I consider myself a rank amateur in politics, but I try to read something everyday to better educate myself. Having said that, I am shaking my head at some on the religious right who are making a spectacle of themselves with this whole “No Mitt/I was for him before I was against him” jive. If they don’t get themselves under control and stop flailing about and writhing on the floor over their erstwhile standard bearer, Pastor Mike “Stalking Horse” Huckabee, they are going to burn through whatever is left of their credibility.
The rest of the religious right (of which I consider myself a member) is watching and taking note of who is involved in these antics. Come 2012, when it is highly likely that the Republican Wing of the Republican Party will have to sweep up whatever mess all these folks leave behind, we will be choosing to work with reliable, loyal and competent political activists.
I provided a quote below from a comment on one of the articles on the controversy.

It is no surprise to me that this group officially endorses Mike Huckabee as President, even after John McCain has won the nomination. It looks to me like Mike Huckabee is trying to gather as much support around him as possible to position himself well for the 2012 election cycle.
Apparently, these conservative leaders believe that combining religion and government would be best for everyone. I agree with this article that all of them are now “flip-floppers.” It is also amazing to me that many of the “conservative RINO” leaders signing this ad were from Massachusetts who obviously lost some money for the support of their own political agendas through Mitt Romney’s work to provide a surplus to the state.
It is interesting to me that Mitt Romney still took Massachusetts. If he had done so terribly there, why did the GOP in Massachusetts give him such a resounding victory? I guess these leaders are not all that they are cracked up to be! I would recommend that those who support them leave now! All of them have their own political agenda and it may not conform to what you think it should be. Buyer beware!
