But Rush is stone-dead wrong on this one. If the Christians had wanted Fred, they'd have picked him in the first place. Instead, they hauled Huck up outta the basement. There is a reason for that.
***But when the Pro life evangelicals grow weary of Huckabee, they’ll feel very comfortable in the camp of pro-life, evangelical conservative Duncan Hunter.
That is my hope as well. If Hunter starts to move up, I would hope a bunch of them would jump on board.
Good points, I agree.
I don’t how “identity politics” plays into this. If I was an Armenian supporting an Armenian candidate, or a white guy supporting the white guy, or a black guy supporting a black guy or a woman supporting the woman, none of those would be things you choose, they are all things you are raised with (well, aside from the sex-change creepy thing). So when folks say that christians shouldn’t be engaging in “identity politics”, exactly what does that mean? Christians CHOSE to be christians. Blacks didn’t choose to be black, and Armenians didn’t choose (for the most part) to be Armenians, it was dealt to them.
“The Christians” didn’t do any such thing.
A majority of evangelicals DIDN’T fall for the Huckster in Iowa.
