Spoiler: This is a tale of not just your normal everyday evangelical hypocrisy, but instead is hypocrisy on steroids that takes it to an entirely new level. If you are a fan of these people then you might wish to consider stopping here are not reading any further.

Let’s start with a brief overview of “My Faith Votes”.

Who are “My Faith Votes?

My Faith Votes is a non-profit that … oh come now, the clue is in the name. They want to encourage you to vote.

That sounds fine … but … yea, you guessed that bit.

They claim to be non-partisan, but you know how this works. Hint: Mike Huckabee is the Chairman, so if you don’t vote the way he would want you to vote, then you are clearly not a “Christian”, as defined by Mike.

To work out what the right thing to do is, a common idea that became popular in the 1900s was “What Would Jesus Do?“, or WWJD. Well … here it can more or less be summed up as “What Would Mike Do?” when it comes to telling you how to vote. These days if they tried to run with “What would Lincoln do?” or even “What would Reagan do?” then that would seriously scupper their goal because today’s GOP, led by the sexual predator and convicted felon, would be completely repugnant to both of them.
