Watching Huckabees show. I really like it, especially how he interacts with the audience. There is a nice multi-cultural mix in the audience too. I hope FOX continues to run this show.
I like it too. I missed it last night, but it’s on again now, and I’m watching. Churck Norris is on right now.
I liked it. He’s got a great sense of humor & a very easy manner with people.
I watched the intro.
No laughs at his lame jokes.
Stephen Colbert didn’t do him a favor....unfunny jokes.
He thinks this will lead into his 2012 campaign? Chuck Norris coming up...is he still a republican???
I LOVE IT!
Finally a FOX show without screaming & without dumbing it down too.
They should keep this, Cavutto, & Brit’s show and scrub the rest imho.
it’s just so classic American. there aren’t too many politicians who are able to quote Aristotle or Chesterton.
Anyone know what he was talking about?I missed part of it.
my favorite fox show is the WSJ report.
And I think he's right about economic terrorism, these last two weeks. It fits this:
Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis
Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx
Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

Further corroboration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:
Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.
It’s good show. Mike does a good job, too bad McCain doesn’t have some of his communications skills.
I now know why my family and friends really liked him...very charismatic and conservative.
I agree. Mike has a nice show. I hope they keep it on.
I enjoy it, sometimes I think he should pick up the pace a bit, but it is Middle America to the proverbial “T”.
A pastor that supports nobama. OMG.
Nope, nada, nilch.
Better watch out, buster.
I watch it...it’s okay
His interview with the Mom’s was a little over the top...asking 3 Mom’s...”What would you like America to know about how difficult it is to run a household?”
Umm..I think every adult knows what it is like to run a household....it seemed kind of odd to me.
I think this show has evolved him into a television personality and likely just ended any political career.
Right now he’s interviewing 2 African American Pastors - one for Obama and one for McCain. The pastor for McCain said his congregation is voting on the issues according to God’s Law. The pastor further explained that if Obama advocates infanticide, his congregation needs to know.
I like Mike and his show. The band needs more practice. lol
i like mike !!! always have and voted for him in primary.
i still cannot figure out why the conservatives gave him such a hard time.
Shep can find work with Dumbo abama!!!!
I like it, too, and I was pretty anti-Huckabee back during the primaries. It cannot be denied; he’s the best communicator in the entire GOP right now. He explains things well, handles questions with ease, is not afraid to attack the other side, and actually has just about all the concepts right. Honestly....yeah, I’ll just go ahead and eat crow and say it.....I wish he were our nominee. More than anything right now, Republicans need someone who is a good communicator. Bush and McCain’s utter ineptness at it has cost us almost everything. Huckabee’s show is a nice respite after watching McCain continue to strike out on homerun pitches throughout the week.
It sucks.
I wish more Rev, and especially catholic priests mention abortion and homo marriage.
I could never understand why the catholic north east goes and votes for everything their religion goes against
Then I live up there for a bit and asked around.
Seems the Priests up there never mention any of this at all, why I do not know but they need to
he was too religious and folksy for them. The same elitist Republicans who hate Palin also hated him.
he would have been against the bailout and he would have won in a landslide.
Why do you say that? During the debates, he didn’t show the slightest interest in the debt, the destructive role of the Federal Reserve, etc. Ron Paul was the only one to do that. Huckabee didn’t see this coming. Why should he? He was a typical big spending, tax-raising Southern governor.
I despise Mike Huckabee, whose selfishness and collusion with McCain has delivered the electoral disaster that may soon ensue.
Yes, I will vote for McCain. That said, we have nominated the wrong candidate.
Like Reagan in 76 and 80, Mitt was positioned to run AGAINST Washington. We have no such luxury with McCain. With his global economic expertise and telegenicity, Romney would be kicking BO and the RATS to the curb on this economic meltown. and explaining a pro-growth and compelling positive economic agenda. Hell, we might even have taken back the House with Romney at the top of the ticket.
-@— you, Huckabee.
ha ha me too.
waiting for noris.
(better than geraldo, but kind of wishy washy. wish he would have more blood and guts politics)
“my favorite fox show is the WSJ report”
Oh yeah, forgot about that but you got to admit they need to retool and bring it up a notch.
Huckabee now interviewing Bill Orek from Orek vacuums - he’s talking about times during The Great Depression - back then people were looking for work not a handout. Amen...
I think it sucks.
I liked him as well...especially after the Edwards jokes during the summer 07 debate. However, Romney would've sliced and diced BO to pieces last week. I want to wait until after the election to play Monday morning quarterback....I just wonder how a Romney/Palin program would've worked.........especially given the financial sector panic.
“Shep can find work with Dumbo abama”
Can’t stand that slime bag. I quickly change the channel @ 7PM, might watch BOR depending on who is on.
Um, Romney supported the bailout. But I’m sure he’d flip that issue too
http://www.lvrj.com/news/30256589.html
Speaking to reporters after his 17-minute talk, Romney said he supports the economic rescue plan making its way through Congress and lauded Porter for voting for it. He was one of a handful of vulnerable Republicans who cast a yes vote for the original bill that failed in the House of Representatives on Monday.
“What Jon Porter did ... is not politically popular, but it’s the right thing,” Romney said. “I believe the American people, with more time and inspection of the need for economic stabilization, will recognize that this is the right thing. Right now he’s taking a vote which is a very courageous vote and I salute him for doing that.”
