Hey, Tax Hike Mike! Want some cheese to go with that whine?

[3AngelaD]

Isn’t the word in this headline actually spelled “feller?”

[stephenjohnbanker]

Huckabee has had a free ride from the the MSM....hell a free ride from all media!!

[mewzilla]

Huckabee, grow up and quit whining like a democrat.

He sure pardons like one....

Arkansas clemencies outpace other states

[Hoodlum91]

He plays the victim very well. Just want we want in a President.

[bolobaby]

Hrm. I was thinking about supporting Huckabee, but the more I read, the less I like.

I may shift to Thompson. I just wish he didn’t have this “all I have to do is show up” attitude. Get some fire in that belly, Fred!

Love to be able to support Hunter, but that’s just not going to happen. I need to boost the poll numbers of a candidate that can take Rudy and Mitt out of the top spots (although I respect Mitt a bit more after The Speech).

Huckabee thinks he’s got it harder than Romney on religion? Is he serious?

Huckabee doesn't have it "harder" in the sense that being a Baptist isn't generally perceived as the obstacle being a Mormon is.

However, Huckabee is right in saying that he is grilled far tougher on religious doctrine than anyone else, especially Romney. Can you imagine the howls of outrage if Romney was subjected to half the doctrine scrutiny by the MSM that Huckabee is?

[Badeye]

His fifteen minutes of political viability are just about up.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It is sad when the right is reduced to the left’s “he’s dumb” tactics.

[lapster]

Huckabee strikes me as three parts Jimmy Carter and two parts Bill Clinton. And, I might add, they’re the worst parts of each.

[jonrick46]

"I’ve seen a lot of dumb come out of his mouth the last two days."

Interesting way of saying it. However, this goes with the typical bigotry from the left concerning conservatives. They think we are Bible thumping yahoos from fly-over country with hay seed in our mouths and gun-racks in our pick up trucks. We are the low edge of the Bell Curve on the lower edge of evolutionary development. Of course, when we talk, you can see what we say because our cleft lip allows spit to shoot all over those we talk to. Uh huh. . . Drooooool.

[caltrop]

I’m not a Huckabee supporter but I’m inclined to agree with him. All candidates should be subject to the same degree of scrutiny about their religion if they profess it an important part of their lives. IIRC, Lieberman’s run for the Democratic nomination for President in 2004 wasn’t accompanied by any measurable degree of scrutiny regarding his religion’s influence on what would have been his conduct of our foreign policy in the Middle East, for example.

[Gabz]

Oh for crying out loud.

I realize the first 3 letters are the same but I will be voting for a PREsident, not a PREacher and I am sick and bloody tired of all this crapola over the “religion” of any and all of the candidates.

[RobRoy]

Like Kerry wondering why the press made a big deal about his Vietnam days? ;)

Yer right.

[Biblebelter]

I’ve never heard the kind of interviews with him that I got from Bill O’Reilly or Wolf Blitzer.

What a wuss! He needs to see that Tom Hanky movie where he says "There is no crying in baseball." Mikey, when you have have been interviewed by Wolfie Blitzer, that ain't no crying as well. Because there ain't no crying in softball either!

[lesser_satan]

Huckabee:As long as everyone gets the same scrutiny. That’s what I don’t think is fair: I’ve been given an unusual level of scrutiny. No candidate gets quizzed to the depth that I do about faith.

LOL, what a steaming pantload. The ONLY reason anybody is paying attention to him at all is because he's been able to pawn himself off as some moral giant because he was a preacher.

What a fraud.

The REAL Mike Huckabee

[WOSG]

He told Liberty university folks that God was behind the rise in his poll numbers.

[GunRunner]

Huckabee:As long as everyone gets the same scrutiny. That’s what I don’t think is fair: I’ve been given an unusual level of scrutiny. No candidate gets quizzed to the depth that I do about faith.

Maybe its because people want to know if you really believe the Earth is 6,000 years old.

[trisham]

Huckabee, grow up and quit whining like a democrat.

*****************

That might be difficult, since for the most part, he IS a Democrat.

[ReignOfError]

Huckabee: He hasn’t gotten nearly as much for his Mormonism as I have for being a Baptist.

That's past being a difference of opinion and well into "what color is the sky on your world?" I near ay mention of Romney, especially surrounding his speech yesterday, without the phrase "first Mormon president." If Huckabee were to be elected, he'd be the third Baptist president in a row.

It's kind of amusing when people who dominate all the positions of influence, power and profit in America cry about being oppressed.

[SoConPubbie]

Now, I am hardly a Mitt Romney fan. In fact, I can’t stand him, but come on… Huckabee thinks he’s got it harder than Romney on religion? Is he serious? The guy who has campaign ads that refer to him as the “Christian Leader” and cameos by Chuck Norris now thinks the media’s after his religion. Get over yourself, Huckabee.

Huckabee playing the victim!

This guy is so like Clinton it is scary!
