The Overtly Dark Side of Mike Huckabee

Mike Huckabee is a strange character. Like George W. Bush, he advocates big-government and higher spending, both of which are counter to conservative values. But that's not Huckabee's only contradiction. As a Southern Baptist sporting a Christian fundamentalist persona for his campaign, Huckabee's dark semi-satanic humor conveys another message that voters should heed. A few weeks ago, Huckabee suggested that his fellow Republican opponents kill themselves in a "warm tub of water with some razor blades in both hands." Now that's some sinister imagery for a man who spouts about worshipping Jesus and reading the Bible, as well as his nonexistent theology degree, in every other sentence.

From suggesting that his political opponents commit suicide to his latest remark during his Iowa hunting trip, Huckabee refers to the three pheasants he had just shot and says "these three birds said they would not vote for me on caucus night." Pointing to the dead birds he continues, "You see what happened to them; you vote for me you live, you don't - there you go." This pro-life former governor of Arkansas, has an unruly obsession with the death and destruction of others, which is probably not the best attribute for an aspiring president in the midst of war.
