Huckabee is lame on illegal immigrants. Scholarships to Illegals?
Huckabee INCREASED Arkansas state budget from $6B to $16B as governor. Big Spender?
Huckabee paroled 1000+ CONVICTED CRIMINALS! Soft on crime?
Huckabee called Bush’s foreign policy a mistake? How about no Al Qaeda attacks for 7 years?

Hee Haw!

Geez, so this is what the elites think of Huckabee supporters.

You got that right. If you're a Huckabee supporter then I think you're a friggin' moron. You may be a very well-meaning and pious moron and I honor your religious convictions but we're electing a President here, not a Preacher-in-Chief.

Does that make me an elite? Don't think so, unless you define "elite" as anyone who is not buying Hucksterism.

It means when Huckabee fails his voters just might stay home and let you haters kiss Hillary on the lips.

Rule 1. These guys don’t take competitors as running mates. They take someone whose not been in the spotlight to hopefully mine gold, not til manure. It’ll be a party choice and it’ll probably be Rick Perry.

Our religious convictions make us pro life and pro family. Don’t get upset at us because the republican party pushed two pro abortion pro gay liberals down our throats and told us we had to choose one of them. The Huckaboom is payback for Rudy McRomney.

If Fred can pull off an upset in Iowa I’d be happy but I don’t see it happening.

Once again I note that you fail to even define what Huckabee was saying in his comment. Instead you raise the spectre of Hillary as some kind of answer. Why is it so hard for Huckabee's defenders to defend Huckabee's positions? I suspect it's because they are just as confused as Huckabee is about his actual positions, but they can't admit it.

Huckabee's policy positions read like a collection of folksy maxims strung together looking for a single coherent thought.

Donna, my apologies. I got my threads mixed up and attribute your comment to a comment from another thread. My apologies for the confusion.

Fred Thompson’s campaign just announced he’s received the endorsement of one of Iowa’s leading newspapers, the Ottumwa Courier.

Thanks for the news Leni. I’m running rather hard these days, getting ready for a show we are doing in a couple of weeks.

I appreciate the pings that help me keep a bit updated.

GO FRED!!

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

Who would stand to benefit from a Huckabee decline?

America?
