I wonder what quotes I can find of Hunter praising Huckabee...
Funny, I call McCain the Amnesty Queen usually. And Lindsey and Perry the Amnesty princesses. I guess I hate womyn
It’s a typeicla Palin answer. Lots of words, hard to define. Sorry. Until she REJECTS the pathway to citizenship SPECIFICALLY, she’s still an amnesty queen.
Saying me no likee amnesty is MEANINGLESS.
I have some advice. If you don’t want my opinion on something, don’t ask for it next time. You DID ping me to this thread, did you not?
BTW, I found this lovely gem from Hunter about Huckabee:
“I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” Hunter said in a statement. “Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China’s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America’s industrial base."Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee’s candidacy that compels my endorsement," he added"Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well."
And this lovely summary of Michelle Malkin's:
Let’s review:
Duncan Hunter – Keep Guantanamo Bay open
Mike Huckabee – Close GitmoDuncan Hunter – Staunch border security advocate
Mike Huckabee – Open-borders ethno-panderer***
Allah: “Mr. Border Fence is backing a guy who accused opponents of Bush’s immigration plan of nativism? Two days after Fred drops out because he can’t pull enough conservatives to beat John McCain? Dude?”
Byron York: “The endorsement of Huckabee just doesn’t seem to fit, given Hunter’s national-security orientation, concern about China, all that. I thought it seemed so odd that, when I got the email a few minutes ago, I called Hunter’s spokesman to make sure it was right. It’s not huge news – Hunter got all of 1,048 votes in the South Carolina – but a number of conservatives who paid close attention to the race liked Hunter, and they usually weren’t the sort to support Huckabee.”
In light of Huckabee's praise of Obama and criminal-loving revelations, I bet Hunter thinks a bit different now, wouldn't you think?
Nonetheless, I have to go with what he said in the past no matter how many times he's clarified himself.
Any man who thinks Huckabee is a man of character is more than a little confused.
That’s why I like you Rin. LOL. That was alot of work for that morsel.
We have the president of Mexico complaining about the Arizona law and the President of the USA publicly agreeing with him – a foreigner! And yet we have a GOP politician – Sarah Palin - who strongly supports and defends the Arizona law and exposes Obama's double talk and hypocrisy, and points out that Obama and the Federal Government haven't done their job and have failed in their responsibility to enforce the immigration laws. There is no doubt that Obama and company are clearly for amnesty, and yet few seem interested in that and are fixated on Palin's so-called deficiencies on this issue.
I'm glad Sarah made this point very clear:
Every border State should have Arizona Law. Amnesty didn’t help during the Reagan Administration . Amnesty doesn’t work.
There should be no doubt she is against amnesty.
Btw, Sarah sounds very good on that video – strong, knowledgeable, and confident.
McCain: “I don’t support amnesty”
BUSH: “This bill does not provide amnesty”
Lindsey: “There is no amnesty in this bill”
Palin: “I support McCain’s positions on immigration”
Now you figger it out.
Not really. Lots of web articles that didn’t understand that endorsement- all spot on.
She was great.
Well said. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
5-19-2010: PALIN:
“Well, that amnesty didn’t work in the past, even under our beloved Ronald Reagan, providing amnesty for about 2 million illegal immigrants. That didn’t stop the problem, in fact I think it helped perpetuate the problem. And now we’re up to 11, 13, 16 million people who are here illegally. Let’s learn from history’s lessons and realize that amnesty doesn’t work. And we go from there. I think that talk about amnesty, talk about what needs to happen with those who are here illegally, it’s almost used as a diversion so we don’t have to talk about what are the tools that are needed to secure the border. We take care of the porous borders first, and then we can deal with the other issues...”

Thank you, JP!
OK. Just to set you straight:
It is you who are acting like Hunter. IE: Huckabee had a piss poor record on illegals as Gov.
Huckabee realized during the campaign that his sh*t would not fly on that subject.
He became, via the ever useful flip flop, the guy in the campaign with the Toughest sounding-no amnesty-deport the bastards position, lifting a large part of it from a Nat. Review writer named Kirkorkian. You had 120 days to get out or we would start tossing you over the fence, for all intents and purposes. It was a 180 pivot.
And just like Palin, Huck did not treat it as a 180, but part of his fictional get tough on illegals postions he had all along.
I didn’t believe Huckabee, but Hunter did. Maybe he’s sincerely a ‘deport them’ guy now, I don’t know. But I not about to start trusting him unless he addresses his past statements and positions and explains his evolution in thinking in more detail than just getting it via osmosis from Hunter being in the room.
Same with Palin. Until she fesses up about her pathway to citizenship crapola and explains her evolution in thinking, I refuse to give her a pass. Huck and Palin - two peas in a pod. But believed by Hunter and you, respectively, but not by me.
Thank you, Clyde5445, I’ll try to look at it tomorrow...internet interruptions...electric storm.
Good night.
