Apparently, small government Republicans
[Huckabee’s] aides are wary of New Hampshire. “It’s all no tax, no government there,” said Bob Wickers, a top strategist. “It’s not ideal.”
But they believe that the message of economic anxiety that he preaches will help in Michigan’s primary on Jan. 15 and in states in the South, which have high poverty rates in addition to strong groups of social conservatives.”
Mike Huckabee is skipping New Hampshire because it’s too fiscally conservative.
Instructive, yes?
Huckabee’s brand of identity politics is as dangerous as anyone else’s - after nearly eight years of a fiscally liberal Republican president, the issues of low taxation and spending ought to be on the top of every Republican primary voter’s list. Each GOP primary candidate is going to appoint conservative judges. Many, such as Fred Thompson, are true principled federalists. Governor Huckabee’s main distinction is that he does not seem interested in limiting the power of the central government, but perversely, has plans to enhance it. No matter your social purpose, widening the influence of Washington, DC is never the right answer.
The Huckster skips a state because they are considered “too conservative”, yet are polling in favo of McCain?
The Huckster is showing just how lib he is.
He’s our John Edwards meets Barack Hussein Obama.
Didn’t Truman skip New Hampshire?
No it's not! It contains this bald faced LIE "Mike Huckabee is skipping New Hampshire because it’s too fiscally conservative." yet you post it here because it suits your purpose!
That is just plain dishonest!
Mike Huckabee is at his very moment campaigning HARD in New Hampshire and YOU know that!
Hucky is an idiot, what a dumb thing to say, just because New Hampshire does not have sales tax, does not mean they don’t have tax money sources. Hucky the scorn, takes his few marbles and leaves New Hampshire.
WE can defeat Mike Huckabee and nominate Fred Thompson WITHOUT resorting to outright lies! THAT is my one and only point here!
“What Scares Mike Huckabee?”
The truth.
He left out “We don’t wear our religion on our sleeves” like in Iowa...
Yeah, I saw him campaogning hard on CSPAN...
He’s gave a talk about chowder-fest...and boy does he love chowdwer...and back home they have catfish-fests...
Oh and btw...Chuck Norris is here!...
(Chuck proceeded to plug his new exercise video)
ROFLOL...
I wish I was making this stuff up!
