Mitt Romney stepped up his attacks on GOP rival Mike Huckabee on Saturday, saying his statements that the Bush administration's policies overseas demonstrate an "arrogant bunker mentality" sound like they're coming from a Democrat.
Huckabee wrote the comments in the January-February issue of the journal Foreign Affairs, where he said President Bush's approach has been "counterproductive" and urged a shift in diplomatic tone.
"I had to look again," Romney said in Humboldt, Iowa. "I said, 'Did this come from Barack Obama? Or from Hillary Clinton? Did it come from John Edwards?' No. It was one of our own. It was Gov. Huckabee.
"He said the Bush administration is guilty of an 'arrogant bunker mentality' that has been counterproductive here and abroad. I simply can't believe that. I can't believe he'd say that. I'm afraid he's running for the wrong party. The truth of the matter is this president's kept us safe these last six years."

Put that on your list list. Address it to Santa, North Pole. That should do it.
Yo Mike, your supposed to wait until AFTER you get the Republican nomination to make such idiotic statements appealing to the Rat base.

If anything, I like Huckabee less than Paul. He's at the bottom of my list. :)
I just about died a few years ago when Nancy Reagan was basically saying Bush was too conservative and pointing to his stance on Pro Life. The Reagans as wonderful as they were were not staunch Pro lifers, nor did they do all they could to stand against Roe v Wade and to push in a new direction. Whihc s what is is, but to call someone a liar because they point this out is just mean spirited and denial. I am not saying what Reagan should have done, but I am pointing out what his actions tell me. Once again. The vote that stopped it all in the Supreme Court over and over again . . . Sandra Day O'Connor. A Reagan appointee.
Nope. I just find it hilarious to see Willard complaining about another candidates criticism of a conservative president, since Willard LIED about Ronald Reagan’s pro-life record.
I'm not talking about "the Reagans," I'm talking about Ronald Reagan. Willard claimed Reagan was "adamantly pro-choice." That's a LIE.
I like Fred (same with Romney), but what is his game plan? His polls were higher before he announced he was running in September.
Okay. McCain has had his chance, Romney has had his chance, and Huck has had his chance.
Fred, Dunc, .... you fellas are up next. I’m looking for somebody capable of learning from other people’s mistakes.
Brave to defend the most hated man in the world.
Good for Romney....to hell with Huckabee.
BTW, anyone notice that when you hit spell-check, it wants to correct Hunkabee to “Chickadee”. Seems to fit him more with each passing day.
"Great news Senator! Tuesday's results give Huckabee a lock on their nomination"
Preacher Huckabee will pardon Osama as soon as he is caught
in order to get away from “arrogance” of Bush. I like this guy
LESS every time I hear him speak. But just in case republicans
are dumb enough to nominate him (with a lot of crossover votes
by the demorats)
I will hold my nose and vote for him. You won’t catch me dead voting for
Barack or Hillary or Johnny boy.
There is no "if."
That business was settled long ago. They are just putting on a show right now.
I think Reagan started out as pro-choice during his Hollywood days.
My understanding is he later became pro-life. I could be wrong on this.
Was never “adamantly pro-choice.”
Was never “adamantly pro-choice.”
