To Hucks Army supporters of Mike Huckabee,


The recent reporting and allegations of improper conduct of Senator John McCain by the New York Times are allegations only.

The founders of Huck's Army does not and will not delight or revel in the alledged and unverified claims by a newspaper notorious for it's past history of blatant biased and agenda driven reporting.
Governor Huckabee has made his statement regarding this issue and the
we defer to that offical statement. We would respectfully request that posts and contributions to this forum and blog reflect the same.

Accusations and innuendo of scandal are many times the only weapons of reckless and unscrupulous parties. Our hope would be that as time passes
these allegations would be found to be unfounded and that in the meantime,
truth might prevail.


Sincerely,

Michael A. Brown

Thank you for taking this stand!

Vertical Politics at its best.

Reaffirmation of the reason we are here.

This is the only stand to take. We have fine leadership here..actually, the BEST!!!!

Excellent !! Great Post !!

I'm with you. The timing is quite suspicious.

I absolutely agree. I'm ashamed for blindly believing what the NY Times reported as truth. This goes to show how we can't trust any news source.

Actually, most reports today have remarked that the timing is ridiculous. It is too late to keep him from getting the nomination and too early to affect the general election. I suspect they don't understand about God's timing.

I agree for the most part, but if it IS true and the truth CAN be substantiated by evidence (which, apparently, it's not by the NYT article), we should want the truth to be revealed. This is not irrelevant to the campaign.

Vicki,
As much as I agree with you on other things, let's not presume what God has planned or not planned. Huckabee is not a saint either, and he would be the first one to admit.

It's sad for any of us to be gleeful over a poorly sourced article like this. Some liberal website can throw any accusation at Huckabee for having an adulterous relationship. Is it alright for someone in the Ron Paul forums to say then, "this is God's timing"

I posted this on another thread but I think it pertains to this discussion. I think this is what we mean when we talk about God's role in this.

God helped Gov. Huckabee go from a poor fireman's son deep in the Democratic South to the pulpit of a Baptist Church to the Republican Governor of Arkansas. God blessed Mike Huckabee with the ability to enter the race for President of the United States. He provided him with the resources to be in the race today. God certainly did not cause McCain to have this scandal in the NYT but God knew it was going to happen. It may have taken us by surprise but not Him. When we say "God is in control,” I think we mean, not that God caused the problem, but that He has planned for our provision.

Justin,
As a Christian, I believe that everything that happens is in God's timing. That is all I meant.I am not rejoicing in this news. I am, however, reserving judgment on whether it is true or not. I have been around long enough to know that these things are not always what they seem, from either side. Yes, there are no sources revealed yet. That doesn't mean they don't have them. His longtime aide, Walker, has already contradicted JM's story ON THE RECORD! And, as a citizen, I believe it's always a good thing if someone's deeds are brought into the light. If any of these allegations ARE true, we have a right to know. It has nothing to do with how it will affect the campaign. It's about what's right.

That being said, if we are no longer free to express our thoughts, respectfully, on this forum then I have no further use of it. We cannot become so frightened of others perceptions of us that we can no longer tell the truth as we see it. Do you think Mike Huckabee would quit saying things about his faith because he was afraid someone would think he was a "fanatic"? Absolutely not!! Neither will I. I resent the implication that I should.

I wasn't speaking as any authority on this forum, but just as a regular supporter. I think we should stick with whatever statement Gov. Huckabee puts out, and in this case he wisely has backed McCain.

My concern is that this will divide us and keep us from losing our focus. It is natural that we will disagree on some things. As long as our posts are respectful and do not hurt Mike's cause, I believe it is good for us to get to know one another. In the end knowing each other can make us stronger. There will be disagreements, but we have plenty to unite us! That should always be at the forefront.

I, too, think that it is beneficial to know our opponent. That is what McCain is right now. There are plenty of political stands and issues that divide McCain and Huckabee. If there are substantiated charges regarding McCain's life that show Mike to be the better candidate, I feel it is good to use these to show why we are so adamantly behind him. Until they are substantiated, it's good to take the high road that Mike has chosen.
