‘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.’

Seems to me Huckabee has hired away a speech writer from Clinton, or Obama, or Ron Paul.

No thanks, Huck, I’m not whitewashing your fence for you.

So now we know why the media love him. Used to be McPain was as close to a rat as Republican candidates got.

Now they have the Rino Huckster to push.

Link to Huckabee's article:

America's Priorities in the War on Terror by Mike Huckabee

Excerpts:

"The United States, as the world's only superpower, is less vulnerable to military defeat. But it is more vulnerable to the animosity of other countries. Much like a top high school student, if it is modest about its abilities and achievements, if it is generous in helping others, it is loved. But if it attempts to dominate others, it is despised.

American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out. The Bush administration's arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad. "

Read it and weep. His naivite is staggering --he thinks it's all our fault that we don't have better relations with the rest of the world, because we didn't pursue "more aggressive diplomacy" and we should reestablish diplomatic relations with Iran, and give toilets to terrorists, because lack of sanitation causes terrorism -- I kid you not.

Huckabee: "We must first destroy existing terrorist groups and then attack the underlying conditions that breed them: the lack of basic sanitation, health care, education, jobs, a free press, fair courts -- which all translates into a lack of opportunity and hope. The United States' strategic interests as the world's most powerful country coincide with its moral obligations as the richest. If we do not do the right thing to improve life in the Muslim world, the terrorists will step in and do the wrong thing. "

And also - it's all our fault (actually Bush' fault) that Iran is mad at us.

"Many Iranians are well disposed toward us. On 9/11, there was dancing in the streets in parts of the Muslim world but candlelit vigils and mourning in Tehran. When we invaded Afghanistan, Iran helped us, especially in our dealings with the Northern Alliance. Hoping for better bilateral relations, Tehran wanted to join us against al Qaeda. The CIA and the State Department supported this partnership, but some in the White House and the Pentagon did not. After President Bush included Iran in the "axis of evil," everything went downhill fast. "

There is an alternative to the Huckster. This person has served his country in Vietnam, in Congress for 26 years, and fought for conservative values the whole time. His name is Duncan Hunter. Cast your vote for the man in the primary.

Huckabee Begs For New Taxes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pLOC4krZI4

Huckabee Caught Lying About His Tax Hikes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYrGlfkvRV0&feature=related

Huckabee is a pro-illegal, pro-Amnesty, tax raising, big government loving, socialist/liberal, violent criminal pardoning, terrorist appeasing, false prophet. In other words Huckabee is really a Democrat.

Under no circumstances will I ever vote for this liberal/communist con man.

The Huckster Huckabee or Hillary will let in hundreds of millions of 3rd world socialist illegals.

The Huckster or Hillary will surrender to Iran and let Iran build a nuclear arsenal.

The Huckster or Hillary will raise taxes and increase the size of government putting the U.S. on the road to socialism which will destroy our way of life, destroy our economy, destroy our civilization.

If you think I'm exaggerating look at Huckabee's record and into the dangers of socialism.

But hey , the idiot Huckster lies and says he is pro-life so that makes all of this destruction ok for a lot of people.

This was a bad move. Breaks Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

Something that runs rampant on FR -- including the denegration of Huckabee.
