No Conservative who knows Huckster’s record as Governor could support him for President... ever. Or is shrinking your state GOP and handing ALL the state offices to the Democrats on a silver platter the new qualification for the highest office ? Bizarro world.
There’s a lot of speculation in the above article. If Huckabee is endorsing that a Barack Obama presidency is somehow good for America, he needs to be publically castigated for it and rightfully dealt his death knell in the Republican Party. I’m not at all willing to make that statement, and he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Backroom he-said, she-said conversations aren’t exactly solid stuff until there’s a constant murmur.
That said, does it really surprise anyone that the brain children behnd the “Government is not God” PAC are Huckabee supporters? What kind of a name is that, anyway? If you want to establish some kind of PAC to fight Mitt Romney, okay... It’s more than a little weird. Generally PACs actually stand for something. But who names a PAC “Government is Not God?” It’s true....but incredibly lame. And begs the question of why they’re bringing God into it, anyway, if their PAC isn’t more than just a bit bigoted against Mormons. Why even further open yourself up to that sort of speculation?
Not a good PR move, that one.
I’m not very religious minded but I thought masochism was a sin. Not to mention that to deliberately and knowingly bring such a plague on us with full awareness of the consequencies is simply unconscionable. Its like playing god. I thought religion taught humility.
Just going by what I’ve seen of him in the primaries, I have a pretty low regard for Huckabee who seems to be a populist and a social engineer.
Yeah, I’ll comment. I can do so as an evangelical, and a strong one at that.
Huck is not doing anyone any favors. His class warfare rhetoric and his shilling for McCain showed me he really cares more about himself than the nation.
I hope he chooses not to run again.
Huckabee is *not* a conservative, and most Christians are well aware of it.

Open Letter to Senator McCain:
Dear Johnnyboy,
You need a CONSERVATIVE!!!!
Try Duncan Hunter.
Fits the Huck persona. Huck lost me with his subtle indictments of mormonism early on, and his hostility to Mitt. In my mind Huck is a true bigot, slicker than WJC, plain mean spirited.
It is probably true.
Really? I don't think he's been doing this.
On this issue, here are the comments of Mike Huckabee himself;
I was very disturbed by a column by Robert Novak that quoted some “anonymous source” in saying that while I strongly supported Senator McCain, I thought that maybe America “deserves Obama,” as if to say that I secretly hoped he won.
Where do people dream up this stuff? Forget the “anonymous” sources—there’s nothing anonymous about my stand and here it is. We don’t “deserve” Obama—we DESERVE a President with the character, convictions, experience, and wisdom to see the problems we face and try to lead us to solve them. We deserve a President who truly loves this country and from whom there is no doubt as to his respect for Faith, Family, and the kind of Freedom that those before us have given their lives to pass on to us. John McCain meets that criteria and that’s why I am campaigning for him and not hoping for Obama. The nonsense that I want Obama to win this year so I can run in 2012 is absurd. I love my country more than my own ambition. So let the record and truth be clear. And let the “anonymous” sources either show the courage to stand up and be accountable for their comments or shut up and leave commentary to people who aren’t afraid of their own shadow.

“He is reported in evangelical circles to promote the Biblical justification for an Obama plague-like presidency”.
Does anyone know what this is about?
Thanks,

That article is a load of crap. Huckabee is trying to bring on the apocalypse now. That article is a load of crap. LOL
This election cycle exposed all the dirtbags in the Republican party who gladly support Mr. $50 Abortions who raised fees more than Huckabee raised taxes, implemented forced socialist health care, and shifted government spending to counties and cities to create the illusion that he balanced the budget in Mass.
McCain is the wooden stake through the heart of the GOP as a conservative party and Huckabee is the silver bullet though the head to ensure the GOP doesn’t return to conservative life.
“McCain, Huckabee and the Evangelicals [Bob Novak]”
I AM an evangelical and I was wondering back during the primaries....”is there a way BOTH of these losers can well, lose?” Lo and behold there is one way. McJerk could pick Gomer for VP!
