I'm not from Arkansas. But, I do think Huckabee did a much better job than his critics are giving him credit for. His record on social issues is as good as any I have seen. I think he did pretty well on taxes considering what he had to work with.
The attacks on Huckabee strike me as largely because he is an actual Christian that will take action on social issues that the Republican hierarchy generally wishes would go away.
Sorry, I thought you were from down there. From the posts here on FR and some of the comments from the media and conservative pundits, I also get the impression that allot of people are made uncomfortable by Huckabee’s faith.
Huckabee isn’t perfect but I agree that he does have a decent record on taxes and streamlining government as well as being far and away the best candidate on social issues.
Nobody is attacking Huckabee because he is a Christian. They are attacking him for wearing his religion on his sleave and cynically using his religion in the service of a statist agenda, a different thing entirely. He is like both Carter and Clinton in this respect.
