Same link as my first one.
NRO, the Corner.
Show me someone who has shown a greater ability than Mike Huckabee to communicate, convince, and draw Americans to “the better angels of their nature.”
Thats ridiculous.
That makes about as much sense as it would if someone came out demanding proof from a Dr. that Mitt Romney doesn’t dye his hair.
You mean like when he asked whether the Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers? That statement was a cheap shot aimed at exciting religious bigotry. After pulling that stunt, he lost any credibility he had to talk about drawing Americans to "the better angels of their nature." His little stunt with the ad that he commissioned, then decided not to run, then showed to the press so that the ad would get full exposure, and then couldn't pull in time because some stations already had the ad slotted is another example of his failure on the "better angels" measure.
Mike Huckabee wants to play Christian charity with the taxpayers money in giving scholarships to illegal aliens after we've already given them K-12 schooling for free. Maybe you think that kind of policy represents "better angels," but I see that kind of policy as typical entitlement liberalism. The liberals also used to prattle about "better angels" as they insisted that we needed to fund all kinds of social programs.
Again, Mike Huckabee might be a good pastor and a good enough governor for Arkansas. He doesn't have the right stuff to be president regardless of whether he's had bariatric surgery.
Bill
I would agree if Romney had wrote a book about how to turn hair black naturally, had a policy called Hirsute Mass, in which he chastised Bay Staters for not doing enough to have luxurient hair growth, made it part of his Presidential resume, had roots showing, and was getting consulting fees from Clairol.
Really? Do you know this?
I haven't heard that it ran on a single Iowa station. It was not shown in any decent, reproduceable fashion in the press conference either, from what I've seen and heard.
For whatever it is worth once upon a time i lost 80 lbs in about six months all at Diet Center
Happy New Year!
“His health care policy, for heaven’s sake, is based on having all of us lose weight and get exercise so we don’t need insurance or medicine. If he had the surgery, his preaching is based on a deep deception about the road to health. Not so good.”
as we start out on a new year we all have our resoulutions can explain this quote to me, meaning the part about the deep deception.
At least Huck’s daughter looks like him and not uncle Web.

Exactly. A simple release of medical records showing he still has a normal gut and stomach will lay this to rest.
Failure to do so must, on the other hand, be seen as part of a coverup.
I don’t mind if he had the procedure, but if he did, he lies about it, and then has the nerve to write “healthy living for me and thee” books, the man is worse than a mere liar.
wow...I hate to say this, but I wouldn’t want that family as the face of America. Sorry.
“Given the rate of adult and childhood obesity in this country, they already are the face of America.”
Speak for your own family!
laproscopic surgery simply means it is done by putting trocars through 4 small incisions to do the work inside instead of gutting you like a fish... but it's STILL bariatric surgery if he he had a gastric band put in or gastric bypass done
Unfortunately, you are right. I live in a town where, I’d say 70% of the people are overweight. It’s incredible to me.
Slime, what an idiot
