WARNING - THE FOLLOWING MAY UPSET THE APPLECART....YOU MAY WANT TO SKIP BY THIS POST AND MOVE ON
In the pas few days I had decided to stay away from this thread until I read up on this person. For a political figure I oddly had never heard of him before or knew why he was so important. After doing my homework I can safely say that I do not and will not hail the former Senator for his stance on the issues or what he stood for. However I must admire the fact that (based on what I have researched) that he meant what he said and he said what he meant. He convictions were rock solid (though very misguided and horrible). There are not many politicians that I have ever come across that can be known for having rock-solid convictions.
I am very disturbed by the reaction from some about the statement from Governor Mike Huckabee on Fox News the other night. Mike stated that "Obama should have the conviction of Helms" The Detractors assume that the statement meant that Huckabee was saying that Obamam shiould have the same views as Helms did and that is not the case. Huckabee was stating the fact that you knew where Helms stood on the issues and that Obama does not have that quality as he continues to wobble around on issues of importance (good, bad, or indifferent).
