Screw the Republicans

You would almost think I'm an American citizen, the amount of posts I'm using to write about the upcoming elections, but I guess it's just something I'm really interested in, so pardon me for doing so, but here's another one.

Today I'd like to talk a bit about Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor (as was Bill Clinton) Republican second tier (at this moment, but who knows what happens) hopefully for the White House. I suppose Kuckabee isn't as high profile outside of the United States as Clinton, Obama or Guliani, but I do think he's a force to be reckoned with. What seems to be the case? The entire Christian Right, lead by fuckers such as Don Wildmon and James Dobson is flocking together to support him as the Republican (what else when it comes to the Bible Belt) candidate.

There is something fundamentally wrong with this. Both American Family Association (AFA) and Focus on the Family (FotF) are tax exempt organisations. Now I may not be an expert on the subject, but as far as I know this status prevents them from taking on a political statement, let alone actually supporting a candidate. So how do they do it? Simple: Dobson only makes 'personal statements' that of course have nothing to do with his ministry, while AFA, through OneNewsNow, is very very selective when it comes to the news items they post. In order words: only news that's positive for Huckabee, or, even better, negative news about the other candidates or (God forbid) the Democrats.

Anyway, needless to say Huckabee is another homphobic, pro-life, conservative nutcase, but the scary thing of course is that those are exactly the kind of people who might have a chance of winning in the United States. For some reason the evangelists are a force to be reckoned with. Let's pray to God (how ironic is that) the Democrats will conquer, not just for the Americans, but for the entire world!
