I’m not doing your research. You are way overstating Huckabee’s political positions and tossing out exaggerations with the Christian label and I find it most offensive. I will proudly vote for Huckabee if Hunter doesn’t gain ground. Huckabee is singing the tune of a lot of voters. Thompson is a loser in the first primaries. He is way down in the polls. And he is just stooping to slander. Other than the politically obsessed, voters don’t like that much negativity. Enjoy the club you have joined. I won’t slander your Christianity just because I disagree with which Republican candidate you support.
A number of crits vs. Huck are legit...the problem with most FReepers who dislike Huck is they rarely cite them!!! They just come up with typical lib tactics of name-calling & plastering him with name-calling.
“The religious left are the religious people who are pro-abortion, pro-homosesxual pro-anything that offends our holy God.”
.
I’m sorry...I misread that.
Of course the religious right is against all of that.
I didn’t ask you to do any research for me, but for yourself for your own enlightenment.
The religious left is part of the Republican party.
You seem to be thinking they are ‘Rats.
That’s why I pointed you to the Christian Democrats as they are what the religious left in the Republican party are.
They are socially conservative, but liberal on economic and national security issues, as is Huckabee.
The social conservative issues are very important to me, but so are the conservative economic and national security issues.
Where do you think Huckabee gets his propensity to be a nanny stater as in banning fat and smoking?
Why do you think he wants to close gitmo, and said Bush has an arrogant bunker mentality?
Why do you think he feels we need to repair our reputation in the world?
Why did he raise taxes a net $462 million?

Good grief...he even imposed a tax on nursing home beds!
And why when called on all of these things does he back peddle?
It’s because he know those are liberal policies, and they won’t win him many votes in the Republican party.
He’s like the Christian Democrats, and is part of the religious left.
He and Ed Rollins would have us believe that Reagan conservatism is dead.
That’s not true, but those two are doing their dead level best to kill it.
And, if they succeed, we will fall the way of Old Europe.
Bank on it.
Please do a little research.
Don’t simply have faith in anyone, except the Lord.
Now, I’m through with this discussion.
I hope you will thoroughly check him out.
And, stop blaming Fred and his supporters for everything that you percieve as a slight.
This is politics, and the truth will be told even if it hurts some.
I am reminded of this...there is none so blind as those who will not see.
Have a good day!
