Huck's for Huck – Paul's for America (WND Ilana Mercer )

Phyllis Schlafly, conservatism's "first lady," had this to say about presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: "He destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas and left the Republican Party a shambles, yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a 'compassionate conservative' are now trying to sell us on Huckabee."

"He has zero intellectual underpinnings in the conservative movement," another of Huckabee's countless conservative detractors told the Wall Street Journal's John Fund. "He's hostile to free trade, hiked sales and grocery taxes, backed sales taxes on Internet purchases, and presided over state spending going up more than twice the inflation rate."

"[Huckabee] was pro-life and pro-gun, but otherwise a liberal," reveals Betsy Hagan. The Arkansas director of the conservative Eagle Forum was a key backer of Huckabee's early runs for office, and was once "his No. 1 fan," explains Fund. Hagan now cautions that, "Just like Bill Clinton [Huckabee] will charm you, but don't be surprised if he takes a completely different turn in office."

Very smart lady, that Phyllis Schlafly.

WND has been spewing out a lot of pro Huckbee stuff lately, she really sets them strait on his actual record. I have to say I sometimes really question the true conservative ideology of some of these evangicals and pure social conservatives, it often doesn't seem to be rooted in much.

As for Ron Paul............................................

[pissant]

She is some nice eye candy.

Nicknamed "Dr. No" for voting against all legislation that isn't expressly authorized by the Constitution, Ron Paul has never voted for an unbalanced budget; never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership; never voted to increase the power of the executive branch; and never taken a government-paid junket.

Ron Paul is also a real patriot, believing that the US should fight wars for US interests, not some foreign country's.

If only those in power were so well-disciplined.

don't be surprised if he takes a completely different turn in office.

That also applies to all the other "conservatives of convenience" who are running: Giuliani, Romney, McCain.

“I have to say I sometimes really question the true conservative ideology of some of these evangicals and pure social conservatives, it often doesn’t seem to be rooted in much.”

Other than an overwhelming desire to use government to enforce their ideas about how people should live their lives, not much. ;)

Now about your new tag line, 2nd. The word Fact is now spelled D-I-R-T? :)

[freekitty]

I wouldn’t vote for Huck if you tied me to a stake. He is full of hot air; just like Hitlery.

[RabidBartender]

I’d vote for Huck. This one, anyway.

[freekitty]

No way. We don’t need more Rinos in office.

[freekitty]

Am I clued in or what? You mean our Huck. LOL Sorry. I thought it was a shortcut name for Huckabee.

Other than his history of being progun, he sounds just like the Romnoid.

[George W. Bush]

The lady is pretty tough on ol' Huck there.

Her comparisons of Ron Paul were much briefer and drew a sharp contrast for Religious Right voters. Essentially, she is challenging the election of Pope Huckabee by the evangelicals in the Values Voters coalition.

Whether you agree with her or not, she does know how to write political polemics. Very spirited and she doesn't try to hide her biases.

Is that Phyllis Schlafly when she was younger?
