It was Rudy Giuliani who launched Huckabee in Iowa.

Carl Cameron reported that on Fox News about 2 months ago. Giuliani did so to stop Romney’s early state momentum and strategy.

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.

Something you should listen to...but probably will not do.

Then, pity the poor mugging victim, who has to shop around for the best private policeman to hire...

One typically will not get mugged when wearing a holster with a loaded, semi-automatic Desert Eagle in in. Food for thought.

OK, so I’m confused. How could so many in this thread attack Huckabee (no, I’m NOT a supporter of his; still checking them all out...) for his support of the Fair Tax/NRST? What on earth is “left wing” or “liberal” about that????

In your view apparently, we're just not free enough to have, God forbid it, economic liberty.

you are trying to enlighten a seriously ignorant person. I read his home page too. He is like many I have encountered -- driven by one thing ENVY. People who are insanely jealous of true achievers who made great wealth through the wonderful capitalist system, become obsessed with using government to "level the playing field." Those who are envious in many ways are evil to the core. They try to rationalize any method that would punish those who make a dollar more than they. The fool, with whom you are trying to enlighten is a lost cause. He and his lot must be defeated; reasoning with them is impossible.

“...if you close your eyes, you would think a Democrat was speaking.”

When you open your eyes, you know a Democrat is speaking. Is there a single regular Freeper, not counting Huckster plants, that still supports this fraud.

Running against conservatism is blasting the entire party.

You haven’t been paying attention then. Christian maybe, honest, not for a minute. I mean really, you could only make such an absurd statement if you are blissfully unaware of Huckabee’s “Flip flops” on immigration, Cuba, Foreign policy etc. The man is crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

I agree with you on Huckabee, but your Article 8 is vague and simplistic.

From the start, I had a bad feeling about this guy. And as time goes on, that is being confirmed.

There was the thing with his son, who hung a dog from a tree, slit its throat and stoned it to death... Then Huckabee used his power to pressure the state police to not cooperate with an investigation.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/78241

Huckabee's morbid remark that other candidates should consider slitting their wrists with razor blades in a tub of warm water.
http://www2.arkansasonline.com/news/2007/oct/10/huckabee-has-used-razor-blades-line/

Lying about the cross in his ad being intentional. (There's nothing wrong for him to have a cross in the ad. But just be up front about it, instead of denying it)

And the latest- more joking about killing... Yes, he was joking, but still this is creepy imo, for someone who puts himself forward as the 'Christian' candidate.

I can only assume it’s because of how many times he’s raised taxes, thus meaning that any promise he makes to initiate such a tax is nothing more than mere rhetoric.

I don’t understand why people even consider Huckabee to be a social conservative. He’s supposedly pro-life, but he’s taken money from one of the largest embryonic stem cell companies on the planet. He’s supposedly anti-gay marriage, but says there’s “probably” a right to sodomy in the Constitution. That leaves the Second Amendment, where, during his big “I heart guns” photo op he joked about shooting his opponents. Not helpful in promoting gun ownership.

Why are socons falling for this faker?

Recall that imposter Rep.Huffington (R-CA) and his wife Ariana had successfully penetrated the party. He, a homosexual and she a Greek communist.

His Senate race was managed by Ed Rollins, who now works for Huckabee...

The only question I have about Huckabee at this point is what won’t he say in the attempt to win the nomination?

And that folks, is why I won’t support him.

First Rush, now the whole GOP.

Someone get this guy a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People". I get the feeling he needs a bit of brushing up on that.
