GOP debate highlights

Wolf Blitzer asked [Mike] Huckabee about his comments on Mitt Romney’s faith, as published in the New York Times magazine this Sunday. The article highlighted this sentence from the new GOP frontrunner in Iowa: "Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

This is part of what Huckabee said:

"After the debate today I went to Mitt Romney and apologized to him, because I said, I would never try, ever, to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it, you know, an issue, and I wouldn’t."

Except when he would.

Nevertheless, Huckabee appears to be correct:

We needed a Savior to pay for our sins and teach us how to return to our Heavenly Father. Our Father said, "Whom shall I send?" Two of our brothers offered to help. Our oldest brother, Jesus Christ, who was then called Jehovah, said, "Here am I, send me." * * *

Satan, who was called Lucifer, also came, saying, "Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind ..."

Half brothers, perhaps, in a polygamous schema.

In another equally compelling GOP debate controversy, Alan Keyes reportedly apologized to Duncan Hunter for suggesting that, "Spiderman could totally kick the crap out of the Incredible Hulk."
