Did you notice NPR never mentioned Huck’s “Williw Horton” problem. If they did I missed it.
LOL. I agree.
Huckaboob whining is hilarious, too.
Like "who do you think *you* are to merit attention, Sarah Palin?" LOL.
Well, pardoning criminals is not a problem for the folks at NPR. Incarceration, OTOH.
No, Hickaboob is the right guy for the Left and for Obama, because he would NOT ignite TEA Party patriots or conservatives.
You are right. But NPR isn’t the only entity pimping the Huckster; FOX has been shoving him — and Newt — in my face far too much.
Mike Huckabee Wonders Why Sarah Palin Gets So Much Attention
And Bigg Red wonders why the Huckster doesn’t STHU.
You know, it is an interesting proposition about whether or not she is electable. It is a high risk, tremendous potential opportunity for republicans. I simply do not know the answer to whether she can be elected or not.
Huckabee is just another empty suit in a long line of “It’s My Turn!” political good old boys who think that time spent warming a chair qualifies them to be President. It’s those same, over-due for the retirement home turds who fought Goldwater and Reagan and now they want to fight Sarah because she’s doesn’t have her Skull & Bones ring.
Maybe if Huckabee and the other pretenders had been willing to take the fight to Obama.
Sarah Palin has done just that. She's earned her position.
Just exactly where are these legions of Huck fans. The Huckster is being kept afloat by the ballast of the Democrat sponsored PPP polls and puff pieces from Dem agitprop outlets like NPR, Politico and the Washington (Com)Post. He isn’t tied with Sarah Palin. In a GOP primary with Palin, he would liquefy like lard hitting the frying pan. She would destroy him just on the basis of her far superior political skills, charisma and character, but inevitably, his pardons and big government nannystatism (which the MSM has blacked out for no, so much do they want to promote him) would get great scrutiny and he would quickly sink to an asterisk.
He was a player in 2008 against a bunch of nobody losers and lazies. He flew under the radar screen for nearly the whole campaign and got little to no scrutiny. This time, he would be filleted over the pardon issue, slit from belly to brisket.
And Sarah Palin ain’t Fred Thompson or McCain or even Rudy.....she is a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.
Come on in Huck. I for one would be happy to see her dispatch you and your traveling medicine show.
Why do you have to name call?
ROFL. You guys have to read another gem by Brices Crossroads!
BC, you’re so right. Huckaboob was not scrutinized in ‘08. The big glob flew under the radar and he’s got added baggage this time around. Just ask Washington state families of slain law enforcement officers.
LOL. He could whine about her on his Saturday night TV show... that would get him some attention.
Charlie Rangel is a 2nd Division Vet too. Small world!~
I understand Huck is building a $3 million swankienda in FL with the mortgage to boot. How's he going to do that and run without the Fox gig?
PPP can prop him up all they want like they did in MO today showing him and Palin with a combined 52% (27 Huck, 25 Palin and nobody else close). I don't think he's running.
I doubt he can make it, unfortunately he can do some damage.
It is not just that he is soft on crime, Onyx. Huckabee’s commitment to prolife issues is not rock solid either, and this is not widely known.
Huckabee bragged about putting a liberal judge, Lavenski R. Smith, on the Arkansas Supreme Court, and getting him Promoted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (one level below the Supreme Court. Smith has not only been soft on criminals on search and seizure issues, and pro-quota on racial issues, BUT HAS VOTED TO ALLOW POLICE TO CENSOR SIGNS OF PEACEFUL PROLIFE DEMONSTRATORS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY IF THE POLICE DEEM THEM OFFENSIVE!!:
From an interview on August 3, 2007 outlining hte type of judge he favored:
Governor Huckabee: You know, I looked for people who embodied those very things I just mentioned. A commitment to a strict constructionist view of their job, viewed the Constitution as something that they were simply to apply, not to reinterpret and rewrite. But I also looked for people who embodied the kind of temperament that we needed on the bench, who would, uh, divorce themselves and distance themselves from their own personal passions in the sense of letting their emotions drive them, but [instead] letting the Constitution drive them. And, uh, the kind of people I appointed certainly ended up, uh, for example, one I can think of, that I put on the State Supreme Court…President Bush appointed him to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. An outstanding young jurist named Lavenski Smith that I’ve known since I was in grade school. And he’s a person that embodies the kind of person we need on the bench, he, uh, has a deep respect for God, for this country and its Constitution, and, uh, almost approaches his job with a sense of fear and trembling, to make sure that he does it in such a way that he has a clear conscience.
What kind of judge is Lavenski Smith? In a critique of his record on the Arkansas Supreme Court, Before Huckabee secured his appointment to the federal appeals court, the Bench and Bar of Minnesota, the official publication of the Minnesota State Bar Association said the following:
“Since joining the court, Judge Smith has authored approximately 100 majority opinions, two concurring opinions, and seven dissenting opinions. His opinions appear to place him slightly to the left of center on the court ideologically, but with some unpredictability. He has dissented three times in search-and-seizure cases, each time taking the position that investigating officers did not comply with the 4th Amendment. He also joined an en banc dissent favoring the suppression of a criminal defendant’s confession on the ground it was involuntary. In employment discrimination cases, he has written a dissenting opinion to oppose a remittitur from $200,000 to $10,000,10 and he has joined in an en banc dissent that took the position that an employee could prove a claim of race discrimination in a promotion even though he never formally applied for the position.”
On the Eighth Circuit, he has continued as a moderate liberal according to conservative legal commentator Hans Bader at the Scotus blog:
“Lavenski Smith has turned out to be ever-so- slightly left-of-center on the Eighth Circuit, left of that Circuit’s center on race discrimination claims, and willing to uphold some restrictions on anti-abortion signs (that latter fact is surprising given his pre-judicial litigation work with the Rutherford Institute). Despite his once conservative background, he now seems to be a moderate with some liberal tendencies.”
In the abortion case, Frye v. Kansas City Mo. Police Department,375 F.3d 785 (8thCir. 2004), Judge Smith joined the other liberals on the court in voting to allow police to arrest peaceful prolife demonstrators assembled on public property and to effectively censor their prolife signs, with impunity, if the police deemed the contents of the signs to be offensive.
Do the evangelicals in Iowa know that, if they vote for Huckabee, this is the kind of judge they would get?

Yes, this article mentions his new Flordia hacienda and the though that his residency might even help him carry the state...lol.
Huckaboob is greedy. He left preaching for the “higher calling” of politics, doncha know, so I figure he plans to run, and then write another “behind the scenes” book and try to get back on Fox or maybe CNN where he’ll be more at home.
Amen to that!!!
Ha! Excellent research by you, (again). Sarah Palin will have plenty of ammo if Huckabee wants a shoot-out....lol.
Those Evangelicas for Huck in Iowa are the ones that believe a woman belongs in the home, raising her children and generally speaking,I'm down with that, but that life is not for all women and certainly not for Sarah and Todd Palin! There's a poster here with a blog who's also from Iowa and happens to be one of those preachers, so he's against Sarah Palin (Neanderthal) was included in one of his postings). t-dude is right about that certain segment of Evangelicas, but I'm sure they're not the majority. Sarah Palin has a huge following of Christian/Evangelica women... and men.
