I need to run some errands and will be away from my PC for a while. In my absence feel free to continue your barely-coherent ranting at all things associated with Rush.

A pre-9/11 Presidential candidate

Who would have thought that we could see
A prez as weak as Huckabee?
Another Clinton, who when pressed,
Will not defend the brave, free West.
“Fools rush in,” it’s often said.
But wimpy men can make us dead.

“The magician plays the game of keeping your focus over here on this hand while he’s doing something with the other one,” said Huckabee. “And I think people understand that slight of hand is not why you elect a president.”

A journalist jumped in and said Huckabee just accused Romney of being a magician.

“No I didn’t,” said Huckabee to a group of laughing gaggle. “There you go again, you guys are always putting words in my mouth. I’m going to load this thing up right here,” he said looking down at his gun.

Seem’s to me the ole Huckster was talking about himself.

Huckabee's poll numbers are being driven by one thing and one thing only: he's the most dogmatic abortion opponent in the race (since Brownback's departure), and there is a sizable faction of the base for whom abortion is the only issue they care about, all other issues be damned.

But his record in Arkansas proves that the Huckster is NO CONSERVATIVE.

Anyone who has a record of raising taxes, then turns around and tries to whitewash his record by pretending to be a Fair Tax supporter is not conservative.

Anyone who uses class-warfare rhetoric to bash their political enemies (eg. 'Club for Greed') is not conservative.

Anyone who makes political hay out of the so-called 'CEO-to-line-worker pay disparity' is not conservative.

Anyone who supports the nanny state (eg. nationalizing state smoking regulations) is not conservative.

Anyone who accuses the current Republican administration of not being diplomatic enough with Iran (eg. the 'bunker mentality' comment), while we are engaged in a global war against Islamonazi terrorists is not conservative.

Anyone who issues twice as many pardons and commutations to criminals (some of whom have gone out and committed violent crimes after their release) as all 3 previous Arkansas governors combined (one of whom was Bill Clinton) is not conservative.

Please, one-issue (abortion) voters, wake up. The Huckster needs to be taken down now, in the primaries, before he can inflict lasting damage to the Republican Party, the conservative movement, and (by ensuring a 'Rat victory in November) America.

Is Huckabee ready to be President? IMO, hes out of his league. But at least he’s embraced Jesus, God Bless Him.

“My wife and I are both Huck fans. I love how he relates with normal people.”

How are you defining ‘normal’? Those who refuse to look at his record? Huckabee is a charlatan.

Why must every legitimate question be met with personal attacks?

Because Huckabee is running an identity campaign: vote for what he is, not for what he's done. If you're running an identity campaign, then every question is a personal attack.

God forbid that Huckabee had a cross in the back ground of a CHRISTmas ad. LOL. Never forget that it is us Christians who keep the Republican party afloat. It is us “Right Wing Christian Nut-Jobs” that man phones, knock on doors and hand out issue cards in our Sunday services. What silly reason not to vote for a guy that has a bookshelve in the background that may or may not be a subliminal reference to Christ’s cross in the meaning of a CHRISTmas ad. Plain childish.

One- he (Huckabee) is honest. Honesty in the bedroom/ marriage is the same honesty you have as a leader. If you sell out your life long partner the way Clinton, Guiliani, etc. did, then why wouldn't you sellout to big money?

Two- Huckabee has not switched positions on anything. Their is a difference between getting tougher on a position and totally Flip Flopping like Flip Romney.

But if your point is valid, why didn’t Huckabee say that? Instead, he went on attack. He belittled the point by talking about playing the record backwards. If your point is an intellectually honest point just say, yeah that was clever how they worked that symbol of the Christian holiday in there at a time when we like to remember it? But he didn’t explain his point. He grew defensive, played the victim and derided because all it represents is identity politics. It would be the same if Obama were to say, vote for me, I’m African American on MLK Day or Hillary says vote for me I’m a woman on any day? That’s what I mean about identity politics.

The simple raw and naked truth is, an ex-preacher and ex-governor of Arkansas (near bottom in education & earnings in the 50 states) who let spending jump from 6 Billion to 16 Billion per year as governor, just does not have what it takes to reign in the multi-TRILLION dollar federal spending on 30,000 different items in the federal budget. Only a highly successful executive of a substantial private enterprise who has to reign in every wasteful item in his company in order to survive in the dog eat dog real world of competition, has the potential to be effective. In the meanwhile Mr Huckabee can continue throwing around country humor and hope the unsophisticates will fall for his down to earth charm, never mind his total lack of geopolitical knowledge.

Of course the liberal media is encouraging this modern day Elmer Gantry like they did to John McCain of pre-nomination 2000, salivating at the opportunity to skewer him should he become the nominee. They are compiling a long list as we speak. God save the republicans if Huckabee is the nominee.

Amamzing isn't it. A lot of Freepers made more of a fuss about the commercial than the MSM did.

Things that make you go hmmmm.

Bud Light presents:

"REAL MEN OF GENIUS"

...(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him

...(skim milk with three sweet and lows)

Sitting in a cubicle at campaign headquarters you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Salon, CNN and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR

...(oooh, here's one from DU!)

Armed with nothing but talking points from Hucks' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat

...(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)

When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, Jimmy Carter foreign policy appeaser, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website

...(copy, paste, copy, paste)

Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!

...(Highly overrated)

All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.

...(Praise the Lord!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

Bud Light beer. Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.

Post #1: Oh my, a person going hunting and Ms. Lin sees all type of evil.

Post #2: What a cheesy puff piece by SeeBS

Seems we have a difference of opinion here...

Personally, I think Post #1 reflects a certain paranoia while Post #2 represents a more realistic assessment of the journalistic product.