I agree with you. I’ll never forgive what he did to Mitt Romnmey.
I’m not big on conspiracy theories, but I’m 100% sure there are those out there spreading fear & misinformation, the rest - I’ll keep an open mind about - I think it is possible.
I really like the show...I’ts probably one of the best that is on FOX right now...
I like Mike! I liked Mike over McCain & Romney in the primaries and I like a Palin-Huckabee ticket in 2012.
His show is great.
Good to see Lauren Green on the show - she’s great in the band!!! She would be a great fill-in host for Mike
Your naivete is amazing. Romney is playing good soldier to protect as many Republicans as possible.
Were he the nominee, Mitt would have vociferously opposed the bailout and hung the entire scandal around the RATS necks, with no political accountability.
Unlike our current standard bearer, Mitt can speak with fluency and high impact on any economic subject. McCain looks like a deer in headlights and can barely string a few coherent thoughts together.
Wake up.
I can’t take the huckster.
Schmuckabee may talk the conservative talk, but he didn't walk the walk when he was governor. -- His track record in office was that of a Liberal. The man is a flim flam man, a con artist.
Huck would have been as bad or worse a candidate than we have in McCain, and he would have lost (and he would NOT have chosen Palin VP
he brought up 2 points during the debates that none of the others brought up. He said sarbanes oxley was a disaster and the Keynesian stimulus rebate, which would just end up going to China, would do nothing for the economy.
He is also a consistent supply sider. He cut capital gains and wants to abolish the income tax. No tax on capital and productivity. None of the other candidates had the guts to cut the top rate, let alone eliminate it.
Ron Paul actually had a very weak tax plan.
“Honestly....yeah, Ill just go ahead and eat crow and say it.....I wish he were our nominee.”
Same here, I think he would be way ahead at this point.
OTOH, My friends here in Arkansas tell me his show isn't worth what they're paying him. I think watching once was enough for most of them.
sw
Just was just watching his show with Chuck Norris. I’m going to buy Chuck’s book, “Black Belt Patriotism”.
that’s not really true. How do you think he won michigan? he promised to bail them out. He wanted the govt to bail out the Winter Olympics. He was for Commonwealth Care and the stimulus tax rebate that went to people who didn’t pay taxes. And this was the same romney who was against Steve Forbes and his flat tax in 1996.
“I agree with you. Ill never forgive what he did to Mitt Romnmey.”
I too was for Romney, couldn’t quite understand the whole anti-Morman thing (from a large part of the party, not just Huck), that said Romney lost.
I had (have) concerns about McCain & Huck but I think McCain just isn’t taking the fight to Obama, too much is being held back, I’m not sure if Huck would sit back and take it.
Mr. Huckabee, it appears that Barack Obama is going to win the election and it can be attributed directly to YOU. Why? Because of your religious bigotry a few months ago against Mitt Romney! You, like Democrat Bill Richardson, were not running for President, as there was no way in the world that you even had a chance. It was just an ego thing. You were running for VICE President and needed to get Romney out of the way because you knew he would not consider you to be his running mate. You figured (wrongly and thankfully) that John McCain would give you consideration if he got the nomination. Therefore, you made the decision to slander Romney with that Jesus / devil question. You, Mr. Huckabee, have a bachelor's in Religion and also attended a theological seminary, so you knew your comment was way out of line. You learned in World Religion 101 what the Mormon religion's teaching were. And, it is not "that Jesus and the devil are brothers". You knew how Evangelicals would take your comment, as the everyday person doesn't know a lot about Mormans. They just assumed you knew what you were talking about, since you are an ordained Baptist minister. (By the way, I'm a practicing Roman Catholic.) The day before your knowingly false statement, Romney was leading the pack, but the following day, he started going downhill. He had to drop out because of your intentional falsehoods and RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY.
Had you not done what you did, I'm sure Mitt Romney would have been debating Obama Tuesday night, not John McCain. And, another thing; Romney would have a good 35% lead over Obama right now instead of Obama with a (+)7%. Romney would have cleaned his clock.
McCain would make a good President, but without Sarah Palin, he would now be DOWN about 40%. Sarah is great and is keeping his head above water, BUT, McCain cannot win by continuing his routine campaign rhetoric of "I'm a maverick", "I can reach across the aisle" and starting every third sentence with "MY friend". This is politics, not a friendly game of golf. Obama and his henchmen know how to win. And, how to win over the mainstream media. Perhaps, Mr. Huckabee, John McCain should let you run his campaign until election day. Your slimy tactics would make Obama and his team of bagmen look like mere children.
With all that said, Governor, I would like for you to consider doing the following on the day after Obama wins the election: Call a national press conference, and, stand up and tell the American people that you're sorry for falsely slandering Mitt Romney and that it's YOUR fault that the United States is about to become a socialist, third world country.
JMAX
So now the Mitt haters are peddling the absurd notion that Huck and McCain are more conservative than McCain on economic policy. Spare me the nonsense, please.
Who had the Reagan economic vision and could sell it to the American people in a a general election campaign - Romney or McCain?
In order to enact any economic policy, you have to get elected first. McCain is proving that he cannot discuss economic issues with any certainty let alone passion.
It is sickening to think of what might have been right now with Mitt as our nominee. Anyone who denies this is living in fantasyland.
