Challenging the party’s power axis hardly constitutes blasting the entire party, and Hewitt’s assertion that the party doesn’t need changing—immediately followed by a long list of ways it needs to change—is ridiculous.
If Huckabee wants to be a Washington/Lincoln/Roosevelt Republican, GOD BLESS HIM!!
Here come the word games.

I believe Governor Huckabee is an honest Christian man.
I didn’t think anyone with an R next to their name could get below Rudy on my list, but Huck is working real hard at it.
“We are a free nation.”
Once the government will insert itself in every aspect of your life — as Huckabee wants — we will cease to be a free nation.
Recommend you read this:
BILL OF NO RIGHTS.
We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bedwetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of Non Rights.
ARTICLE I — You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any form of wealth.
More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II — You do not have the right to never be offended.
This country is based on freedom, and that means the freedom for everyone, not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III — You do not have the right to be free from harm.
If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful. Do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV — You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generations of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V — You do not have the right to free health care.
That would be nice but, from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in government run health care.
ARTICLE VI — You do not have the right to physically harm other people.
If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII — You do not have the right to the possessions of others.
If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII — You don’t have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience.
We hate oppressive governments and won’t lift a finger to stop you from going to fight, if you’d like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX — You don’t have the right to a job.
All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE X — You do not have the right to happiness.
Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness — which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

Huckabee is Jimmy Carter in Republican’s clothing.
Does he now? He wants to give illegals US citizenship, he wants to attack the “root causes” of terrorism (allegedly, poverty, in oil-rich nations) rather than the terrorists. He has freed rapists and murderers who have gone on to rape and murder again. Christ forgave the criminal who was crucified next to him....but he didn’t set him free, did he?
Huck is Dem...a rare Dem that can quote scripture.
Huckabee is not a democrat and he’s not a RINO.
Huckabee is... THE MOTHER of ALL RINO’s
Please don't ping me again, unless you have something pertinent to discuss rationally.

I believe the right to life and the sanctity of traditional marriage are also true conservative principles.
Look at what the man is campaigning about and commits to.
Insane distortion of a candidate’s positions is hardly an argument.
“Please don’t ping me again, unless you have something pertinent to discuss rationally”
I did not “ping” you — pinging is when I call your attention to a post or thread, in which you are not participating.
I RESPONDED to your post.
I understand it’s common curtesy to post to the person, whose post one is responding to or quoting, but since you apparently aren’t interested in knowing when I respond to your post, I will just refute your posts happily, without notifying you, PER YOUR REQUEST.
Huckabee’s record and expressed intent IS WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION, and government control of the people — that IS socialism.
Hardly.
Huckabee’s record and expressed intent IS WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION, and government control of the people — that IS socialism.
No and somewhat yes. (No, about Huckabee.) That kind of criticism marginalizes onself.
He may be honest but he wants to spend MY MONEY to reward
the illegal aliens and commuted felons. No Thanks! Huckabee
is an economic clown. He does not understand economics, period.
Carter was also an honest christian man. And I don’t want another Carter.
Carter was an economic disaster. We are not electing a preacher in chief, we are electing a PRESIDENT. Huckabee is no presidential material.
It’s clear from your homepage that you’re a lunatic and NOT a conservative that the party should be aligning its platform towards.
Go to church if you want people living according to your God’s Will. Don’t use the force of government to steal money from others or to criticize capitalism or people who want the government REDUCED in power.
How pathetic that you call libertarianism a totalitarian ideology when the definition of totalitarianism necessitates GOVERNMENT having total power and control of a society.
If you’re representative of the typical Huckabee voter, the best thing we can do is make a break with people like you.
Which part of my position is insane to you, sir?

If I’m not playing word games, then you’re lying.
And Washington, Linclon, and T. Roosevelt.
The United States government is the government of all that is the United States of America. Our governance is performed by the people for the people.
Robber barons, Standard Oil, AT&T, Microsoft, Shell Oil, and China, Inc. are not free from government as they deal with and affect America and Americans. They do not have a status above the People and our government.
Neither do Mexico's illegals
Neither do globalist corporate raiders.
