If conservatives want to wipe the smile off Jeb's face, just SAY NO TO HUCKSTER. This panderer is clearly Jebby's stalking horse to take votes away from Ted Cruz.
I posted in a related thread that, when Jeb asked McCain for advice on how to win the nomination without having to pander to the conservatives, McCain likely suggested for him secretly team with the Huckabees, etc., to siphon off conservative primary votes.
Huckabee sure helped McCain against Romney in 2008.
You mean Jeb "Rule of Law" Bush?
Fred Thompson did this for Mitt Romney, too.
Conservatives will be smiling when he has to give his concession speech.
BINGO!
Huckabee is NOT Conservative. I don’t know why anyone would vote for him.
Absolutely, positively a true statement. And with the coordinated help of the DNC-run media who took Huckster from a <5% nobody and manufactured him into a contender (laughing their arses off at the clueless socons who fell for it).
Huck: I'm cool. They like me! They really like me!
DNC-run media: What a schmuck! This gomer really thinks we like him!
Don't fall for this pandering fake conservative again!
So basically Huckabee will be playing the roll of Santorum in 2016?
Remember it was Santorum and Bachman which ran the screen for Romney in 2012.
Of course Santorum may just decide to play the role himself and leave the Bachman part to the Huckster.
There's a theory about that ....
Oh, barf.
NO Huckabee!!! NO Bush!!! NO Romney!!! NO Christie!!!
TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!
And Fred Thompson was the ONLY possible alternative to McQueeg or Romney, but the Huckster (aided by the gOpE and the DNC-run media) siphoned off the conservative vote from Fred to allow McQueeg to win.
Roger that. Santuckabee or Huckatorum. Two peas from the same pod. JUST SAY NO! to both of them.
Can you imagine these two on the same debate stage?!
Not only “no” to the Huckster, but “no” to Rick Santorum, the Catholic version of Huckster.
Both are stalking horses for Bush designed to target money-raising sub-groups of the Republican party, and thus hurt viable conservative candidates (e.g., Cruz).
Fred Thompson did it for McCain. Romney benefitted from Newt’s personal baggage and a slew of inexperienced and gimmicky candidates from the right. Bush will have to deal with Cruz and Rand Paul. Neither McCain nor Romney had to deal with anyone of their pedigree. While I wouldn’t discount Bush’s chance of winning the nomination, he is going to have a much bigger fight on his hands than the others had and I just don’t see Huck getting traction for him this time.
Why shouldn’t he smile? The same GOP-E that just ensured that Boehner was re-elected Speaker by a massive majority has already determined that they want another Bush - this time an openly pro-illegal immigration Bush - to carry the Republican mantle into 2015. Unless the Tea Party can find a suitable candidate to back early in the process AND have that candidate avoid the stumbles of Rick Perry, then the conservative support will be split among a number of lesser candidates who will not have the capacity to fight the enormous machine that is the GOP Establishment. Remember, it is only twice in the past 70 years that conservatives were able to defeat the Establishment’s choice.
I don’t know who running will help whom, but one thing I do know, there is no circumstance under which I’ll ever vote for a Bush again....for any office.
What I can’t for the life of me understand is the depths of the GOPe’s stupidity. Ok, they want an establishment type, understandable for them. But they can’t even pick someone new!?!? They can’t pick a sitting governor!?!? They can’t embrace the new talent that has been at the forefront of utterly seizing control of the state houses? For the GOPe the future isn’t now, it’s then, the past. It’s the one guy that breathes life into the democrats major deflection defense, namely, “blame Bush.” Jeb will equal W in the voter’s minds, a Bush is a Bush. Amazing, the last time out they nominated the ONE guy who could not attack the democrats biggest weakness, Obamacare.
It’s obvious to me that the GOPe has occupied the moderate wing of the democrat party that was left vacated.
Congrats American voters, here are your choices on the menu, the moderate or left wing of the uni-party, you choose.
