He supports a nationwide smoking ban anyplace where people work, constitutional protection for sodomy, big government, higher taxes and government benefits for illegal aliens. That puts him about three earmarks away from being Nancy Pelosi.

All I want for Christmas is for Christians to listen to what Mike Huckabee says, rather than what the media say about him. The mainstream media keep flogging Huckabee for being a Christian, apparently unaware that this “God” fellow is testing through the roof in focus groups.
Huckabee is a “compassionate conservative” only in the sense that calling him a conservative is being compassionate.
He responded to my column last week — pointing out that he is on record supporting the Supreme Court’s sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision — by saying that he was relying on the word of a caller to his radio show and didn’t know the details of the case. Ironically, that’s how most people feel about sodomy: They support it until they hear the details.
First, I’d pay a lot of money to hear how a court opinion finding that sodomy is a constitutional right could be made to sound reasonable. But the caller had the right response when Huckabee asked him, “What’s your favorite radio station?” So he seemed like a reliable source.
Second, Huckabee’s statement that he agreed with the court’s sodomy ruling was made one week after the decision. According to Nexis, in that one week, the sodomy decision had been the cover story on every newspaper in the country, including The New York Times. It was the talk of all the Sunday news programs. It had been denounced by every conservative and Christian group in America — as well as other random groups of sane individuals having no conservative inclinations whatsoever.
