I know several Huckabee supporters. I am not really concerned with them, because I think that Huckabee will not get the nomination.

In all honesty, I want to see Fred Thompson get the nomination. If it happens that Huckabee has to drop out, Fred will get his votes.

It is my honest opinion that Fred will win the nomination. We cannot use Iowa and New Hampshire as the entire test. This test has several pages, and Fred has not yet beeen tested down south, where he should be expected to do better.

The truth is that even Romney should be blowing everyone away in New Hampshire. Even Mitt were to win New Hamphire, it will not be a blowout.

"Huckabee’s win in the Iowa caucuses, and his sudden viability as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, owes to one thing and one thing only. Large numbers of evangelical voters are looking for someone to represent their values, and Huckabee is the only candidate who seems to do so."

If I'm not mistaken, more evangelicals voted for someone else than voted for Huckabee. I don't believe his premise is correct.

The answer is more "cultural" than "evangelical." And "evangelical" has been so misused and overused as to render it almost meaningless. Example:

"There are some voters over here who think Jesus is okay! Hoo-boy! ...those evangelicals are really out voting today"

Sadly my wife informed me last night she was now a Hickabee supporter based on one issue. She was leaning FDT until he said he would modify social security. She is a mental health professional and thinks we should do more for those types. I told her if we are broke or embroiled at home in terror it is a moot point.

She has become a one issue voter. I am deeply saddened.

Thank you very much for Huckabee's supporters on this thread for being honest. You admit that you know that Huckabee is a "pinko" and you are going to vote for him anyway, just because he is a pastor.

I for one and, I guess, a majority of Freepers still have some doubt about Huckabee's honesty. He is a politician first and foremost.

This is my understanding of Huckabee's supporters. There seem to be two types:

  1. Huckabee supporters who care about conservative principles and don't yet know that he is not a conservative. Rush and other conservatives are exposing him on that.
  2. Huckabee supporters who know full well that Huckabee is a "pinko." Rush cannot do anything with this group. The more he attacks Huckabee on issues, the more they will dig in their heels. In their minds Rush is a big sinner. (I noticed this from some of the posters here. They dragged out Rush's imperfect personal past.)

What can we do with the second group?

We need somebody who knows the scriptures well and can counteract Huckabee's actions on that basis since he uses the scriptures to justify his actions.

There is a lot of talk about the anti-hillary voters who would never vote for hillary. There are also the anti-christian voters, who would never vote for a baptist preacher.

Much of the hatred of Bush is because he's an unabashed Christian. The possibility of a genuine preacher becoming president will bring millions more of these people to vote against him.

I have nothing against Christians or creationists. But there are millions of people out there who do, and it would be suicide for the Republican party to nominate someone that has this kind of background.

Just wait till someone comes up with a video of a Huck sermon. Guaranteed there will be a sentence or two that, taken out of context, will sink his candidacy in November like the Titanic.

Large numbers of evangelical voters are looking for someone to represent their values, and Huckabee is the only candidate who seems to do so.
***Duncan Hunter represents their values. He’s Pro-life, evangelical, and a stalwart conservative.

Mike Huckabee is not a follower of the Christ !

Mike wants to steal from the unwilling to give it someone else.

He thinks stealing is christian charity.

has anyone noticed the little accidental meeting between Rooty and Huck today?

Look folks, I see right through it. Ain’t no accident.

Do you know what is coming?

I hope I am wrong, if I am not, the Huck supporters are gonna be in for a rude awakening.
