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.
I have to disagree. That is not true. The most loved and successful candidate was Reagan. He won by landslides. He was not really very religious. What he did was respect the Judeo-Christian values of our founders and the Constitution.
That is what voters want. Freedom to practice their chosen religion, or freedom to not. That is America.
Huckabee is an abomination, hurting the cause of religion to pander to a very few. Do we need them? Maybe. Do we want to lose to socialists like Hillary and most of the Democrats to support a losing cause like Huckabee? NO, not me. That sir, is what will happen. That is why the MSM gives this guy a pass.
