Huckabee Interview

I rarely post any articles about the ongoing presidential campaign, but this one caught my eye since it involves a former Southern Baptist pastor. Religion & Ethics newsletter is the source for this interesting interview with Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee. The interview covers the role his Christianity plays in his daily life and in making decisions. He also discusses his time as a Southern Baptist pastor and his current church attendance.

Huckabee also addresses his belief that some Christian conservatives are looking for an electable candidate and may be willing to sacrifice some of their beliefs.

Huckabee says, "I think that some of them, frankly, are more intoxicated with power than principle, and I know that's a pretty outrageous if not rather bold statement to make, but I think it's the truth. Some have become so acquainted now with power and have been so close to it that they forget that the purpose for which they got involved in politics was not to be close to power; it was to speak the truth to power."
