Former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee, said he supports a mandatory cap-and-trade system to cut US greenhouse gas emissions, becoming the second Republican presidential candidate to call for a carbon market to address climate change.
Anyway as far as I'm concerned he's done. He's joined forces with the second greatest threat to American freedom (the greates threat being Islam).
So much for Huck stealing support from Fred and Rudy...
It appears I have zero support for Huckabee.
Kewords: Huck = Bearmanpig...lol
‘Former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee, said he supports a mandatory cap-and-trade system to cut US greenhouse gas emissions, becoming the second Republican presidential candidate to call for a carbon market to address climate change.’
Tells me he isn’t ‘all that’ as some have claimed in this forum recently.
So who is the first?
Juan McCainez?
If this is true then this guy is a FLAMING IDIOT!!!
We don’t need any leading the US who either buys into this HUGE FRAUD or is too stupid to it it as such!!!
My support for the Huckster is now fully in the negative percentile.
to it it as such = to KNOW it as such
Might I modestly propose that all those who believe CO2 to be a “pollutant” should stop breathing?
Another politician jumping on the junk-science bandwagon. Huckabee should take his campaign over to the Dems and maybe they will accept his delusions.
He's gone:Mike Huckabee
I also back caps on gases and co2 being belched out from every POLITICIAN who opens their mouths. It seems the republicans are getting as bad as the democrats. Spineless turd sandwiches and douche bags.
Jeez. Can’t anyone be conservative anymore?
Maybe Fred is, but he needs to turn up the volume.
Its a done deal. There are powerful interest set to make a ton of money from “carbon markets”.
Bump!
Just when I start saying to myself, “Self, that ole Huckleberry ain’t that bad of a guy,” He goes and says something like this, making it impossible to vote for him.
No, Juan McCanez with the little squiggly line above the n.
That’s it for him. Thompson / Hunter all the way.
I stand corrected. Don’t know how to create the Spanish squiggly on my P.C. though.
yeah. I too was interested in Huck as I didn’t know much about him. He seems to be a nice person and pro-life, but other than that, I think he is totally unacceptable.
Juan McCañez
Thank you
There it is, ZULU.
I’ve been fearful of Huckabee for a while now. His support from the unions, illegal immigrant front groups and overall condemnation by fiscal (and many social) conservatives, plus the fact that after Huckabee left office the GOP was left in shambles in Arkansas...it’s wayyyy too much. For Rudy or Romney it’s one thing, only Huckabee can turn Arkansas blue.
Now I have to get past Mcain/Fingold election reform and Romney's change of heart. There is a lot of good on the Republican side of the candidates but there is so much in the closets of these candidates.
Well dang! He was my first choice but if he’s jumped on that bandwagon sayonara! That leaves me with zilch, zero, nada choices. I pray there’s a dark horse out there somewhere ready to jump into the fray otherwise we’re going to be stuck with her heinous.

Don’t be taken in by the Huckster!
I was duped. I saw some good things and did not know about his immigration stance and now this crap. I also thought it was going to be Fred but I am just not inspired by him. He seems shaky in the debates and I am just not sure. He needs to get a footing and fast.
I am looking for a leader. I see none in our field of choises thus far... pretty much sucks but no doubt I will vote for whoever makes it as Hillary is NOT an option... This blows...
Uh oh. Big stumble for Mike, here.
I wouldn'ty take "Pat Buchannan in a dress" Noonan too seriously. Just another bitter old has been whining because her glory days are gone and lost foever.
However, it looks like she finally got one right. Huckabee is Democrat lite.
This might be one issue where he’s actually worse than Hillary.
See that skinny, sour looking guy? He used to be chubby and have a sense of humor. He was diagnosed with diabetes, and felt the fear of death, I guess. Anyway, now he’s a strident, annoying stick. All that’s left of a formerly plesant man.
``It goes to the moral issue,'' the former Arkansas governor said at a climate-change conference today in Manchester, New Hampshire. ``We have a responsibility to reduce greenhouse-gas emissionsHow is this different from Al Gore?
Ping...thought this might interest you.
Maybe Fred is, but he needs to turn up the volume.Not maybe. Fred IS a conservative.
But you're right about the volume.
Hey, Fred, We can't hear you!
One more article for your list?
Bye bye Huck been good to know ya. Communism is no position for a Conservative.
The cap-and-trade proposal is bad news. It is a proposal for socialism via environmental scaremongering.
The idea that global warming is an imminent threat is not supported by the data. There are, indeed, some valid concerns, but the sky is not falling.
If social conservatives think they can disrespect economic conservatives, this is really the end of the Republican coalition. Economic conservatives will turn off to Republicans who are squish on taxes and regulations.
Any Republican candidate has to hold the coalition together, as well as appeal to some moderate, swing and independent voters, to have a chance of winning.
During Bush’s administration, we have seen the majority that Newt and other stratgic thinkers put together, has been pissed away. We now face $1 trillion in new taxes, the environmental agenda, and the multicultural / homosexual / feminazi / race agenda.
Every part of the Republican coalition is going to be hurt very, very badly.
“I also thought it was going to be Fred but I am just not inspired by him.”
Fred looks like a tired, old man to me. No fire in the belly. I’d like to see Hunter get it, but don’t see it happening. That said, I’m going to vote for whoever opposes Hitlery.
This is why we have the primaries, debates, etc.
The candidates need to get their positions out there.
I’m really disappointed with Huckabee...
I am not suprised in the least.
