If
somehow Mitt Romney can overcome Rudy's mistress/police scandal and
Huckabee's religious fueled surge in the polls, he may have one thing
that can help him in the general election - a lack of serious religious
fundamentalism in his past.
Yeah, I know, he is not my candidate
either and I abhor his policies. I know he wants to crawl up into my
wife's uterus and legislate what she does with her ova and I understand
he is a nutcase when it comes to foreign policy and economics. All of
that aside, he doesn't hold a candle to Huckabee. Huckabee IS A ORDAINED SOUTHERN BAPTIST MINISTER!!! You can't get more cranky than that unless you are wearing a Klan hood.
Most
of my issues surrounding Christianity stems from the Southern Baptists -
they deny science, they generally believe the Bible is the literal word
of God and are some of the most bigoted people I know. I actually know
Southern Baptists who voted for Bush and STILL support him because he is
God's instrument for bringing about the Rapture.
Understand I am
also not a Mormon, but you must admit, they do not have THAT track
record. They have had their own problems (Blacks being not fully human,
etc.) but they have made great strides in correcting those problems.
Kinda like when Bill Gates realized the Internet WAS going to be
important after all and moved the whole of Microsoft in that direction
overnight. The likes of Jim Jeffords I do not associate with the Latter
Day Saints whatsoever.
To all of us secularists, Romney is much
more digestible than Huckabee. He is not weighed down by that cross
Huckabee drags around everywhere he goes.
As a meth addict once told me, "come down off that cross, someone else needs the wood."
