Huckabee has a very strong social conservative following. Same group of people who are voting for Santorum in this primary cycle. Don't underestimate how much of an audience there is for someone like Huckabee. It is not enough people to win a GOP nomination for their preferred candidate, but it is certainly enough to attract and retain a fairly significant audience. Will the Huckster be able to compete with Rush? Certainly not. But once they give on that fools errand and focus exclusively on the socon crowd in a different timeslot he may do fairly well.
Don’t be surprised if you hear people call in and say, “I just don’t see how I can vote for someone who isn’t a real Christian.”
“Huckabee has a very strong social conservative following. Same group of people who are voting for Santorum in this primary cycle.”
Sadly, this same group of people wants to make America a “Christian Nation” in a way that the Founders NEVER intended! They are all in favor of social programs and governmental interference in THEIR pet peeve project and don’t understand that they are as much of a problem on the right as liberal Democrats are on the left. Examples of this are George Bush’s No Child Left Behind and his creation of the The Office of Faith Based Initiatives, both of which expanded Federal reach into what should be private, community based programs.
Nowhere in the Bible or in the Constitution is the government supposed to be involved in matters of private morality or private charity and we are bankrupting the country by insisting on a nanny state! I am a strong conservative Christian and I cannot stand Mike “Do as I say, Not as I do” Huckabee. This stunt doesn’t surprise me in the least! The Huckster is all about promoting himself and honesty or ethics take a back seat...but those on the Right will excuse him because he’s such a “good man”.
God save us and our country from all these good men who want to control every aspect of our lives because they think they know so much better than we what we need!
There's a member of his audience born every minute.
