FINALLY THE TRUTH IS REVEALED!!

Huckabee Supporters were not mostly Evangelicals...they were mostly poor.

I am a follower of Christ but I refuse to be labeled as an Evangelical. In the past few months it bothered...no....offended me to be labeled as such because of the overly NEGATIVE connotation the label comes with. Plus I am not a Social Conservative. I disagreed with Huckabee on those issues but his views on them helped me choose my candidate. Out of all the other major GOP candidates Huckabee was the only one with consistent views on social issues. Why did that make a difference? It gave Huckabee an aura of trust and authenticity that no one else had. I felt I could trust him with the issues I did agree with him on.

I don't mind being labeled as "poor" because I am...economically speaking.

In other news More and more evangelicals are now Democrats.
