“But the kind of thing you (and a bunch of others here — not picking on you) have been doing is liable to bring down Republicans vs. the Democrats.”
The primary season is when we debate OUR candidates. It is the time to see who is fit for the job. I am not going to sit silent on a conservative website and not point out issues I have with a candidate just in case Howard Dean happens by to steal a few talking points. I guarantee you if I can see what I perceive as weaknesses in a person, the democrats have already figured it out.
“My advise is for you to find a Democrat state, become Governor, and see what you can do, to balance budgets.”
Well, that’s what the future President, if he happens to be a Republican, will be facing. Has Huckabee shown himself to be strong enough to meet that challenge, when he can’t even do it in Arkansas?
And, I’m not all that concerned about a balanced budget in a time of war. I am concerned about a man who can stand up to the ninnies in Congress day after day as they pull their shenanigans about the war. Does Huckabee have the backbone to do that? All I’ve seen of his backbone so far is his whining over silly attack ads in Iowa.
If you look into it, you will find there is much Huckabee did in Arkansas, to stem the liberal Democrat tide.
Backbones are important. It also takes backbone to move from a faulty point of view to a better one. it’s impportant when backbones are lead by able heads and hearts.
It also takes backbone to show what is good about a candidate, instead of just taking shots at others.
