Why didn’t he run for national office?
Cause he was SMART !
= )
A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.
***Here’s the counter argument:

Romney is a class-act who I’m proud to say doesn’t fall into the same category as the wheelin’, dealin’, back-door dirty trickin’ Hack and Frack.
If that makes him incapable of being president, then I’ll take him any day over McNasty.
I’ll bet he sleeps a heluva lot better at night with a good conscience. And he’s a hottie to boot.
Yeah, I try to leave the details to the people who know what they’re talking about.
Me too.
What about the back-door amnesty deal do people not get? It boggles the mind.
Be nice if Huck was such a winner on the subject when he actually had power. Don’t fool yourself that either Huck or Romney are better than the other on the subject.
what we DO know is McCain is abysmally bad on the subject and a vote for Huckabee is eventually a vote for McCain......so please enjoy the illusion you are taking a stand on illegal immigration because it won’t last past the convention.
Do we "deserve" all the monumental BS that has issued forth from professed conservatives in the last 20 years when we (collectively - not me) bit our lips and supported foux conservatives like Bush, Dole, and Bush and innumerable others of their ilk (Hiya Arlen!) in the Congress? It took the election of Clinton to lead to the one good Congress we've had in 20 years, it took a Carter to get to Reagan...and it's going to take another shock to the system to wake up the sheeple and make them realize - for a moment - that there's something more important than bread and circuses.
“Oh, come on. Huckabee lied like a rug. Do your homework, and Google up Huckabee +LULAC + Little Rock and have a look at the press coverage of the speech Huckabee gave to the LULAC convention three years ago in Little Rock.
That speech utterly, utterly condemns Huckabee’s most recent statements about immigration as lies. Real, palpable, measurable, testable lies.
Oh, and while you’re there — see if you can find the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, I think it was, that ran the photograph of Huckabee giving that speech.....and look who’s standing on the podium behind him. Bill Clinton himself. Now ask yourself.......what was Bill Clinton doing there? And then take a good look at that photo. What do you see? Does it make you feel good? Or do you get all queasy inside, because you’re suddenly recognizing for the first time that you’re dealing with full-grown rogue politicians and that your handle on them is broken? And that Bill Clinton has got more games than anyone on this board can get his mind around?
Go look. Then come back and tell us what you think.”
BRAVO!!..Don’t mess with lentulgrass....lol You have hit the mark all day!!
LOL
Draft Santorum!!!
That proceeds from the assumption Huck is preferable to McCain...which most Fred-heads would disagree with.
Amen!
I agree the rhetoric is heated but don’t assume the rational that Hillary being elected is better, long term, for conservatism than McCain’s election is not well thought out....even if you disagree with it.
Not at all doubting your post but I would be very happy if you could link me something explaining how the Clintons manipulated the GOP into nominating Dole?
Not according to McCain. He has a law with his name on it - perhaps you've heard of it? - that prohibits folks like you and me from a whole list of things that are no longer "fair" in politics.
Over 50% of the people in McCain’s HOME STATE voted against him (i.e. for someone else)
If the mark of a candidate is how many people vote “against” him, none of these guys look great.
Actually, they all suck.
I don’t believe that the claim is that Huckabee “is not viable”....rather, the claim is that neither Huck nor Mitt is viable if both stay in....thus, the argument goes, Huck (if he were truly conservative) would get out so conservatives could consolidate and stop McCain.
If Huck was really trying to win (he’s not) he would be saying the same in reverse.
You are awfully hostile to a person who shares your distaste for all three.
I’m not sure what I “lost”....I’m simply pointing out that you are ranting and ranting isn’t going to change anyone’s view in your direction.
Feel free to continue though, if you like.
