Glad Rush exposed the Huckster today though, classic. God bless Rush. I'm going to join his 24/7 subscription. Rush is doing a great thing , saving the Republic and freedom from this Huckster. Check out Rush's web site to get the transcript:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_122107/content/01125107.guest.htmlRush:" So Huckabee goes out and hires the DC-Manhattan axis campaign manager, who then starts ripping people like me for being part of the DC-Manhattan axis! I'm part of the Cape Girardeau-middle America axis. I grew up in Missouri! I think Rollins and his candidate need to stick to the issues. They need to stick to the record. They need to stop with this Clintonesque spinning that they're doing out there. You know, McCain's starting to look better to me than this guy -- and that's saying something! More I see what Huckster's -- Huckabee's (laughs) record was in Arkansas, there's a lot of liberalism in there. There certainly isn't a lot of Reaganism in there, and I think that the Huckabee campaign is trying to dumb down conservatism to comport with his record, and now they focus on me, challenging me on a personal level here like the libs do. I told you the other day, we had a caller that wanted to know what I thought of the Huckabee campaign. I said, "Look, I see a lot of Perot here in terms of the support that Huckabee has," and I remember back in 1992, I did everything I could. By the way, Ed Rollins worked for Perot, too. But let's go back. I said something I learned during the Perot campaign. I tried to warn people every day: "This guy is not who you think. He's not really serious about this. There's a vendetta or a something that's driving this, but he's not who you think he is. There's something about this that's not right."
I think Rush’s misses the Huckster’s real appeal. He is funny, and people like his personality. Kind of like Colbert and Stewart, the politics is secondary to their humor and personality.
Hince we have Huckabee denying his floating cross in the background of his Christmas Message. What most do not notice in the add are the three Christmas balls in the ad, depicting the Holy Trinity. Huckabee used those symbols , and lied that he had no intent to use them.
Huckabee would be our Jimmah Carter.
Not good.
Thanks for posting this. I was out for most of the day, so I missed all discussion of what Rush said. Rush is right. If anything, Huck represents the Christian left more than the Christian right - and in the end, you have to remove the similar adjective (Christian), and see where he is on the fiscal issues (left), and realize he is no conservative. I think everyone who understands Huckabee is trying to find away to explain this to Huck’s supporters in a way that won’t make them feel dumb or in a way that won’t cause them to be reactive. I hope Iowans are doing their research because a President Huckabee would be a disaster.
Could it be that many in the “christian right” actually agrees with Huckabee about taxes, govt programs,...? Thats what I think people are missing. Many of “religious right” never was on board with the economomic conservatives. They have always been “populists”, but couldnt vote for democrats because of their liberalism on social issues. Huckabee is conservative on the social issues and populist on economics; that may actually be a better fit for the RR base than even Reagan was.
If Huckabee wins the nomination you can kiss conservatism goodby for at least a few election cycles. Huckleberry will be lucky to get 40% of the vote and may not win a single state.
The republican congress will distance themselves from the Huckleberry Hindenberg and run to the middle. RINO’s will seize the party, claiming that Christian “conservatives” are an electoral disaster, and RINO’s will rule a potentially permanent republican minority.
Ironically Giuliani, Romney, or McCain is better for conservatism than the so called Christian conservative minister.
He's wrong. A whole hell of a lot of people (of all political persuasions) do this. I hear it all the time.
The best that might be said is that more people on the left do this ... but that's as far as it goes.
Is Rush trying to say that Huck is a “Christian Identity” candidate? That’ not much different from kooky Ron Paul’s comment that when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.
