So the enlightened Progressive thinks the Presidential race is a personality contest?

Maybe it is. For liberals.

[Jarhead9297]

Shirley you can’t be serious!?

[hadaclueonce]

HUCK NO!

[clintonh8r]

How would he know? And don’t call me Shirley!

;>)

I believe that when Huckabee first ran for President, he assured the victory of John McCain for the nomination. This time by running he will most likely assure a victory for the GOP-e candidate.

[Snickering Hound]

Huckabee would like you to know that you're not helping...

[Vigilanteman]

She could make it a lot simpler just by saying that Huckster is a liberal too.

[Vigilanteman]

Yes he did. But some ill-informed Freepers loved him because he knocked Romney out of the race.

Had Romney won the nomination in 2008, BO would've won anyway and we'd most likely have had someone different in 2012, maybe even someone who could've beaten BO.

So, in a way, Huck is responsible for both BO and Romney.

Liberals/democrats are sick socialist brainwashed idiots. Liberals think Centrist Republicans like Jindal etc are too far right cause they are for restraining the growth of government, taxes and regulations? Government is the problem but government is the solution and the God of liberals. I would want the total elimination of their God = government except for military courts and border patrol . who actually has wanted to reduce government ? I think only Reagan and Tom Tancredo. Reagan couldn't do it cause he had a democrat Congress. This huge government needs to be radically downsized now and that's what scares liberals .liberals are sick idiots. yes they love huckabee cause huckabee is a socialist

Huckabee is the socialist from Arkansas and he is for amnesty for illegals. look up his record . this cretin is no conservative . he doesn’t have American values of small government . He loves big government. acts religious but is a false prophet.

proof huckabee is the socialist from Arkansas

I'm 65, and I've heard it all. There's absolutely nothing a self-identified liberal like Kohn can do or say that will influence me a smidgeon. it is my feeling that the people who identify as liberals, like Kohn, have done so much harm to the country, their opinions and ideas on what is good for the country are less than worthless.

I don't hate Huckabee, but being endorsed by the likes of Kohn will not help him much with conservative Republicans.

Interesting factoid:

“Shirley”1. Povich went on to explain that he knew at least four other boys in school in Maine who were named “Shirley,” so it did not particularly bother him. (”Shirley” was a masculine name until the 1900s. Actress Shirley Booth was one of the first women so named; Shirley Temple opened the floodgates for the name.)
