1984 US Presidential Election:
Republican: Ronald Reagan - Electoral Votes Won: 525
Democrat : Walter Mondale- Electoral Votes Won: 13
Mike Huckabee, the Walter Mondale of the Republican Party.
More like cluster F*** noobie
To paraphrase the Waco Kid:
"...these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."
How was it expected that Huckabee with almost invisible fund raising was going to compete in a contest requiring 850 million dollars end to end?
He can’t. That’s it. There is no further discussion. Money, frankly, trumps principle. A candidate channeling Jesus Christ’s policies in an election won’t win without money.
Romney is the only candidate that can compete financially, and that is the predominant area of competition in this day and age.
Hey cluster, you left off the last half of your name.
How about health concerns? That’d seem much more valid. But nope; he’s ‘old’ therefore unfit for the presidency?
So if there’s that snake-oil being sold, there’s probably a whole lot more. No sale, Huckster.
Welcome new paid Huckmeister 1/19/008.
Please, he would never unite this party.
Surely you jest.
Thanks for the laugh!
Paid shill or true believer in the huckster?
I am against the illegals overrunning this country so I am a racist and bigot according to huckleberry.
feh.
I’m with you Cluster. Just remember that these guys flaming you are planning to vote for amnesty McCain or Romney ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961207/posts ).
Huckabee signed the NumbersUSA no amnesty pledge and is endorsed by Duncan Hunter. I trust Huckabee on immigration more than Romney, who I am convinced will sell out the people for the benefit of his business buddies (and interests). The Romney’s have been Rockefeller Republicans for at least 60 years.
“Value-oriented Conservative”
Is that sort of like a liberal?
I join you...lol lol, rofl, he he
“Pure”, if you prefer :
Those who cherish Family and Moral Values, Education, protection of Human Embryo, Honesty, Citizens’ Freedom together with real Security, a popular America in the World (as it was in the good old days), in parallel with a strong Military focused on its main tasks, real Science which develops the country’s Economy without risks of dangerous abuses by some egoist and irresponsible Technocrats, innovative Health policies preventing, rather than trying to cure too late, Respect for working-class people (notoriously lost by most Dems, both in the US and overseas), etc.
Mike Huckabee can really attract to the GOP various simple, honest People, previously abstaining or misleaded by Dems, while also uniting all real Conservatives, thanks to the New, post-2004 Value-oriented movement. (See above).
Please, at the very least be honest. Romney is no prize, but neither is Huck.
Hucks history on illegal immigration is deplorable.
I don’t care what stance he has taken since he started his campaign, his history is awful.
So does this make you a Cluster Huck?
Who are the simple people?
-
anyone dumb enough to think he is a sincere conservative
Did you look at the article on Romney? It wasn’t on immigration.
I do not believe Huckster.
From June, 2005.
“During the legislation session, Huckabee criticized an immigration bill by Republican senators Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.
Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later to Huckabee’s comments that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.
The Republican governor, who many believe will run for president in 2008, also backed legislation that would have opened the door for illegal immigrants in Arkansas to receive college scholarships.
House Bill 1525 by Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, was approved by the House but eventually failed in the Senate. Huckabee reiterated Wednesday that he believes every child, regardless of their parent’s immigration status, should have an opportunity to receive an education in the U.S.”
