One of the best parts about presidential campaigns is dredging up all the ridiculous frightening shit the candidates said a decade ago and throwing it back in their faces now. For example, I Hate Huckabee, back in 1998 at a Souther Baptist pastors' convention:
"I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives."
Very reassuring. Government is wrong, only Jesus is right. Sounds like a guy just dedicated to freedom of religion.
And why is there so much government? He'll tell you:
"The reason we have so much government is because we have so much broken humanity. And the reason we have so much broken humanity is because sin reigns in the hearts and lives of human beings instead of the Savior."
It's funny cause it sounds like he's saying sin should reign in the heart and life of the Savior, in which case the story would have had a whole different ending. Christ Gone Wild!
Also, it's funny because it is fucking terrifying.
