Check out post 21. If those aren’t word games going on there, then I guess I am a liar. But I’m not.
And this guy has a history. Anyone can check out his posts. See if I’m right or if I’m right.

For the record, we disagree about that.
I wouldn't exactly callthe thrust of your first paragraph insanely distortive. I think the rest of it is, pretty much. I doubt you are, however. I think you're jumping on the bandwagon of irrationally distoring Huckabee's positions, however, which is a shame.
ANN COULTER: LIBERALS SING ‘HUCKELUJAH’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1944500/posts
“All I want for Christmas is for Christians to listen to what Mike Huckabee says, rather than what the media say about him. The mainstream media keep flogging Huckabee for being a Christian, apparently unaware that this “God” fellow is testing through the roof in focus groups.
Huckabee is a “compassionate conservative” only in the sense that calling him a conservative is being compassionate.
In a widely quoted remark, Huckabee denounced a Republican bill that would merely require proof of citizenship to vote and receive government benefits as “un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life,” according to the Arkansas News Bureau. Now, where have I heard this sort of thing before? Hmmm ... wait, now I remember: It was during the Democratic debates! “

I think Ann is having some trouble seeing the forest for the trees, regarding the GOP presidential candidates.
“In a widely quoted remark, Huckabee denounced a Republican bill that would merely require proof of citizenship to vote and receive government benefits as ‘un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life,’ according to the Arkansas News Bureau.”
That last phrase is key. Those are the words of Doug Thompson of the Arkansas News Bureau. Governor Huckabee didn’t use the words “un-Christian” or “irresponsible.” He did say the bill expressed an un-American attitude, and he said one consequence of the bill was anti-life:
“We’re trying to preserve the life of someone who, when born, will be an American citizen with his first breath. We can spend $900 on pre-natal care when the mother is pregnant. Instead, this bill would have us take a chance and spend $2,000 a day at Children’s hospital if the baby’s born and something has gone wrong.”
For the record, I disagree with Governor Huckabee about this, but I don’t think it proves he supports open borders, and I definitely don’t think it proves he lacks integrity.
By the way, if Ann would read the Free Republic threads about her, she’d have already known that:

Boy, I'm glad we don't have those kind around here.
Ultimate libertarianism necessatates either anarchy, or governance by tribunal, which would constantly have to ejudicate who is doing the more harm to whom, in any relationship (since that is the only llbertarian standard by which government has effect).
Whatever direction, it would get to a point where the power hungry control the rest, oddly enough, except that ultimate libertarianism would make society so complicated that people just wouldn't put up with it.
"This is my highway - you need to pay my toll!"
A mile down the street, "Now this is my highway, pay my toll, too!"
Then, pity the poor mugging victim, who has to shop around for the best private policeman to hire -- not to mention fire fighting by the principle of "caveat emptor."

Bingo. Ann’s a good person. I think she’s in full pro-Romney spin mode, but only because she honestly believes that’s what will be best for America.
I thought the points Ann made were succint (if a bit too biting for ordinary political discourse) and relevant. I'll take it you did not.
Chuckle-bee. One a day keeps you in laughs for life.
I actually have a hard time believing that anyone outside the media thinks this guy is a real viable candidate for the Presidents job. I think he is an apparition, a repository for identity politics and those seeking same.
I’m with Fred, the true conservative.
Not me, I already know, with what most other REAL conservatives want, either Fred Thompson, or Duncan Hunter..... the rest are just Liberal RINOS.
Isn't there ANYONE in this frigging country who knows how to LEAD!?
In your view apparently, we're just not free enough to have, God forbid it, economic liberty. We must, through the use of government, keep consumers from being able to purchase goods, foods, and services that were produced in a foreign country; for our own good, of course. You're probably really pissed off that your favorite candidate is being properly vetted...Huckabee is your guy, right? I mean, you speak the same populist garbage.
Confirmation!
One man can "lead" this country and that man is Fred Dalton Thompson!
Oh yes, like your rational post in #19, for example.
