These two words are mutually exclusive.
Talk about deja vu all over again.
I heard the Huck preach during the late Dr Rogers illness at Bellevue Baptist. Good preacher, but not president material IMO.
I think it is nice that this FOB speaks out to tell the country about Huckabee. I would expect no less of good old friend of Bill and Hill. I wish he has spoken out about Slick Willy when it mattered. I expect to hear much more from these Arkansas Clinton suck ups.
So, the Huckster had his intestines taken out, and then went and wrote a book about exercise and good eating as a way to lose weight and then had his fridge filled.
Awesome. He might make it he’s so sleazy.
Last night some DNC creep was on Fox news saying how the whole Republican field was evil and abhorrent, except Huckabee, who she claimed was an honest and good alternative.
The demons and leftists want us to run Huckabee. They know the American public will never elect another corrupt Arkansas governor as president. And they know the American public will never elect a person named Huckabee as president.
They are doubly confident that if we are stupid enough to nominate a huckster named Huckabee, Hillary place as lord and master of our lives is assured.
Let’s break it down a bit.
There is the politician himself.
There is the politician they say they are, but aren’t.
There is the politician that their supporters wish to imagine they are, but arn’t.
A lot of political arguments, even here on FR, is about the second and third.
Ah but I keep reading he preaches a good sermon. I do not dare asked anybody that praises his preaching skills, what exactly he preaches, because it is just not acceptable to question a man from God.
It is considered offensive to question that worldly come to Jesus preacher that anointed the Clintons and told his people what a good leader Hillry would make.
He can't even spell it.

Huckabee promotes 'open door' policy at LULAC convention
Thursday, Jun 30, 2005

LITTLE ROCK - In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.
"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...," Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.
Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.
About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.
Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.
He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state's capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation. "Your gathering is so very significant for our state," Huckabee said. "We are delighted to have you."
Despite several light moments, Huckabee did not stray away from several controversial issues that made him a target of criticism during the recently ended 85th General Assembly. He said Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity "in culture, in language and in population."
"This is an issue that is going to require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border, particularly those coming from Mexico," Huckabee said of verifying the status of illegal aliens. "But I am confident that our government will recognize that we should accommodate people who wish to provide the best opportunities for their families (and) employers so that we can make sure our economy has the necessary work force."
During the legislation session, Huckabee criticized an immigration bill by Republican senators Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life. Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later to Huckabee's comments that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.
Funny how that works. People really do judge based on how a person's name sounds. Sometimes it seems people perform up to or down to their name. If Gretzky had somehow been named Huckabee, would there ever have been a Great Huckabee? Somehow I doubt it.
“He went to bat with higher-ups to make me a columnist.
He can’t even spell it.”
I guess I missed that. How do YOU spell “columnist”?

Sixteen presidents have last names ending in n, and numerous world leaders have too; and musicians and sports figures. But not so many news anchors, in fact only one.
Giving an edge to Thompson, Richardson, and Clinton...and Biden!
In this case, C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T.
I love explaining my jokes.
Got it. It’s still early here in the Left Coast. Happy Leftovers Day!
