Mike Huckabee & Bill Maher Discuss Faith

"I think my opinion on Huckabee has changed. He comes off as being being fair which makes me wonder how well he will do on Fox."

O' romantico, that's dangerous bro!

The Huckster could sell an Eskimo a glass of ice water. Gotta admit his show on Fox is one of my guilty pleasures. Each weekend his band improves by leaps and bounds. The real battle 4 yrs out in the GOP primaries will be between Huck and Sarah Palin for the God vote. Please remember that he came in 2nd only to McCain for the party nom this year.

Just imagine his candidacy with the Fox machine backing him. The weekend show gives him a national audience and the perfect forum in which to show his human side away from the campaign trail.

"However, out of all the Fundies, I find him the most tolerable."

To me, Huck is the salvation of that network. O'Reilly's viewership has plateaued allowing Olberman to move ahead of him. Fox will have even less access to an Obama-Biden administration than it had to Bush-Cheney.

I foresee Huck nabbing some prime interviews with key Obama cabinet members and White House officials at the expense of those other clowns at Fox, if Obama-Biden are successful. Obama eventually met with O'Reilly on Obama's terms.

The upshot of an Obama-Biden victory will be that Sean Hannity will be forced to drag out Bush 1&2-era retreads like Dick Bennett/Karl Rove and Clinton-turncoat Dick Morris to give his show gravitas because the others are now permanently in hiding or anathema.

Hell, Alberto Gonzales can't even find a job at any law firm or school of note and practically all the major publishing houses have taken a pass on Rumsfeld's memoirs.

No one could be a better salesman than Obama - a latter Elmer Gantry. Buy Change . I cannot show you the product but just believe me as I was sent from heaven to save the country from itself. A few years from now he will have to change his tune as blaming GWB for all the problems he will cause will not cut it.

The problem is that after he is elected many will want a refund & the problem is his wares are non refundable.

Roxy - your mistake is assuming that once he is elected, the hard work will be over.

Most of us realize that the work has just begun, and we need to take back the country one step at a time.

You can sit back and complain, grouse and point fingers all you like. Many of us realize that even if Obama wins, nothing can be achieved without a national commitment of hard work and unification.

If he fails, it will be due in part to those who sat on the sidelines, making snarky comments, while others tried to turn things around.

Is there a reason you were linking to the end of a Star Wars movie?

The last statement, "He comes off as being being fair which makes me wonder how well he will do on Fox.", shows how warped your way of thinking is, since most of the shows on Fox always provide fair and equal time to both sides. It would help if you actually watched it for a change instead of adding your third side of the story; sometimes the facts in a story are stretched and others they are kept to a minimal to prevent from revealing other facts. An independent poll showed that Fox gave equal coverage, both negative and positive news, about the candidates; more than any other station, which has been brainwashing people like you with negative, insignificant news about certain candidates (you know who they are). The irony is that you say the Fundies are irrational, when it is probably you who are speaking with emotions rather than logic.

As fair & balanced as Air America was?

I watched the interviews with both Maher and Dreyfuss last night and the best thing I can say about the Dryefuss interview is that Huckabee let him talk....thereby revealing Dreyfuss and long-winded and pretentious, however noble his "civics" mission may be

As for the Maher interview, I found Huckabee as smarmy and superior as I usually do...there's something about those big puppy dog eyes that make me want to smack the smugness off his face half the time.

As Fox hosts go, he's definitely mellower but still a good little soldier for the Fox cause.

Speaking as a former Arkansan who had to live under the Huckabee reign as governor:

Be very careful. He and his butch wife are true pieces of work.

Trust on this. Really.

Oh Goth! PUH-LEASE! Give it already. Have you sen the film? I have and he does not mock religion at all.Go see the film then comment on it. This way you won't look like a moron babbling about something he knows nothing about.

Yeah Goth we get it. Europe bad, America all good.Isn't it about time for fingerpainting to begin or is that after cookies and milk? You need to take a time out.

Please remember that he came in 2nd only to McCain for the party nom this year.

Please remember that Romney had a large lead and over Huckabee and suspended his campaign and that Huckabee's 2nd place finish was about as close as San Diego and Vermont.

Goth, did you see the film? Reason I ask is a man walked out right in the middle of Bill's questioning and they kept it in rather than edit it out. Of course, since you know what you are talking about and OBVIOUSLY have seen the film, you knew that,right? Must have just forgot.Oh, and all Bill did was ask questions.How is that misleading?
