I put this together today, and would like advice on opinions. It may help if you are of a religious background to understand it...the videos are very "Market specific".

Also, if anybody has any other ideas for making a YouTube video, I'll be glad to listen and see what we can do...also, if you watch any of my YouTube videos and have some criticisms of them, I'll gladly consider them and see about changing them...

Yeah as a Christian it does sounds off the mark for sure but you know, most Christians are not so accomplished at being perfect and therefore do not expect perfection from their brethren. To me it looks like a weak shot at a Christian made by someone who thinks it is easy to be perfect. Only a Christian can understand how impossible it is to be perfect at being a Christian and non-christians only see the hypocrisy, they don't see the effort.

Now I do not defend Huckabee and I don't even know if he is a sincere Christian or just someone who claims the Name for personal gain. I don't even try to figure that out. I just know that holding Christians to the standard of Christ is best left to the individual who is making the honest effort to be the Christian. Again non-believers are quick to spot discrepancies but they have not made the attempt themselves and so they are not armed with the weighty verdict of "hypocrite" to the degree they might expect.

I suggest you search for some political evidence of poor governance. I don't think this will bother most Christians very much and honestly I don't think it should. Then again I find it unsavory coming from a minister. If he were simply a layperson then it would not bother me, from a minister yes it does but that wouldn't change my vote. I would look for untrustworthiness.

Yea, watch my other YouTube videos on him about his record...
I am a Christian myself, and when I heard Huckabee say this, I couldn't believe it, because he is the man pandering to the Christian right and that is what makes me sick.

For some reason this video (the hunting video) around Christmas time really struck me the wrong way. He thinks he's being so cute and funny when he says things like "deflate your neighbors tires if he's not going to vote for me", if your roommate isnt going to vote for me block the doorway and dont let him get out of bed in the morning", and the hunting video (below) took the cake where he says "this is what happens when you don't vote for me" (pointing to the dead pheasant).

I think his hunting video is the worst of all - maybe make a video including that as well.

I'm glad you nailed that ghoul with his despicable laugh. I always wish there would be a video of all the laughing candidates during the debates. Nice videos you have made,

Thank You !!

That one never really bothered me, being that I'm sarcastic and that's the way I took that one...

I have to agree with Dave on that one. As Christians, we should know it is not our job to judge others.

[joe77]

Why are we talking about Mike Huckabee? lol what a waste of time sorry

[coffeewithchess]

Bringing up and playing his own words is judging him? I thought it was just pointing out the obvious that he was playing politics in South Carolina.
Also, does anybody else have any good ideas for videos? I think McCain is next...even though I didn't think pointing out the obvious about McCain was necessary, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and now maybe Louisiana have proven me wrong.
