It's amazing, Mike Huckabee is one of the few politicians who would give the time of day to FR,
Gov. Huckabee's Thank you Letter to FReeper
and yet by some on FR they in mindless hyperbolic posts basically compare him to the plague.
JMO, some FReepers prove the axioms of "fair weather friends" and "no good deed goes unpunished" and also "watch your back", very true.

Therefore we know how to assess your “opinion” there Michael...
Now, if you look at all the responses in this thread, about a third are comments on Paris Hilton and her fake chest. What does that tell you about our “conservative” focus?
People need to pay attention to this race now because Dane started this thread to ask what was wrong with Huckabee. My answer is everything. Call it gut reaction or woman’s intuition, there is something so not right about Huckabee. It’s like he calculates every single word. I can’t even clearly define it, but he is just plain wrong. And people are going to get fooled by him. PAY ATTENTION. HUCKSTER IS NO CONSERVATIVE.
Well why didn't you show him out the door at the FR gatherings.This comment makes no sense at all. Not supporting someone for president isn't the same as kicking them out of a gathering.
I'm sure he's a likeable enough guy in person. For that matter, Bill Clinton probably is too. But I don't want either of them as POTUS.
Sola, I just implore you to reconsider. I think Huckabee will be a very poor choice that will split the GOP in the long run and possibly even the short run. He is certainly well-spoken and charismatic, but unfortunately wrong (in my opinion) on these other issues you are dismissing as not that important to you. Why compromise on these other issues when you don't have to?
If the glove fit, she did not spit..........

Us pop-cultural illiterates have to stick together.
BTW, Paris Hilton isn't just a place to stay in France's capitol. :)
If Paul Revere acted like Corsi he would have ridden thru Boston yelling that aliens from Roswell, New Mexico were invading.
DING! DING! DING! We have a Dane Race Card sighting!
Please learn the meaning of this word: ILLEGAL. Those who base their business models on hiring ILLEGAL immigrants are doing something ILLEGAL. Those Governors who propose giving benefits to people here ILLEGALLY are encouraging and abetting ILLEGAL acts. American taxpayers are tired of supporting ILLEGAL residents, who use public services ILLEGALLY.
Trying to tar those who oppose ILLEGALITY with the racist label won't work anymore. That deck of cards is tattered and we can spot it when you are dealing from the bottom of it.
Huckabee is a nanny-stater, compassionate conservative on steroids. He would split the GOP just as bad as Rudy would drive away the socons, Huckabee would drive away the fiscal conservatives and libertarians.
“however, I have become so emotional that I am leaning towards legalizing all illegal immigrants because I feel sorry for them.”
That’s nice. Why don’t YOU help them, feed them, pay their medical bills, incarceration costs, etc. Do you feel sorry for your 25 fellow American citizens killed every day by them?

Good post...
Have the words “Path to Citizenship” e’er passed his lips?
“LOL! Well why didn’t you show him out the door at the FR gatherings.
You all are amazing, in either backstabbing or just total ignorance.”
There’s no need to be impolite and I would think most Freepers would try and refrain from being rude to a guest. It’s strange that you equate manners with backstabbing. Is that common where you come from?
Travis McGee: “The Huckster never ever mentioned securing the border in his life, until just recently as a candidate when he started taking heat for his long-time pro-amnesty, open borders stance.”
That was why I added the disclaimer after my statement that Huckabee would build the wall. It might be another case like Bush where the wall is built very...very slowly.
I’m not convinced Huckabee will crack down on illegal immigration, his present campaign promises notwithstanding.
