WOLF WATCH: MORE THAN A FULL DECK

Outline of Over 50 Simple Reasons a Christian Should NOT Support Rev. Mike Huckabee.

RELIGIOUS

1. Rev. Huckabee is a member of the LIBERAL wing of the Southern Baptist Convention. Paul Pressler, a former Texas judge who led the conservative SBC revolt, said, "I know of no conservative he appointed while he headed the Arkansas Baptist Convention." The liberals (AKA moderates) in the SBC are the ones who don’t believe the Bible literally, often denying the Genesis accounts and miracles, while rejecting the stated authorship of many books of the Bible.

2. He took a vow to support the Constitution, which requires Congress to declare war. But he supports skirting the Constitution for the attack on Iraq. God says those who break vows are “fools” (Ecc. 5:4).

3. Said he'd ignore the Constitution "in a heartbeat" if Congress opposed the war.

4. Backpedaled on denial of evolution. Said he would encourage evolution be taught and make creation illegal in public schools.

5. Said amnesty and freebies for illegal aliens is God's way for America to atone for slavery.

666. Suggested tracking people with marks like FedEx.

7. Whined about how congregants of the Baptist church he left didn't want to continue paying his health insurance.

8. If he's a legitimate Baptist preacher he shouldn't have demoted himself from the office of Pastor to seek a lesser office.
