Why is it acceptable for a WICCAN, Bhuddist. even a Satanist today and especially, or gracious, do not offend a Muslim, to openly and loudly proclaim their faith, but by any god, a Christian better not even look at a cross, a Bible, or any other artifact of their faith? And mention their faith in a public forum? God forbid! Today, that's virtually burning at the stake time. If you look carefully Huckabee's tax measures were on the heels of garbage Clinton(s) left behind. Sound familiar? Huckabee made some strong stements in his campaign. So what? That's what it takes to be elected. Obama is promising change like a modern day Messiah. And Hillary is promising change based on the same old rhetoric. Honsetly, neither can deliver. Obama ain't God, neither is he Jesus. And Hillary is only going to let Bill back into the playground thereby tieing her own hands. Paul, Thompson, Giulliani, and the rest were nothing more than throwing drops of cold water into a frying pan of hot oil. Splatters, splutters, sizzles and pops. A whole lot of noise, no substance, and over in a few minutes. You holler about religion. Romney had the backing of the entire Mormon church, who told him what, when and how to, "do it." When (and if) McCain gets the nod, it'll be McCain and Huckabee or McCain and Romney because McCain does and will need someone to bring in the Religious Right. Who by the way are not "idits out wandering aimlessly." But are people in search of genuine leadership as demonstrated by Reagan. Catholic huh? Figures.... WHY ?

In the campaign, he was a strong communicator among a relatively weak field and had the momentum at one point. Thanks to organizations like FreedomWorks, and especially The Club for Growth his abysmal fiscal record was exposed. Also, I think his "take back this nation for Christ" quote did him in with secular conservatives, just as he was changing his rhetoric to appeal to them. I'd like to say that I'm a secular conservative (at least politically) and welcome evangelicals who share the values of limited government and conservative tax and spending policy.

That's my prediction. We'll see if I'm right.

I just wanted to say that not all Christian Evangelicals agree with Mike Huckabee. Some Christians actually want to use limited government to their Christian Faith's advantage. I'm one of those limited government Christians. So please don't lump all Christians with Mike Huckabee. I agree with you to an extent.
