Mike Huck : the only Value-oriented Conservative able to win Hillary or Obama ?
After Brownback, Dunkan and Thomson withdrew, to be soon followed by Paul, while Romney stil doesn't convince the People, Guliani thanks God appears lost, and McCain a too old Liberal, => Governor Mike HUCKABEE obviously remains the only real Conservative, Value-oriented Presidential hopeful able to win against Liberal Dems like Hillary or Obama.
He's also the Youngest of all 2008 GOP candidates, and could be able to run also on 2012.
The most important thing is that Huck attracts the Voters mainly motivated by Values : The same who succeeded to brillantly re-elect US President GWBush, in a surprise last-minute move, November 2004, against flip-flop Lib. Kerry.
After also the experience of hard struggles fought by grass-roots, sincere and honest Conservative American People, back on 2005 partial House election, keen observers had already guessed that, 2004 and 2005 developments revealed that the 2008 US Presidential Election will be lost or won on Values.
Be firm and honest on Family, Moral Values, Life, Human Embryo protection against Genetic Manipulations dangerous for all Humankind, while also strongly advocating an active and intelligent Foreign Policy, able to "win the Hearts and Minds of the People" in many countries accross the World, in parallel with a strong and able Military focused on its main tasks, added to Fair Tax cuts, Citizens' Freedom and Security, an innovative Health policy, and support for access to Education, (etc), is a really efficient recipe in order to bring back to the Polls People who used to abstain, and even attract a large part of Popular Vote in front of Dem's nose...
=> Only Mike can do that all, uniting together sincere Conservatives while attracting also simple People from everywhere.
Whatever the qualities of other candidates might be, it's enought to watch a comparative TV emission, in order to understant immediately that Governon Mike Huckabee has an rare charismatic personality, which is the 2008 US Presidential Election's only real revelation.
Nobody else can unite real Conservatives and Value-oriented People (who emerged from the 2004-2005 electoral struggles), with a large number of simple and honest American People from various horizons.
Slanderous lies, Sly Oppression of Freedom of Expression, or Dirty Cheating by a few cowards, only dishonors them and makes Truth look even more bright : F.ex. all that balderdash false claims accusing Mike to be too soft on illegal immigration, were proved to be, in fact, dirty smear and lies.
Such dirty aggressions are probably due to the fact that former Kerry's Bio-Tech lobby pro-Cloning and pro-Genetic Manipulation on Human Embryo attempts to hide its dark motives, dangerous for all Humankind, behind anything else, including lies...
In fact, Mike Huckabee personifies the New, Value-oriented Conservative line, which started to emerge and unexpectedly win, at first, at the November 2004 US Presidential Election. As many guessed, after 2005 hard but useful struggles, the 2008 US Presidential Election is the Natural development of this fresh movement, the only able to motivate a large Majority of simple and honest American People, while also attracting sympathy and Friends Worldwide.
=> If GOP realy wants to win these elections, Mike is the obvious answer.
Otherwise, it will be limited into looking upon Hillary and Obama, with their Kerry flip-flop fans...
F. ex. : http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=26591&page=2 http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/30434.html
Value-oriented conservatives have been around and influencing Presidential elections since LONG BEFORE 2004. You may have it right that Huckabee is the only candidate for whom many value-oriented people such as myself will vote, but there are lots of other conservatives who will never vote for him. So regardless, I think we need to face the cold, hard reality: since the GOP cannot seem to produce a viable candidate who is acceptable to both social and other conservative factions, the Dems are almost certain to win.
raising taxes to pay for “hope”
Apt poster name for the post.
Thanks, it made my day...
OOops- perhaps you misunderstood before posting.
This is a conservative website.
Conservative....snort.
At least he’s not McCAin. Then again he seems to want to be McCain’s veep.
Huckabee has fibbed one too many times to court the honest people vote. I know, he always comes up with some lame excuse after the fact, but he just doesn’t seem to honest to me.
As opposed to Romney’s hypocritical attacks:
from real clear politics:
John McCain is certainly out of sync with the Republican base on immigration, and he’s taken his share of heat for it. But it takes an awful lot of chutzpah for Mitt Romney to attack McCain yesterday in New Hampshire as “pro-amnesty,” when Romney is on record just two years ago explicitly describing McCain’s position as not being “amnesty.”
This is an issue that came up in one of the debates, and Romney tried to defend his about face on McCain and immigration reform by launching into purposefully detailed and mind-numbing discussion about the “Z Visa” provision of the bill.
It’s one thing to switch positions on an issue. It’s something else to then turn around and attack people for holding the same position you just held.
Immigration is a potent issue among Republican voters everywhere, so perhaps Romney’s attack will work. On the other hand, the attack is so transparently hypocritical it plays directly into the core vulnerability that is undermining Romney’s entire candidacy: that he’ll say whatever he needs to and change his stance on any position he feels is necessary to win the Republican nomination.
Hey all these guys are not conservative. Huck x’ed himself out with me by his immigration history. A signature on a piece of paper means as much to me as George Bush I’s , “read my lips, no new taxes pledge”.
I am not happy with our choices this time, gut feeling for me is to vote for Paul, he may be a kook, but he is probably more honest.
I am not a wealthy person, I cannot afford to be taxed to pay for all of these illegals in this country. I also value our sovereignty.
I as am disappointed as you are. Truth is, the border is lost, we are going to get a Democrat. None of our candidates can unite this pary. The GOP has botched it.
what with all the fairy tale and fantasy postings?
More, if you like.
“JOSEPH PERKINS THE UNION-TRIBUNE
Debate immigration issue, not each side’s integrity
February 18, 2005
Idon’t consider myself a “racist” or a “bigot.” But Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee apparently does.
Because I happen to see the merit of a measure, proposed by two Arkansas state lawmakers, that would require anyone registering to vote in the Razorback State to prove citizenship and anyone applying for state services to prove legal residency.
To Huckabee’s mind, anyone who supports such a law has succumbed to “race-baiting and demagoguery.” That would include yours truly. It also would include a majority of my fellow California residents.
Indeed, in 1994, nearly 60 percent of voters in the Golden State approved a ballot measure that denied state benefits to illegal aliens. Proposition 187 even mustered a third of the state’s Latino vote. “

