The Illogical Mike Huckabee

I watched Mike Huckabee's interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and I have to say that I don't get Huckabee's logic. Watch the interview:


Huckabee seems to be boil things down to its simplest form to make his arguments. He is against the bailout of the automakers in US because he doesn't want congress making cars, even though Congress is only lending money and not taking part in the design or manufacturing process. But what really gets me is that he thinks same-sex marriage should not be allowed because anatomically it doesn't make sense and marriage should used to make the next generation.

Seriously?

So is he against abortion because it doesn't allow the propagation of the humans? If that is the case, then he should for all for same-sex marriage and gay adoption. Here's why: a same-sex couple is not capable of having children "naturally" so there will never been the need for an abortion; a fetus that would have been aborted could be adopted by a same-sex couple or gay person thereby making Pro-Lifers happy and creating the next generation. Everyone wins ... right?

Huckabee also tries to make the argument that since he's against same-sex marriage, doesn't mean he is homophobic. But to me, this is the equivalent of saying, "I am not a racist, but I don't want Black people living in my neighborhood." It could have been worst -- he could have said that he's not homophobic because he has a gay best friend.

The heart of the same-sex marriage debates is the use of the word 'marriage'. I feel that if we just change the wording and just called Civil Unions, and it gave all the rights of marriage on the the state and federal level, what is the big deal?I know it may feel like it's a separate but equal way of thinking, but when is anything really equal?

Mike Huckabee on the show to talk about his book which, by his own admission, is about how you should treat people the way you would like to be treated. I think he should make an addendum stating this only applies to those who believe in what I do ... because this is what his words imply.

Anyway ... I will get off my soapbox now.

Barack Obama - The 44th President of the United States of America

So, he won.

When John Kerry lost in 2004, I was really down because we was doing so well and somehow George Bush won. With Obama, it was never really a tight race. The election was over when he won Pennsylvania and Virginia. Florida and Ohio were just icing on the cake. So instead of being extremely happy about Obama being the first person of color in the White House come 2009, I feel a sense of calm with a tinge of apprehension.

Now the hard part begins. He cannot be just an okay president ... he has to be exceptional, because his blazing a path for any person of color who aspires to be president. He has to try to deliver what he promised to the American people, or else in 2012 he will not be re-elected.

On totally different note: why is Jill Biden trying to steal Michelle Obama's shine with that lime green outfit? You know Michelle gave her some vicious side-eye when she saw her in the color.

I Voted ...

... and didn't even get a sticker so I can flaunt my voting to others. But as consolation, the election office I went to had two trannies running things.

Progress.

America's Next Vice President (ANVP)

It has been reported that Barack Obama will select his Vice-Presidential running mate this Saturday. The question is: who will he choose?

This could be a great reality show starring Barack Obama. Like Tyra, host of America' Next Top Model (ANTM), instead of handing out photos to the girls who make to the next round, Obama can hand out keys to White House. The person who doesn't get a key can be dismissed with this:

"It's time for change. I am sorry but you have been eliminated as my VP nominee. Please leave your key in the Oval office on your way out."

Can't you see it? You know Hillary would be the one screamed at by Obama, like Tyra did to Tiffany.

For me, he must choose Hilary Clinton has his running mate in order to be president. Choosing anyone else would make me nervous that the Democrats will not win this November. There are roughly 13% of undecided voters and the roughly half of those people are Hilary supporters. Why risk throwing away these potential votes? I don't think Hillary is out on the campaign trail for Obama if there wasn't a VP quid pro quo agreement. They are the two strongest Democrats running and it would be unwise for them not to run together.

John Edwards at one was being consider, but after he admitted and extramarital affair (and possibly fathered a child) he is no longer being considered. Bill Richardson (D-NM) could be considered, and would be interesting to see two non-white males on the same ticket, but it could make them less popular in the "red" states.

We'll see what happens on Saturday.

edited: He has chosen Joe Biden.


He is experienced but the maybe a bit out of touch with the computer geeks ... like myself. I am a bit concerned with this ticket. I just hope he doesn't have any skeletons in his closet.
