The Huckabee Dilemma

Watching the Right trip over their own tied together shoelaces over Mike Huckabee's ascendancy is amusing. For years conservatives, with the help of the media, have tried to tell us that Republicans faith is what helps them win. That they are in simpatico with the fabled heartland. Of course, the Right has been using religion as patter while their accomplices reach into your handbag and take your wallet. The true goal has always been to convert public money into private money (much like water into wine) and to deconstruct government in whatever way possible. Now they have to wash in the bathtub stained by their years of filth. Huckabee is their own Frankenstein set loose. He is all of the religion, all of the patter, but he forgot the next part of the act. He is the magician who believes he is actually magic. All that being said, I ain't fer 'em, I agin 'em but, he reminds a lot of the good-hearted, completely wrong and misguided Southern Baptists that I grew up around. He believes it. Now the voices of the Right have to figure out how to tell you that Huckabee is wrong but that you still have to believe their religious smokescreen. A most dangerous game.
