If You Had to Choose: Huckabee vs. Romney?

After being tempted into not going to vote, Romney or maybe the choke, Libertarian.

If one seeks a second Latin America these two men will get the job done.

[hecht]

O like them both / but too many bigots would not vote Huck because he is “too churchy”

[RichInOC]

Romney. But for various reasons, I think it’s unlikely to come down to that choice.

[born2bfree]

I held my nose and voted for McCain because of Palin. I will not be doing that again.

Romney is like Scott Brown, look at what he has done and said. He may be “electable”, but you won’t like what you get.

Huckabee may be a “conservative”, but he is not a constitutional conservative. It will take a constitutional conservative to get my vote.

If the Republicans cannot field a acceptable candidate then I will be looking third party. I will not hold my nose again.

I’d go with Huckabee with those two choices. I like Huckabee. I dislike Romney. Huckabee is straightforward at least relative to Romney. Romney is a lying power hungry snake — if being pro-abortion, pro-socialized medicine helps him, he does it. And vice versa. Romney won’t act in a principled way and we need actual hard decisions to be made, implemented, defended against the apparent odds, and then political victory when we see the hard changes working. Romney is not the man, he’ll go with the polls. I don’t know what Huckabee would do.

As with everyone else in this thread - NEITHER, but since I don’t think the Country can stand 0bama or Hildabeast, it would come down to who the VP Candidate was and how much real influence they would have.

Brilliant

The huckster gave illegals instate tuition in Arkansas and Mitt is willing to implement ‘comprehensive immigration reform’(amnesty). Neither.

[Envisioning]

Either one will get you 4 more years of the mooselimb man-child.

Running total thus far 13 shakey votes for Romney, 1 vote for Huck, a few threats of disolving citizenship and an avalanche of suicide threats.

[dangus]

OOooh, tough choice. Romney seems much smarter, but Huck seems less the crusading leftist. Can I go half way? (Indiana?)

did you miss #14?

I don’t think Romney knows anything about economics

[Padams]

I agree with you. Romney did a lousy job in Mass.

I accepted the premise of the question- Huck or Mitt. The question is like the game that Glenn Beck advertises where you just choose between the 2 hypothetical choices. Would you rather have X or Y?

As I stated above, my answer IRL is none of the above.

I have that cartoon posted prominantly in my office. LOL!

In all seriousness, if it comes down to those two, about half of the voters will stay home...I know I will.

Those two refugees from the clowns hall of fame are about as worthless as juan mccain't.

Romney, a GOP Elite cocktail waitress would would serve a lap dance to his GOP "betters" on demand.

Huckabee, a rube who will attract only hard-line Bible belt, single-issue voters and bass guitar players.

Accusations of voters suffering from one phobia or another abound these days, but the GOP establishment suffers from "MamaGrizzlyPhobia"...a fear of women taking offices away from the men in the GOP political arena.

Without some severe ballot box stuffing, it's doubtful that any conservative will win the White House without the blessing of the TPM (and the womens' vote), and these two bobbleheads have been critical of the TPM since it started, or, at least tried to take credit for its formation.

So - IMHO - if conservatives want to make a GRAVE mistake and end up with obama or hillary as president, then go ahead and support Captain Hairspray or Gomer Huckaby.

If I had to pick one, with no other option, I would pick Huckabee. Romney is not a conservative. He imposed the failed state wide mandatory insurance program in Massachusetts. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

No politician who is truly conservatrive can EVER rise to the top in Massachusetts. A good example is Brown. More conservative than the rest, but not really a conservative.

Romney will give us the same thing we have had all the years of the Bush regimes; Democrat Lite.

I would rather bet on Huckabee.

[Patrsup]

I have to agree with you about your thoughts on these two losers - I will not stay home but will write my own name in on the ballot - I served so I can vote - I’ll just vote for myself.

[Ocarterma]

I like your mind.
