Huckabee has a lot of problems but I am shocked at the level of animosity towards his candidacy around here. Huckabee is a fiscal moderate and yes this is a bad thing. However, many Freepers seem to view this as worse then Giuliani who is a social liberal. Are we really so shallow that we would care more about our taxes then about the lives of millions of babies?

I agree w/you...what's surprising, tho, is that we never saw these kinds of things posted in thread & thread when Huck wasn't perceived as a "threat." (That wasn't true, BTW, of Romney).

So I take that to mean that if he was the level of threat folks now make him out to be, then we'd seen that level of animosity all throughout '07. (But we didn't in FReeper posts).

Conclusion: Basically, it seems that it's not Huck's bad side on the issues that motivated many folks as much as that he threatened their fave candidate's voter turf. Now that's not true of some FReeper's, who have been issuing Huck warnings all throughout '07. (So I'm not talking about those folks). I'm only talking about those that if you review their comments for the past two months, you'll see they went from 0 to 150 MPH just like a snap of their fingers.

Very well said.

That’s a pretty astute observation.

Prior to his DBM-induced ascension to prominence, many were unaware that Huckabee is crazier than an outhouse rat.
