My folks are Born Again Christians, but even they no longer drink Huck aide. They have seen through him.
He would lose because he has tried to USE religion to get the nomination.
He has hurt the Christian right more than he has spoken for them.
America is about freedom of religion, if the religion of the candidate is a plus for conservatism and the freedom of all US citizens it is a plus.
The idea is to promote that freedom without pushing any one religion, if the POTUS happens to be Christian, that is great, but it should not have an effect on being POTUS.
He could be Jewish, Baptist or whatever, as long as he promotes and protects the rights of all US citizens to practice their faith while protecting the Constitution.
Huck has used faith to get in the door, he is insincere and has a very liberal background except for abortion.
He is personable, but would literally be creamed in a general election. The Dems will obliterate him by using the baloney he is peddling in the primaries to make it look like he will impose his religion on the masses. Formula for GOP disaster.
Every president, maybe every politician, that I can remember has used religion in way or another to get votes. That you do not admit this and then use it as a disqualification factor is disengenuous.
Now if you want to claim that you don't agree with the way Huckabee has done so, fine. But the fact is 80% of Americans identify with a religion or at least a supreme being and politicians use it to their advantage...even Hillary.
