Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee gestures as he participates in the Des Moines Register/Iowa Public Television Republican presidential debate in Johnston, Iowa, USA, 12 December 2007. The first political test of the 2008 will be the Iowa caucus on 03 January 2008. EPA/ANDREA MELENDEZ / POOL"I'm as strong on terror as anybody. In fact I think I'm stronger than most people because I truly understand the nature of the war that we are in with Islamofascism. These are people that want to kill us. It's a theocratic war. And I don't know if anybody fully understands that. I'm the only guy on that stage with a theology degree. I think I understand it really well."The problem is Mike Huckabee doesn't have a theology degree. He was asked about that at a news conference in New Hampshire today.Read his response below. "I have a bachelor of arts in religion and a minor in communications in my undergraduate work. And then I have 46 hours on a master's degree at Southwestern Theology Seminary. So, my degree as a theological degree is at the college level and then 46 hours toward a masters -- three years of study of New Testament Greek, and then the rest of it, all in Seminary was theological studies, but my degree was actually in religion."

Yes Mike, now you are really sounding like a Republican't. Your lies are coming to the surface. There is no way you could have as many lies or flips as Rudy, Mitt, McCain, etc. If we had a dollar for every lie we could make a big dent in the national debt. The whole party has learned that they do not have to tell the truth, the American people no longer care for the truth.