“Value-oriented Conservative”
Is that sort of like a liberal?
Beware : You’ve just named US President GWBush , who brillantly won his November 2004 re-election thanks to an unexpected, last-minute move by more than 3 Million of People motivated mainly by Values.
i think they meant simple minded..
Wow. The venom around here for anyone who dares think Huck is the best left in the race is really something. It kind of reminds me of the comments made toward Willard supporters just a few weeks ago. Things sure do change quickly! I’d just as soon save insults like these for Hillary and Obama. But what do I know?

Nod. Well, at least you haven’t bought into the pretense that we have a conservative in Romney to vote for.

Exactly! The “group think” here at Free Republic is ridiculous. I questioned Fred Thompson’s desire and ability to win for months — said we needed to give time and money to Hunter to hedge our bets and make sure we had a conservative in the race to support — and got flamed for it repeatedly by the group thinkers. Now they seem to have decided that the guy they all knew wasn’t a true conservative two weeks ago suddenly is . . . It’s wierd.
I am against the illegals overrunning this country so I am a racist and bigot according to huckleberry.
feh.
; by dynachrome (Immigration without assimilation means the death of this nation...)
Illegal and disproportionate “Immigration without Integration” would “kill” ANY Nation in the World. Nobody wants that (except from a few Lib Dems who abuse it as a way to distance themselves from Middle-class People, condemned to bad Schools, neighborhoods, etc).
=> If you are really against that, then, Governor Mike Huckabee is YOUR real choice :
>>> Simply because he’s the only one who can be FIRM (See his website), while also giving a chance to honest Kids who really want and are able to work hard in order to be integrated in the American Society, become real Americans, as all our ancestors did !
Mike was the only candidate to be largely applauded by ALL GOP People, whatever their preferences, when he said his famous word, at that 2007 comparative TV emission which boosted his Presidential campaign unexpectedly high.
“while also giving a chance to honest Kids who really want and are able to work hard in order to be integrated in the American Society, become real Americans, as all our ancestors did !”
Bull. In state tuition for illegals is what the huckster is for.
Illegals who are not assimilating.
Illegals that are committing crime after crime, starting with false ID.
Spin away, shill, it ain’t working.
