"Faith doesn't just influence me. It really defines me. I don't have to wake up every day wondering what do I need to believe," Huckabee says in the ad. "Let us never sacrifice our principles for anybody's politics. Not now, not ever."
- Huckabee

I would like a well rounded president who is all three. Notice how you said "himself" =)

Once upon a time it was a fact that:
The earth was flat
the earth was the center of our universe
there were wmds in Iraq
Facts are being disproven all the time, the teachings of the christian faith have been consistent for over 2000 years based on the older religion of Judaism.
And while not a fact, I believe a person's strength of charactor is stronger with some spiritual guidance.

In the real world, not everything is a matter of facts and lies. Some things are not known. Concerning any unknown thing where you must make a choice, your choice will be based on faith. Were it that we could have a 100% fact-driven world (I wish) I'd say facts, but then what do you do when their are no facts? You make a decision based on faith, even if you're an atheist.

I think Huckabee is a world-class flip-flopper and I think Religion has no place in the White House.
I don't mind if the candidates are religious on their own time, but Huckabee wants to erase the line...

I would rather have a President who will review the facts then make a factual decision based with his humanity and concern for all the people and that may be his faith and his love for all people.

There's not a whole lot of difference between faith in a Bible and faith in a failing ideology that sounds great in textbooks. When you're refusing to look at the state of the nation and potential solutions to problems objectively it doesn't really matter what the driving force behind your belief is. You're still failing to accomplish anything that's realistic and sustainable.

Fact based reality. As we have witnessed faith based doesn't equal moral choices.

well, lets ponder this.....
somebody who makes decisions for the entire country, and relays on fairy tales to decide thing, vs. somebody who makes decisions for the entire country, and relays on SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to decide things.
This IDIOT BUSH is living in a fantasy world, and the religious wackos love his faith based craziness.
Look back to Regan, while still in his last term of office, was completely suffering from Alzheimer's disease. His wife Nancy was actually running the country, and she was relying on her horoscope to make decisions in Regan's name.
Again, loved by the religious nut jobs. Cons should be grateful that out of respect, Dem's never bothered to character assassinate the Regan's for this. it was enough that during all investigations, that the standard Con battle Hymn was invoked" I Don't Remember"!

One could say that the invasion of Iraq was based on "faith", the Bush Administration had placed total faith in the idea that invading Iraq would be cool.
So my two words for future Presidents who define themselves on a faith based reality:
NEVER AGAIN!
