Again, how is this relevant? I think this accussation is total B.S. Can we focus on politics instead????!?!?!?!
They are also highly embarrassing to conservatives in general. We, FRians, considered the leading Conservative news source in the world, with a country on the brink of self-elected destruction in the form of Miz Clinton, make this a focal point.
We eat our young.
It is not the idea that he did/may have had the surgery, it is the deception and ridicule he has dished out and forced on Arkansas, which he plans to do nation wide if elected.
a human-interest story, to which Huckabee added a public policy angle by also touting his anti-obesity public health initiative called Healthy Arkansas
Use his weight loss as a model for Government anti-obesity efforts
They don't call him Hucka-Nanny for nothing.
I could care less if he had the surgery, but ...
He is also using his success story to wage war on junk food in public schools in hopes of targeting childhood obesity rates.
Following his lead, the state Legislature required public school students' weights to be assessed using the BMI, or Body Mass Index, scale. It also formed an advisory panel to institute a campaign to target rising childhood obesity rates in the state.
Read all about it here.
Huckabee sets healthy standard for state
Healthy Arkansas is a comprehensive effort to clearly define specific areas where behavioral changes can lead to healthier citizens.
Tobacco use, obesity, and physical inactivity are the three primary causes of these and other serious chronic conditions.
No cradle to grave health care nanny state!

And speaking of Rush Limbaugh and his weight loss, compare his weight loss and looks to Huckabee’s. Rush looked much healthier during/after his weight loss. But Huckabee looks awful.
The point is, how important it will be politically is unknown, in either case it should be fully disclosed before the primaries.
I think this accussation is total B.S.
Your comments...far from the legal definition of proof.
I wouldn't maintain they are proof, but are enough to be worth asking questions and getting this cleared up before the primaries.
Can we focus on politics instead????!?!?!?!
Huckabee made his personal weight loss a part of Arkansas state policy, with his ...if I can lose weight, anyone can., business. Huckabee was the one that focused politics on his weight loss, and he can't run from it now.
We, FRians make this a focal point.
If it wasn't brought up now, it would be after he was nominated. Huckabee can make this go away tomorrow by proving he hadn't had gastric bypass. If he doesn't, then the MSM and Dems will prove it for him after he is nominated, and what that would mean we don't know, but it wouldn't be good.
If we was still using it a central issue for his presidential campaign then I would tend to agree. But he is not that is why I don’t think this merit such a huge focus.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Thanks for the limerick. very good.

You also said, 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:

They love this guy. After all, he is one of them. Remember, the less you know about Huckabee, the more you like him.

Well put!
I think people who have had that surgery eat very little as they get full faster. It might be interesting (if there is a way) to watch him at meal time on the campaign trail.
Personally, I trust him as far as I can throw him. I resent his trying to lay a guilt trip on Christians who are against illegal aliens invading our home. He seems to believe God would be okay with unknowns climbing the pearly gates or digging tunnels under them to get into heaven.
How do you want him to prove it? Strip naked?
Unless there's more evidence than this, we must take the man at his word.
You have done a thorough work here. Thanks again.
Are we talking about the presidency or a Miss America pageant?
Oops. I should have read more closely before I posted. Sorry.
Interesting approach...I like it!
Still trying to figure that out. You did watch the last debate, did you not?
It's so obvious now. Those dastardly FReepers broke The Huckster's knees on purpose! So that he could secretly get liposuction and a tummy tuck!
The only way he can prove that didn't happen is for him to take a barium enema and post the x-ray pictures here. If he fails to do so, that proves it's true!
