Huckabee sidestepped a question about whether or not The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or “Mormons” is a Christian faith saying, "I'm just not going to go off into evaluating other people's doctrines and faiths. I think that is absolutely not a role for a president,"
Yet a Southern Baptist President (Jimmy Carter) has already don just that, not only did he confirm that “Mormons” are Christians", but he chastised the Southern Baptist Convention for trying to characterizes them as non-Christians. “Too many leaders now, I think, in the Southern Baptist Convention and in other conventions, are trying to act as the Pharisees did who were condemned by Christ, in trying to define who can and who cannot be considered an acceptable person in the eyes of God," he said. "In other words, they're making judgments on behalf of God. I think that's wrong."
It’s sad when a Republican Candidate can’t convey the same religious tolerance as Democrat President did 10 years before.
