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.

Huckabee was always a conservative except for his support for illegal amnesty.
He’s pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, pro-fiscal responsibility.
He blew it big with his decision to out himself on amnesty.
I think he’s changed, but the damage is done.
You’re full of class.
“”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.”
I agree with Huckabee. I was driving from Midland to Dallas the day after the primary and was listening to XM. I heard Rove on, I believe Hannity, and the guy would absolutely not shut his pie hole. He kept on and on about how Odonnell was not this and was not that. And how now the GOP would not gain control of the senate. He absolutely would not shut up. I felt like pulling my pistol out of my console and shooting my radio. There is no doubt in my mind that Rove cost O’Donnell points by his negative rants which went on for days. Instead, he could have been a team player and pitched in to help her with his expertise (and funds)and thereby put her over the top.
Unfortunately there are some @sswipes who will be pushing Romney on here again.
I take that as a compliment coming from a Romneybot
That is the way I see it too.
Indeed they do apply to her. She is a mitten kitten.
“Say what you want about Huckabee...”
I always do. LOL
I don’t care what that squirrel eating moron says, I don’t ever want anything to do with him.
WTF?!?!? You have a link to the original article that appears in?
If you can’t be respectful to me in your posts (like I have to you), then don’t bother wasting your time posting to me. If you want to argue with someone just to argue, do that with your family members, not me.
I’ll post to anyone I want to. If you can’t handle it then move on out.
EXCUSE, just an EXCUSE.
Oh dear! You’re Mittarded? Such a shame.
There is one person right now on this thread who would jump at pushing Romney! LOL!
Excuse? That makes no sense. But then again I would not expect sense from someone who supports Mitt Romney.
Huckabee?
I don’t trust him.
I fear any potential relevancy he may demonstrate.
He’s a mole.

They are all trying to jump to the grass roots side and then claim they were there all along. Keep one eye open all the time on them.
