Some even suggested those beliefs should disqualify him from high office.

Mike Huckabee is a "Christian socialist." A sad cross between Jimmy Carter and Mike Dukakis. He has no place being in the GOP race, and using any reason whatsoever to knock him out of the race was fair game.

Mike Huckabee is a “Christian socialist.”

You and I will have to disagree on that one. The Fair Tax is not a socialist position and his positions on spending were better than the supposed “capitalists” we have been told to support currently and in the past (Bush, Romney, etc ....).

My belief on this is that his past as a pastor, combined with his “down home” way of speaking, made the secular class of Republicans and talking heads so uncomfortable that they viewed him negatively from the beginning. They cited his speaking about issues for “common people” as too “populist” and “socialistioc.” But since when is our party against talking about those who are not financially well off?

If you examined his rhetoric closely, he spoke to issues that affected those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, but offered conservative solutions, like the fair tax, to solve them.

Mike Huckabee is a "Christian socialist." He may not be the worst of that sort, but we must be wary of any who push that agenda. We could get another Carter -- or worse -- some religious zealot who would lead us into another dark age.
