Social conservatives are like the GOP's blacks. They're patted on the head, thrown a few crumbs and told to stay in their place if they know what's best for them. Lo and behold - they aren't obeying the rules and the GOP establishment is in a panic. They weren't bothered by Guiliani even though he's as liberal as Huckabee since he doesn't sound like a religious fanatic. They're okay with liberal Republicans who keep God and faith safely tucked away in the closet. That's why Huckabee bothers them so much. He keeps talking all that God stuff up.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
