That’s what the man said. We need him to play at the Free Republic Fred Thompson and or Duncan Hunter Inaugural Ball anyway.
I like Mike Huckabee. He’s a successful Southern Governor, a socially conservative Baptist preacher, and he stands right on my number-one issue—national survival, both military and prenatal. He wants to kill terrorists, not babies. He also shows some shades of fiscal conservatism, albeit with some “compassionate” strains like Bush. But when compared to the leading candidates Senator McCain (RINO-DC but occasionally visits AZ), Mayor Giuliani (pro-death RINO-NY), and Mitt Romney (R wannabe-MA).
I like your sense of humor.
Huckabee supports ILLEGALS! He can certainly count me out no matter who he thinks he is going to run with!
For a damn good reason. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!!
Mike Huckabee is great on abortion and gun rights and he can give a good speech. But he is a big-government lover. Don’t be fooled by his Baptist-preacher style speeches; Huckabee is a nanny-stater at its finest.
You forgot to add that he has an icecubes chance in hell of winning the nomination.
Sorry wish it was otherwise but thems the facts.
Who does have a chance? I see Republicans not particularly enthused with the media-anointed triumvirate of McCain, Giuliani, and Romney. I wouldn’t be surprised if none of them gets the nomination. Who’s left? In the recent polls I’ve seen, only Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Tom Tancredo placed (>1%). Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich take a significant portion of the poll, but neither man has declared his candidacy. What if neither ever does? Their share of the vote will go somewhere—and probably not to any member of the media-anointed triumvirate.
I don’t like McCain because of his lengthy Senatorial record and associated personality disorder. I’ve rejected Giuliani as unacceptably pro-death. And I don’t trust Romney the “conservative” or find him particularly electable. I’m searching for a candidate whom I can support, and I suspect that many members of the conservative Republican base share my sentiments.
Ok Ok I know it’s early (at least people keep saying that) but when I look at the polls and the money he’s raised...It ain’t gonna happen.
As for McCain! My mother has a better chance than him...and she’s been dead for ten years.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." - Thomas Jefferson
Our constitution of government and law was premised upon this basic idea of Creator-endowed life and liberty.
Not until that underlying premise had been sufficiently erased from our nation's textbooks and delegitimized in our public discourse was it possible for politicians and judges to consider laws to "legalize" the human "taking" of a life, whether before it emerges from the womb, or when it is in the advanced stage of disease or old age.
Eliminate the correlative ideas of a Creator of immortal life and the fact (as recognized by our Founders) that it is not humanly possible to "disjoin" that life from its liberty to exist, and the nation becomes a place where persons can be discarded merely because they are perceived threats to the independence of other persons or "burdens" to society.
The "hand of force" takes many forms, but it is always a tyrannical hand, whether wielded by a common criminal, a King, an Emperor, a Congress, a judge, or by a physician whose appropriate role is to heal and save life.
Oh, for men and women who can articulate the idea underlying our liberty!
