Scribes, Pharisees and Huckabees! Hypocrites!!!
What a bigot is Huckabee! He pretends to now know much about the Mormon faith (probably sponsored his own anti-Mormon cult classes), and then naively questions a doctrine out of context that he knows would be incendiery!
He is alienating the very people whose support he needs if he somehow gets the nomination! That is 6 Million less votes he should have in a general election!
