Eat your vegetable ladies and gentleman and vote for Duncan Hunter!

Charleston, SC-
Last night at the Citadel, the historic southern military school located here in Charleston, GOP presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee positioned himself in defense battle mode, warning the crowd of 400 supporters about the barrage of attacks from his enemy entities, like the Club for Growth, that are questioning his conservative credentials. Huckabee defended his record.
“Folks, I don’t know what you are going to hear, about that I’m not a conservative, but when you cut taxes, and you increase the per capita income, you improved the schools, and you rebuild the roads, and you preserve the national resources, and you streamline government, your government grows at a rate that is half that of the average of all states,” Huckabee said, his voice rising. “Call it anything you want to, but anybody with an I.Q. above broccoli calls that conservative, rock-solid, kind of leadership.”

Eat your vegetable ladies and gentleman and vote for Duncan Hunter!
In a very narrow band he is a conservative.
He is pro-life and pro religion.
That's great
but it is not enough.
Many local level Democrats are pro-life and religious.
When they strive for national office that, changes.
A liberal Republican isn't going anywhere without some high-profile credential.
Huckabee has a credential.
“National numbers? Great move up by Romney!”
Yes, he did get a bump, but not as much as I would suspect it should be. I think he got a bump in S.C. also. He is slightly ahead of Thompson.
Tommorrow’s daily will be more telling. That should be when the full impact of his MI win will show in the national polls.
At the very great risk of being flamed.....I wonder who will benefit the most from a Thompson withdrawel if he places 4th in S.C. where he drew a “line in the sand.”
Call me broccoli, then.
I like to be steamed, with a little salt and butter on the side, please.
There's got to be a picture somewhere of Huckabee wearing bib overalls.
You'll get a kick out of this! It's even better than a picture. LOL
Yeah, Huck. It really helps to insult people who could possibly vote for you. Sounds like a 6th grader.
Oh, puh-leeze. If building roads was a high priority, the way to pay for it is to cut spending on lower priorities.
While we're on the subject, what are your "different" definitions of a few other words (specifically, "alone", "sex", and "is")?
According to the political spectrum that can be discerrned at the VoteMatch site that I made links to, there can be no reasonable doubt that the contest is between a flock of rabid frothing mouthed moonbats, maybe a lone donkey, a herd of ephelants, and a lone "moderate" that is actually a MINO, i.e., "moderate in name only" in that they are bonafide Libertarian.
That, IMHO, takes skill and political accumen to be so economically conservative and socially liberal to end up being Libertarian. In fact its such a genius kind of skill, and wholly unpragmatic (not to mention unpractical), that it amounts to starry-eyed idealism with dreams of pie-in-the-sky Utopia.
You can either approach this contest qualitatively and subjectively, which is what the liberal MSM wants you to do. Or you can quntify objectively the candidates by comparing/contrasting their posititions issue by issue.
Pick one that really strikes home concerning an issue that REALLY matters to you and vote for that candidate. IF there's a couple candidates that seem to be pretty matched, then of course you have to ascertain which one has the best temperment; that's important.
Finally, if they both seem to be evenly matched on the issues (as far as one sees fit to be THE important ones), then one needs to ascertain which one of the two candidates is actually strapping it on for size. Because THAT'S important. In my short 45 years on this planet I've come to find out that it never bodes well to lay allegiance with one who's strapping it on for size.
There it is in a nutshell: politcal primer by RayGun.
"Could I possibly interest
you in some broccoli futures?"
Heh, I like it :-) A pastor I know does evangelical work in the prison systems. We had a conversation about that not long ago. He said that he has to be very, very wary about that. Thre are those that will take advantage kindness, in a heart beat. He said the ones that are truly saved though, make it all worth while.
Interesting that so many of The Huck's detractors don't want to talk about it anymore ~ which makes me suspect they are mostly (not entirely, but mostly) Clintonista sympathizers.
BTW, all I did was toss a term we usually hear only from the Anglicans and Catholics at you ~ but it applies to an element of church service common to all Christian communes.
You were not able to respond correctly which pretty much identified you as a non-Christian. Being a non-Christian and unable to handle the terms found in the largest single Christian commune on Earth (2 bill and browing, eh!), I think I successfully identified your lack of credentials to state that anything The Huck has said or done regarding religion is "embarrassing".
All of which means I disagree with you.
Its sad and concerning that the Huckster has been able to pull the wool over the eyes of so many.....
The sheeple don’t do their homework and he is counting on that.
