I don’t think he does, he just wants the votes from those he thinks want one. I don’t think most of them really want it that much either. He’s not stupid enough to want to try to do it as POTUS, he’s just stupid enough to say it when he’s campaigning.

Huckleberry is too conservative on religion and too liberal on criminals and the economy and immigration.

Huckabye? Huckabee wants to have adulterers, homosexuals and rape victims stoned to death. He also wants to make alcohol and music videos illegal, and make women 2nd class citizens and to take all girls out of school?

Oops, my bad, that’s another ‘religion’.

Hey, anybody but the PIAPS!

The Libertarians are trying to do this to New Hampshire, they call it the “Free State Project.” I think “reconstructionist” folk chose South Carolina, a brief search suggests the project name is “Christian Exodus.” A whopping 15 families have supposedly already moved.

Notice both are early primary states? They have the goal, but not the means.

I am far more interested in this event and who perhaps in the various Hispanic political parts of Florida is backing Huckabee than the above story. I suspect we get a idea of perhaps where Huckabee is planning to go on issues such as immigration and Cuba etc by examing this guest list . Well perhaps I should be glad we are not examing that potoential guest list too closely. It might just give us more problems on the far right.

Anyway I think the public will get a clearer picture of Huckabee if he can get out of the early states and he can start to moderate his message a tad. Right now he is having to target his views towards a hundred different small but important groups. I have to admit. I really did not think that at this stage of the game his conservative credentials would be so under attack. Which means that the process of having to stay right(in perception and soundbites) for a while shall continue longer than I thought.

1) Opposition to school vouchers
2) 14 Arkansas state ethics committee investigations, five of which resulted in admonishments (including failing to report a $23,500 gift from Action America).
3) Other complaints of misuse of state funds (similar to those discussed about Giuliani).

MM: Like JH, I don’t think the issues and personalities in my post undermine, at all, the ECT project (that is, the specific Neuhaus-Colson effort), which has always candidly acknowledged the points of disagreement, while doing the good work of identifying the points of agreement.

What is is sometimes called a marriage of convenience is also called finding common ground. It seems to have to have worked. I guess Since I live in a very Protestant area my whole life is a marriage of Convenience with Evangleicals. We all work together, have each others kids sleep over with our kids on overnights , go and support the local football team, go and work together on issues such as schools, and the economy.

THe thing is with the American Evangelical movement is you can’t put it in a box. As for the Catholic Social doctrine. As I keep trying to point out not all Evangelicals are the deep Calvanist that you think they are. Many Evangelicals often share the same concerns as many Catholics do in this area. This is one reason why so many were FDR Democrats for so long and Democrat leaning. Isee this all the time where I live.

I wonder. I don’t think these differences have been glossed over. They are often a topic of discussion. However I think it has been a net plus that Catholics and Evangelicals have worked together. I think many Evangelicals came to better understanding of Catholics because of it. A lot of myths have sort of gone out the door or at least are not as prevalant. So I think it has been a good thing. I find it a much satifactory situation than having people in Fortress Catholisicism and Fortress Evangelical and never interacting on the political or social stage.
