Huckabee Denies Involvement In Our Generation

[Bob Wells]

Danny, don't get me wrong about my comment. I was just looking at other comments and really don't care that Our Generation is advertising. I do have issues that they remain secret and it may cost some candidates votes. My comment about Governor Huckabee is just a generalization of what I think of all politicians.

Boy! What a proud moment that musta been. Not just a liar but a homophobic one at that!

As Governor Huckabee is a politician I find it difficult to think he has never uttered an untruth. While I haven't researched it I suppose that I will just have to register this as my opinion.

Having lived in Arkansas during both Bill Clinton’s and Mike Huckabee’s tenures as Governor of the state, I can state that Bill was an unusually good liar way back then and Mike was an unusually good and honest public servant while Governor. Arkansas prospered under Governor Huckabee. He left office able to look with justified pride at what his Administration accomplished under his leadership.

We’re all too familiar with the grandiosity and sense of entitlement that infect most men and women elected to office. Governor Huckabee had to move out of the Governor’s Mansion for a period of years while the Mansion was renovated. A businessman donated a triple-wide trailer to the state, moved the trailer into the back yard of the Governor’s Mansion, and Governor and Mrs. Huckabee resided in that trailer during the long renovation period.

I tell this to illustrate the servant mentality and unpretentiousness of the man. He is not a perfect man, but I would suggest that he is among the best of the best. To tar him simply because he has given a significant part of his life to public service is beneath you, Bob Wells. I think you’re a better and more thoughtful guy than that.

I would submit to you that were our County Commissioners to successfully emulate Mike’s values and integrity in the conduct of our business, Walton County would be a much better place to live. It would also be a better place to live were its citizens to focus on the attributes, records, and platforms of the candidates themselves rather than on the identities of people lawfully expressing their political opinions, whether in opposition to certain candidates or in support of others.

I will be voting for Bill Fletcher, Melanie Nipper, and Cindy Meadows on the basis of my knowledge of them and of Mr. Imfeld’s and Mr. Chapman’s votes and attitudes while in office, and I’m not at all disturbed by PACs or 501 organizations lawfully expressing their own opinions. I am, however, disturbed by the gratuitous insults slung so freely in this forum at good people. Look around and see where that sort of behavior has taken us, then look in the mirror.

I bet you'd never see Bill Clinton driving a golf cart, shuttling folks from the church parking lot to the building. Pretty certain it wotld be beneath him.

Unfortunately it is easy to cherry pick politicians you like versus ones you don't and claim those you like are clean and fresh fallen snow. An example of this is the attacks on Commissioner Jones, Imfeld, Chapman, Meadows and Comander. Do I agree with what they do all the time, nope. But the will of the voters have placed them in office whether I like it or not. Because Governor Huckabee lived in a trailer or drives a golf court to move people to the front door of the church does not change my opinion of politicians in general. An example I felt was uncalled for happened to Commissioner Jones where people mocked her faith. I get it maybe she wasn't/ isn't portraying what people think she should. I certainly won't judge her for what that. As I said, it was my opinion of what I think of politicians in general and I don’t have any evidence to back it up.

I don't think people mocked her faith I think (at least for myself) I and/or they were mocking the fact she doesn't walk that walk daily.

Because of my agnostic feeling towards faith in general, I just find it highly hypocritical of anyone who professes "Christianity" to not walk in that faith in their daily lives. In other words, it's not (in my opinion) OK to go to Church on Sunday and sit in a pew and profess your faith and not have your actions and personal life reflect that on a daily basis.

The bible directs those whose believe to walk it everyday.

Candidates/politicians are people. They sometimes do wonderful things and sometimes to horrible things. They have skeletons in their closet and all have made mistakes and done things they regret. They all have families and all have ideas about how things should be. Most are just regular people and are neither exceptionally good or bad. Most people run for office, especially those who are not in office, because they think they can make things better for the community. Incumbents often begin to feel a sense of entitlement or think they are indispensable and view holding office as a job or income instead of a calling. Not all feel that way but many do across party lines. People tend to make excuses for the conduct of candidates they like and denigrate those they disagree with. These are just facts and the way things are.

Agree.
