News All I'm doing is saying

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee believes Earth is 6,000 years old and that gay sex was invented in 1968.
Such "moral clarity" is why he recently displaced actor Fred Thompson as the favorite presidential candidate of Georgia Republicans.
In other words, the only Republican more popular than the drawling, do-nothing actor is the aw-shucks know-nothing minister.
My fellow Georgians, this is what people are talking about when they call us bumpkins.

call us bumpkins..... and demonstrate their ignorance of our lovely state and polls with 5% margins of error. The poll is garbage statistics. It has Huck and Fred within the margin of error and Julie within 1 point of MoE. A whack -job leads the Republicans in GA just as a whack-job named Dean led the Dems at this point in 04. Primary campaigns are showcases for party weirdos like Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich, Carol Mosely-Braun, Rev Sharpton, Gary Bauer, Alan Keyes, David Duke, Ross Perot (general election), Pat Buchanan, etc etc I get the humor of your post, but I think there are much better reasons to call us bumpkins.

Huckabee is a moron on all the reasons you mentioned. When I hear him say that crap I cringe knowing I'll probably be voting for him in the primary. He's the only candidate actively supporting the FairTax and that's good enough for me. How can someone so dumb about creationism/homosexuality be so on target when it comes to taxes? You may now bash me for being a Boortz drone.
Believe it or not, I appreciate Boortz for writing a book about taxes instead of about wars on Christmas or how liberals want Bin Laden to be President. That said, I think the national sales tax/income tax abolition (what many call the FairTax) is a very bad idea. Huckabee's tax ideas, in my opinion, are just as poorly thought out as everything else he puts forth as policy. I disagree with them on serious issues, but at least McCain, Romney, and, to a lesser extent, Giuliani are substantial, intelligent candidates. Completely wrong on foreign policy, but not morons.
Fair enough. The only thing I would add is there have been several sales tax/income tax abolition plans, only one of them is the FairTax and that's the one I'm on board with. The others still tax income at some level, have exclusions, or other differences which make them inferior (imo).
