The first question I am often asked these days is: "Why are you still running for President?"
It is because I believe that I am the best candidate to represent you in the fall against the Democrats. Why? Because I have core conservative beliefs that I have never wavered from:
I believe in the Human Life Amendment and I will fight for it from Day 1 of my Presidency.
I believe in the Marriage Amendment.
I believe in massive tax reform and am an advocate of the FairTax.
I believe that President Bush's tax cuts should be made permanent.
I believe in the Surge, our troops and General Petraeus.
I believe the 2nd amendment is one of the best ways to protect us from tyranny and I will work tirelessly to protect it from activist judges.
I believe in real border security and have proposed a detailed 9 point plan to secure our borders.
I believe the best judge is a conservative judge that won't legislate from the bench.
These are some of the reasons why I am running for President and let me also say that YOU are another reason. I am running to give you a voice in the process. To lift up your voice with mine and to tell our Party and our government that we need to do better. We need to think big and fight for our ideas.
There's lots of voting left to be done before our Republican Party's nominee is decided. Tonight, I ask that you help our campaign prepare for the race ahead with a contribution of $25 or more.
We have important states to fight for in the coming days: Wisconsin, Washington, Texas and Ohio to name a few. Unlike the last few states, we have time to build our base of support in each of these states, contact new voters and prepare to turnout the vote. Wisconsin and Washington vote on Feb. 19. Texas and Ohio on March 4.
I believe that the moment I stop campaigning all the TV cameras will go away.
Huckabee’s a good man.
I believe if murders and rapists say they are sorry, it is my Christian duty to set them free. My judgment of their character gleaned by reading their heartfelt letters of appeal is superior to judicial rulings and sentencing.
FOX reported this morning that Paul has suspended his campaign because it appears to him that we’re headed for a brokered convention.
Huck knows McCain will not last much longer due to his health.
McCain looks like the Pale rider.
If ever a nickname seemed appropriate, I think it is “The Huckster” — or maybe “The Dope from Hope.”
Sorry, Arkansas, but you’ve been striking out lately.
The Marines are looking for a few good men.
wow even Ron Paul is realistic
ok not realistic about a brokered convention but that’s just spin
“I believe for every drop of rain that falls ... a flower grows, and a thousand weeds ... rather like this rube.”
LOL - Thanks, you’ve lighhtened up my day!
I do believe I will be hysterical for the next four plus years.
Bear with me?
“Bear with me?”
Gladly!
I cannot support a candidate that supports the so-called ‘fair tax’ period. Sorry, huck.
Huckabee is a good man. I appreciate that he is willing to keep on standing until this race is over. Every voter in every state should have a real choice until one candidate has attained 1,191 delegates, at which time it is over. Until then let the people decide what kind of convention they want. If they keep giving it to McCain then McCain has a legitimate claim to the title. If Huckabee is pressured out by bossy blabbers who think their opinions count more than, say, the voters in Texas or Ohio, well then McCains title of nominee will never really be legitimate.
Well said. Thanks.
Well said. Thanks.
Huck now has “core conservative beliefs.”
Too bad he didn’t have many of them when he was governor.
He’s still running because no one has attempted to pin him down on exactly why he pardoned criminals like Glen Green and others. There haven’t been any wide scale exposures of the scope of his pardons. You can bet the MSM will get around to it though if Huckabee actually gets anywhere in this election cycle. Victim’s families are waiting in the wings to swiftboat him if he should actually become the nominee. Rule of law and justice matter to most Americans, there’s no way Huckabee can win the election. His liberal record will also come back to bite him.
