There was a time I thought Mike Huckabee was a good man, the kind of Republican I could imagine voting for. Maybe I was wrong then or maybe he one day realized there was a career advantage to pandering to the Extreme Right. That would apply to either of his careers — running for public office or hosting TV and radio programs for the Fox News audience. Lately, he's been thrilling those folks by questioning Barack Obama's devotion to Christianity based on the president's support of Gay Marriage.
But doesn't that apply to…well, everyone who supports or at least doesn't actively oppose Gay Marriage? Huckabee has long maintained that it is an undeniable fact that America is a Christian Nation. The polls are telling us that somewhere between 55% and 59% of Americans approve of two guys or two gals getting hitched. Some polls say a majority of Republicans now feel that way. Could someone ask former-Governor Huckabee if 55% to 59% of Americans are no longer Good Christians? I suspect they are and he's just got the definition wrong.
