SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Irony piled on top of irony

It seems the mullahs here dislike Huckabee for the self-same reasons that Romeney fears the Evangelists will not vote for him!

I am not sure what you are saying. If you are saying it is ironic the board mullahs don't like Huckabee for the very same characteristics they themselves display, I agree.

The difference of course being, Huckabee is running as the Christian candidate.

I don't like Huckabee because he's spending more time talking about his faith than talking about the issues.

Romney is the exact opposite of that.

All you mullahs are the same whether Evangelist, Mormon or whatever.

You're not a mullah though sometimes you are a poor imitation of one when trying to provoke.

There are conservative evangelicals on texags who say they will vote for Hillary before they vote for Mitt. Because Hillary, at least, is a Christian.

Huckabee is pretty far from being conservative, which in some ways is to his credit. But it is this radical group that will vote for him on the basis of what they see as his religious beliefs--they don't care what his political views are.

Precisely my point. I bet lots of CBers would sooner vote for Hillary as Huckabee, and they're not supporting Romney for his politics. This is kind of like wathcing a metaphysical Iran-Iraq war.

Don't get me started on generalizations about stereotypical apostates.

There's a part of me that really wishes idiots like these could get their wish.
