I'd love to read the speech he gave when he came to Salt Lake to participate in the "Save the Mormons" conference. Unfortunately, the campaign refuses to allow people to read it.
I'll bet they do. I'd love to see that one, too.

The AIDS comment was made by Huckabee way back in 1992 before he knew that AIDS couldn't be transmitted through the air or through normal skin contact
In other words, he was taking a drastic public policy position on a subject he didn't know anything about. When it comes to public policy, ignorance really is no excuse.

The south really needs to catch up on that whole education thing. In 1992 it was common knowledge that you couldn't catch AIDS through skin contact or the air. I learned that in elementary school in the 1980s.
In the South, we like to restrict our discussion of STDs to If you have sex, you gonna die. That's the way Jesus wants it. :rolleyes:

Just wanted to make people aware that Huckabee wasn't educated on AIDS back then and considered it a health crisis.

Haha thank you for that great sign! Anyway, obviously you all have your issues with Huckabee and I'm not going to argue with that. I have my own reasons for supporting him. Everyone makes mistakes.

I think we should all strive to not be as ignorant as we used to be (like John McCain about the economy).

Actually he can still win the nomination, he needs to win enough delegates to keep McCain from getting to 1191 before the convention, at which point it would become a brokered convention, where he could then become the nominee. Of course, these are very long odds, but it is still possible.

Perhaps that's why Romney hasn't released his delegates. I seriously doubt he would release them to vote for Huckleberry though...and I doubt they would. The Utah delegates would probably try to vote in the Democrat's convention before they'd vote for Huckabee.

Yeah, Romney definitely didn't seem like he wanted to support Huckabee. He said that the reason he dropped out was so the republicans could unite behind one candidate to beat the democrats, and he said he agreed with McCain's foreign policy.

Funny that Romney wouldn't run to support the campaign that said it wanted to "knock his teeth out."

Gotta love that good old-fashioned Christian love. At least they're not burning down our houses anymore...
