Romney accepts Huckabee apology

Nice move but the damage is done.
It's like the lawyer who retracts his statement to the jury.
But the jury will remember.

Huckabee is deliberately trying to make his point ... southern Baptists creed states that Mormonism is a cult. He is not innocent as he claims.

Huckabee apologizing is not neccesary. Read Mormon Doctrine. It's in your history. Believe me Utah votes will not decide the Republican nomination.

Huckabee has shown the content of his character... and he is lacking.

I thought more of him until this past week. Now I think he's totally unqualified for the job and just another power hungry bigot. What a disappointment.

I have never voted for a democrate but if Huckababy is the Republican nominee, I will vote for Hillary.

Nothing innocent about Mr. Huckabee�s remark. I feel quite sure he well knew the impact it would have, and will continue to have every time someone reports on it, when he said it. He surely couldn�t be that naive.

Such a low act from one professing to be religious, especially after his saying to CNN concerning Mitt Romney, "I said, 'I would never try, ever to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it an issue,' and I wouldn't." His true colors are beginning to show!

I just put in a comment, and it was not posted. can you say BIASED news publication!!!

Huckabee is a Baptist Preacher and always will be. He made it a point to mention that he is the only one running with a theology degree--as if that is important for the position of President. This definitely shows that he has no tolerance for any other religion than his own.

The comment, or question, is what you would expect when the candidates are religious zelots. Religion should have no place in American politics (Utah, unfortunately, excepted).

Let's see. Mr. Huckabee is showing his predjudice against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and members of that Church are ganging up on Mr. Huckabee. What does that show the world about the core values of those members? I was taught better than that in Primary, and, I hope that I'm teaching better than that now in Sunday School.

There was no reason for Huckabee to apologize to Romney. Mormons do belive that Jesus and Satan are bothers. Mormon religion is unique in many ways from other christian church believes. Romney should apologize for cowarding away from his religious believes. It could be that Mormonism is correct in many of their believes (who knows; nobody knows). America has the right to hear the true believes of her candidates for president because the president is always influenced by his/her personal values and religious believes. For example: president Bush's crusade war in Iraque, and his sensing the soul of Putin. Bush prays everyday for devine intervention. Does God side with him (who knows). Perhaps God feels the Middle East people should work their problems out amongs themselves without foreign intervention, who knows.

thanks for posting my comments. all i can say is...God please help us during this election!

The reality is that Mitt is the only candidate who will be able to beat the Democrats. While Huckabites attack Romney they are only pointing the guns inward, and they will have only themselves to blame when Hillary and Bill decimate the Constitution and basic Christian priniciples.

Mitt is a moderate, conservative, with no checkered past. And he really is the Republicans' last hope.

A vote for Mike, is a vote for Hillary.

It must have been killing Huckabee to stay silent on this issue for so long. Question is, how many evangelicals are applauding him for having the courage to make this "slip"? This is a big deal to them. To put it in perspective, how many LDS would readily elect a Satanist, Moonie, or Scientologist?

I understand how hard it must be for some - Mitt Romney is a good man with a clean and impressive record - squeaky clean. This leaves his faith as the only thing left to attack. If it's not frightening enough to even consider Hillary being elected, it's even more alarming to see a candidate attacked for believing in the very principals upon which this country was founded. This great country is in a bad way...

Yes, Romney and Huckabee are brothers.

I don't believe that you're in any position to say what Mormons really believe. That said, The LDS church and members have told us what they believe. It gets to be like an old record that skips and people grap onto one sentence again and again no matter how many times it's answered. If you disagree, fine. But it's been answered, and by someone (several someones) who knows more about the Mormons than you.

Mormons have been so preoccupied with setting themselves apart from mainstream Christianity, that they are surprised that they are viewed as a cult.
I find that very ironic.

haha ok, so then why are any of us commenting on it if the church already said it's position. we can say what us mormons believe.
I believe huckabee and satan are brothers too

Baba-Ji, that was great. LOL.
