Huckabee taking the day off to make negative ads. The only thing worse than Huckabee is a negative Huckabee.
A president doesn’t HAVE to decree abortion illegal. Murder is already decreed illegal.
Will you pardon your son if elected President?
This I agree with! I wish other candidates would take the same position.
Gee, almost seems like a bias...
Nah, couldn't be.
I did watch.
The more of Huck I see, the less I like. The “bunker mentality” quip was a stupid blunder and to have him defend it is even dumber.
Bottom line: Why would I settle for a Huck when there are true conservatives to choose from?!
Huckabee is dishonest and calculating in his statements. He has nothing to offer but higher taxes, release of violent criminals and huge government subsidy programs for illegal aliens. Yet he disguises his intentions behind slick responses and religious platitudes. He is so phony he makes me sick.
It is good to see Huckabee and Mitt fighting. The truth is coming out on both of the fiscal liberals. I do believe that fees are better than taxes because they are collected for a specific purpose where taxes are usually a grab bag to be spent on whatever the government wishes. Both Mitt and Huckabee would be horrible Presidents for anyone who wishes for straight talk and clear leadership. Mitt’s embarrassing rambling on about whether or not he marched with Martin Luther King and Hucks playing fast and loose with his seminary degree are just a prime indicator that they are more of the same. They talk like bureaucrats and make excuses like bureaucrats and don’t seem to see any limits to the role of government like bureaucrats. I’m not voting for those who raise their hands for Al Gore, Universal Health Care, government with out end, and can’t seem to stand up for the US without apologizing.
They both may be good men but they most certainly would be very painful embarrassments as President. I’m ready for a leader who is inspiring not because of his grand promises but because of the strength of his character and his ability to lead without compromising his principles or remaking himself in Washington DCs image. We need a President who knows who he is and doesn’t want the job so badly that he will do or say anything to win it.
Fred Thompson is that man. The governor from Arkansas and the Governor from Massachusetts can go back to doing what they did best which is growing government. The best leaders this country has ever had have not been the career politicians seeking the Presidency as if rabid after power and lulled to sleep by the sound of their own voice.
It has been men like George Washington, humble strong men like Abraham Lincoln and men of courage like Ronald Reagan who would not temper his faith in America for the sake of pleasing internationalist bureaucrats at home and abroad.
I'm curious. What would happen in the US if one of the candidates was assasinated a couple of weeks before the general election? Would the Constitution permit a delay?
The more he talks, the more he came across as a classless phony.
FRed was great today. He's a mature adult that can answer a question straight.
No, but my understanding is that they are trying to operate under a parliamentary system.
I disagree, I believe his talk about abortion and his state tax record were very clear. But I also think that Mitt is acting like a politician.
Problem is that Huck like the other three rinos is lying, this is directly opposite of his former position.
Plus, he aligned with McCain and the Gang on the McCain-Feingold fiasco and he aligned with a similar group of RINOs on a global warming climate change bill. He has a very centrist record in the senate that turned me off from Day One and makes me question his commitment to his current positions. Mostly his close relationship with McCain - that was the biggest negative, I guess.
He also has a checkered past on illegals:
Some votes are likely to draw scrutiny, particularly a series of votes in the 1990s against cracking down on illegal aliens. Those include a 1995 vote against limiting services other than emergency care and public education to illegal aliens - he was one of just six senators to oppose that proposal - and a 1996 vote against creating an employer verification system to help businesses filter out illegal aliens who apply for jobs....
But on immigration, Mr. Thompson had several votes where he bucked the pack - and seemed to favor illegal aliens.
The most stark example was his 1995 vote on the welfare overhaul, when he voted to preserve illegal aliens' ability to receive federal benefits. He was one of just six senators to vote that way....

Yeah, see post #17. That's going around a lot. It seems nobody is immune.
Obama and the Huckster got kid gloves treatment from Russert compared to Ron Paul who was given the third degree.
“He argued that being with their parents is more important than what country they live in.”
You replied: “This I agree with! I wish other candidates would take the same position.”
Just like Elian?
