to your partner? Sexual orientation does not affect how much one person loves another. Everyone should have the right to share the bond of marriage.
Another issue I do not agree with Huckabee on is abortion. Simply put, he does not believe in it. Well, I believe that it's my body and my choice. He supports the Death Penalty, which is interesting. He is okay with killing full grown adults but killing a bunch of cells is not okay. He's also against gun control, so basically he will kill you if you kill someone, but he won't do anything to prevent you from killing someone in the first place.
I do not support Huckabee for president. He stands against almost everything that I firmly believe in. I just hope that other people do a little more research before going to the polls and casting their vote.
