There are many in the party who just know that Huckabee is minister,a good Christian man, that’s all they know and that’s all they need to pull that lever......trust me, the elites want Huck in to take away votes from Sarah so Mitt or Daniels or somebody to their liking can slip into the nomination
but does he mean it
Really, just the terms and not the The "elitism" and "country club attitude"...of the party?
So he is going to endorse her officially, right?...RIGHT?
Some one has been paying attention, you are likely to get in trouble if you keep it up.
He said we got it wrong on slavery, immigration was a chance to get it right. How does that fit?
I’m guessing he’s misapplying the verses in the old testament about treatment of aliens. It does say be polite, not abusive, and helpful, but it doesn’t say to give them the farm and free everything. Nor does it say to permit what amounts to an invasion.
I take it that you are a country club republican.
Actually, in the old days, we called them republican matrons. When I was young, I tried to volunteer in several campaigns. If the campaign was being run by the matrons, I knew two things - they didn't want me around, and their candidate didn't have a chance in the general election.
Happiness is Huckabee leaving the GOP with Rove under one arm and Newt under the other. bu-BYE!
Huckabee also favors expansive government.
I wouldn’t call him a conservative except socially. He’s not unlike GWB in many respects. Except he’s even more vocal about God and social issues and that is at the heart of what the establishment hates about him. If not for that, they’d be fine with the guy. But nothing they hate more then a very vocal Christian.
Why is it everbody seems to forget Huck has a Willie Horten problem. As soon as the ads start on this Huck is dust just like Mitt and MittCare.
Makes sense. Thanks!
I feel the same way about Huckabee. I am not sure why, I could not articulate why, which I guess is unfair to him, I just don’t trust him.
Same with Sean Hannity. I get the feeling both are selling something, but I’m not sure what. With Hannity, I get the feeling he overcompensates, same with Huckabee I guess, the whole band thing, and his family. It doesn’t seem... well... natural I guess. Not that a band or family is not natural, its just that he doesn’t pull it off naturally, like he’s working at it.
Hannity, same thing, like he has to work at his conservatism. He’s all pro-tea party now, but before he was all for the RINOS, and the throwing the football, and the “your a great American” when I have a feeling, him and Bob Beckle sit around, and laugh at how this “good cop bad cop” schtick is keeping them employed.
Again, no proof on either of them, its just a feeling, so I could be wrong, and again, its probably not fair to label them as such without proof, so for that I apologize.
I’ve never seen Huckabee be hard on a democrat ... he says that for Republicans... odd.
I heard that same segment and felt equally compelled to destroy my radio. Rove went over the top on that one. It is one thing to say she may not have been the candidate he would have chosen and let it go at that, no he continued with a litany of dem talking points and cues to destroy her.
Frankly, I hope if she runs into him in the future, she lands one on the POS’s mouth.
Many establishment Republicans are anxious and angry at the thought that the tea party folks won’t “shut up and let them drive,” and so in their apprehension or anger they lash out. So it’s long been. Many establishment Republicans denigrated Robert A Taft and Barry Goldwater and their supporters, as well.
Keep going, Huck. I'm sure you won't be held back by the ire of any cigarette worshiping minority of FReepers.
You make an excellent point. If the GOP should gain control of the senate it will probably be by only one person. So, the great state of Maine and their two senators, Snow and Collins, will be the new power brokers in the senate. Makes my stomach hurt to think about it.
But, that being the case, it's still better for the GOP to have control of the senate agenda and the gavel than the Demapukes...
