Because the idea is to destroy the Republican Party by exploiting Christian fundamentalists. The Clintons are (perhaps) funding him. Bill and Mike are chums.

Amen. Amazing more people haven't figured this out.

Rollins also worked for Ross Perot and Christie Todd Whitman before working for the Huckster.

We have friends who are Baptist and are voting for him just becasue he’s Baptist. I asked them “have you looked at his position on the issues”? silence
Then I tried to point out the hypocracy of their stance on Mormons who would vote for Romeny for the same reason. continued silence

They’re still supporting Huck because he’s one of them.

If I had to base my vote on someone who shares my religion, I’d be out of luck, not a single Episcopalian is running.
Before someone says McCain, he has left the Episcopal church and attends a Baptist church although he has not been baptized there, according to an interview he did with Beliefnet.

I knew about Perot—damn, ever since he worked on Reagan’s 1984 campaign he’s been working for every RINO/GOP subverter he can pander to, hasn’t he?

It appears afte I looked further that there’s some controversy over McCain’s Baptist comments.

Is Thompson attacking him at all? They say that Huckabees’ rise has been at Thompson’s expense. If he doesn’t go on the attack then he’s probably not smart enough to be Pres. anyways.

I think Ann is having some trouble seeing the forest for the trees, regarding the GOP presidential candidates.

She see's things just fine. We elect one 'tree', not the forest. Duncan Hunter is her choice, and the only one in the race sound on all the issues.

Geez, the point here in primary season is to pick one tree out of the forest.

If one wants to determine the position of the GOP, one must only listen to Hugh Hewitt.

He is the leading water carrier for the GOP (not to be confused with conservativism.)

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.

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

Looks like you're buying the "Huckabee is a Socialist" nonsense

Don't know if the Huckster is a socialist, but you certainly sound like one.

As socialist as Theodore Roosevelt.

I've been thinking about that myself lately. Look at what happened with Dean/Lurch in '04.

The difference in this case, is if Hunter ever got that bump to the top, he has the credentials to stay there, and shred Hobombary in the main.

So would Fred, IMO, but I think Hunter might be a stronger president overall.

That’s why I support Hunter. I would vote for Thompson, but Hunter would be a “hands down” better president.

I want you to think about something.....

The alphabets being the only game in town for television. No Internet. The MSM being the only newspaper publishers. Now, the Repubs put this base of candidates up. Who would the MSM be backing in then Republican primary? At least we can get the truth out there now. It’s harder, but we can.

“No, Mr. Hewitt.
America (and the GOP) really do need to stop pandering to multi-national and globalizt economic manipulators.

We are not a “capitalist” nation, per se. We are a free nation. Domination of Americans by those who use economic power in order to create artificially manipulated economies slanted in their favor is akin to fascism — and when that is supportted by government, it actually is the economic definition of fascism.

Our “originalist” America is a healthily nationalist nation, where government governs taxing and tariffs, and trade, to assure that it is in America’s interest.

Wholistic benefits of globalism are a lie. Just look at the economic bring-down we’ve been suffering for transplanting manufacturing to other nations and to flooding America with illegal aliens.

Or, do you just call that “employee productivity” along with the crooks?”

The economy is booming.

“Neither do Mexico’s illegals”

How do you feel about illegal aliens paying in-state tuition?

“I think you’re jumping on the bandwagon of irrationally distoring Huckabee’s positions, however, which is a shame.”

I agree with you that it is a shame to distort the Huck’s positions.

Many of his undistorted positions are repulsive to Americans.
