Welcome to FR.
I suggest you read the transcript again.
STEVE DOOCY: Mike Huckabee has started running an ad in Iowa, where you're at right now, also in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and in the back, it's a windowpane but it also looks a lot like a cross. And, and, we had a guest a little while ago who said it was inappropriate to be using religion for political purposes. Congressman, I'm just curious what you think?RON PAUL: Well, I haven't thought about it completely, but you know, it reminds me of what Sinclair, uh, Lewis once said, he said 'when Fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.' I don't know whether that's a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross like he is the only Christian, or implying that subtly. So, uh, I don't think I would ever use anything like that.
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 said nothing of the kind. If that's what he meant to say, he should have said it.
BTW, IMO the idea that "conservatives", more accurately Republicans, choose candidates based on religious denomination is absurd. I doubt anyone other than your family voted for GWB because he was the Pope's choice.
You need to learn to close your html before it runs rampant all over your post... lol...
That being said, I must disagree about your statement wrt voting. It may very well be just the catholic church, but the propaganda that they spew is simply diabolical. It’s sole purpose is to make sure that everyone votes for the biggest pro-life candidate. In my experience, it’s always been the choice of the “lesser evil”.
Anyways, so what do you gather he meant to say in this situation? “Huckabee is a Fascist.”? Is that what you are saying? Because he didn’t say that either!
