Huckabee Says Problem With Romney Is His "Inconsistencies," Not His Faith

[nsd]

(CBS) Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee today commented on the efforts of some of his supporters in Michigan and Ohio to convince presumptive GOP nominee John McCain not to ask former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney to be his running mate.

"I think a lot of people, not just social conservatives, but a lot of the Republicans I know are not necessarily comfortable with Romney," Huckabee told CBSNews.com. "But it has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with inconsistencies in positions he's held, and that's it."

In response to buzz about the former Massachusetts governor becoming McCain's running mate, an alliance of Ohio social conservatives, many of whom are former Huckabee supporters, have formed a group called "Social Conservatives Against Romney." Romney had moderate positions on many hot-button social issues, including abortion, before his run for president.

"There are people in the evangelical community who would have a problem with his Mormonism," he added. "I am not one of them. I mean, I'm very clear that I do not believe Mormonism is a Christian faith. But that does not disqualify someone from being President or Vice President. And my guess would be that, probably, about 15 to 20 percent of the evangelical community would have a problem with his Mormonism."

1. I agree. My problem with Romney isn't his faith. It's his inconsistencies.

You know, Jesus said care for the poor, and Romney and his ilk do anything but.

You know, Jesus said to love one another, and Romney and his ilk hate on people.


Just little inconstancies like that.


Funny, it's not jost Romney I feel that way about. It's Huckabee, too. And all their little sheeple followers.

2. "It has everything to do with inconsistencies in positions he's held"

Then why is he still supporting McCain? He changes his positions all the time!
