Five For Fighting Frontman Interviews Presidential Candidate

I disagree with Gov. Huckabee on a lot of issues, but at least he seems sentient and sane, as opposed to, for example, the current occupant of the white house.

Bad ideas -- non-ideas actually -- about Iraq.
Baloney about how much we "should" be spending on "defence."
Nonsense from the Gov, softball questions.

This was like a bad infomercial for the Huckabee campaign. Poorly scripted with a message that plays to your fears. By the way, genocide is already going on in Iraq and has been going on in Darfur for longer but nobody cares because they don't have any oil to steal. And sorry, but I don't give a rat's patootey about what any man has to say about abortion.

Dear Gov. Huckabee,
I am a Christian Conservative Republican. I live in Connecticut and am a member of the Republican Town Committee (District Leader).
I have an email list of approximately 1,500 people; most of whom are Christians and Conservative. I communicate with most of these people on a daily basis through emails.
As much as I have come to learn about you I could support you on just about every issue except one; your position on Israel. Of course the first question usually asked; "are you (me) anti-Israel or anti-semitic"; no, but I am pro-USA. I believe that many if not most of Bush's advisors are neocons (passionately pro-Israel), and therefore have dual loyalties. I have no problem with their unwavering support of Israel, I just don't want them in a position of undue influence and authority whereas there would be a conflict of interest.
I think that the war in Iraq was wrong; it hurt the president, hurt the Republican Party, hurt the conservative movement, and hurt America; and it might hurt us (Republicans) in the upcoming elections as well.
I know as a Christian, that many believe the Israel of the New Testament is today's State of Israel; I believe that the body of Christ is the New Testament Israel.
I wish that I could support you, but this is a critical issue, the only way that we can mediate in the Middle East is if we're unbiased, and we haven't been, and from what I hear from your campaign you will continue that bias that alienates us and causes mistrust from the multitude of people in that area of the Middle East.
If I am misunderstanding your position, please let me know; I am tired of having to vote "the lesser of the evils."
Thank you for your time,
Nick F
