This is important news?

What really matters to me is celebrating the yule time, the ending of the annual dark times and greeting the annual coming of the light as the solstice passes. Huh? Huckabee is only interested in Christians? Wow, I guess the Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, Buddhists and other faiths are out of luck, huh? Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who thinks of everyone, instead of his own, self-centered point of view? We have Bush. Huckabee is just Bush Part 2. I don't know about everyone else, but I've had my fill of a president who puts HIS faith ahead of the rest of the citizens of this country.

just what America needs, its own crazy, militant brand of religion. we can have our own American Taleban!! Huckabee can be our Osama :)

No more Bible thumping,dark ages evengelical Presidents ever! America knows Bible thumping in the White House is a disaster waiting.Never again!

It is about time someone stands up for their faith. It is Christmas and it is about the bith of Christ. You cannot ask Christians to deny that any more then you can ask Muslims to get over symbols of their faith. I say way to go Hauckabee it is about time someone shows us who they are and what they believe in. Then the people can vote if they want you to lead or not. I for one will be keeping an interested eye you now.

Fatesrider: Point well made, I guess if you are not a Christian it would be easy to be offended. However, a person cannot embrace all religions and remain true to their own. And I would much rather have a person that is honest and true to themselves and what they are/believe than a fake or a hypocrit. If you are a Buddhist, you invoke Buddha; if you are a Christian or a Jew, you invoke God and the prophets; additionally Christians invoke Jesus. So, either find a candidate that is not a Christian, or deal with them expressing well wishes, epiteths, etc. in the name of God or Jesus.

A person's religion is a part of that person, they can no more remove that part of themselves and keep it out of their daily life and work than they can remove their heart and stay alive.

That was a good commercial. I'm getting tired of all these smear adds. This was a good break. He would make a good president. His humor reminds me of Ronald Reagan's. He has my vote! Huckabee/ McCain '08!

Better a Christian President than a Muslim one, that's for sure...OOPS, did I say too much? Oh wait...Obama comes from a bloodline of Muslims...my bad. I'm sure Al Qaeda would love that one! Maybe we can all join hands then and sing "Kumbaya" too! No we can't...its a Christian song...or how about "I'd like to teach the world to sing"...Yeah, just like those old Coca Cola commercials in the 70's.

Frankly all this political correctness is driving me nuts. Christians are the majority in this country, and if our president/candidates wants to wish us a merry Christmas than let them! Everyone else can just turn the channel and get over it. We are a Christian majority nation, and anyone else not liking that can move back to wherever their faith is the majority.

It is about time that we have a candidate standing up for Christ. If we had more Christians in office America would not be in as bad of shape as we are. Way to go Huckabee, you have my vote!!!

npborn: He was a good govenor of Arkansas. I know...that's the same thing people said about Clinton, but I didn't live here when Clinton was govenor, so I don't know. I have however lived here while Huckabee was govenor and I liked the way he handled himself, the position and the state as a whole.

The simple fact that this is the TOP STORY on your website shows what little we value in this country and what's wrong with media today.

And by the way, since we are throwing political correctness out the window....Merry Christmas everybody!

I can't vote for someone that doesn't believe in evolution and that's Hickabee.... wait I mean Huckabee. If he wants to preach then let him become a full time minister somewhere in backwoods Arkansas. Let him put on all the Christmas commercials he wants cause he can't win. There's too much out there on him that will make too many voters feel very uncomfortable to vote for him. Well except those on the reich-wing.

At least this political candidate has voiced his religous preference on the matter of Christmas. It seems like everyone is avoiding the C word like it's attached to a deadly disease. My question is how do you celebrate Christmas if you don't believe in Jesus? Christmas, after all, is the celebration of Jesus' birth. If you don't believe in Jesus you shouldn't be celebrating Christmas.

Danny....the fact that it is the top story may imply that people are interested in candidates that remain true to themselves and don't become instantaneous hypocrites the minute they announce their candidacy. This is actually something worthwhile to read in my opinion...it shows a bit of his character, which is what we all need to see of all the candidates.

Why not do a festivus messagE? That way everyone is included.

jeremyfix: What does a belief in evolution have to do with being a Christian? I am a Christian, Episcopalean by denomination, and I do believe in evolution. The two are quite easily combined, so I'm not real sure what you mean.

Faith in politics.....This is why we need
RON PAUL.....Huckabee gets me sick!!!! I
hear he dosen't even have a THEOLOGICAL
degree!!!!!! WHAT A LIAR.....

Good for him. Let's see, it's "Christ"mas time and Huckabee is a "Christ"ian. Refreshing. Though, sadly, no Republican has a shot in '08 thanks to Bush.

Rather than a THEOLOGICAL degree how about a real degree like and ENGINEERING degree.
