OK, so what political positions does Mike Huckabee have that you want to camp out on? Immigration? Taxes? National Security?

How about three?

What I am saying is that once you scratch under the Christian paint you've got a populist/liberal politician. If you think asking folks to move from heart to head is condescending, I ask you to reconsider.

God gave us the ability to critically think about issues as well as experience the emotions. That's what I am suggesting you do - put it all in gear.

But you should be able to answer the question.

You may not like the way I said what I did, but what was the content of what I said? You didn't answer that, just how it was posed (your opinion).

Here's my thesis: Huckabee is a Baptist pastor, but a Liberal politician.

None at all.

First of all, it is not Christian "paint". Huck can't be assailed from a position of his Christianity being a veneer. Otherwise, I agree with the statement, not that it matters to the Christians.

I assure you, I already have, as have most on this board.

Huck's social positions are pretty unassailable, and that is what the Christians look for. To suggest that they are not conservative because they look for those social issues and are less concerned with the rest, one must then say that libertarians are not conservative either, because they aren't socially conservative.

My choice is, and will always be Duncan Hunter because he is the Conservative in the race... He serves all three legs of the Reagan Conservative Coalition, including the issues Social Conservatives are looking for.

I take exception to the rough treatment of my brethren who have chosen Huckabee. I disagree with their choice, but I can see what they are after.
