George Will's article today 12/3 in the New York Post "Horrible Huck" shows why the old wing of Republican "conservatism" and the "Club for Greed's" tactics will not win. They are a tired old bunch desperately clingin"g to their power and dwindling influence. Their accusations are much like the pharisees of old when they sensed that they were about to lose their power base to a young rabblerouser named Joshua(better known as Jesus. ), who happened to be the PEOPLE'S CHOICE. Because Huckabee has the audacity to acknowledge what the media has been trying to point out all along about him, that he is a Christian, for that he is condemned. ??The Irony of it all. The media thought they could embarras him on his faith but instead of running from his faith, like others are doing he is embracing it. Which says alot about being genuine, something these people know nothing of. George Will totally twists the words of Governor Huckabee. Governor Huckabee has never said that America needs a Christian leader...he is simply saying that this is who he is so they know where he is coming from..he would rather they get that type of information from himself than the media. The people are certainly have the choice to pick somebody else. That is America. Article 6 of the constitution RESTRICTS the GOVERNMENT(not The voter) from making any test in regards to the candidates religion...NOT the candidate and certainly NOT the voter. THE VOTER CAN PUT THE CANDIDATE TO ANY TEST THEY WANT- TO DETERMINE YOUR VOTE FOR SOMEOME BASED ON THEIR RELIGION OR LACK THEREOF IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE-THAT IS DEMOCRACY. There are atheists who put irrreligious tests on candidates just as much as voters put religious tests on them and that is their right! I CHALLENGE ANYONE TO TELL ME THEY WOULD NOT BRING UP, OR EVEN BRING INTO CONSIDERATION, TOM CRUISES RELIGION IF HE WERE RUNNING FOR OFFICE. BALONEY. I WOULD NOTE VOTE FOR HIM BASED ON HIS RELIGION ALONE AND THIS OF course people would and they have every RIGHT!!! By the way Mr.Will Huckabee NEVER said America CAN be energy dependent in 10 years he mer ely said it is a goal we should do everything in our power to make it happen! You and Mr. Novak are nothing but naysayers without the slightest bit of adherence to the "common touch" needed in modern day politics to win the hearts and minds of the common man, and that is why their brand of Republicanism is headed for the ash heap if we pick an "old dog" republican.
