Avast! RINO!

There was an article published by the NY Times yesterday evening that makes my skin crawl a little. I have to admit from the outset that I openly despise what Huckabee is doing. He is using his religious clout to leverage support for his bid to become president - something mocks our political system and Christianity at the same time, and he's more liberal than many of the democrats running (which is overshadowed by the fact that many of the democrats are running on a ticket of socialism...another story entirely and one best saved for the general election). My dislike of the Huckster aside, this article is chock full of his peculiar brand of in-your-face religious politicking.
The article is basically about Huck thanking the bloggers that support him, and Chuck Norris thanking the bloggers that have supported him. There are two things about this article that bother me:
1) "He noted that the mainstream media might be “filing a bad story” right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be “clogging up the lines” and preventing them from filing.

If that’s the case, “thank you,” he said. “You’re doing the Lord’s work.”"

I guess I could be overreacting here, but this is yet another example of a creepy sort of "God wants me to be President - resistance is futile" attitude from Huck.

2) Afterwards, Anthony Bonna, 20, a blogger from Florida who is a student at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., said he supported Mr. Huckabee because he is “the authentic conservative” in the race. His Web site, www.huckamania.com, is devoted to him.
This guy is clearly an absolute idiot. On immigration, economics, foreign policy, justice...everything, Huck is even more liberal than Bill Clinton was. How this blogger is claiming Huck is an "authentic conservative" is beyond me. Huckabee is a liberal, and his game of using Jesus to get elected while actively misrepresenting Christ's message is disgusting. I hope the polls are as meaningless as my gut tells me.

Reading the polls is kinda like finding Christmas presents before They are wrapped .They could be anybody's gifts until someone puts your name on them.
So while Huck and Obama and Hillary all think they are getting a wonderful gift,they are probobly gonna wind up with someone elses dirty underwear!lol!
