Doesn't Mike Huckabee know that "thou shall not lie" is one of the 10 commandments?

Question

He said that Sarah Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."

THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.

Answer 1

It doesn't count if you have your fingers crossed under the podium.

Answer 2

Are you naive enought to think that there has ever been a politician that doesn't lie?  Nice job cutting and pasting Yahoo's story about the number of votes though.

Answer 3

Huckabee has a reputation for making gaffs.  

Remember the remarks he made last May about Obama being shot at.  He later apologized; however, it raised many eyebrows.  The comments were inappropriate.

To the previous poster:  "Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor" includes lying.

Thank you for sharing this with us.  We now have accurate facts.

Answer 4

That is a flat out lie. Biden never recieved 76,165 votes.  

Answer 5

"Thou shall not lie" is not one of the ten commandments. Read your Bible please.

Answer 6

No, Republican evangelicals are well known for their hypocrisy.  

Answer 7

A lot of christians have no problems with lying especially the Christian right.

Answer 8

I'm sure he does, and couldn't care less.  They use God and Country as a smokescreen for their politics of greed and hate.

Palin's speech was a tissue of lies, all wrapped in a nasty shroud of God, patriotism, and the American way.  

Typical.

Answer 9

he was talking about raw percentages.  he later clarified it.
