look, I've seen his ads and heard his speeches. I am not relying on "what others say about him"!

Christians believe in a god that needs blood to wash sins....what more can you say, don't ask them to make sense.

Huckabee's open Christianity bothers me no more than other politicians being "politically correct", ad nau·se·am.
In my thinking, trying to satisfy everyone satisfies no-one.
If non-Christians feel strongly that they should have the right to say what they feel and think, shouldn't the Christians that they disagree with have the same right? Equal rights for Christians!

Take it from an Arkansan who had to deal with Huckabee as a governor -- It's no act. He really, genuinely believes all the religious crap he says.

Yes. It bothers me. It seems like he wants to get the questions and attention redirected to religion and away from his horrible record of being soft on illegals, soft of violent criminals, increasing the intrusion of government, his ethics problems, and his many tax increases. He is trying to manipulate people into voting religion instead of policies and issues.
We are not electing a Sunday School teacher, we are electing a president and need someone with experience, ethics and the right stand on important issues (illegal immigration, taxation, national security, crime, etc)
He talks about bringing everyone together. Those are just words that mean nothing to him. How can he say that when he smears the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have anti Catholics working in him campaign? When one of his people bashed Catholics huck was asked to apologize for it and he refused. He offended many LDS with the things he said about us, if he was truly sorry he would publicly apologize, but he hasn't. How can he claim to want to bring people together when he purposely says things to divide? Its like if you don't think exactly like him you and your feelings don't count.
I endured huck as governor and was very disappointed in how liberal he governed. I voted for him and felt very betrayed because he did not govern the way he promised he would. He is an accomplished liar, please check his record instead of just listening to his slick words.

The fact that the religious beliefs of the candidates, and the "my belief in Jesus is better than your belief in Jesus" debate that they seem to be having with each other and the "I can bring my religious "morals" to the white house better than you can should be frightening us ALL. Their religion is being made into the biggest issue of their campaigns. We hardly hear about anything else.

Yes it does - I'm a Christian, however I believe in seperation of church and state - a candidate's platform should not be about how they will bring religion to the whitehouse.

I didn't know he was shameless playing the religion card but if he is, it is no more shameless than the press continually badgering Romney about his religion. You can't have it both ways.

They guy is a minister. He IS the religion card. I would be more inclined to think that the GOP is playing the religion card if they back him.

He is like all the rest, trying to become powerful with religion as the bait on the hook, well this fish is moving to deeper warters.

Any Christian that deeply involved in politics bothers me, by definition.
