“I myself am backing Ted Cruz first, but I got to tell you I get upset when folks bad mouth my conservative evangelical brothers and sisters because the back Huckabee.”
I’m an evangelical that wholeheartedly supports Cruz and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many of our brethren are taken in by Huckabee. I’m not hear to bad-mouth anyone, in my own circle I just try to gently point out why Huckabee is not a guy we should even be considering at this point in our nation’s history with so much at stake.
I find many just aren’t aware of who he really is and once you point these things out, it’s not hard to dissuade them from falling for his B.S. Others have their minds set that somehow the Huckster is someone they should consider. Either way, I’m not going to stop telling the truth (in love), even if it does turn a few people off.
To tell the truth “in love” doesn't include terminology like “B.S.” and “Huckster.” Those are slanderous opinions NOT “truth.” Continue to “gently” point out your perceived flaws in Huckabee, but more so point out why Cruz is a better choice.
As a primarily social conservative, I think Ted Cruz is the best choice. However, it is not because of negative views of Huckabee. I think both men are sincere morally conservative Christians that will put an emphasis on moral/social issues. I just think Ted is more likely to accomplish this than Mike. So, I go with Ted.
However, prerogatives (i.e. “his B.S., or “Huckster”) against Huckabee - in my opinion are a direct attack on truly morally conservative evangelical Christians....especially Southern Baptist ones.
