Huckabee vs. Paul: Integrity

LINK: Huckabee's Integrity Report

It is inevitable that, during an election, the candidates’ personal lives will eventually come under scrutiny. While our aim should not be to personally attack anyone, it is important to take an individual’s personal, demonstrated values into account when considering how fit they are for office. Having said that, I consider it worth mentioning that MIKE HUCKABEE has been involved in several events which cause one to question his integrity and honesty. According to various news sources (including the American Spectator and MSNBC), the Arkansas Ethics Commission officially reprimanded Mr. Huckabee for ethics violations five times in 14 years, including once for taking money from an organization whose donors he refused to disclose. He also used public money for family restaurant meals, boat expenses, and other personal uses. He attempted to claim as his own $70,000 worth of furnishings that were actually donated to the governor’s mansion, not to him personally. State ethics rules later forced him to renounce this claimed, “gift.” He has also repeatedly maintained the claim that a particular tax which he passed during his term as governor was actually voted for by the citizens of the state. In fact, this is a complete falsehood - this tax for which the people “voted” never actually appeared on the ballot, it was only signed into effect by then-governor Huckabee.

By contrast . . .

If there has ever been a truly squeaky-clean politician, Dr. RON PAUL fits the bill. Having never encountered a politician whom I deemed truly trustworthy, I was personally very skeptical when I initially heard of Dr. Paul. So I set out to find out the truth about him - or rather, to TRY to find something bad about him. Every candidate has at least a little hidden dirt, right? Well, apparently not this one. His fellow congressmen are admittedly humbled by his consistent, quiet integrity. He has never accepted a government-paid junket (would you or I be willing to forgo this seemingly harmless perk of Congressional life?), refuses participation in the lucrative Congressional pension program, and even refused to allow his children to accept federal funds for their college educations, all because his personal principals do not allow him to use taxpayers’ money for such purposes. And throughout his congressional career, his principals have NEVER changed - not once. He has stated, “I have never been one who is comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena. In fact, the pandering that typically occurs in the election season I find to be distasteful. But for those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do. I know, as you do, that our freedoms come not from man, but from God.” And his record has proven this belief. In addition, Dr. Paul’s humility is refreshing and inspiring. I recently witnessed his being asked why he is the best candidate for President; his quiet response was, “Oh, I don’t think I’m the best judge of that.”

Adherence to principals in one’s personal life, regardless of what virtues they may publicly espouse, is the true test of that person’s integrity. In my research of the major candidates, only Ron Paul passes the test.

There are many more reasons why Dr. Paul's message of Christian Liberty has rung true with so many, and why I feel he is the only valid choice for our presidential nominee. Please research his positions for yourself - there are several websites above to help you get started.

I hope you will join me in praying for God’s will in the upcoming presidential race.
