Mike Huckabee: Jeb Bush More to Right Than His Brother (facepalm)
Newsmax ^ | Tuesday, 20 Jan 2015 06:53 PM | Bill Hoffmann

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee—who’s mulling another run for president—says his potential rival, Jeb Bush, is a lot more conservative than people think—even further to the right than his brother, George W. Bush.

Asked Tuesday on The Steve Malzberg Show on Newsmax TV whether the former Florida governor was a true conservative, Huckabee said: “Jeb will have a lot of issues that he’ll make front and center. He was an excellent governor of Florida. He was a very conservative governor of Florida. We’ve served contemporaneously during the late ’90s and early part of 2000. So when people say, well, ‘Jeb Bush is not a conservative’, his whole record says that he was.”

So conservative in fact, that “ideologically, he’s probably more conservative than his brother” George W. Bush, Huckabee said. …

“The Shuckster’s strategy is to try and convince enough low-information Republicans...”

NO, if he runs, it will be to win, not to run interference for another candidate. Mike Huckabee is primarily and foremost a social/moral conservative. That is why, at this time, he is the lead to get my social/moral conservative vote.

Uh, no thanks. If I want a nanny, I'll hire one. I don't want a nanny running my government.

“Uh, no thanks. If I want a nanny, I’ll hire one. I don’t want a nanny running my government.”

It has been my experience that persons that scream the loudest against a perceived “nannystater” or those that need a nannystate to keep them in line because of their libertine (AKA libertarian)& anarchist behavior.

You are not very intelligent or discerning if you think I am on anyone’s payroll or that I am a troll of any sort. Read my bio.

I am a FULLY and FOCUSED social/moral conservative. That candidate which best represents my beliefs and values is going to get my vote and support. Currently Governor Huckabee is the person - on those issues - which best does. Senator Cruz is next in line.

Conservatives are not Marxist supporters. You are a liar.

PS - as a focused social/moral conservative I cannot abide libertines (AKA libertarians). IMO they are a Godless group of anarchists trying to hide this in the name of “freedom.” Some behaviors NEED to be suppressed by force of law (like drugs, prostitution, etc.). IF that makes me a “nanny stater” then I will gladly own the title.

So my second assessment was the correct one.

Looks like Huckabee has a political death wish.

“Correction: you are a liar or a fool.”

You are obviously both in that you have totally mischaracterized me. You need to grow up and realize that “anything goes” is a bad thing. I don’t have the time to deal with an ill behaved child like yourself (regardless of your age).

IF you truly want to pursue the “troll” accusation. Then complain to Jim Robinson about me. I have clearly stated my beliefs and values....I hide nothing.

Right. The Jeb Bush that swore a war against conservatives. Yeah, Huckster, he’s way to the right of Barry Goldwater.

PS - Being a libertine (libertarian) is incompatible with REAL Christianity.
