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 dont know what you are going to hear, about that Im 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.

“Among conservatives Huckabee attracts 27%. Well it sounds like the voters see him as conservative.........”
Yep, they’ve bought his smooth lies. Have you?
“A LIE CAN TRAVEL HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD, WHILE THE TRUTH IS PUTTING ON IT’S SHOES.” Mark Twain
So, which is it guys ~ public roads are bad but so are private roads?
Or, is it the other way around.
The Huck also was governor of one of the poorest states in the country. The only way you could get a good educaion there was to go somewhere else ~ even if your folks were rich ~ you had to leave.
He reordered taxing priorities, improved the schools and now at least the Arkansas kids, when they move somewhere else, might still offend our sensibilities with their snaggletooth smiles but doggone it they can read.
Not a bad job ~ just doing what everybody else had already done!
And, best of all, the state no longer had to sell prisoners' blood to Canada's socialist health care system, but why is it I get the feeling so many of The Huck's detractors wanted that practice continued. Hmmmm ~ I sniff some Socialists infiltrating our board.
Fried squirrel and broccoli...
Wasnt it Bush Senior that hated broccoli?
Hey Huck ...my IQ is way over broccoli but guess what?
Because it is I can see you are a phony. You only hope people are not as smart.
If Huckabee fizzles, his followers will be looking for another prolife evangelical to fill the void. Hunter fits that bill, no one else in the race is evangelical.
The GOP doesnt get it. They need to let this faction find a home. The amount of invective aimed at evangelicals is surprising, but then everyone wants their votes.
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and hes got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.
Prolife evangelicals will be very comfortable in Hunters camp, since hes a prolife evangelical staunch conservative.
“Sounds like somebodys getting desperate....”
LOL, yesterday it was the Vast Washington Republican Party Conspiracy trying to crush his candidacy!!
The Huckter’s melt-down rate is increasing.
LOL!!! I thought of that too.
Surely this is a misquote...anyone with an IQ LOWER than Broccoli believes Huckabee is a conservative.
The more this guy talks, the more of a HICK he appears.
If that's the case, gubner, then everyone voting should be required to take an IQ test.
Maybe I need to be taking one or at the very least, a typing and proof reading course.
LOL....get serious. Just like Bush is a conservative - NOT
LOL....get serious. Just like Bush is a conservative - NOT
Huckabee is a “new conservative.”
You know, the ones who like illegal aliens, desire big government, raise taxes, and adore Fidel Castro.
A litmus test for me in the selection of a president is do they want the job because they want to "be" the president or because they want to accomplish something. I will NEVER vote for someone who simply wants to be the president. I then ask what it is they want to accomplish.
“So the sarcastic smart ass opens his pie hole again to insult others.”

What a champion for Christianity Huckabee is. It’s embarassing.
Should have been: “Anyone who’s a conservative should know I have the IQ of broccoli.”
um, that was Ian Fleming
He didn’t have to call me racist and a nativist, and put illegals above our own. protect tyson’s to keep their labor down.... he is just yuck.
Albert R. Broccoli, producer of the James Bond movies? Eh, he was a liberal.
I posted four pictures: a box of rocks, a bag of sand, Huckster, and a sack of gravel.
You CAN be big government, pro-illegal, soft on crime like Huckabee and be a Christian soicalist liberal.
you differ from other liberals on gays and abortion, that’ it.
you join liberals on nanny statism like smoking bans and forcing people to eat bean kurd or whatever.
Because Christian liberals are STILL liberals, just ones who are going to heaven.
