What if Huckabee's 'signature issue' is a scam?

It is a scam. His signature issue is his claim to be a conservative. That there is some serious snake oil.

[counterpunch]

When we hear, however, of the growing popularity of gastric bypass surgery methamphetamine, the thought occurs, what if that is how Huckabee lost his weight?

He had an illegal alien hidden under his jacket all that time, and just let him out.

Holy crap. Good job

ROFLMAO!!!

When we hear, however, of the growing popularity of gastric bypass surgery, the thought occurs, what if that is how Huckabee lost his weight? Could he have had such surgery secretly? Would he then attribute the subsequent inevitable weight loss to his determination and discipline?

It's my understanding that people who undergo gastric bypaass still need to exercise determination and discipline - it's apparently possible to gradually eat your way back to an enlarged stomach size and the exercise necessary to get in shape regardless of food intake obviously takes both determination and discipline.

I don't like Huckabee and I won't vote for him in the primary. But this gastric bypass issue seems completely irrelevant to me. If that's what it took for Huckabee to lose the weight, more power to him.

Well, I’ll say one thing: you put a lot of work into this.

While he was very large in 2003, he looks horrible in the 2006/2007 photos. He looked more healthy while obese.

When I heard Huckleberry Hound had lost 110 lbs of useless fat, my first thought was ‘they amputated his head?’

[Azzurri]

Quite honestly, he looked much healthier in 2002 (at 290 pounds) than he does lately.

Absolutely facinating and thorough research, friend Plutarch! Congratulations - you've exposed another side of this Arkanscoundrel-Huckabee.

Must be something in the Hope water there. Thanks ......................... FRegards

[Luke Skyfreeper]

That’s fer sure.

[miliantnutcase]

He looks like sh&t. It looks like he had more energy when he was fat.

[SHEENA26]

All I can say is..WOW.

[bethtopaz]

Your comment was hilarious. Here’s a limmerick I just wrote.

There once was a governor named Huck,
Who ran for president with only a Buck.
He laughed and he joked,
And when confronted he choked,
And then that was the end of that bloke.

Huckabee CANNOT be the GOP nominee. He is NOT a conservative.

He is Bill and Hillary’s favorite - if that send off warning signals, nothing will.

Check out the website: www.democratsforhuckabee.com.

They love this guy.

After all, he is one of them.

Remember, the less you know about Huckabee, the more you like him.

Character matters. Wasn't that the battle cry of the Conservatives after the Liar in Chief got elected.

If Huckabee lied about his weight loss, then he is no better than Clinton lying about having sex with that woman.

He wrote a book about how he lost weight and if he lied in that book, then he's finished as a candidate for me.

Gastric banding huckabee yields 651 hits on Yahoo. IMHO, it's not much of a cover-up. It's not that I have much sympathy for another health nazi/nanny statist.

[Darkwolf377]

Huckabee—Because illegals deserve a choice of parties to vote for, too. :D
