Freeps less than enthusiastic about Huckabee, calling him "a RINO nit-wit"
No celebration at all over at RimJob Central.

One of their threads in "Breaking News" is "Jim Robinson Endorses Fred Thompson (from Fred08.com)"...

4. Absolutely predictable. Rush doesn't like Huckabee.
Rush, the Wall Street Journal, guys like Bill Kristol - they are the puppeteers pulling the FReepers' strings. I imagine there are more than a few FReepers up against it regarding health care or something similar, but they vote against their own self interests, so long as someone is against gay marriage, and Rush and the GOP fat cats can pull their strings.

13. Funny how the GOP talking heads aren't now supporting one of their avowed Christian candidates
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 09:53 PM by brentspeak
All their laughable claims to valuing GOP candidates who are avowedly Christian get thrown under the bus as soon as that GOP Christian candidate happens to be something less than a Wall Street corporate toady type.

11. Fundies are OK to use, but in private they call them "the nuts".
Book says Bush just using Christians
‘Tempting Faith’ author David Kuo worked for Bush from 2001 to 2003

By Jonathan Larsen
"Countdown" producer
MSNBC
updated 12:43 p.m. CT, Fri., Oct. 13, 2006

More than five years after President Bush created the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, the former second-in-command of that office is going public with an insider’s tell-all account that portrays an office used almost exclusively to win political points with both evangelical Christians and traditionally Democratic minorities.

The office’s primary mission, providing financial support to charities that serve the poor, never got the presidential support it needed to succeed, according to the book.

Entitled “Tempting Faith,” the book is not scheduled for release until Oct. 16, but MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” has obtained a copy.

“Tempting Faith’s” author is David Kuo, who served as special assistant to the president from 2001 to 2003. A self-described conservative Christian, Kuo’s previous experience includes work for prominent conservatives including former Education Secretary and federal drug czar Bill Bennett and former Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Kuo, who has complained publicly in the past about the funding shortfalls, goes several steps further in his new book.

He says some of the nation’s most prominent evangelical leaders were known in the office of presidential political strategist Karl Rove as “the nuts.”

“National Christian leaders received hugs and smiles in person and then were dismissed behind their backs and described as ‘ridiculous,’ ‘out of control,’ and just plain ‘goofy,’” Kuo writes.
