Could it be that he's as fake as it is asserted that Romney is? Granted, Romney comes off as easy as a three-sizes-too-big pair of plastic flip-flops, but Huckabee makes Eddie Haskell come off as an amature snow-job artist.
I never thought I would find a smoother flim-flam artist running in the Republican primary as Romney. Huckabee has proven that incorrect. Their styles may differ, but they are both “disguising” their past.
I don’t know. Might be it. Over my life I’ve come to listen to that “inner voice” that says “DON’T DO THAT!”
When I meet someone or watch them for the first time speaking (either TV or in person) I can and do generally get a ‘feeling’ about them. I remember Bill Clinton giving me that ‘feeling’ when he was being interviewed on TV during the campaigns before he went on to beat Bush. There was a particular thing that caught my ear, about “Drug addicts”. I don’t remember the precise exchange but something he said sounded good at the time, like “he wasn’t for giving drug addicts help” - and I knew he was lying. Later I found out he was helping a brother who was a drug addict or something along those lines. Anyway, it’s been to many years to remember the exact details, but the VOICE said “He’s lying”.
I get the same thing about Huckabee and I know very little about his background or positions (I know MUCH more about Ron Paul for instance, and I’d not vote for him on a BET).
I like Hunter and Thompson and I’ve met Thompson once, long ago when he was much younger and I remember him as coming across as a real person, no fake, and very genuine. I can’t say that about the rest of them at all.
I have HEARD stories about Hillary from people inside the WH whom I know well, and she’s someone to avoid like a terrible disease. She’s bad for America. Period.
But, Huckabee comes across to me as not-so-genuine, and he may indeed be a liar, I don’t know that for sure, but he comes across as someone to NOT TRUST. Thus, I listen to the voice.
