Huckabee presents the best choice for Reagan supporters

Gwinnett Daily Post ^ | 1-22-2008 | U.S. Rep. John Linder, R-GA

....it is now an established fact that his appeal, rather than being broad, is restricted to a narrow group of evangelical Christians who put church affiliation ahead of the Constitution and the good of the nation.

That is what the MSM and the RNC would like the sheeple to believe, but as a Roman Catholic whose ideology is probably closest to Paul's I don't think Huckabee's appeal should necessarily be pigeon-holed. His likability and communication skills make him the best candidate to go up against Clinton. Look who is left standing against Clinton now. It is the empty suit that knows how to get votes. Wait until Clinton faces someone with similar charisma, but also has real experience governing and actually has a value system people could actually relate to. Do you people know anything about electoral politics?

Hello,

We just got the first computer push poll from Huck here in MO. Wow, how lucky are we?

Earlier this evening, before the Huck call, I spoke with my MIL about Fred’s decision to leave the race. I supported Fred completely, she thought his heart wasn’t in it. When we talked about Huck, she said, “We already had 8 years of Bill Clinton, why would we vote for more?”

Great question....

Hey, MOgirl, was the push poll done by the Huckabee camp or was it “Common Sense Issues”? Thanks for any help. I’m trying to keep tabs on this.

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Mr. MOguy got the call, and he said that he was 1st asked who he was supporting, with Huck’s name coming 1st on the list. He hit Romney, not that we support him, just to see what would happen. Next came all of Mitt’s flip-flops on abortion, and a contrast of Huck’s record on same.

Mr. MOguy then lost patience, and hung up on the computer. So, sorry, I can not answer your question.

You forgot, dishonest, liar, and a psychopath.....

He is the GOP Jimmy Carter when you examine his record.

This is such a charade. Envoking Carter is as simplistic as the L word. It has no realistic merit and is only used as a pejorative. One could make comparisons of Huckabee and any number of presidents. They all raised taxes or they all engaged in deficit spending, as if the executive branch was charged with that responsibility in the first place. They all get into foreign policy problems and are blamed for any economic woes. The president isn't that powerful a position ya know. It is still a three branch government and life just isn't all that predictable, in case you haven't ever noticed.

Now that is not fair. You can’t use facts when dealing with Huck, it screws everything up...

[ejonesie22]

Now cut that out. You are not allowed to use facts when discussing facts, it upsets folks...

Huck's desire to give illegal alien children "in state tuition" is an established fact.

And soooooo.....should he have charged them with out-of-state tuition, or should he have given them free tuition? After educating them through high school at tax-payer expense as mandated by law, should he have relegated them to a career at McDonald's after they had academically qualified for higher education?

When did the anti-in-state tuition for a few illegal alien children become part of the conservative ethos or part of the republican platform?

Well, good news is this: Huck's the next to drop out in the Republican race, unless he finds there are more fundamentalists in Florida than anybody thought.

But first, we get the joy of seeing that weasel Edwards lose badly in the state where he was born in, South Carolina. The "anybody but Hillary" DemonRats have already decided that Obama's their 'boy'. He'll be weeping his Breck Girl eyes out come Saturday night.

Come to think of it, Hillary may be as well.

The Lord must be rolling his eyes over the misuse of Christianity. Give us to Ceaser what is Ceasers and to the Lord what is the Lords.

The Lord warned us that "many would come in His name", and to see to it that we are not deceived and led astray. How many politicians have you seen professing to be a Christian because they are trying to deceive us so they can win? A bunch! We are told to "test the spirits." The "fruit's of the Huckster's spirit" are not producing the "good fruit" (deeds).

Besides, he's crazy! He's just 'not right.'

Huckabee is the only person to hop on his Fairtax plan...nothing more, nothing less and nothing to see here...move along now.

What Rush has said quite unequivocally is that nominating either Huckabee or McCain would destroy the Republican Party. He also clearly stated that he respects Rudy for his unwavering stance. He has taken a position on the issues and has not attempted to deceive the public by claiming he believes something he does not.

Huckabee has repeatedly altered his positions without having the moral courage to acknowledge it. Giuliani makes no bones about supporting the right of a woman to choose. He hasn't wavered, he hasn't equivocated, he hasn't made excuses.

Very clearly it is the people who have sold out to the socialist preacher who have "jumped the shark." He does not represent the Right, he is the antithesis of the Right and of Ronald Reagan.

[Sudetenland]

Yes, do you know anything about the realities of politics? I mean simple things like no dough, no show. You keep avering that Huckabee has broad appeal and charisma, I haven't seen it anywhere but Iowa...and Bill Clinton has broader appeal and greater charisma than Huckabee, does that mean I should vote for Hillary?

I'm not voting for the next American Idol, I'm looking at who would be the best President for the next four years, and Huckabee ain't it by half...unless you are looking for a Democrat.

When did providing taxpayer funded services to illegal aliens become a Conservative policy?

You Huckabites are really an entertaining bunch. I had no idea you were working for the Onion.

[Sudetenland]

Ah, the elitist card rears it's ugly head...once a Liberal always a Liberal, I say.

Now the voting citizens of our nation are "sheeple." How very elitist of you. I'm surprised you decided to lower yourself to debate the issues with us poor unwashed masses.

How silly of us, we should have instantly bowed to your innate superiority and simply followed your direction without daring to question...come on now, that's what you really think, isn't it...confession is good for the soul.

[ejonesie22]

Oh my...

[LordBridey]

When did providing taxpayer funded services to illegal aliens become a Conservative policy?

Charging tuition is not a service. So what is the high crime here? I'll ask again. Should he have charged them out of state tuition fees? Shot them upon receiving their diplomas? Done the federal government's job and driven these families to the border? Arrested the employers that hired the parents? Relegated someone who qualified for higher education to a dead end career?

[the808bass]

Thanks.

Dream on.
