“Would Huckabee Have Been a Good President?”

Both of ‘em are losers.

Willard was just a smarmy flip-flopping big-government liberal who’ll say, (and do), anything to get a vote. The revelation that his people and some of their surrogates in the media and blogosphere were behind the savaging of Sarah Palin makes crystal clear that this man should never be anywhere near the pinnacle of power. He should be at best forgotten about.

The Huckster, on the other hand, is a creepy little Elmer Gantry wannabe who with an “Aww shucks” and “Shazzam!” Gomer Pyle manner mix that Ol’ Time Religion with Marx and Engels. When governor, Huckabee used the power of his office to derail an Arkansas State Police investigation looking into charging sonny-boy with the torture and killing os a dog. He’s a socialist, pure and simple. A boneheaded theocrat and a socialist.

Better than the current situation (like that’s so hard to achieve).

I agree!

Are Willard or Elmer conservative?

If you think Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber are in any sense, (other than talking-and talk is cheap...its actions that speak loudest), conservative, then I’d like to try a blast of whatever you’ve been drinking after I sell you some nice beachfront property in Oklahoma.

At least that is what the MSM wanted us to believe.

Well, at bottom, it was true.

And the sooner we -- and GOP candidates -- stop using the MSM's bias as an excuse for our failures, the better off we'll be.

Conservatives must realize that the MSM is our enemy, defend against them and overcome (or ignore) their propaganda. If a conservative candidate can't do that, he's going to lose in the general (or, maybe, even in the primaries).

Would the Huckster be a good president, as compared to Obama? He would have been far better. Will the Huckster ever be president? Nope, not ever, but he has the fever, and no matter how much he hurts serious contenders, he will keep on trying.

He is kind of a wishy-washy populist or kinda soft conservative, I don’t think he could make any hard
decisions.

No!!, He's a social conservative, but he's a big gov't nanny state person too.

Huckster was a terrible Governor. Destroyed the AR GOP. He would’ve been no different as President.

Actually, I believe that ANY of the other declared Repub candidates would have been more aggressive than McCain. And Sarah Palin would have at least matched them, although she had better sense than to try for the top spot so early in her career.

And I hope that we NEVER AGAIN nominate a sitting senator for President. The US Senate is a graveyard of principle and character like no other institution. My tagline tells you what I think they actually do for a living.

McCain got the nomination due to independents and Dem crossovers. If we close the primaries we will get a very different candidate next time around.

The Alaska Republican primary was closed and held on Super Tuesday. McCain came in dead last. Even Ron Paul beat him.

“Is McCain a conservative?”

Only to those Timothy Leary fans left over from the 60’s.

Regardless of how folks here feel about Huckabee (and I trash talked him pretty seriously), he still would have been a lot better than Obama.

Then again, I am beginning to think that HILLARY would have been better than Obama...
