There is so much about Christian evangelicals that coastal liberals don’t understand. Like how a man of obvious intelligence can attribute his rise in the polls to mass prayer and God’s will.
Huckabee backtracked slightly after this appearance, adding, “I’m saying that when people pray, things happen…. I’m not saying that God wants me to be elected.”
Huckabee, who is taking first and second in national polls of the Republican race nowadays, told GQ recently that it isn’t fair that he gets so much scrutiny for his faith while the other candidates don’t. He can’t make those complaints with a straight face if he’s going to go around saying stuff like this.
America needs to decide if they are ready for a president who literally sees God in the details. Doesn’t the idea of getting God to do what you want through prayer contradict the very idea of being a governor or president? Because you wouldn’t need to pass and sign laws to get things done if God can really create new realities if you ask for them.
And speaking of, I’m willing to be bet an awful lot of people (more than those who are praying for Huckabee’s rise) have been praying for Roe v. Wade to be overturned. Weird how that hasn’t happened.
