Miami Herald ^ | 9/28/07 | Steve Thomma

On Iran, he said Bush blew a chance to improve relations right after the 2001 terrorist attacks and that the United States should be talking to Iran today.

''When we first invaded Afghanistan, Iran helped, especially in dealings with their ally, the Northern Alliance,'' he said. ``They wanted to join us in fighting al Qaeda. ... The CIA and State Department supported a partnership. Some in the White House and beyond did not. And when President Bush included Iran in the axis of evil, everything went downhill pretty fast.''

``Our prestige in the world has been marred.''

Huckabee....take a hike, you moronic democrat.

[Chuck54]

Buh bye Huck.

[Dog]

Hey Mike....this won’t win you any points man.

[gun_supporter]

Wow, put my foot in my mouth. Ive been saying he was a decent guy.

No more.

[enough_idiocy]

during the recent debate he was pandering and it was obvious. clearly he’s being advised to go in a second direction. what a shame, he’s well spoken and had a shot.

[Clintonfatigued]

None of the GOP candidates are running as a continuance of Bush, nor should they. But Huckabee went so far, one can only assume he’s courting the Ron Paul vote.

I had previously posted an editorial speculating on Huckabee being the Vice Presidential nominee. In light of this speech, that’s obviously not a good idea.

[Perdogg]

I guess he is going after the Ron Paul crowd.

''This administration's bunker mentality ..."

What bunker mentality? Bush's bunker doesn't even have any walls!

[Jet Jaguar]

I going to post the exact same thing.

[DTogo]

Even with today's sour relations, he said the United States should talk to Iran and use the promise of better relations and increased trade as well as the threat of economic isolation to persuade the country to abandon its nuclear program.

...and abandon it's support of Shiite terrorists in Iraq, Syria, Hamas, Hezbullah, Chavez, turn over all terrorists within its borders, disband the Al Quds Force, release all political prisoners, pay reparations to all US servicemen and families killed maimed by it's proxy army in Iraq, allow free elections, resign, etc, etc, etc

There's more to Iran than just a nuclear program....

“Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee ripped the Bush
administration’s war against terrorism Friday, delivering a bold
and potentially risky speech that could establish the former
Arkansas governor as the maverick “

“Maverick”?
More like Moronic Panderer For Votes from Hispanic members of the
US Military.

Not the first time Huckabee has tried a shameless attempt to get
Hispanic/Latino/Illegal support!

I suspect he’d be shocked to see a majority of US Military doing
hitches in Iraq and Afghanistan saying “stay the course”,
“complete the mission” and “don’t let my buddies (OF ANY STRIPE)
die for nothing!”.

Huckabee has drunk from the same well as Bubba and Hillary!!!

At thiu rate he won’t even get the Mens Room crowd...what an idiot

[navyguy]

Its a damn shame. I was solidly behind the guy. Now... I’m not so sure. Suggesting that we talk to Iran is completely off the table with me. And the ‘world opinion’ rhetoric is straight out of the Liberal playbook.

Thanks for the heads up.

Huckabee, a Republican who is considering a run for president in 2008, said Arkansas has made progress on racial justice and has a fresh opportunity to do the right thing in the way it welcomes the growing Hispanic population. "One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We're still paying the price for the pathetic manner in which this country handled that," (by people who wanted cheap labor!)Huckabee said at a meeting of the Political Animals Club in Little Rock. The club meets monthly to hear from political figures and experts. "I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before," Huckabee said.

This idiot is a republican?

[tet68]

Nope, “President Huckabee” just doesn’t quite sound right.

[ansel12]

“Wow, put my foot in my mouth. Ive been saying he was a decent guy.”

You must not have seen his race pandering last night, when he was throwing the Republican party under the bus.

[#1CTYankee]

Ron Paul Re-do.

Get a life Mike.

To think I thought he would be someone I would back a year ago, not a chance now.

[mountainfolk]

Speaking of President Bush blowing chances, Mike Huckabee has, IMO, blown whatever residual chance he had of being a meaningful political figure in Arkansas. The RATS have all of the candidates they need and the only route for Republicans is up so we will look for candidates who are committed Republicans to run for office. I will not vote for a person who tries to climb the political ladder on the back of good, decent, fellow Republicans. I especially abhor Republicans who cater to the the quote, Worldview.

[LibFreeOrDie]

Huckabee’s been criticizing Republicans by name for months, which is why I never considered him.

He should spend his time attacking the Dems.
