Is Huckabee Rapture Ready?

[randr]

Will he up and disappear it the shit hits the fan?
If he and his followers want the country to take their religious bent seriously they need to address this issue.
When will the media hold their feet to the fire?
Will someone please ask the Huckster if he is a rapturite and what his plans are should the rapture occur!

1. The 'rapture' cultists are a suicide cult

Why doesnt anyone ever mention this? Their ultimate goal is total world destruction which they deem 'necessary.' They believe that all of humanity will be exterminated and they bristle at the thought of 'armageddon.' I bring this up when the righties I work with rant about islam.

2. I think that's a pertinent question

But don't expect anyone in the popular media to ask it or even consider the larger issue. While it's attractive to think of this as media bias, it really has to do with the media's fear of being seen as "meddling" in a candidate's personal religious beliefs, and reporters' own ignorance of what goes into this issue.

But it would be quite interesting to voters to hear an in-depth interview of Mr. Huckabee on this point.

3. Personally I think we should take the Rapturites at their word

I do not think they should be allowed to drive, fly a plane, or be engaged in any activity that would endanger others when they take their professed flight.
