Huckabee is going to open the border wider and make the welfare state bigger.
La Gran Sociedad.
Some Evangelical voters are so fixated on social issues that they ignore everything else. Hence Huckabee’s support.
Why are they not happy with a guy like Fred, who voted pro-life and supports a Roe V. Wade overturn? Yeah, he says the HLA isn’t a priority, and the reason being it won’t pass, he’s right. But he’s certainly in no way a THREAT to Christian values...
Now don’t get me wrong, lack of a conservative social issues stance is one major reason I DON’T support Rudy...but I think some take it TOO far.
Cue Huckabee - a straight up crusader on the life issue, and for that, I give him Kudos...but the guy is a miserable failure on most other issues. Don’t Evangelicals still have to pay taxes and get sick of government meddling? Do they not care about the INVASION of illegal immigrants with no desire to become American in culture or values?
To my Evangelical FRiends...this is NOT meant as a broad brush. I know that many, perhaps even most, Evangelical conservative voters do not do this, but enough of them do that I have to note that it exists and is disturbing. I use this as a call to educate your friends and neighbors and church friends that may think the way I described above as to why socialism and nanny-statism ultimately threatens our nation and way of life.
As I’ve said, whenever asking a conservative politician the power to enact a social policy, we must ask if we’d give Hillary or Obama that same power.
