[Snip]...But one wonders whether his newfound supporters would really say that if they took a close look at his policies. With increasing frequency, Mr. Huckabee invokes his faith when advocating greater government involvement in just about every aspect of American life. In doing so, Mr. Huckabee has actually answered the prayers of the religious left.
[Snip]...Democrats have made some inroads with evangelical voters. A recent Pew poll showed that the percentage of Americans who see the party as friendly to religion has increased to 30% from 26% since 2006. But no one has articulated the message of the religious left more effectively than Mr. Huckabee.
In August, he told a group of Washington reporters that the application of his faith to politics must include concerns for the environment, poverty and hunger. "It can't just be about abortions and same-sex marriage," he said. "We can't ignore that there are kids every day in this country that literally don't have enough food and adequate drinking water in America."

Some of us conservative Christian voters don’t put abortion as the one-and-only important topic when choosing a candidate. It is not even on my list of concerns in my choice. The Dems want Huck because he’d be easy to beat. Yet again the one-issue voters are playing right into the Dems’ hands.

“Sounds like you and the other FReeper should exchange contact information. Rather than collecting food in your area, perhaps you should be asking for volunteer drivers, rental trucks, and gasoline cards.”
We’re 3,000 miles apart. Don’t think that would work.
Thanks.
With the Huckster as president our prisons will be filled with tobacco smokers,fiscal conservatives,law to the letter border patrol officers,people who call him “Huckster,” dittoheads,Mormons,people who think John Entwistle was a better bass player than he and,of course,abortionists.
I guess the incarcerated baby killers make everything else alright.
Paternalism is attractive to adults in primitive societies that don't have the emotional / physical resources to be able to survive as a non-slave outside a collective (group/commune/nanny-state)
That we have degenerated to the point that we have such a large number of primitive mentalities in the one country in the history of the world which was FOUNDED BY, OF, and FOR individuals, is a testimony to the success the 'RAT party has had in incrementally taking the unwary backward into slavery (dependency) once again.
Our job is to turn that around. bttt

First, Huckabee is a total government-as-Christian-operative kind of guy, and that plays into the Libs hands by drawing the social conservatives into the Liberal ideological camp in a very deceptive way.
Second, Huckabee is an ex Baptist minister and the Libs )media Libs primarily, think the NYT) will raise endless questions about what that might mean for the “separation of church and state”, blah blah blah.
I think many Christians see in Huckabee the possibility of finally getting “one of their own” and don’t think much beyond that.
I will admit that the first time I saw the Huckster in the first two debates I kind of liked him and his relaxed style. It was only later when I learned the facts about his record as governor of Arkansas that I listened more closely and realized Huckabee was in many way just another Bush style “compassionate conservative” and not a real conservative.
You are more correct than you know...there are other reasons, too. If you can stomach the Huckabee related opinions spewing forth from the Kossacks at the Daily Kos, you'll see what I mean.
Disturbing to say the least, but in no way surprising.
Now if you’ll excuse me I feel the urge to go take a shower.
Visiting sites such as that always make me want to bathe in disinfectant.
