Huckabee is easily dispatched. He is not a conservative. Anyone suggesting that remains blinded by those wonderful crosses they saw dancing across their TV screen in last year's Huckabee campaign ads. Fiscally, he's a populist, at best. And he actually has quite a liberal streak. Distributing income is just as much a desire with Huckabee as it is with the Left. He simply wants to use those tax dollars in a different way. On top of that, he's a Big Government guy. Anyone who thinks that dictating menus and diets has anything to do with conservatism has no idea what it is really about. That, or as I suggested, they are simply being blinded by the Light, as it were.

He’s not Mitt Romney...
He strikes me as a TV preacher. Saying and doing whatever it takes to keep the collection plate full while the tent is still pitched.
Where are the real leaders?
I can’t stand Huckabee. Big amnesty open borders guy.
The GOP is dead. It’s ‘Rat infested.
I have been listening to him comment on Fox in the morning and what I have heard doesn’t jive with what is written here. Am I missing something?
In my opinion, he preaches to the choir. Are you part of the choir? That's not meant to be an insult. People who like him are good people.
I just don't see Ronald Reagan in him.
Huckabee is a honest Christian who wants to bring spiritual revival to America. As President, Huckabee can use the bully pulpit to educate America on proper Biblical living.
I am not a Huck fan, but I believe he is honest.
Romney was for Romneycare. He is disqualified.
We need new candidates.
There are no more Ronald Reagans and there never will be. What I have heard from Huck is largely taking on Obama and the Democrats in Congress and he does a pretty good job of that. He has a pretty good thing going on TV and I am not convinced he will run in 2012 (Personally, I can’t figure out why he would want to).
I’d vote for Obama before I’d vote for RINO Huckabee, he reminds me of a carnival barker.
He is a fat socialist.
You would vote for Obama before Huck? Are you sure you didn’t miss the turn on your way to the Daily KHOST?
He holds ZERO appeal for me. Always has. Always will. Can’t stand him, don’t listen to or watch him. Won’t do it.
No, I think it is actually a great thing that we have Obama and not that idiot socialist McCain in office.
Americans are seeing first hand just what socialism really is and maybe, just maybe they will get off their collective asses and do something about it this time. If not well we get the rulers we deserve do we not?
“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.” Thomas Jefferson
“I’ll take Mitt Romney over Mike Huckabee without hesitating.”
Accepting the lesser of two evils is how the Republican Party got into the mess it is today. How about real conservative, constitution-loving, God-fearing, family-orientated Republican Party members/voters ONLY ACCEPT candidates that fully share these important beliefs? No more RINO candidates and no more He/she isn’t a bad and the other guy candidates?
PS. I won’t back either of the above two choices for President. When the RNC sends me fund raising letters, I tell them no money until conservatives are run and supported by the party.
Sadly, that is not one of the primary duties of the president. And it is the primary duties of the president that concern me (and most conservatives), such as decreasing the power and scope of the government, having a strong defense, reducing regulation, protecting our borders etc. Unfortunately, Huckabee is soft on quite a few of those. No thanks...
Huckabee is a RINO and has a proven record of supporting the invasion of illegal aliens... to the point of backstabbing those who tried to put into place laws to prevent illegal aliens from stealing one our most precious birthrights, the right to vote.
Huckabee blasts immigrant bill as ‘race-baiting’
BY DAVID HAMMER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Posted on Friday, January 28, 2005
Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that a bill to deny state government benefits and voting rights to illegal immigrants is “inflammatory... race-baiting and demagoguery.”He challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.
The governor said the bill “inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there’s a real problem. But there’s not.”
Sens. Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith, whose Northwest Arkansas region includes the state’s fastest growing Hispanic population, filed the measure, Senate Bill 206.
Huckabee, a Baptist minister and a Republican like Holt and Altes, said Arkansans should be welcoming hardworking immigrants of all races.
Slandering conservatives (me included) as bigoted race-baiters for attempting to stop the invasion of our country is unconsienable for someone claiming to be a conservative.
Did he really believe someone was wrong for attempting to deny voting rights to illegal aliens, or was he betraying his own principles in order to score political points?
These people he was publicly attacking were Republicans, members of his own party. He was attacking them because they were, in the spirit of the rule of law, attempting to pass a conservative border enforcement measure into law.
I would expect such garbage from Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or the Chief Marxist, but not from a Republican presidential candidate (except perhaps McCain).
I will never again vote for another candidate who doesn’t have a clear position and a clean track record on illegal immigration issues. NEVER!
“The GOP is dead.”
Yes, it is and starting to stink up the room. Glad I left them and their RINO candidates.
