The Church of Huck?

From Small Government Times on presidential candidate and darling of evangelicals, Mike Huckabee:

To that enormous secular conservative voting block out there, I will say, be not afraid. It’s not that Huck would impose religion through government. No, his actions would truly offend you.

He would impose statism in the name of religion through government.

Have I mentioned that I'm happy you're updating this more lately? :)

On a semi-related note to your post--I know in the past I've questioned your acceptance of voting third party in an election instead of the "lesser of two evils", but the way things are going I may have to stick my foot in my mouth this year and say you were right.

And thank you for posting that article--it was not only interesting, but informative.

Jonathan, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Watch for more posts fleshing out why Huckabee will not get my vote.

Regarding third parties, there is a paucity of candidates there as well. The Constitution Party candidates (or at least, the one who actually had a campaign site)seem to be of the 9-11 conspiracy ilk.

The Constitution Party had a great candidate in 2004, Michael Peroutka. But even Peroutka and his running mate Chuck Baldwin, are endorsing Republican Ron Paul.

If Ron Paul does not win the Republican primary, I'll have to see what he does then. He might run as an independent or Libertarian Party candidate.

The problem is, third party candidates can't even get on the ballot; I would have to do a write-in. And if I have to do a write-in, I would probably just go with Ron Paul anyways.

It is very unfortunate that we even have to think about third party candidates. If the Republican Party would just get its act together and stop putting non-conservative candidates on the ballot, everything would be fine. The problem is that the GOP has shifted from its focus on limited government. It now champions using the government and enlarging the government to support traditionally socially conservative issues--and sometimes not even that (c.f. Guliani)!
