I think Mitt would be good for religious freedom in the country because he’s a member of a persecuted minority.
The one thing that evangelicals and mormons have in common is they both have a need to talk to others about their faiths. At least when the mormon boys are on mission.
THis is the primary thing that the infidels hate. They HATE to be talked to about it. I can relate. I was threatened by it when I was an infidel, and I still find it annoying, but now I find it no big deal.
And the problem with Huckabee is that he is part of the persecutor class. Not all evangelicals are so full of themselves, but the ones that are, are dangerous to religious freedom indeed.
This is how bad a Huckabee nomination would be. Utah votes consistently the most conservatively in national elections of ANY state. But if the choice is between Huckabee and Hillary or Obama in 2008, Huckabee will lose in Utah. Hillary will squeak out a victory, but Obama will win convincingly. Why? Because Mormons see a festering malignancy of religious intolerance in Huckabee's campaign that frightens them more than the woefully misguided policy views of Hillary or Obama.
You heard it here first.
