I think you meant the Immature choice for President.
Or maybe the Half-Baked choice for President
Or maybe even the RHINO choice for President
shoot, maybe even the Christian Socialist choice for President
Huck's pro-life position keeps the kittens at bay. I don't see all that many Queegsters here though.
(Do yourself a favor and set aside the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham. Spend some time doing the research for yourself at Huckabee’s website and watch video of Huckabee on sites like youtube answering the accusations directly.)
I do respect Rush, Laura, and other pundits you are telling us to dismiss. They have a brand and reputation to protect, and therefore rarely take a huge position on something without doing a lot of due diligence.
Huckabee is socially conservative (which I like), but wants to use the government as a tool to advance his preferences (I don’t like that - we already have a “compassionate conservative” in the White House, and we saw what happened to spending). On foreign policy, he’s a dove (an ignorant one at that), on free trade he’s a dove, and on immigration he’s a Democrat. Beside what the conservative pundits have been saying about him, I’ll give him credit for not trying to pass himself for something he isn’t. He did not respond to Fred Thompson’s criticism of his record, and his own chief advisor said that the Reagan coalition is dead. I’m sorry, but we need all three legs of that coalition to win. If he wins the Presidency anyway, it would be a disaster to the Republican party, and to Christians (his failures would discredit us).
I think the only people who could unite the Reagan coalition are Fred Thomson and Duncan Hunter. I don’t think Duncan has a prayer, so I hope Fred starts doing better. Make no mistake, evangelicals are a huge part of the Reagan coalition, and I wouldn’t be voting in the primaries for anyone who turns them off. However, I wouldn’t vote for someone who doesn’t believe in supply-side economics, as it’s proved that it’s the only sort of economics that actually works and helps provide prosperity.
That’s just sickening about the dog. I’m no PETA person, but I get very angry at gratuitous cruelty to animals. Only a twisted mind could do something like that. Yes, his family deserves the same scrutiny that the others get.
Howdy, howdy G_L!!! I didn’t see his expression, both my husband and I cheered at the comment, but the TV is behind me. Sigh.......
All is well here, hope all is well with you :)
I do respect Rush, Laura, and other pundits you are telling us to dismiss.
***I never mentioned Rush nor Laura in my post. Maybe you’re intending to respond to someone else?
Hucksters need to get behind Thompson or vote SHRILLARY!
Wow, where’s the “FLAME ON!” graphic when you need it?
Very insightful open letter from an Arkansas conservative on 7 reasons why he can’t support Mike Huckabee:

HILARIOUS video parody of Huck’s clemencies:

My dream candidate is Duncan Hunter, but it’s clear that that is indeed a dream. So I support Fred, and will never never vote for Huckabee or McCain.
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind Huck's joining forces with Al Gore's anti-human Stalinist global warming cult?
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind his demagoguery of CEO salaries?
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind calling such CEOs "greedy" when he doesn't even know them?
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind his call for a nationwide ban on smoking in privately-owned businesses?
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind his calling US foreign policy "arrogant"?
What are the "mitigating circumstances" behind calling for us to use the "golden rule" so that dictators and terrorists will decide they like us?
Sorry, but the comparison with Carter isn't all that far off. I think Huckabee is prone to the same weaknesses in judgment that Carter was. The fact that he's been buddying up with McCain just serves to further reinforce my view. No thanks.
>>Yep, isn’t there a comparison made that he pardoned more criminals than the combined totals of neighboring states?
YES, Huckabee issued more commutations and pardons than ALL OF HIS SIX NEIGHBORING STATES COMBINED...and more than his three predecessors combined.

Facts are not Huckabee’s friend when it comes to this issue.

No more 'Big Government' Republicans, thank you.
Huckabee is no "Evangelical". He is a Jimmy Carter, "Liberation Theology"-style Christian. He has called those who oppose illlegal immigration racists. He believes in nanny state Federal control of the people without the States having a say. He is even hiring homosexual Republican activists to advise his campaign. He and his wife are liars and charlatans and phonies, who cite Jesus in every sentence but are unworthy of his example, as they practice deceit and immorality masquerading as "public service". I feel sorry for the simpletons who are taken in by this false prophet. For they are truly lost.
