Huckabee warns Palin: Don't leave GOP
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2009-07-15

(CNN) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a warning for Sarah Palin: Don't abandon the Republican Party.

The former presidential candidate and potential future White House rival of Palin's said Tuesday he's concerned about speculation the Alaska governor may leave the GOP to become an independent.

I hope she remains — let me be real clear — a part of the Republican Party," Huckabee told FOX News. "I'm a little concerned when I hear her say that she may sort of branch out and go third party or go independent. That would be a big mistake because we need to rebuild the Republican Party, not abandon it.""

When the Huckster announces he is not ever going to run for POTUS again to clear the field for Palin, I’ll believe him. Assuming he actually does as he says, that is.

You are wrong.

Should I make a bunch of hare-brained, wild-eyed, false statements about you, too? Nope. I’m not the stupid type.

Careful, Kid. He’s the all-knowing, all-seeing, Maha-RINO.

(Or I could be as DEAD-WRONG as she/he/it is.) I actually don’t know what s/h/it is, just that its wild-eyed insulting posts are foolish and childish and WAAAAAAY too overconfident in its crystal ball.

I take it you didn’t watch the actual interview and are just taking this at face value??????? because I watched his interview on Greta and this twists his comment the same as Rush’s comment was twisted... go watch Greta his Palin comments are the last 1:30 on the tape and he actually said he might even get behind her candidacy if she decides to run for President..... sheesh people get your heads out of the MSM sand and find the truth before going off half-cocked!

The only plan that the RINO Party and its apologists have is to exploit Palin for their own ends.

And they are doing a horrible job at that.

Palin should leave the RINO Party and take the Republican Party with her. Or maybe just kick the RINO's out!

Take a look at the out of control spending, the ear marks, the lack of spine when the dems stalled judges, the ridiculous desire to legalize 20 million illegals ( and that started from the first inaugural and was only slightly derailed by 9/11). The education bill the prescription bill for seniors. ALL of it was nothing but dem lite. Bush was slow to move into Iraq. Bush allowed soldiers to be court marshalled for things that did not happen because he wanted a kinder gentler war. Bush vetoed nothing. The GOP rolled over for the dems from day one

The fact that you seem to think everything was hunky dory up until 2006 is part of the problem

I have not gone nuts. The fact that you are willing to have a Huckabee ( or a Romney or a Graham or any other RINO) on the ticket at the head tells me all I need to know. If you support Palin then support Palin. RINOs have brought us to where we are currently.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the face of tyranny is no virtue. ... Remember it well. BG was right then and the words are right today

Many see the huckster in the same light. Unfortunately too many still follow this con artist.

I think that there are DNC types here talking up the Palin Party. Are you one? I don’t know.

Mark my word...Sarah will have such a following in states that normally go GOP that the GOP will not have a choice but to follow her.....Gipper did it and she's following in his foot prints.

The more the media attacks her, the worse they look.
The more Obama does, the worse he looks.

Beck's COMMON SENSE will be passed to all (D& R) by then.....Sarah is the candidate of common sense....She will pull from both parties....no third party needed.

Someone question were there any conservative democrats.....We had once once...Evan Bayh. Then he moved to DC. He needed money to run his campaign..Those who donated bought his vote...He could not buck the system without loosing the money he needed to run for office. In December he tried to organize the more conservative democrats in the Senate into a support group similar to the “blue dogs” in the House....If Sarah would help him raise money here locally, his vote would be free to follow. OTOH our very popular (R) governor, Mitch Daniels, has timed out and will be available to run against him....hhhmmmm.

I could care less what Mike Huckabee says. He does not have my respect.

Two brand new freepers, both pushing for a third party, getting together to trash an eight year freeper.

You guys get the same morning memos from your handlers at the DNC?

If you're getting flak it's because you're over the target. I must have hit the bulls-eye.

Slipkid77 signed up three weeks ago to try to get us to buy a third party. Your agenda is the same as the DNC's. All your foot-stomping won't change that.

That's exactly right. You don't know, even though you insist on posting wild-eyed conjecture and idiotic assumptions.

Do you have anything to post other than ignorant personal attacks?

Criminy. If you’re trying to look intelligent, it’s not working.
