I suppose those who ascribe Judeo Christian social values are seen as a pain in the rear end for conservative libertarian types, yet the truth is that without the social conservatives, the republicans are doomed.
Conservatives are all aflutter and worried that Mike Huckabee is a mutant boil that may disrupt their party. They keep hoping that this boil will resolve itself and simmer down, and the people who support the boil will come to their senses and triangulate (another word for compromise) their beliefs so that they will vote for a more elect able candidate.
What shocks me about this election isn’t that country club conservatives and princes of darkness are upset that Huckabee is doing well; it’s that former leaders like Pat Robertson and others have lost their way and endorsed pagans and the unsaved.
Mike Huckabee is not a fiscal conservative. Yet on most other issues he is very socially conservative. Mike is probably closer to a true neo-conservative then the greedy would like to imagine.
Mike Huckabee is not Jimmy Carter either. Jimmy Carter is a man who courted the white supremacists to get elected to his first term as governor only to cut their throats when elected and reveal his true beliefs. Jimmy Carter has little integrity.
If you want a candidate who can win black evangelicals, it’s Mike Huckabee. If you want a candidate who can win Hispanic Roman Catholics and evangelicals, it’s Mike the boil Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee is not my perfect candidate for president of the United States. Yet, he comes closer then the other boys in the field. Now, if Mike begins triangulating, I’ll relegate him to Jimmy Carter status. Until then, I like Mike.
