Statement from Mike Huckabee on Jimmy "Mr. Peanut(head)" Carter

I was in the middle of a blog when I decided to check my e-mail and I noticed I got an email from the Huckabee Campaign. It is a statement on Jimmy Carter's comments about President Bush. The same comment can be found on his website. Instead of blogging about it I thought I would just simply copy and paste. His statement just shows he has common sense. Anyways I need to get off the computer my cat, Joe, thinks it's funny to get on top of my computer desk and throw music CDs at me. Please take time to read.

Statement by former Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR) on the New Baptist Covenant Celebration:

"While I continue to have great respect for President Carter as a fellow Christian believer and Baptist, I’m deeply disappointed by the unusually harsh comments made in my state this past weekend regarding President Bush, and feel that it represents an unprecedented personal attack on a sitting president by a former president which is unbecoming the office as well as unbecoming to one whose conference is supposed to be about civility and bringing people together. "President Carter violated an unspoken code that you don't make personal attacks on others who currently hold the job -- you just don't. "I tentatively agreed to participate in the Baptist meeting with the understanding that it was a celebration of faith and not a political convocation. In light of the program and roster of speakers, as well as the very harsh comments toward our president this weekend, I feel it would be best for me to decline the invitation and to not appear to be giving approval to what could be a political, rather than spiritual agenda. “Had I spoken at the New Baptist Covenant Celebration, they would have heard a very conservative message which would be unapologetically pro-life, pro-family and by some definitions, fundamentalist in theology. But I’m a conservative who’s not mad at anyone else and would not want to knowingly participate in a program if the focus was to tear down others instead of to lift Christ up.”
"Withdrawing from the gathering is one of the few ways that I can show my disappointment in the comments that were made this weekend
