...suggest. Indeed, though troubled by Sarkozy's venture into religion, Lévy suspects it was "calculated as a nod to Catholic (voters), before quickly making another, without doubt, towards the Jews, Free Masons, and Muslims". But unlike other contradictions, Lévy believes Sarkozy's professions of faith are particularly lamentable, since they "make no sense at all coming from the mouth of a leader of a secular state".

...Hampshire Mike Huckabee talked a lot about freedom, the Fair Tax and limited government. Down here, he has begun speaking in depth about his personal faith, telling crowds big and small, including roughly 2,000 who attended church in Spartanburg on Sunday, about his experience in Bible Camp at the age of 10, when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior...
