Supposedly people voted for Huckabee because he is pro-life. Well so is Fred Thompson, but Thompson only came in third and not a 10% leading first.

Supposedly people voted for Huckabee because he is against gay marriage. Well so is Fred Thompson, but Thompson only came in third and not a 10% leading first.

Supposedly people voted for Huckabee because he is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Well so is Fred Thompson, but Thompson only came in third and not a 10% leading first.

Supposedly people voted for Huckabee because he is for changing the tax code. Well so is Fred Thompson, but Thompson only came in third and not a 10% leading first. I don’t think this was a big voter decision issue but whatever it’s there.

After those issues Huckabee really has nothing, that’s all he’s got. Fred Thompson is the real conservative in the race (yes Duncan Hunter too, but I’m holding out for a Thompson/Hunter ticket).

Even if someone is voting single issue on pro-life they still have Fred to go to, guess Fred just isn’t Christian enough. Every issue that Huck is conservative on Fred Thompson (or someone else) is also conservative on. Everywhere else Huck loses and Fred Thompson wins.

I submit that a large portion of people voted for Huckabee because he is a Baptist Minister and not because of his actual stances. Past pro-life and Baptist Minister a lot of people didn’t even ask.

Welcome to the Carter Part Deux: The GOP Edition.

This is the danger of voting for or against someone's religion. You become blinded to issues that religion does not cover.
