Huckabee’s political career is over.

Forget the folksy country preacher act.
You went into show biz.
Now take responsibility for your actions.

” See me, feel me, touch me, heel me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heel me.”

ormer Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Tuesday called some of the criticisms “disgusting”

And I find his clemency for rapists disgusting. In fact, I find him disgusting.

[dforest]

In an odd way, I agree with you. He isn’t a bad guy, he is a nice guy that has made the wrong decisions because he wants everyone to like him.

That is downright dangerous.

[goodwithagun]

How is he conservative?

[qwertypie]

Huckabee is a typical politician who wants zero accountability for his liberal positions. Personally immune from the jeopardy that normal people face from revolving door prisoners, he can’t understand why the uproar.

O’Reilly is the same. He found 7 ways to rationalize the unforgivable last night with his kissy-face interview. Left unstated was the question: why are ANY of these prison psychos EVER let loose under ANY circumstances?

Political attacks 'disgusting'

Hey Mickey - didn't hear you say anything when Sarah was attacked for NOTHING she did! You, however,....it's obvious you can't stand the heat in the political arena, so fade away! You made BAD choices while 'governing' and w/every choice there is a consequence. That's biblical - surely, you know that!

[P-Marlowe]

“If he were a white kid from an upper middle class family he would have gotten a lawyer and some counseling,” Huckabee said. “But because he was a young black kid he got 108 years.”

So the judge, the jury and the prosecuting attorney were all a bunch of red-necked racists and Hucakbee saved this poor black boy from the clutches of the racist Arkansas justice system?

That statement alone should preclude Huckabee from ever running again for any office.

[bigbob]

He may be right but it seems like it’s a no-win situation for him. He’d have been better off to just have left it lie than to try to pick this turd up by the clean end.

[ElPatriota]

...Clemmons was shot and killed Tuesday morning by an officer investigating a stolen car...

Thanks God...GONE. About Huck?... Gone as well... sorry pal.

[Mount Athos]

That’s a fair question, i’ll let someone else more knowledgable answer. I never followed him before seeing his show a few times. I can only say the talks he gave on the show were certainly articulating conservative philosophy and critiques. The educational quality of the show impressed me.
I’m not familiar with his record

[ElPatriota]

Sorry, I meant sending it to ALL.

[rockinqsranch]

Thanks for posting precisely my own sentiments on this matter as well.

Huckabee displays a Leftist trait so brazenly, and that trait is the lack of ability to accept upon oneself the responsibility for screwing up.

Always pointing the finger at someone else, always focused upon finding a means to dodge responsibility for ones actions, decisions, etc. is as Leftist a trait as they come.

Unfortunately there are many like him running around with BIG TENT shaped umbrellas with depictions of Elephants on them, and that has to change stop.

So I guess four dead cops is all politics. Murders, rapes are all politics.

Good point!

He's just seeing how it can hurt him politically and NOT the hurt he caused by his own actions while trying to appear as mrniceguy.

Then his race card was over the top! He reminds me of Carter.

[FrankR]

I watch Huckabee occasionally, but I get the feeling that his whole show is an extra-long political commercial for 2012.

Even listening to him, he seems to be carefully chosing words, more for political expediency than expressing his true political beliefs.

But, there is just something about the man I don't trust. I already said something like that and got attacked for "blasphemy" because Huck is religious...well, so was Jim and Tammie Faye Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Jim Johnson. There have always been people who cloak themselves in the appearance of religion to misdirect others

[Nonstatist]

“If he were a white kid from an upper middle class family he would have gotten a lawyer and some counseling,” Huckabee said. “But because he was a young black kid he got 108 years.”

Stick a fork in Huckabilly. He's done.

[ichabod1]

People around here WILL use something like this to discredit a politician they don’t like. Huck is right about that. It’s just there isn’t any way to make that point without sounding whiny. It’s the same problem Palin has - she has valid complaints but it’s impossible to make them without sounding whiny.

[PallMal]

But because he was a young black kid he got 108 years

This is insulting.

Guess what Huck? The criminal justice system was right when they gave him 108 years, and you were dead wrong in commuting the sentence.

If anything, this shows the absolute lack of judgement on your part, and instead shows you are tied to racialist thinking that led to the murder of 4 police officers("black", "disproportionate sentencing", blah, blah).

We don't need another politician, let alone President of the United States, that thinks this way.

I hope this puts an end to your political career, once and for all.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, other than that he never met a tax & spending increase he didn’t like. And never missed a chance to pander to illegal aliens (on the tax payer dime). He’s an affable character but soft on criminals and liberal programs. We need hard as nails, no nonsense, small government, constitution defending conservatives in office! I like him personally, but Huckabee fails to measure up to the task. Hope he stays in the entertainment field.
