Since when did anybody ever call Huckabee a conservative leader?
I was incredulous when Huckabee rhetorically asked that if Obama’s citizenship had been in question, why didn’t Hillary and McCain make an issue of it for political gain? In the case of Clinton, she was duking it out in Democratic primaries. To have even hinted that Obama might to be what he appears to be vis-a-vis his purported Hawaiian birth would have been political suicide. She would have been labeled a racist and dispensed with. McCain has his own ‘natural born’ challenges, specifically a Panamanian birth. To his credit, McCain didn’t hold back any document that might shed light on both his qualifications to be president as well as his health (some 150 pages of health records). Contrast that with Obama who released a one-page summary of his health and little else (the well-known laundry list of sealed and secreted documents going back to high school).
The editor of Politico (the hatchet man Ben Smith’s boss) said on CNN’s Reliable Sources that a significant number of Birthers are racist who can’t accept an African-American president. I hope all of us Birthers have thick hides. The MSM are poised to shoot all the poison darts in their arsenal in order to prevent Obama from being outed as the presidential usurper that he most certainly is. The race card will also be used to provoke blacks and other minorities into all manner of protest (including, sadly, violence) in reaction to any attempt to remove Obama from office.
That, Gov. Huckabee, is why leading politicians are loathe to address the elephant/donkey in the room. (See? I covered both political parties.) ‘Conservatives’ like Coulter and Huckabee are just as keen in seeing all of this go away as are the Democrats. Domestic tranquility will be at grave risk as all of this unfolds. Just ask FEMA.
