Mike Huckabee on the Issues

[SeafoodGumbo]

Hell no to the Huckleberry Clown.

[VRWCmember]

When you look at the many fine candidates seeking the Republican nomination for president, who do you believe can best speak to those Reagan Democrats?

I believe that candidate is Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee will attract the Carter Democrats -- not the Reagan Democrats.

[death2tyrants]

“Huckabee presents the best choice for Reagan supporters.”

Ronald Prescott Reagan?

[mcjordansc]

At the risk of being scorned by many here, I agree completely with the article posted. Huckabee does speak to the Reagan Democrats like no one has in 20 years.

[Dstorm]

No thank you!!!

Just to let you know, your one of the reasons I won’t consider him.

[HHFi]

You might as well forget trying to talk sense to anyone on Free Republic. They've been imbibing the Rush-Coulter-Thompson Kool-Aid for so long, it doesn't even matter what the truth is anymore. They believe Huckabee is a "SOCIALIST!!" because he actually expected taxpayers to pay for necessary government functions like schools and highway-building instead of charging them to his grandkids' credit card, like the "real conservatives" in Washington (Thompson, for example). Never mind that most of the charges against him are a load of garbage that has been widely debunked, and are mostly things taken wildly out of context. Their personal Jesus, the Almighty Fred, spake unto them that Huckabee is Satan, and that is that. So now, they're flocking to either McCain (which I believe is the sole reason Fred even announced: to help his buddy McCain and be the VP, yet another job with no executive responsibility or heavy lifting) or Romney.

That's right: they're actually so brainwashed, they believe the ROMNEY family member who was governor of MASSACHUSETTS and just a few years ago was slamming anything to the right of Ted Kennedy is the REAL conservative, while the Baptist Republican from Arkansas is the wild-eyed leftist.

The sad and frustrating part for me is that I've worked in the media for 30 years, I have a close relative who worked very high up in the RNC in DC and goes all the way back to being a Reagan delegate in '76, and I know a lot of these people personally. Party insiders have been telling me for months that Huckabee was really the most conservative candidate who actually had a chance of winning because of his communications skills and appeal to working class voters (who used to be called Reagan Democrats), but he was going to be destroyed by the big money GOP establishment for the same reason they tried to destroy Reagan to give us Ford: because they would rather remain in control of a shrunken, out-of-power party than allow anyone to rise to power in it who wasn't part of their Harvard-Yale-Wall Street cabal. And all you people fell in line, piled on Huckabee and helped them. Congratulations for slitting your own throats.

Oh wingman!

No. Not on a bet. No way.

I have to go make dinner, so here's why, in a handy-dandy sound-bite:

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view." Mike Huckabee

Here it is on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onHkywYc_1M

We don't live in a theocracy. I'd like to keep it that way. I'm willing to go out on a limb and trust the Founding Fathers over Mike Huckabee on this one.

So: No. Not on a bet. No way.

[stocksthatgoup]

Huckster?
McDole? I will Switch2Mitt

[Squantos]

no

[mombonn]

I voted for Reagan twice.

To consider EVER pulling the lever for chucklebee is just a . . . chuckle.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

Hickabee 08!

[Clintonfatigued]

Unfortunately, Huckabee is the best choice available. I am grudgingly leaning towards him.

[CindyDawg]

Well, I’m not happy about it, at all but since he’s the only social conservative left, I guess I’m in yall’s camp now.

[NordP]

Headline = Pleeeeeeease! NO.

[allmendream]

Reagan was an ideological conservative who had a philosophy that was contrary to nanny state smoking laws, tax hikes, graft, and lenient criminal justice.

[FreedomProtector]

Good article thanks for posting.

[2111USMC]

No.

[Mr. Silverback]

So, to emulate a guy whose tax cuts led to an 18 year unprecedented economic boom, we should support a guy whose tax reform will shaft the middle class and retirees.

Yeah, right. NO SALE.

[GOPJ]

Huck’s the right man for the job.
