Huckabee’s experience with foreign policy consists of eating at the International House of Pancakes.

To keep referencing Reagan, Huckabee sure is making allot of political enemies by attacking many on the R side.

Rollins needs a sit-down-heart-to-heart with that boy! He is fumbling around like Obama did earlier in Obama’s campaign.

In a brief foray into politics, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday denounced comments by a leading Republican presidential candidate that the Bush administration's foreign policy is arrogant and unilateral.

Bush's foreign policy is arrogant not because we're 'going it alone', but because of his support of socialist middle east dictators and the theft of our money to corrupt arab regimes. It is arrogant to the US taxpayer that we have troops in over 130 countries, so that Europe and Japan and S Korea can spend money on social programs while their defense is being footed by the US taxpayer. Bush's foreign policy is arrogant, not towards other nations (although I'm sure the citizens of other nations dislike his support for their local oppressor of the month), but towards the citizens of this country.

Important safety tip for GOP candidates: You are not going to win primary voters by attacking the Bush administration. Huckabee is already over.

Huckabee, and his so last century ‘strategists’ seem to be on the same wavelength as the NYTimes, in believing that aligning with a Bush position is ridiculously partisan.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/washington/20mukasey.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

‘Strong Bush Advocate’
From the New York Times, via James Taranto in OpinionJournal.com:

Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey has signaled in his first weeks on the job that he intends to be a forceful advocate for some of President Bush’s most controversial antiterrorism policies, even if that means angering Congressional leaders who hoped that he would instead focus on repairing the strained relationship between the Justice Department and Capitol Hill.

In what was billed as a major policy speech on Wednesday to a panel of the American Bar Association, Mr. Mukasey suggested that lawmakers who opposed legislation before Congress to broaden eavesdropping powers—and to offer legal protection for telephone utilities that cooperate—were undermining the ability to deal with terrorist threats.

“We’ve seen what happens when terrorists go undetected,” he said. “We have to do everything possible within the law to prevent terrorists from translating their warped beliefs into action. To stop them, we have to know their intentions, and one of the best ways to do that is by intercepting their communications.”

The headline for this Times piece reads, “Mukasey Signals He’ll Be a Strong Bush Advocate.” Yet The Wall Street Journal reports that Mukasey has “issued guidelines aimed at limiting contacts between the White House and the Justice Department, seeking to overcome allegations of political interference that dogged his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales.”

In institutional terms, then, it would seem Mukasey is anything but “a strong Bush advocate.” But the Times seems to have conflated the nation’s interests with those of President Bush. Unless you favor making it easier for terrorists to attack America, in this view, you’re a “Bush advocate.”

...That said...I am thoroughly DISGUSTED by the way Huckabee has been treated by nearly every Republican I used to respect. The broken Party has no class and its lust for power has made it as dishonest as its enemy....

Not to worry... it's a tactic and I can see it clearly. The idea is to cut him down soon, so 'other' candidates will gain...

I am a Duncan supporter, but admire the Evangelicals for getting it together and show some power!... So I say. GO EVANGELICALS!... you deserve it... I wish we could do the same for Duncan! :)

So who are we supposed to be cheering for?

Condi knows she now has the Bush Administration going “her way” (and the way of the State Department globalists and pro-Arabists) so she can talk some smack.

Hey Condi? How about those North Korean people you and your boss have sold out to the likes of Comrade Chia Pet?

THANK YOU for posting that picture of Condi in boots with the troops.

The troops love that photo, and I was trying to find it for them last month.

I like Huckabee, but he was out-of-line with his comments in Foreign Affairs. The “bunker mentality” accusation was nonsense.

I’m an evangelical who supports Duncan Hunter. But I refuse to trash the Huckabee supporters. I completely understand why they have chosen him as their candidate. I think they would be more comfortable with Hunter if they knew him better.

“Call him whatever you want, but you will be hard pressed not to call him an intellectual.”

He has a simple BA in religion. Not one single graduate degree. So I’m not very hard pressed to say he’s NOT an intellectual.

haven’t even made my mind up on anyone yet, but one thing is for sure - you guys haven’t talked me out of Huckabee yet and never will using these tactics.

Well said!

One thing I do like about Huckabee is he has fought the Rat machine in AK. that produced Clinton and won.

“If Huckabee can ask “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” what make her presume he can’t also fire a few questions her way.”

Will Huck go racial or misogynist?
