Huck’s just getting started… so are we

Originally posted at Faithfully Liberal.

In Mr. Huckabee's latest blog post to his Huck PAC website he says they are just getting started in making a difference to help elect Republicans in November with a push for contributions from supporters. But it reveals something more profound than just that. While I have been unable to have my messages returned from Huck PAC, Mr. Huckabee provides a powerful insight:

HuckPAC will give us an opportunity to have a direct impact on elections. We will not support any and every candidate who wants money, advice, or endorsement. We want to support those who reflect the same values as those who contribute to the PAC and who principles are more important than the "politics of convenience."

The organization and himself are being selective in who they support and as a guidance they must have the same values as Huck PAC contributors.

Mr. Huckabee, do you or your contributors support the use of torture?

Simple question considering that the first Congressman that Huck PAC endorsed supports the use of waterboarding as he voted against banning it or overriding the President's veto. Is that a value that Huck PAC endures Mr. Huckabee? Really, its a simple question that can be answered distinctly.

He continues:

We look for candidates who understand the imperative of respecting human life as core to our civilization…

I agree with you there Mr. Huckabee, that respect of human life is core to our civilization. But maybe we disagree on the underlying meaning of it. Torture is the destruction of the physical and emotional psyche of a human life. Its practice by the current administration is against that core in which you speak.

We continue to call upon you to answer two simple questions:

1. Will you affirm the Christian faith and the American principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by signing the Evangelical Declaration Against Torture?
2. Will you require the candidates supported by your campaign to take a stand against torture?

If someone from Huck PAC wants to finally return my messages please email me. We too are just getting started.
