4. A fine example of a student of the teachings of Jesus, sure, of course he is.

America has to import so many workers because] for the last 35 years we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce.” – Mike Huckabee

Huckabee Hides His Full Gospel?

Is Mike Huckabee the presidential candidate shunning Mike Huckabee the preacher? Before entering politics, he was a pastor at two Baptist churches. Now his campaign tells Mother Jones it won't make his sermons available to the media and the public.


"Only a small sampling of Huckabee's early speeches are publicly available. While the pastor at Beech Street, Huckabee became president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. (At 34, he was the youngest person to ever preside over the 490,000-person group.) He held the office from 1989 to 1991. Several of his sermonlike speeches were featured in the convention's publications. In a 1990 speech to his fellow state Baptists, Huckabee urged the audience to hold to what he called "The 10 Commendations," including "Thou shalt love like a family" and "Thou shalt be found faithful." Huckabee also said, "It doesn't embarrass me one bit to let you know that I believe Adam and Eve"

During a meeting with Republican National Committee members today, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee made some really stupid comments about women.

Huckabee, who served two full terms as Arkansas governor, insinuated that women who use birth control "cannot control their libidos." He also claimed, "Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription."

Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008 and is seen by some Republicans as a viable candidate for 2016, also disputed that the GOP is waging a "war on women," suggesting instead that his party fights a "war for women."

Asked about the comments, White House spokesperson Jay Carney said, "it sounds offensive to me, and to women."
