The same reason we “fear” any liberal.

The GOP establishment fears that, should Huckabee actually win the nomination, they will lose the White House.
Legitimate concern, IMHO.

I don’t fear Huck...I just don’t trust him.

I simply can not tell you how much I am enjoying this. The GOP has been pandering to these stupid bastards for years, and every time I pointed it out I was called anti-Christian or something or other. Those of us who saw what the party was becoming were told to shut up, that it was good politics.

Imagine a democrat writing this about blacks. The author makes an assumption that evangelicals support Huckabee. To be honest I have formed an opinion yet, but I will not for any politician that talks out of both sides of his mouth. A liar is the very worst thing.

I hate headlines like this. I don’t like him. I dont know WHY, but, I don’t “fear” anyone.

The MSM would love to see the evangelicals sit out this election.
The GOP will dump Slick Mickey
because he is a liberal triangulator
and the MSM will try to convince evangelicals that
Huckabee was dumped
because he is too religious.

Social conservatives are like the GOP's blacks. They're patted on the head, thrown a few crumbs and told to stay in their place if they know what's best for them. Lo and behold - they aren't obeying the rules and the GOP establishment is in a panic. They weren't bothered by Guiliani even though he's as liberal as Huckabee since he doesn't sound like a religious fanatic. They're okay with liberal Republicans who keep God and faith safely tucked away in the closet. That's why Huckabee bothers them so much. He keeps talking all that God stuff up.

Huck is a loser...at least 40 percent of the Republican traditional base of voters...won’t vote for the guy. I can just sit here and imagine November of next year...the screen has seven red states, and 43 blue states. Huck loses big-time...and we all sit there and wonder why we had to pick Huck, and the only answer comes from the Baptists in the Republican party telling us that we needed the “right” kind of leader. Its simply not fear...its what will happen in eleven months that we really dislike.
To: Ol' Sparky
The GOP establishment loves him. We the people don't want anything to do with him.

The GOP establishment fears that, should Huckabee actually win the nomination, they will lose the White House. It should have the same fear about Giuliani and Romney. Giuliani splits the party and is unelectable. Romney has a Mormon problem, is a flip-flopper with a social liberal past and is also unelectable.

This Baptist will not vote for Huck. I don’t carry the White Guilt he does.

Sadly, there isn’t a Republican candidate that doesn’t fit that label.

Good article. The only type of candidate that can unite the party is a fiscal AND a social conservative. Money and attention shouldn’t go to anyone that doesn’t meet that criteria because they are a loser.

"Why does the GOP Establishment fear Huck?" I don't know about the GOP, but I fear Huck because he's about the only one running for the GOP nomination who Hillary can easily trounce in the Presidential Election of 2008.
Watch as the Main Stream Media tries to convince the Republican Party that Huckabee is their best choice for President, and remember that no one should ever take advice from their enemies.

Don’t fear anyone, just know a con job when I see it. And know a liberal when I see and hear then as well.

No ‘fear’ here. I just find him to be a typical Arkansas politician, and as such I can’t support him.
Personally, I don’t fear anything that walks.
