While I could not sup****t Mike Huckabee, because he is very liberal on some
social issues; while I sup****t Ron Paul, who has always been faithful to
his
oath to uphold the Constitution [see
http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/Paul2.htm];
I must take exception to
your
comments, as noted below:

When did he ever say that God had told him any such looney thing?
Challenge
the man on the ideas that he would seek to introduce as President, into
the
contem****ary Federal Political debate, but do not demagogue the real
issues,
with this sort of unfair attack.

This is pure silly pap, making light of serious theological issues, even
as
your post, in general, is a distraction from serious political issues.

This is pure nonsense, and you probably realize that it is, but have some
sort of need to trivialize people's Faith. Anyone who prays--and that is
most of the population--talk to God. While most do not claim a direct
answer, there is the implication of an answer being sought in most prayer.
Get off your smug high horse, and stop playing silly word games.
But again, I will not sup****t Huckabee. Ron Paul is the intelligent
Conservative choice. [http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/Paul2.htm],
but
we
do not need to take cheap shots at others to get the essential message
across.
