If Huckabee Wins The Primary, Democrats Win The Election
This is about how I feel:
If Huckabee wins Iowa and the Republican primary then there is a 100% chance that the Democratic candidate will win the general election.
Fiscal conservatives, who used to vote Republican, cannot stand the Christian values litmus test and will vote against it. They are a big swing group that the GOP ignores. And libertarians hate Huckabee’s tax raising and Nanny State policies.
What’s particularly frustrating is that the conservative movement is about limited government more than it’s about religion, but it seems like many in the GOP would be happy to nominate a big-government, nanny-statist tax hiker like Huckabee simply because he says the right thing about morals and religion.
And to a lesser degree, the same goes for Romney who seems to be trying to use his much-hyped speech about religion from this week to hide his rather liberal record in Massachusetts that includes the worst government health care failure since Hillarycare.
We’ve heard a lot about Reagan during this primary season, but it’s worth remembering that while Reagan was a religious guy he was also a “government is the problem not the answer” guy. Neither Huckabee nor Romney can live up to that.
