WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee criticized the Bush administration's war against terrorism Friday, delivering a bold and potentially risky speech that could establish the former Arkansas governor as the maverick among top Republican candidates and test his party's loyalty to President Bush.

"This administration's bunker mentality has been counterproductive both at home and abroad," Huckabee said in opening a broad indictment of Bush's style and policy.

Is it just me, or does Huckabee sound exactly like Barrack Hussein Obama when he uses the DNC talking points to criticize Bush's foreign policy.

F Huck I’m getting really sick of this punk

..it’s not you
It’s called exposure. Watch his numbers drop!

Never take sides against the family, Huck. Never let anyone outside the family know what you’re thinking.

This was a bad move.

Breaks Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

I have lost all respect for this guy. I cannot stand the way he disrespects President Bush.

...the maverick among top Republican candidates,,,

Like McCain? God I'm getting sick of this A-wipes. Go Fred Go!! (You go too, Huckabee, just to a different place).

If for some reasons he’s elected, I can see him cave in on every pressure that Pelosi puts on him.

He is cranky because he wants to pig-out but can’t.

Stuff a burger in it Huckablimp!

...nothing like watching a politician troll for votes.
It’s like waking up the next morning and finding yourself in a strange bedroom with a stranger who looked fantastic the night before. The only good thing about it is...(.after checking your wallet), you can get out of there without stepping on the cat’s tail because your somewhat sober.

Can’t get to the link now without registering. I could swear, when I first read it, the date was 29th of Sept.

Did you just find the article? Was it a rehash, or did I read the date wrong on the headline?

Guess he wasn’t as popular in Sept., that this would be brought up??

[gpapa]

It was dated Sept. 29th.

[rineaux]

Thanks, thought I read that correctly.

[bruinbirdman]

Sometimes we need to be reminded that we haven't read everything published in the world, eh.

I for one am glad to see this at this time.

...That was despicable... >B-(

[Irish Eyes]

Never saw this article before. Needs a bump

[AHerald]

Dean without the scream.

Will get him more tv face time but a heckuva lot less primary votes. If posturing as a maverick by attacking Bush was good Republican politics Hagel wouldn't be sitting at home and McCain wouldn't be an also ran. Dumb move on a whole lotta levels.

[AHerald]

It was dated Sept. 29th.

Thanks. Wish I'd looked at the date myself before posting.

I just found it today after reading a story that referenced Huckabee’s “bunker mentality” quote. It may have been published two months ago, but I don’t think anybody knew who the Huckster was at that point, So I think it needs to be pointed out.

Vote Hunter in the primaries. After that, if he's not nominated, well, vote, uh, um, PUB while you hold your noses.
