A Stitch in Time Saves Nine...But Haste Makes Waste

More on Huckabee
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
A comment I left on another blog in response to a Jonah Goldberg column suggesting that Mike Huckabee is -- get this -- "too progressive" for "true" conservatives:
It's a bit retarded to suggest that the James Dobsons and Pat Robertsons of the right are fleeing from Huckabee because he supports a national smoking ban or a federal sales tax.

This is pure spin by the radical right to try to rationalize the refusal of social conservative theocrats to choose principles (Huckabee, Brownback) over winning (Giuliani, Romney).
Can you imagine such a scenario in the rear pews of the Evangelical churches:

--Baptist? Check.

--Life begins at conception? Check.

--Rejects evolution? Check.

--Uncompromising anti-gay bigotry? Check.

--School prayer? Check.

--Ban flag burning? Check.

--National sales tax? Egads! We can't support him now!

Preposterous.
