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.”

Heheheh I just tried making the same mediocre joke. Albert R. Broccoli was the creator of the James Bond movies.
You got a problem with that or something?
Mike Huckabee is divisive in an already divided nation. I can’t see him being an effective leader when he gets to Washington. He’s already “flip-flopped” on two issues in the last two days. Now, if many Republicans are calling Mitt Romney a flip-flopper for decisions reached a few years ago, what would they call Mike Huckabee, pandering state to state for whatever folks want to hear.
I appreciate his wit and humor and think he is a wonderful pastor, or would be if he chose to lead a congregation again, but as president, he would not be what I’m looking for. I think Huckabee is an abbreviation for “a nation divided against itself cannot stand.”
Er, Huck. Conservatives don't believe that government should be responsible for your income.
Sort of reminds me of the Clinton quote: “Everyone knows that I have tougher ethic rules than any other President.”
I’d bet even Broccoli knows that Canada doesn’t have a
NATIONAL IGLOO!

There are a lot of Christian Churches that seem to view and believe in God through their own image.
It is a human failing mostly in my opinion.
Many want to self interpret the Bible without the help and so forth.
Yeah, thou shall not covet they neighbor’s goods, thou shall not have strange gods before me, thou steal or bear false witness. All of it anti liberal IMO.
They have a home.
Nope whatever you like...I was just pairing up his dinner choices.

Sweet Potato! Boy, you must be smart,LOL!
Frankly, the way you handled the eucharist this Sunday was disgusting.
It is time to fire them and their litmus tests, that grow longer every election.
And have produced larger than ever government.
Americans have gone so far off the deep end that they now believe that the government can control the weather.
To heck with IQ!!! Shouldn’t there be a mental health evaluation completed for those who might actually have access to the “Football”?
The federales should have been in there busting heads and keeping Arkansas safe for real Americans Fur Shur.
I had forgotten about that whopper.
That's what I would call a "Weapons Grade" lie.
Same reason I decided that I was a conservative..
Darn ... that leaves me out.
