Huckabee Supports Candidates Who Support Torture

Mike Huckabee launched his political action committee last week (http://www.huckpac.com). Mike Huckabee ran this year as the darling of the Religious Right capture large segments of the fundamentalists that make up much of the of the base of the Republican Party.

He unfortunately is already supporting candidates who support torture, but torture ought to be something that PAC based on "the principles that make America great: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" ought to be against. A number of bloggers are already highlighting the hypocracy of Mr. Huckabee.

"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."

"So I think we need to ask Mike Huckabee two very simple questions:

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?
Will you require the candidates supported by your campaign to take a stand against torture?"

There's been some rumblings about the faith bloggers joining forces for anti-toture campaign targeted at Huckabee and other leaders of the religious right...if folks are interested let me know.
