Huckabee is a religious socialist and believes that government should control people’s lives, “for their own good”, of course. The only difference between him and Marx is that Huckabee wants a theocracy as the form of government that controls people.

Hunter either didn’t do his homework on Huckabee, which doesn’t speak well of Hunter, or he knew it and endorsed Huckabee anyway, which speaks significantly worse of Hunter.

I think it's possible that Hunter is a mean-spirited little man who wants to poke a stick-in-the-eye of all the people who didn't vote for him by sticking us with an unwinnable Elmer Gantry socialist snake-oil salesman to "get even" with us for not voting for the Great Duncan Hunter.

I was always skeptical of the Hunter-worshippers on this site but I always respected Hunter for his past record.

I no longer respect Hunter and I now understand why he never got more than 1% of the vote.

Duncan, you are a one-percenter in your soul. Thanks for nothing, little man.

“Huckabee is a religious socialist and believes that government should control people’s lives, “for their own good”, of course.”

There is already control over peoples lives, it’s called: The Law.

You mean Huckabee wants to strengthen the laws to put a drag on the rampant growth of freaks in society? Yea, as a Conservative I am all for that!

I smell a secular agnostic (at best), or an anti-Christian God-hater (at worst) when I read comments like these.

First Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay suggested that, as a Christian nation, it is our right (if not our obligation) to elect Chritian leaders. You got a problem with that, Lucifer?

Typical of the baseless nonsense from the Huck-haters, who until yesterday mostly idolized Duncan Hunter. Rather than consider that they may have adopted a distorted view of Huckabee, based on a few cherry picked items from an 11 year record, they are willing to instandly discredit the judgement and/or integrity of the man they were willing to trust to lead the free world. But if they were so wrong about Hunter, what does that say of their own judgement? How can they be so sure that they were wrong about Duncan, without even considering that they were wrong about Huckabee instead?

As I've said before, I would be OK with either Mitt or Huck. They are both conservatives based on their current positions. Both were governors in states with overwhelmingly Democratic legislatures (and in Huck's case a state with a simple majority veto override). Of course there were times when they accepted less than conservative choices. That doesn't make them liberals or socialists.
