It's Huck.
It's Huck."
Well said!
Or in Carter’s case: If it swims like a bunny and sounds like a bunny, then it’s probably a swimming bunny.
Huckabee is worse than Jimmy Carter, he was born in Hope, Arkansas, same as Bill Clinton.
Huckabee is just a liberal. Through and through.
He will be a willing liberal tool on fiscal issues, foreign policy, “the environment”, class warfare, and so forth.
And anyone who thinks he’ll toe the conservative line on social issues will be in for a rude awakening, in the awful event that he is elected POTUS.
He will fold up like a cheap suit when the liberals put pressure on him even for these, his supposedly “signature” issues...
Playing pretty fast and loose with the truth, aren’t we, street_lawyer?
The entire quote in context: “My faith is my life - it defines me. My faith doesn’t influence my decisions, it drives them. For example, when it comes to the environment, I believe in being a good steward of the earth. I don’t separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.”

Based on that blatant misrepresentation alone, the rest of your “opinion” isn’t worth reading.
You’re not going to convince Huckabee supporters by your “lawyerly” counsel.
Try more honey and less vinegar.
Huckabee is no Carter. He is much slicker than Carter.
“street_lawyer” is, after all, a lawyer. They present arguments to *win*, not to be truthful.
Second, I happen to REMEMER what everyone was saying at the time. Almost no one was arguing that Lawrence was bad. A few conservative lawyer types saw the problem. MOST people, even conservatives, couldn't make the conntection. It was "what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody's business." I know because I was busy arguing with people about it.
Even Clarence Thomas who voted against Lawrence made the argument against the Texas state law. No one seemed to see the purposes of sodomy laws until we started experiencing the consequences of Lawrence. Even still, most people can't seem to get it through their thick skulls.
That is a lousy excuse but it is enough of one. Name another candidate who favors a return of anti-sodomy laws. I wish they all held that position but they don't. Perhaps some of them see the error of Lawrence, but were they arguing against it at the time? I doubt it. Do they think sodomy should be illegal. I SERIOUSLY doubt it. Wimps all!!!
Yep!
The Huck just apologized for the death of Buhto; now why would he have done that? He is an idiot.
“Huckabee is worse than Jimmy Carter, he was born in Hope, Arkansas, same as Bill Clinton.”
Yes, I can see that is a horrible crime. Every person in Hope must be another Bill Clinton. Oh my, we need to surround the town with torches and pitchforks and drives all these evil people into concentration camps.
By this logic we shouldn’t support Thompson because he came from Tennessee like Gore....
You are being silly and insulting to a whole group of people.
Yep. But I don’t think he is quite as smart, therefore not quite as dangerous.
Huckabee is no more liberal than GWBush.
That was a goofy gaff, of course.
I’m eager to see Hunter/Thompson as our ticket. At the same time, I don’t want to lie in order to demonize Huckabee. He’s got enough problems that we don’t need to resort to lying and misrepresentation.
Again, Huckabee supporters aren’t going to respond well to lawyer-speak; they’ll respond to the truth winsomely presented about Huckabee.
Hatred for Huckabee is driving many FReepers mad.
