Jim & Tammy Baker experianced a “surge” in popularity, but eventually were revealed as complete phonies. I expect the same for this rhino.

The Republicans need to get away from discussing the differing nuances of their individual faiths. The Dems will just jump on that and turn it against them.
Issues, please.

Arianna is a liberal ditzy - but she's right about one thing: social conservatives are the GOP's blacks. They're fine for getting out the vote but the party establishment is embarrassed by them. They just can't stand people of faith and their agenda.

I don’t think a Muslim and two liberal United Methodists want to start throwing rocks from inside their glass mansions.

Huckabee must be doing something right - he has the right enemies.

“Oh, excuse me....ex-Muslim,”
Proof?

Puleeeze. Bush considers himself a conservtive Christian and Reagan was very popular with evangelicals. That's not the problem, it's just an excuse for more Christian-bashing by the left.
The problem with Huckabee is he's a lightweight on the issues and did not govern as a conservative in Arkansas, which leaves him nothing but his social conservatism and faith to run on. He would almost surely lose.

“Oh, excuse me....ex-Muslim, even though Islam says: once a Muslim, always a Muslim.
And saying so always makes it so?

That’s what I’m thinking. Makes me want to be sure to get out and vote for the guy, if only he is all that she says he is.

The problem is that the GOP hasn’t followed through on its anti-Big-Government rhetoric. As a result, the Huckabee crowd has the dysfunctional belief that the guvmint can fix things for them.

I would be absolutely giddy if we had a true conservative Baptist preacher and would support him to the end. But we don’t have one. We have one running who wants to cure man’s ills with money taken from others. I personally thought that was one of the Big Ten?

They just can't stand people of faith and their agenda.I think it is that they alienate a lot of voters who don't want religion shoved down their throats, but otherwise support conservative ideals. I know a lot of people who have very conservative principles but who still vote dem because they view Republicans as Christian oppressors.

I’m as hard on Huck as anyone, but the nonsense about his Christmas ad is just that, nonsense. It was very well done.

The issues are the reason I’m apalled with Huckabee.
