For me to poop on.

I’ve been calling the Border Patrol to pick up illegals for over 20 years, I’m sick of it. Mike’s recent awakening to securing the border doesn’t give me much hope he’ll follow through.
Miguel Huckabee: Candidiate of La Raza, Pimp of Illegal Aliens Everywhere.
If what you say is true, then what I say is even more important: The GOP ... needs to let this faction find a home.
Evangelicals will feel very comfortable in Hunter’s camp. He’s a prolife evangelical CONSERVATIVE rather than, well, a Liberal.
Promises, promises! Personally I would prefer the 'in the minority' be changed to extinct.
I just read some commentary on how one of the pardoned went on to rape and murder a woman in Missouri. Republicans nailed Dukakis for this, and we don’t need to give a Republican, albeit in name only, a pass for the exact same thing.
If you think Romney and his "controversial faith" are getting gentle treatment, you certainly haven't been reading FreeRepublic.
I can dig up the Huckster’s proamnesty quotes on immigration. I posted them last week.
.... Huckster is a big league flipflopper on immigration.
It sounds like you’re saying that the ONLY option for the GOP is to run an Evangelical, each and every time. That sounds REAL “inclusive.”
NOT.
Not a bad idea.
Let him run for the Senate and prove he’s not a liberal at the Federal level.
HUCKABEE Grants Clemency to Killers
Funny song about it - “Clemency”

I have only recently had time to get back to Free Republic and check out discussions about the candidates. (This is my first post in many months.)
At first, I was very interested and supportive of Huckabee. But lately I have found that the way his faith informs his political views is somewhat disappointing.
Members of Free Republic should have recognized by now that of all the candidates running, only one has a record that is truly conservative across-the-board.
He is my first choice now. I hope he can come from behind. Evangelicals need to take a look, because he is everything Huckabee is in that arena and more.
Plus he is conservative on other issues.
Huckabee is right on some of the most important social and moral issues, And I will vote for him against any Democrat.
However, he is now my number three pick after Hunter then Thompson.
Thompson has not had a strong enough record on social / moral issues in my opinion, but he is not running to be a legislator. I doubt he would veto any Republican bills or constitutional amendments that were pro family or pro life.
My choices are Hunter, Thompson, Huckabee, and I might be able to vote for Romney over a Dem. I don’t think I could vote for Gulianni even against Obama or Clinton... but I would at least think about voting. I would probably look for a third-party or write-in candidate in that case.
If Huckabee had not run, Evangelicals would have jumped behind Hunter and he would be a front-runner right now.
It is not too late to support the best candidate.
Thompson /Hunter is a distinct possibility.

One year ago, Huckabee compared America’s response to illegal immigration to slavery by remarking, “One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago... I think, frankly, the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.”
Good idea. Plus, he'd be among intellectual equals in there with Dingy Harry Reid, Teddy the Swimmer, Robert the Kleagle Byrd, and miscellaneous other knaves and poltroons.
I am uninterested in any candidate who isn’t going to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, and encourage the states to abolish all state involvement in edumacation, and encourage the counties to abolish government skrools.
“Well, I went through that, and basically what I came up with from your essay is I need to vote for Huckabee because he can win.”
Hey, the same lame argument they use for McCain and Rudy, why not the Huckster?
Truth is, though, that Huckabee is least qualified and therefore least electable. If talking like John Edwards wins a few downscale votes, what about the upscale votes of fiscal conservatives who will stay home or even vote Dem in opposition to his populist positions? What about conservative like me in shock with his Carteresque and often ignorant statements on foreign policy?
His glibness will only take him so far and he will be far outgunned by an MSM ready to blow him away. For example, that thing about his son torturing and killing a dog. Maybe he shouldnt be judged on what his son did, but I just have to think the Hillary minions would use that incident to maximum effect to make his whole family seem beyond the pale.
