Mike Huckabee’s got a new book out, and he’s a bit bitter about Christian right leaders who failed to support his campaign, according to this Time article.

Money quote: “Many conservative Christian leaders – who never backed Huckabee, despite their holding similar stances on social issues – are spared neither the rod nor the lash. Huckabee writes of Gary Bauer, the conservative Christian leader and former presidential candidate, as having an “ever-changing reason to deny me his support.” Of one private meeting with Bauer, Huckabee says, “It was like playing Whac-a-Mole at the arcade – whatever issue I addressed, another one surfaced as a ‘problem’ that made my candidacy unacceptable.” He also accuses Bauer of putting national security before bedrock social issues like the sanctity of life and traditional marriage”

Huck also calls out Pat Robertson, Bob Jones III, and Pastor John Hagee for endorsing other candidates.
