PBS Newshour | October 5, 2007 | Huckabee interview with Margaret Warner
MARGARET WARNER: Now, you have won all kinds of accolades as a governor, small g, as a manager. You were once named by Time magazine as one of the five top five governors in the country. Do you think that's what the American voters are looking for in a president?
MIKE HUCKABEE: I think they want somebody who really believes in something and can stand by it and articulate it, but they do want somebody who is a competent manager, a pragmatic person who understands that you're not elected to be an ideologue and stand on the steps of the Capitol and just make speeches. They want you to be able to solve real problems that touch them every day.
So being a governor is a great advantage. You've run a government. You've balanced a budget. You've had to do things for which there were measurable results. People could see: Were schools better? Were roads better? Was health care better? Did we bring more jobs than we lost? Those are measurable things that I think best prepare someone to be president.
Yeah...and I'm the Easter Bunny.
Hit the bricks...
If Dick Morris says so, it can’t be true.
LOL, you must be a paid pimp for the this fraud!
No he’s not.
Did you see Rasmussens new Iowa poll released today?
Huckabee now leads Romney, followed by Rudy with Thompson in fourth.
The power of the MSM is amazing. No wonder the country is so screwed up.
OOPS, posted #13 to wrong person, sorry about that.
Still wishing the huckster wuld just go away.
But how is Huckster on toe-sucking ?
“Mike Huckabee? As governor, he never saw a tax increase he didn’t love. He presided over a massive increase in state spending, including an expansion of Medicaid, and approved increases in the sales, income, and cigarette taxes. On its annual governor’s report card, Cato gave him an “F” for fiscal policy. Most Democratic governors received higher grades.”
Sickening.
Only Ron Paul and Rudy rank lower than the Huckster in my book.
Romney I could handle rather easily. Rudy and Huck, if I had to, I’d vote for them in the general.
Ron Paul OTOH...I’d either vote for him or shoot myself, not sure which is less painful.
Sorry. Fox has already debunked this lie. Seen the video.
