Huckabee NOT Running for President
Pundit Press ^ | 5/14/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/14/2011 6:06:01 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

In an eight o'clock announcement on Fox News, Mike Huckabee announced that he will NOT be running for President in 2012.

Mr. Huckabee was one of the major contenders for the Republican nomination in 2008, garnering 282 delegates by the convention. The former governor of Arkansas, he now hosts a show on Fox News.

Huckabee discussed voters that will support him, how he believes that he will gain plenty of money fund-raising, and his prayer to Jesus Christ.

He also spoke of "clarity" and an "inner-peace." He stated: "I will not run for President."

You’re correct. He’;; male more money, and at a much smaller personal cost, as a pundit. It’s the same with Trump and with Palin.

Is there a Republican with fire in the belly for public policy? Ron Paul and German Cain - anyone else?

The "reconciliation" you seek she expresses eloquently every time she says "It's too early yet."

She knows that every month that passes before she announces her run is another month that her family doesn't have to suffer the blades and arrows that will materialize the second she goes public.

She and her family are made of some of the toughest American steel ever forged, and the crucible of media heat in which it was formed is without question the hottest I have seen in six decades of scrutinizing the American political furnace.

Remember, too, that unlike many of the other candidates, and in diametric juxtaposition to the Misleadia weasels who concoct their vileness, Sarah and her family are protected by a prayer shield offered up by millions of Christian Americans, and they are surrounded by an army of God's own angels.

Great news.

He will still try to be a spoiler.

I wonder if he’s convinced someone to pick him for VP.

We’re going around in circles here. “Shrinking violets” was your word. I don’t think they’re shrinking violets, but I know attacks on her children have been an issue with Palin.

Well, those are wonderful thoughts. I hope you're right about:

1) It's God's will for her to be POTUS (This would tell me that God is not yet done with America. How can He not be done with a country that continues to slaughter over 50 million unborn ("the slaughter of the innocents")?) and

2) She's willing to pay the price and let others including her family pay the price for doing God's will. (Others always pay a price when we do God's will, but we must put them in His hands where they're better off than they would be otherwise.)

God Bless.

Take your blinders off flagless lady!

Palin is still on Fox where she can do the best for her candidacy. Were she to announce, she would be off all her media exposure, and her candidacy dead.

She will declare at the right time NEXT YEAR, like all the sensible candidates always do. None of the present declared candidates will survive her declaration next year.

Yep, all he has to do is wait for his fellow democrat Obama to drop out, and he is off and running.

That is what the BC talk was all about.

A full reading of the Old Testament finds many instances of God's people being disobedient to Him, followed by His subjecting them to years of oppression by Godless reprobates before delivering them by lifting up a leader to take them back to His path.

While God's people in the Old Testament were specifically the Jews, Jesus brought forth a new covenant which was for all the people. The one nation that has best fulfilled the role of God's people in the modern day is America.

We have been very disobedient. We have been subjected to years of oppression by Godless reprobates. And if we are to be delivered at all, it will have to happen now, as there will be no God-fearing "America" left to save after six more years of Obama. You know it, and I know it.

It's either Palin in 2012, or "Sayonara."

The kids will have the fame and fortune whether she runs or not... they have it now.

If she runs, they start taking knives and arrows from Kathy Griffin, Joy Behar, David Letterman, and every bull-dyke, limp-fag and commie character assassin the depraved Libturds can throw at 'em.

Money is nice, but it doesn't silence the rot-weilers.

What brought that on?

Huckabee is still a good man who did the right thing.

Anyone will be found wanting in a comparison with God.

Actually, I do not believe that Huck even is a real believer. Good man? How so? Nothing he has done is intentionally good for anyone but himself.
