DOOCY: So, uh, Congressm— you know, uh, Governor Huckabee is not selling fascism. He’s — simply sending out a Christmas message, anyway, just curious how you felt about that. Congressman, if you would sit right there in Des Moines just for a moment, we’re going to take a quick time out...

He's not simply sending out a Christmas message. These ads are gone over with a fine tooth comb. They move the camera so that you can see the pane behind him and if you're just glancing at it, you'd probably think it was filmed in a church. I don't care if Mike is God's endorsed candidate for President or not, but it's not random that Reverend Mike has cross imagery in his ads. That's why he's surging in the polls-- social conservative evangelicals are going over to his side. It's a very clever ad, but people shouldn't act like what is clearly there isn't there at all.

And Mike has made the suggestion that God is on his side. I get a little antsy when a politician tells me I should agree with him because God will punish me for eternity if I don't do what the politician says.

No, he's not, nor is he selling fascism.

I'm waiting for Tax Hike Mike to scourge the moneychangers from a Temple (maybe near the Great Salt Lake) and proceed to have James Dobson annoint his head with oil.

Has Huck ever admitted he was lying when he said "I am the only man on this stage with a degree in theology"? Seems to me that if he's God's prophet, he would stop lying about his degree which is in religion, not in theology.

I think RP was on target here with his Sinclair Lewis reference. People are acting like we're electing a pope, not selecting a GOP nominee.

Agreed.
