Huckabee is as socialist as any Democrat.

We’ve already had “One Dope for Hope”, we don’t need another.

I like Cruz, Palin. I agree with almost everything I hear from them. Maybe Walker as well.

For you to say that Cruz is a political animal who will “say anything” and support Huckabee is the ultimate in political tone deafness. Why do you think he’s called the Huckster? (Oh, wait….if you knew that……)

Fun and games plants. He has no real base of support for POTUS.

I know, I can’t believe any Freeper falls for Huckabee’s phony schtick.

Things will never change until the GOPe stops looking to the MSM for political advise.

Iowa is a weird state.

They are too close to Chicago, and somewhat want to be like them. They are sadly sold out to Chicago.

I do not put much stock in Iowa polls.

It seems fairly obvious to me that voting ain’t gonna work anymore. Every presidential election is over run by fraud and even when we send good folks to Congress they don’t seem to be able to do anything. Too any Boners and McConnells in the way. Unfortunately, it appears that violence will end up being the only way.

Michelle Bachmann won the last Iowa Caucus. Look who got the nomination.

Huckabee rhetoric not equal to Huckabee reality.

Passage of time has proven your statement true.

“Michelle Bachmann won the last Iowa Caucus.”

No, she didn’t. She was a distant 6th.

Have been reading the Old Testament using Scourby’s Bible on DVD (I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, etc.) and watching the various kings and their country’s success or downfall based on their faithfulness to God. (It’s like holding your breath when the page is turned to see if the next one in line is going to fly right)

The bottom line. . . if the leader of this nation is not in the tank for Jesus we can say goodbye to our country’s freedom, resourcefulness, family values, etc. etc. etc. It’s the “people stupid” or should I say “stupid people” that have turned this country into shambles by their votes or lack their of. The churches of today are “tickling ears” and don’t stand for anything. Other countries are even sending missionaries to the USA!!!!!

I am not advocating Huckabee, but I sure wouldn’t put him in the same bag with Christie and Bush. As far as Cruz is concerned, he strikes me as just another slick politician who is carefully managing his message to appeal to a certain base.He will most likely be very a very wealthy man. I am beginning to think that everybody in political office is there to enhance their own bank account and Cruz certainly is not exception. They cater to special interests that will donate the most money. Watch for a “book” from him in the near future. What do you think that will be for? As far as Palin is concerned. She had her day in the sun and now she is getting very rich. I guess when it comes to all Politicians, I am just a Cynic.

Of course the media are pushing this.

Huckster in the race helps to neutralize the extremist right wing conservative Tea Party evangelical Christian wacko birds.

Divide and conquer.

That helps the GOP-elite preference, regardless of who it is.

Then, in the final sprint, the media goes all out for the Dem nominee, regardless of who it is.

You are right. I was thinking of the Ames straw poll.

Christie is a clown.
Bush is a worthless loser who is dangerous to any logical conservative views.
Huckabee is old and has no fire in the belly.

All 3 must go away for the good of the country regarding elections.

..the same plan has worked before--with the same end results

Big money targeted to key candidates in order to split the conservative vote and voila, the Establishment candidate gets the nomination.

Huck, Paul, Cruz and whomever (Palin?) will carve each other up--and then Jeb Bush will be nominated in 2016---and lose...
