“I’m sure that someone at FR can always find fault with this candidate and that...”
I am not a Mike Huckabee fan per se, but I think he would make a fine POTUS and is better than 90% of the persons put forward to head the GOP list by the many factions here on FR. I grow sick at all the reckless and moronic distortions/falsehoods spilled against Huckabee on this forum. I strongly suspect that it is just anti-conservative evangelical Christian bigotry (anti “real” Baptist in this case).
I sternly warn you Huckabee bashers here in FR that IF Huckabee runs and you keep this nonsense up....YOU will fracture the party. Because the conservative evangelical Christian base (like myself) will take this as a personal attack on MY values and beliefs. You will alienate us, and we won’t be there to back your pick. I am NOT saying you shouldn’t speak against Huckabee when you have differences, but be factual (and don’t spin/twist them) and rational and don’t resort to inflammatory rhetoric like “Huckster.” Ignore this at the country’s peril. Actually, this is true of any real social conservative. Ridiculous bashing will just cause us to stay home instead of backing a libertarian like Paul...which is the way things are headed.
That said, I have no problems with Cruz or Palin, and could happily vote for either....but don’t bash others to elevate them...it isn’t necessary.
I warn you. Huckelbee is a total disaster see post 41. Huckelbee owns that tragedy and because of so, he’ll never, ever become POTUS! He’s a big government loser.
