Interesting. Last week it was called the "Giuliani/Huckabee ticket" and the talking point here was the evil Mike Huckabee has a backroom deal to be "Rudy's running mate" on a "Baby killer/Nanny stater" platform. This week you guys have reversed yourselves and declared Huckabee is actually in kahoots with McCain for a "McCain/Huckabee" amnesty express. Which is it? If Romney is surging next will, will Huck have signed a backroom deal to be his "running mate" too?
At least this latest anti-Huckabee attack is not as funny as freepers ranting and raving that Huckabee was a "compassionate conservative Bush clone who will govern exactly the way Bush does" one week and then screaming that Huckabee was a "Democrat taking pot shots at our President and trying to undermine his agenda" the next week.
Are the anti-Hucksters taking lessons from Romney on how to completely flip-flop your positions, or what?
I suppose next week we'll be hearing Huckabee isn't religious enough.
Huck is a flexible guy. He’d jump on either Rudy/Huck or a McCain/Huck bandwagon. But last Saturday’s debate had an interesting interchange that made clear the McCain/Huck double team was in play.
“At least this latest anti-Huckabee attack is not as funny as freepers ranting and raving that Huckabee was a “compassionate conservative Bush clone who will govern exactly the way Bush does” one week and then screaming that Huckabee was a “Democrat taking pot shots at our President and trying to undermine his agenda” the next week.”
Actually, both comments made sense, since in both cases the context has been that Huck supports big Govt.
When Bush is a big-spending ‘compassionate conservative’ implementing NCLB and doubling the Dept of Ed, Huckabee the tax-and-spender is right there for him. That’s one reason Huck got the NEA endorsement.
When Bush finally finds a veto pen in his desk and (gasp) actually vetoes the Pelosi schip spending bill, Huckabee is the one candidate who cant bring himself to support the President on it. Shameful.
Huckabee doesnt have a fiscal conservative bone in his body.
“I suppose next week we’ll be hearing Huckabee isn’t religious enough.” - I find his lack of ethics, his record of ethics violations in Arkansas and ability to engage in Clintonesque dissembling so easily quite disconcerting considering his claims to be Christian. He seems to abuse the term a bit.
