Huckabee

Huckabee is a Virgo, which makes him puritanical at least on the surface. He is, after all, a Baptist minister. Underneath he’s something different. He has 5 Leo planets and a massive Venus (love), Mars (sex), Pluto (obsessive and dark), Sun (ego) conjunction in the sign of the Lion. With Saturn (restriction) in Scorpio (sex) and possibly the Moon (emotions), this is a fellow that is obsessed with sex and this obsession is probably the reason that he used to be so fat. The fatter he was, the less likely he would be able to express his lust. Lust and the ministry don't go together unless you're Ted Haggard. Apparently, he also has very fat children. One of them slit a dog’s throat while he was a counselor at a Boy Scott camp. Needless to say he was fired but then Huckabee tried to have it covered up.

If it sounds like I’m prejudiced against fat people, I’m not. I’m overweight myself. I just think that if we put the obesity along side of those sexually obsessive aspects, we have another instance of a repressed Republican, fat or not, who will try to control our sex lives.

There are other reasons that I don’t want Huckabee in the White House. He thinks that humans were created in 4000 BC and evolution is a fairy tale. He thinks that women should always play second fiddle to their men. He can’t understand that there needs to be a separation between church and state and he has hung out with the likes of John Hagee, that Christian Zionist who’s waiting for the world to end so he can sit in an angelic sleigh with God almighty and his look-a-like, Santa Claus. He has no discernment as far as character goes. Huckabee was instrumental in getting the parole board to release a prisoner that had raped a distant cousin of Bill Clinton’s. After all he was just doing his “Christian duty”, which was actually a method of getting even with Clinton. Then this guy, Wayne Dummond, went out and raped and murdered two other women. It’s certainly a worse story then the old Willie Norton fable because as I remember it, Governor Dukakis had no hand in letting the killer go.

He appears to be an affable populist but underneath he’s a sex crazed maniac that wants to rein as the Lord of America. Well, maybe that’s a little bit of over the top, but it worries me that he associates with the religious right wing and their tight little bunch: people like Tim LaHaye and Jerry Falwell when he was alive. Tim LaHaye is the flaky novelist that’s written those dangerous “left behind books”. You know the ones that say that if three people are sitting at a table and only one is a Christian, he or she’ll be the one that will be raptured and taken right then to heaven. And the other two will be “left behind” to deal with the END OF THE WORLD on their own. You’d better not be in a car when one of the saved is driving. He’ll be lifted up into heaven while you are left in a car without a driver. Kind of a problem.

Then I really didn’t like it when Huckabee was out in the Iowa boondocks killing birds. It reminded me of the evil mastermind, Dick Cheney. What kind of person enjoys killing things? My friend, Fred, said the kind that never went to war.

The only war mongering Republican that went to battle was crazy McCain who sings, “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” to the Beach Boys tune and says we could stay in Iraq for another hundred years. Today I almost had a heart attack when I thought about the possibility a McCain/Huckabee ticket.

Today, my friend, Howard, said emotionally he couldn’t handle any of the Republicans becoming president after 7 years of bastard Bush. He’s been so angry and distraught with the idiot-in-chief that he just wouldn’t be able to cope. Like Howard, all of us are holding on to a thread.
