The conservative Christians I know want the government to keep its hand out of their pockets, so that they are fully free to show Christian charity according to the dictates of their conscience.
They don't think it's the business of government to extort money from them to spend according to Congress's and the president's idea of Christian charity.
This might sell in Arkansas. But it'll have a limited run in most Republican enclaves.
The only people I know who are excited about Christian socialism are--socialists.
"Unlike in junior high, it's often a good sign in presidential politics when people say nasty things about you. It means you are threatening. It means others fear you. It means you might just win something."

All we can do is to allow the free Christian people of America to openly talk among themselves during this primary.
We must let them decide religious questions with out us trying to bash them, or squelch their freedom to discuss the religious questions of all the candidates.
The Christian people have much to think about in regards to this election season.
Personally, I think that with information and open discussion, that they will see through Huckabees efforts to capitalize on their naivety.
Personally I don't believe any Christian conservatives who truly want to give freely to charity....... would have their panties in twist about their tax dollars going to help the poor etc.
Especially considering our taxes pay for MANY less virtuous causes.
I really think this is a phony argument.
