Is Medved almost ALWAYS wrong or is it just me?

President Huckabee

Just doesn’t roll off the tongue. Don’t see it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

- Supports higher taxes
- Pro-open borders
- Nanny-stater
- Admires the Clintons
- Big government socon

No thanks. He'll be a re-run of Bush.

[lormand]

I don't care if his last name is Lipschitz, it's a candidate's views that count.

I remember when some Arkansas democRATs in Little Rock wanted to raise taxes.

Huckabee set up a web site for the RATS to voluntarily donate personal money instead of raising taxes.

It was a great political stunt that helped prove a point about democRATs.

[pissant]

No thanks. He’s a weak sister.

[roses of sharon]

Wonderful, good man.

But not as serious as the rest imo.

These are very, very, dangerous times and the US needs a ruthless SOB.

[Saundra Duffy]

It is surprising that more FReepers are not standing by Huckabee considering his great history with FR. Huckabee has been a good friend to FR for a very long time. Sometimes I think FreeRepublic.com has lost its heart.

Medved is at pains to slam Thompson, or at least to carry water for those wishing to do so. Oh, he’s not saying Jeri is a dragon lady ... but gosh, he HEARD that SOME people (atTheNewYorkTimes) said that!

Jeeze, Medved, if you want to promoted Huckabee, then do so without slamming others.

[Signalman]

Huckabee is a good guy but another Arkansas Governor for Prez?

I’d have to think about that.

I can see him as a VP candidate with Mitt at the top of the ticket.

[thepresidentsbestfriend]

I would be proud to call him, commander n chief

[DogBarkTree]

I like the guy. I’d be happy to have him as a boss or a neighbor. As a war chief? Hmmmm. Im not sold.

[mgstarr]

One Arkansas governor in the White House was more than enough.

And no, Huckabee doesn’t have a good chance to become our next president by any stretch of the imagination.

[Man50D]

Another positive for Huckabee is that he supports The Fair Tax

[nowandlater]

Well, it’s a competence primary, that’s why Rudy and Mitt are doing well in the polls. Does Huckabee come off as an executive or just a good old boy? In the 2000 cycle who would be a good choice.

Also, while he is great on Social issues, he is weaker on fiscal performance and the border issue.

And one more thing, doesn’t Mike and Fred compete for the same pool of voters? What happens there?

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Huckabee: He could be the "real deal"

More like a busted flush draw...

[EGPWS]

Forget about Fred Thompson--- his long delay in entering the race makes him look increasingly like the Mario Cuomo of the Republican Party.

That's right, since Fred isn't focusing on politics as a primary factor in his life like the rest of the possibles are.

Why Fred is waiting for the reasonable and historically accepted time to decide whether he is going to run or not.

Keerist, going by the trend of running for office, before too long we will have have presidential candidates avidly on the campaign trail 4 years before the election!

If most politicians placed the same concern on national finances as they do they're election finances we would be in debt as a nation perpetually.

Oh, wait a minute....

[txrangerette]

Absolutely NOT Huckabee.

No WAY.

[rabscuttle385]

...that Mike Huckabee has a good chance to become our next president.

Not if he has to run Fred Thompson hit pieces to get attention.

[montag813]

Didn’t Huckabee do have some terrible policies with illegals in Arkansas?

[Siobhan]

Huckabee would be an excellent Vice-President but never a Presidential nominee at this point. (And do we really want anyone from that state?)
