If we're looking for a great bass player for POTUS, Huck is not the man. Fred has charm, after the brokered convention when he is POTUS, he can convince a real bass player like Jimmy Page to play the FR ball.

My friends, I have to admit that I've been in a bit of a quandary since the Real Conservatives ® Thompson and Hunter dropped out of the race leaving us to to place our bets on one the four headless horsemen. But after having a day or three to sort it all out, I'm beginning to see a ray of hope.
Number one, my worst fear that the pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun social liberal Rudy Giuliani might be nominated, and thereby bring an abrupt and unholy end to the pro-life conservative movement within the GOP has been allayed. His evil culture of death platform has been soundly rejected by the Republican voters. Thank God! If nothing else is gained, that alone is a huge victory for us!
And that leaves us with the unwelcome slippery task of having to determine and select the least evil of the three remaining RINOs. But wait! When choosing between evils, why not choose the good?
McCain is insane and there are many good reasons not to choose him, but I'll list just five: McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, the Keating 5, and the Gang of 14. No thanks. McCain is out!
Romney ran on a pro-abortion platform, is pro gay rights, is prone to BIG government solutions, promises anything to anyone for a vote, and flip-flops on important issues. Can't trust him.
Now Governor Huckabee. Could this be the good vs evil? He's a Baptist minister. A genuine 100% pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, Southron Christian social conservative!
And that would be my reason no. 1 to support Huckabee. He has the trust and backing of the Christian evangelicals and the support of the Bible Belt. You cannot win the presidency without the South, and I believe the pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-America Mike Huckabee is the most likely of the three GOP hopefuls to carry the South. And that's a pretty darn good reason!
My number two reason is that he is NOT McCain (and that's a pretty darn good reason too).
Number three (and this will be a tough one for a lot of my FReeper Friends) is that he is NOT Romney.
Numbers four and five are he's NOT Hillary and NOT Obama. Oohrah!
Number six, he plays a mean bass and he's a traditional favorite at Free Republic's infamous quadrennial Inaugural Balls in Washington, DC. Perhaps we could persuade President Huckabee to drop by our ball and perform his rocking rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama!" Now, wouldn't that be a hoot!
Number seven, if we can keep Huckabee in the race all the way through, thus preventing McCain or Romney from gaining enough delegates to win the nomination, then maybe, just maybe a deadlocked convention might seek out another candidate. One who can re-unite the Reagan Coalition, save the GOP, and put us back on the conservative track. Of course, my personal favorite to be that man would be FRed Thompson.
Woo hoo!!
Let it ring out through grassroots America and on to the convention! Support life! Support the GOP! Support Huckabee! And re-draft FRed Thompson!!
Never give in, never give up, and never lose hope.
Long live the Reagan Revolution!
You’re right. We stupid grassroots conservatives should just leave it to the elites to choose for us. Let’s see, first the elites chose the RINO McCain as our front-runner, then the social liberal Giuliani became the ONLY Republican who could defeat Hillary and win the war on terror, then they flirted briefly with promoting Huckabee the populist before he fizzled. Now Giuliani’s out, McCain is hated, Huckabee is only valued as a spoiler, and our favorite good hair RINO in reserve, Mitt Romney, pops up as the party savior. Romney now is the only guy who can block McCain/Huckabee and save us from Hillary. Meanwhile, fine upstanding conservatives like Thompson and Hunter are shunted aside and kicked to the curb. The elites of the party will save us from our own stupidity. Can you say Gerald Ford? How about Bob Dole? In all honesty, I believe the elites will win again. McCain will be favored over Romney by the establishment Republicans and will become our candidate. We’ve gone full circle and it’s back to the elite’s first choice for us. McCain is our Bob Dole. I have to agree. We are pretty stupid.

The closest to a brokered convention was at the 1976 Republican National Convention, when neither Gerald Ford nor Ronald Reagan received enough votes in the primary to lock up the nomination.[4] Since then, candidates have received enough momentum to reach a majority through pledged and bound delegates before the date of the convention. —— Wikipedia
Absurd.
It will never happen, ESPECIALLY reason #7.
8. You hate America and you believe that expressing your disappointment in the Republican party is more important than the future of this country.
I have liked a lot of what Huckabee has had to say, and have often wondered why in the hell he doesn’t have more support. I’m afraid it’s too little too late for him though. The McCain train has left the station.
Huckabee is about as honest and truct worthy as another well know baptist, Bill Clinton. Both proved that to the state of Arkansas with the things they did to the state while governor.
I must note that Huckabee has the second best NRA rating of all the current candidates. Ron Paul comes in first. The rest of the field, from either side, has a bad track record on the Second Amendment.
He plays bass? I wish I would have known. He would have had my full support long ago!
Huckabee is not a conservative and showed contempt for true Arkansan Christian conservatives like Jim Holt, when he was Governor. I will be voting for the Mormon.
A brokered convention will result in Huckabee taking his supporters over to McCain in exchange for the V.P. or a Cabinet post. Huck is doing McCain’s bidding. And quite frankly, I think McCain is more dangerous than Rudy. We Swiftboated the wrong guy.
“You’re not smart enough.
I see. You think if I hang out with you and your RINO WAnker friends I could get smart like you?
this whole national disgrace has been orhcestrated by the Republican/Rat elites....its the Rats time to rule so now they'll get their 8 yrs.
“Huckabee is about as honest and truct worthy as another well know baptist”
Who isn’t Baptist? You know they are only outnumbered by Catholics.

Ok, I took a second look. Suggest you do the same. Click the link, watch closely, listen to his words, evaluate the evil he’s promising and promoting and try not to lose your dinner.
