Huckabee blasts Rove, 'elitist' GOP establishment
Politico ^ | 10-24-10

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today broadened the assault on the Republican Party establishment — and former Bush adviser Karl Rove in particular — levied recently by Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, blasting the "elitism" and "country club attitude exhibited by Rove and others who dismissed Delaware Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell.

"I was very disappointed in some, particularly Karl and others, who were so dismissive of Christine O'Donnell," Huckabee told Aaron Klein on the latter's WABC radio show Sunday.

"Unfortunately, there is an elitism within the Republican establishment," Huckabee told Klein. "And it's one of the reasons the Republicans have not been able to solidify not only the tea party movement but solidify conservatives across America."

"It's about, again, to be blunt, the kind of country club attitude that we're not sure there are certain people we really want as members of the club and we're not going to vote them in. And we don't mind showing up to events to put up signs and making phone calls and going door to door making those pesky little trips that we don't like to do, but we really don't want them dining with us in the main dining room," he said.

I’m the same person who got annoyed at Beck for having and laughing openly at vulgar “humor” on his show a month or two ago — and today on Huckabee the word “suck” was a choice for one of his “quiz” questions. The inclusion of this was, I guess, supposed to be modern and funny. Another turn off. I’m disgusted with just about all current alleged conservatives’ and potential candidates’ sloppy standards... sinking with the times we live in.

....not to mention the sleezy looking “Obamagirl” up there on stage.

Huckabee is a phony.
