None of Huckabee's supporters-to-be on the ground thought this until they were told that's what they were to think.

I am talking of FReeper concerns before the rise of Huckabee, around the time that Fred threw his hat in the ring (and before).

All Huckabee has done is give McCain a shot at the nomination. And 3 or 4 subsequent RINO-living-breathing-Constitutional Justices. So long overturning Roe v. Wade. Good show. Really well done.

If Fred had been more tactful in his approach, and less concerned about his "I'm my own man" rhetoric, If Fred had been farsighted enough to attend to the SoCons as much as he did to the libertarian and security factions, there would not have been a Huckabee.

show us how a DOMA or RLA would be enacted by President Huckabee.

I will say (as I have before) that I personally don't believe the amendments would pass, though I wouldn't put it past the Christian Right. They are a terrible force if they get a burr under their saddle.

Perhaps you'd be the one Huckabee supporter

I am not, nor have I ever been a Huckabee supporter. As a matter of disclosure, I am a proud 1%er, a rock-ribbed Reagan Conservative. I supported Hunter until he bowed out, and I now support Dr. Alan Keyes.

I now support Dr. Alan Keyes.

lol

Silly me for attempting to use reason, logic and critical thinking in our discussions.

Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

Which is why I called them supporters-to-be. They didn't know when Fred put his hat in the ring that they were not supposed to like him until they were told. That's when his support dropped from the level he had when he announced. Huck had a surge after that when he was anointed for the evangelicals.

Yeah. If only he'd gotten an endorsment from some SoCon groups. Like RTL or something. If only... I'll admit, I didn't think us evangelicals were this politically naive. But we were. People at my non-denominational charismatic church were amazed that I dared to question Huckabee's candidacy. "Isn't he the guy who believes in ALL the GOOD THINGS?" Direct quote. It is tough to admit that our strength in politics on the Religious Right comes from our numbers and dedication, not our smarts. But there it is.

Very well, then. My apologies for calling you a Huckabee supporter.
