The fact that that scares you, scares me. Nothing personal, but if you can't trust a man to uphold his oath of office, how can you trust him at all?
The first thing every elected official does is swear to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (etc.). Voting NO on anything that is not in the Constitution is precisely
why Ron Paul is the only candidate qualified for the job.
Politicians have a thousand things to do every day (and even vote on) that are not related to the constitution. some of the stuff he votes no on is ridiculous.
Those thousand things all violate their sworn oath and solemn promise. Ron Paul being left standing alone to vote "no" is a shameful indictment of the other 534, and an indication of how far we have retreated from honoring the restraints of the Constitution.
Huckabee- I'm only now starting to pay attention but I fear he has signifigant skeletons in the closet. Time will tell.
Slickabee. "A Place Called Hope -- The Saga Continues". I like Mike -- he's smart, funny, quick-witted, a great preacher, and I hope he never holds elected office again. Except for the serial adultery, he's Bill Clinton all over again.
