The "Reagan-Era" Mike Huckabee?

Reporter Paul Vitello among the believers: "Whatever unease politicians may stir when they invoke Christmas among non-Christians does not seem to apply here. The hegemony of Christianity is as undisputed and unbroken as the landscape is flat."

Reporter Paul Vitello sounded a little freaked out by the strong Christian streak in Iowa while following GOP candidate Mike Huckabee around the state for Friday's "Huckabee, [1]Back in Iowa, Brings Christmas Message [1]."

 

"Whatever unease politicians may stir when they invoke Christmas among non-Christians does not seem to apply here. The hegemony of Christianity is as undisputed and unbroken as the landscape is flat."

 

Then Vitello puts the Reaganesque mantle on Huckabee's shoulders.

 

"It is pretty much Reagan-era stuff, only funnier."

 

Actually, there are serious doubts about Huckabee's economic conservatism, and his foreign policy [2]isn't exactly Reaganesque.
