Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he thought Republicans ought to stay away from personal attacks on the Clintons, like Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s comments that former President Bill Clinton was a “sexual predator.”
“I personally don’t like to see us get into the personal issues of candidates because once you go down that road, it’s hard to ever put it in reverse and go back, and I’m just not sure that’s something we want to do,” Huckabee told reporters at CPAC.
“Bill Clinton is not gonna be on the ballot in 2016 or 2014, it’s very possible that his wife will. What she said, what she did, how she has served as a senator, Secretary of State, I think that’s all fair play,” he added.

What? For Democrats AND Republicans? WOW!
Straight from the Dole/McCain/Romney brain surgeons.
No, not for dems and repubs; just for repubs. The dems will eviscerate the repub; but the repub has to just take it. Them’s the rules.
Go far away Huck.
One Arkansas politician protecting another —
In other words; don’t use their own dirty tricks. Don’t act like they do.
It’s hard to follow a single standard and not fall into the trap of the double standards the Democrats use.
This is why Huckabee has to stay out of the 2016 race. The GOP will lose if they play with padded boxing gloves and Marquis of Queensbury rules while the Democrats and their media allies are allowed to use brass knuckles and make up the rules as they go along.
Huck a Buck needs to understand that what he may deem "personal", such as if the candidate is a muzzie, commie, foreigner, such as one Baraq Hussein 0bama, clearly are issues that need to be addressed. Both McLame and Romney tip-toed around these issues, and the result is an un-vetted would-be foreign tyrant.
Guys like this are 10X harsher criticizing their republican rivals then they are with democrats.
Idiots.
To this so called minister, character does not count when weighing the election candidates...
That is why we have a corrupt system of government. And it is getting worse.
Can we kick Huckabee out of the GOP? Off of Fox? Out of the country? “Pastor” Mike is the only Baptist who doesn’t care about moral issues. What a hypocrite!
This would be part of the reasoning as to why Republicans lose elections...unwilling to fight to win. Keep one’s principles and tell the truth. If the truth is painful to an opponent, keep telling it. Hint: It’s the truth.
Example: Bill Clinton IS a sexual predator. True. Repeat as frequently as needed.
Arkansas birds of a feather flock together.
Personal issues often expose character flaws that are clear indicators of whether the candidate is worthy of the public trust. So we should have ignored the philandering of John Edwards?? Clinton’s sexual escapades were indications that he could not be trusted, and he absolutely proved himself untrustworthy. If you will cheat on and lie to your spouse, chances are you will not hesitate to deceive voters.
You are barking up the wrong tree, Huck. The more you talk, the less I like you, and you aren’t on very good ground already.
IOW, give em a pass on any reprehensible behavior.
Yep, that will raise standards in this country/s
Thanks for the input, Huck. Now shut up.
