As a Fredhead looking for a candidate, Huckabee proved to me last night he is NOT THE ONE I would choose to fix the economy.
On the same day my Wife and I were pondering how to use our stimulus package Tax Rebate to stimulate the economy - Huckabee tells us in last nights debate that he thinks it would be better spent adding 2 lanes to a highway on the East Coast. Oh yea, now that’s a great way to stimulate the economy in fly-over country and out here on the West Coast - Not.
False
McCain worse than lost it defending the “cap and trade” carbon tax which is a road map for the final destruction of America as an industrial power. The cap and trade is based on a false premise - global warming.
Perhaps you enjoy being Juans’ commode....being stabbed in the back on a consistent basis. Most of the rest of us simply do not. So you can continue to shill for that POS all you want, just do it in someone elses direction, I’m not interested.
...Huckabees strongest debate moment was indeed on an economic issue - a softball question from Senator McCain
... it was apparent that McCain and Huckabee shared a mutual desire to be non-aggressive with one another,
Liberal Love Fest.
Excellent quote. I am going to use it in a Forbes interview today!
I appreciate the reasons that many FReepers have given for voting for either Giuliani or Romney in the primary. I understand the concerns that neither Huckaboob or McCain win our delegates. Nonetheless, I am tired of having to choose from among lesser evils. I still find no reason to trust Romney - particularly since I have Republican friends who lived in Massachusetts under his administration. They are more opposed to him than we on FR are opposed to Hillary.
That leaves me a choice of voting for Rudy to stop any one candidate from amassing the 1191 delegates, and hoping that the convention chooses a CONSISTENT Conservative (vs. a “conservative of convenience” for the purpose of gathering votes) - or voting for Fred Thompson, to send the message to the RNC that I wont choose the lesser of two evils, that I wont fall into line as Karl Rove said, “because I have no where else to go.” Sorry, but falling into line and swallowing the poison has not helped. I just keep getting poisoned.
Not going to swallow for Mitt. Wouldnt swallow for Governor Suntan, and he has proven I was right. I am just tired of being taken for granted by the GOP. Yeah, I know all the excuses we have for voting against the Demonrat come November, but this is the primary, when we are supposed to chose a standard bearer. Mittens just can’t carry our standard very well; he keeps turning it over and over while he twists in the wind. He sounds conservative now - but if he were to get the nomination, and start seeking the votes of Independents and “moderates,” he will return to his Massachusetts Liberal habits.
Is there any FReeper who can honestly say they don’t believe that? You believe him on RKBA? on taxes? on life? on illegal aliens? Honestly? or have you already drank the poison?
I haven't endorsed Romney, but he's certainly not a swishy degenerate like Forbes, who has endorsed Rudy this year. Mentally, Romney is much sharper than Forbes.
Mucho Gracious Senor!
I think Romney really distinguished himself from the pack last night, visible to all that watched.
OK. The nightmare ticket after Hillary/Obama would be McCain/Huckabee. Yikes.
Bingo. And he would run around the world apologizing for President Bush's alleged mistakes. It would be a disaster. Plus the women in the White House wouldn't be safe. Well, Hillary's friends might be um, because they aren't interested in men. (sorry to be so snarky)
