Huckabee Baiting
So, during the GO-Pee debate this week our favorite candidate Mike Huckabbe was asked about his position the death penalty, about what Jesus would do about it: Huckabee responded:
You know, one of the toughest challenges that I ever faced as a governor was carrying out the death penalty. I did it more than any other governor ever had to do it in my state. As I look on this stage, I’m pretty sure that I’m the only person on this stage that’s ever had to actually do it. […]
Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office, Anderson. That’s what Jesus would do.
That is interesting. Jesus WAS smart enough no to run for public office. Which is good because Israel was occupied by the Roman Empire, and you know - It had been ruled by a King and shit before that. So, unless Jesus was running for the local water drainage board or the head of the neighborhood watch: he didnt really have a lot of options.
To push this a little further Thinkprogress did some checking about found, in 1997 Huckabee had this to say:
Interestingly enough,” Huckabee allowed, “if there was ever an occasion for someone to have argued against the death penalty, I think Jesus could have done so on the cross and said, ‘This is an unjust punishment and I deserve clemency’
I think if we were to make a syllogism
Jesus was sentenced to the death penalty
Jesus did not ask for clemency
therefore
Jesus supported the death penalty.
i think that is how it worked. But i got a D- in logic.
Also. Huckabee is a religious zealot rapped in Ned Flanders Clothing

Rome did have an elected senate you know...
I like that in Presidential debates it's okily-dokily gee-willikers fine to dodge the fucking question so long as in-so-doing you make a punchline out of your personal lord and savior.
@ kylebrown Rome did have an elected senate you know...
this is true - but it was hardly a representative democracy....only roman citizens of a certain class could hold an office with any real power. And the landholding class, depsite being a minority, had more votes than the lower classes.
Also - that really didnt mean shit if you living out side of the the city of Rome itself. It meant even less for people living in Jerusalem during the 1st century
Yeah.. but they voted to Fuck the Poor.
Mel Brooks wouldn't lie to me.

Jesus, peh, he didn't even sing a song when he was crucified.
His Latin was perfect, though. None of that Romanes eunt dormiens nonsense.
damn latin.

Someone who's efficient and reliable,
Obedient and pliable,
And quieter than a mouse!
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be so nimble,
Fiddling with her thimble,
Mending her gown.
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mike Lewis!
If the list of candidates to choose from was a line of port-o-potties outside a concert, Huckabee would be the one overflowing with diarrhea.
If you want a real candidate with real values, then you want Hillary Clinton. Just trust me.
