GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Mike Huckabee broadened his populist-inspired appeal for support in Michigan on Saturday, saying he viewed his presidential campaign as a "cause" that represents a threat to the Republican establishment in Washington.
With polls showing support in Michigan's Republican primary Tuesday to be extremely fluid among Mitt Romney, John McCain and Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor also lashed out at candidates who campaign on a theme of opposing abortion but do little about it when they get into office.
"We're people who will no longer just allow people to get elected, promising that they're listening to us about the sanctity of human life," Huckabee said. "We want to elect people who will do something about protecting human life."
Speaking to about 400 people in a ballroom at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, Huckabee said he loved being in the GOP, "but I love my country even more."
"I'm asking you today to be a part of something that is a lot more than just a campaign. I want to think it's a cause," Huckabee said.
"Apparently my candidacy comes as somewhat of a threat to a lot of the Republicans in the Republican establishment -- some of the folks who have run the party in the Washington circles," he said. "They've maybe not understood that the heart and soul of the Republican Party is only as strong as the heart and soul of the rest of America."

This schmuck is way beyond annoying.
Yeah - he’s a threat to the party because he hides his liberalism behind his faith.
If he ran saying “I let prisoners go and they kill again” and “I want open borders, and you are a racist if you don’t” and wasn’t a Baptist Minister, no one would give him the time of day - at least in the Republican party.
Think “Jesse Jackson” in his pre-pro-abortion days and you have Huckabee.
There is no moral imperative to expand government: Huck and his idiot followers don’t see that.
“Huckabee says he’s a threat to the GOP establishment”
He should have just said that he’s a threat to the GOP.

Popcorn for breakfast? Not me. I have a T-boner and red peppers getting nice and brown. There will be 2 eggs sunny side up and toast with butter and honey. Hmmm. I have some coleslaw too. Burp! No need for lunch after pigging out this way!
Bingo!
Huckabee is a threat to all Republicans everywhere, the same as Hillary Clinton and Obama are.
The big problem I see right now is Huckabee has such a huge ego and his win in Iowa has given him a taste of power I could see this TV maniac creating a third party ticket.
Unfortunately, his IQ doesn’t match Perot, but he would nothing more than be a spoiler in this election.
It’s just second nature to the guy, IMHO.
It's a BS comparison. President Bush does badmouth CEO pay, company profits, free trade, the Club for Growth, a tough foreign policy, trans fat foods, tobacco, etc. Big, big difference.
I was going to post my very witty reply but then I noticed that 28 other very witty people posted my reply for me! :^)
I’ll be right over! ;0)
"The Drive-By Media will always tell you who is and who isn't a conservative, by who they try to prop up and who they try to destroy." RUSH LIMBAUGH
And, a threat to school choice (teachers unions love the Huckster)
And, a threat to lowering taxes (raised taxes $500 million)
And, a threat to legal immigration (supports college tuition for illegals)
You’re right, I should have said “worse” than George Bush.
Semms to me he fits in fine with today’s GOP.
A RINO in an elephant suit.
A shadow is a threat to the GOP. The GOP leadership is so feckless ... they are Democrats. The Huckster would not have a chance if there was actually a leader to choose from. No candidate is perfect but the GOP itself is vulnerable on 3 key issues:
1. Immigration
2. Big government
3. Trying to get along with Democrats.
All 3 are failures of the Bush Administration.
Asshat is a threat to Republican PRINCIPLES.
Thompson basically invited the Huckster to leave the GOP. He should. Some Southern Baptists can be as stupid like anyone else. They are not that way. I went to services and I’m a Catholic. I also went to Synogogue. And Orthodox Mass. That one is a physical endurance test for hours and you have to dress up too.
