“Huckabee never said he is the only Christian. Neither does he imply it.”
Oh BS. He said during the debate he was the only one with a theology degree. Even worse, it was a lie. His degree was in Religion. Theology degree is different.
I think I read that his degree was in communications and that he had a year or so of theology at a seminary, but not a degree. So I don't think he even has a degree in religion. That's if my source was correct, and clearly even Huckabee as the source is not a sure thing on this one, so...That mistake is something Huckabee should explain.
Regardless, it doesn't make him worse than many of the other candidates. If everyone wants to get behind Duncan Hunter, great. But voters are liking Huckabee and his positions are more acceptable to me than Romney, Guiliani, Ron Paul, McCain, or Thompson. Huckabee is not as fiscally conservative as I would like. My experience is that even those who talk about being fiscally conservative generally end up less than I would like. Huckabee isn't a lot worse than anyone else. I don't like his position on immigration. But what about Bush's? We all voted for him. Huckabee isn't perfect, but I will support him if he is the guy other people want.
Blame those who wanted to force social conservatives to vote for Rudy T. McRomney. They are the reason Huckabee is on the rise. It doesn't mean a solid fiscal AND social conservative wouldn't be better. But when forced to choose, some of us will choose social conservatism over fiscal conservatism.
The man that could bring it all together is Duncan Hunter.
