CAVUTO: But now it seems to be registering in these latest polls that have you up. I think, in Iowa, you and Rudy Giuliani are essentially tied. Nationally, in some of them, you place above Mitt Romney.
What is going on?
HUCKABEE: The message is getting through.
People are looking for a candidate who is just straightforward, and I think is giving them a sense that the message is authentic. I am not saying anything different. I think you hit it on the head without even realizing it. I am saying the same thing that I said before.
CAVUTO: I never realize what I'm asking, so...
HUCKABEE: But I think that is a lot of it, is that people say, this guy is saying what he said before. He's not just changing his message to run for president.
And, if there is anything that people are looking for, it's somebody who has true convictions and hopefully will communicate them, and then explain why that will work for the economy.
CAVUTO: But, you know, why I think you are registering now, Governor, for good or ill, is they are picking on you more. And one of the things you hear a lot is, you know, when he was running things back in Arkansas, he was a taxer. He was a liberal on that stuff. So, he's not what he appears to be.
HUCKABEE: Well, I was anything but a liberal in Arkansas. That would really surprise a lot of the Democrat legislators who beat me over the head about being too far to the right.
But here's what I did do. I did govern...

Bush lite. 1/3 less illegals
Bush 2.0. I'm not a Hucksterbee fan.
Less filling...
Do you really think he’s v2.0, or would v1.2 be more like it?
Same great Amnesty!
...and that same green beer aftertaste.
Only reason I say 2.0 is because I think Huckabee has more brains than Bush. Granted, that is like being voted most alert in the coma ward, but Hucksterbee might be a slight upgrade.
"I say, I say, one day us white boys will be in the minority!"
I’ve been weaving back and forth on the fence with this guy. The other day I read an article where he suggested we needed to do more for the poor. He made a couple of other comments that sounded like a closet liberal which backed up what I’ve been hearing people from Arkansas say. So I’m quite leary of him now.
We’ve spent enough trillions on the poor. If we haven’t ended poverty by now, we’re not going to.
Sorry Huck, I would like to back you, but I don’t think you’re quite what was advertised.
Well, if Bush, the Democrats and the U.N. get their way, that day will come sooner than later.
He called those who oppose illegals “bigots” and is a supporter of amnesty. We already elected one “compassionate conservative” and that has not turned out well. Let’s not make that mistake again.
Yuckabee! The AR version of Lindsey Graham!
I agree.
You mean “Lindsey Grahamnesty.”
Yeah,“Lindsey Grahamnesty” is the best moniker for this monkey man but he’s aka la Lindsey, aka Lindsey Lite-Loafer, aka No Tase-me Lindsey....in SC we have a treasure trove of Lindsey-isms and continue to pepper his offices with more every day.
Here’s your cue :)
HEAR HEAR!
Depending on who you talk to, we've spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $11-$14 TRILLION on the "war on poverty", yet 40+ years later we still have the same percentage of "poor"? We've clearly lost this war. What's the exit strategy? When can we expect a timetable for a pull out? I'd love to see those questions posed to these candidates in one of these "debates".
This whole notion of a "war on poverty" is nothing more than a tool, dreamed up FDR, then enhanced by Johnson, to stir up class and wealth envy and ultimately keep Liberal politico's entrenched in power. They use it every election cycle and every election cycle an amazing number of sheeple fall for it. Now, Huckabee is using it and he claims to be a Conservative?
In the immortal words of the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth:
Rich people get and stay rich by doing and repeating the behavior that makes them rich.
Poor people get and stay poor by doing and repeating the behavior that makes them poor.
It's really no more complicated than that.
Sorry, Huckster, more than enough of my tax money has been flushed down that rat hole......and we've got way too many illegals here in SE Tennessee for me to support someone who is so soft on border security......
