Dude, I never made that claim. It's called an analogy. Look it up.
Or, have you been reading items by “hucksters” like “Club for Growth,” Cato Institue, Romney supporters, and Paulistas and still not feeling gullible?
What part of "his record and rhetoric" did you not understand? I didn't say, "I know about Mike Huckabee because I read everything written by Cato" (and it is really, really funny that you're acting like Cato is out to get conservatives!) I said I rejected him based on him. The "I don't want to lose my soul, roll tape" press conference in Iowa would have been enough by itself. It showed that his character was something completely different from what he was selling.
Don't know about you, MS, but I can see how people who view their "conservatism" in terms firstly of self-centeredness and of their money would be concerned about a truer moral candidate who seeks to preserve America's true principles and priorities.
Cato Institute is not conservative; it is libertarian. They are opposed to moral conservatism, to a significant degree.
