FACING UP TO THE UNBEARABLE TRUTH
I consider myself one of those religious nuts and am constantly taken aback by those that treat some of the kindest and most respectful people you will ever meet as though they are ignorant sheep. I am not a Huckabee supporter (I prefer Romney or McCain). Huckabee has a bad habit of making "oopsies" that allow him to go negative but pretend he is not. As Rush would say, this is too cute by half. But if you take the time to listen to what he actually says (instead of what is said about him), his message is quite reasonable.
I listened to Hannity debate Huckabee the other day (right after Iowa). Hannity tossed out ALL the usual criticisms against Huckabee and the Huck fielded them all with reasonable and credible rebuttals. Frankly I think the out of hand rejection of Huckabee because of his professed beliefs is religious bigotry of the highest order. Equally as repulsive as the bigotry evangelicals get accused of for failing to support Romney.
After bothering to actually listen to Huckabee (since Iowa) I can see full well why he gets the support he gets. It comes from people that actually listen to him and not just to his critics.
And before I get tossed into the pile of dismissed perspectives for being just another ignorant religious zealot let me just say I am a voracious blog reader, talk radio listener, news watcher and Ann Coulter/Michelle Malkin groupie. And yes, Huckabee foreign policy would probably be Carteresqe but I think war fatigue has placed many Republicans in a situation where they would be relieved to see us pull back on the world stage. Even though that would probably be bad in the long term.
Oddly Rick I think Huckabee aligns with your feelings on all but social issues pretty well. Assuming you listen to what Huckabee himself says.
P.S. I take no responsibility for spelling or grammer.
