No, you don’t coronate anybody, but you don’t rip a social conservative so hard that you potentially scuttle their chance at beating Hillary or Obama in the general election.
You do when they are not a conservative which Hickabee is not.
I am agree with Romney on one count, since when is telling the truth about one’s record an attack ad?
rush is telling the truth and true conservatives know it. Hickabee will lose a general election since he is a liberal running under an “R”.
Have you been paying attention around here. There's so much peeing in the punchbowl that nobody is going to be left smelling very good. When it does comes down to one, we're all going to have a foul taste in our mouths. Um... so too bad the Huck is tasting a little pee but he's done more than his fair share of tinkling to get his win.
social conservatism isn’t based upon the single issue of abortion. If it was then you might be right about Huckabee. Unfortunately for you and the rest of the Hucksters it isn’t and you aren’t.
He's Pro Life...great so am I BUT he's also:
1. A tax increaser(he even did it for the chil'run)
2. Pro illegal alien
3. Soft on Crime and criminals
4. A typical Arkansas Goveror when it comes to personal ethics
And on top of all he had the audacity to state at a Republican debate that he was running to make the government work!!! He was at the wrong debate, plain and simple.
What do you have to do to be named a true social conservative? Take $40,000 in speaking fees from the leading research firm for embryonic stem-cell research? Or maybe promote the early release of serial rapists because of their sudden discovery of Jesus? Or call for the closing of terrorist detention facilities in order to make Muslims happy? Or possibly calling the “Michael Vicking” by his son of a dog a “mercy killing”? Or calling me un-Christian for not supporting socialized medicine via SCHIP?
