The Huckabee Phenomena
Otherwise known as How the Religious Right can't come to grips with the separation of Chruch and State.
Romney is speaking in regard to the pretext of religion as an overriding principle to the USA Constitution. The Republicans involved are so desperate to reel in the Right Wing of the Republican Party that they are willing to unmind the USA Constitution. They are all guilty of it, it's just that Huckabee is more covert and less offensive to the Average American and we wonder how all this happens?

Romney: No Religious Test for President (click here)
By GLEN JOHNSON – 55 minutes ago
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney, confronting voters' skepticism about his Mormon faith, declared Thursday that as president he would "serve no one religion, no one group, no one cause," and said calls for him to explain and justify his religious beliefs go against the profound wishes of the nation's founders.
At the same time, he decried those who would remove from public life "any acknowledgment of God," and he said that "during the holiday season, nativity scenes and menorahs should be welcome in our public places."
In a speech prepared for delivery less than a month before the first nomination primaries, Romney said he shares "moral convictions" with Americans of all faiths, though surveys suggest up to half of likely voters have qualms about electing the first Mormon president.
"There are some who would have a presidential candidate describe and explain his church's distinctive doctrines," Romney said. "To do so would enable the very religious test the founders prohibited in the Constitution. No candidate should become the spokesman for his faith. For if he becomes president, he will need the prayers of the people of all faiths."
Excerpts from Romney's speech, which he was delivering at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at 10:30 a.m. EST, were released in advance by his campaign....
The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees Religious Freedom to it's citizens. It does not guarantee a goverment comprising of religious components or the basis of law. The Republicans have aligned themselves with the only people that care to be affiliated with this corrupt and corruptable party. They have found a group of religiously biased partisans and have made them a priority to elections when they could not otherwise achieve a majority vote in any election.
The actions of the Republcian National Committee are to undermine the USA Constitution replacing it with pretext of Christianity as the soul basis of USA Law. We are far from under the Mushroom Cloud of extremists with 'exclusively' religious demands of the USA and it's military ambitions.
