During the last debate Huckabee claimed that most of the 56 people who signed the constitution were clergy. I thought 'that can't be true, can it?' when I heard him say it. It turns out he was lying, or at least ignorant. Only one of the 56 men who signed it was a clergyman, and only three were ex-clergymen. Four out of 56 is "most"?
I've heard the people who believe America was founded as a Christian country say some pretty odd things, but that most of the people who signed the constitution were clergy is a first. Where do they get ideas like that? Huckabee, as an aside, is also a creationist, along with Chuck Norris, who endorsed him recently.
