“I love Huckabee, but hes too much of a softy to serve as president. Soft on criminals, soft on illegals, soft on holding the line against tax and spend liberals. No thanks. Hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams in the entertainment field.”
Jim you are being obtuse and “soft” in the head. I don’t want, or expect, you to endorse Huckabee, I want you to stop folks from using your forum to wrongly trash Huckabee out of political opportunism and Baptist bashing, etc. This is NO better than the behavior of liberals in the Dem party.
I guess you are part of the problem not part of the solution. Until you, and others, wake up and realize this....the GOP and conservatism is fried. There is NO perfect candidate...never will be.
I’m not saying that failure to support Huckabee is wrong. I’m saying ridiculous, over the top, attacks on him are. I’m trully disappointed you don’t have the class to stop it on your forum.
So long Huckleberry!...We hardly knew ye!
Having to bury four young law enforcement officers because Huckabee couldn't keep his nose out of the justice system in Arkansas is disgusting.
“FACT: Huckabee was and seems to remain TOO SOFT ON CRIME.
So you need to add a category.”
Be honest and tell me who you support in the primary????
My sincere sympathies to you all. Politicians like Mike Huckabee don’t deserve one once of sympathy when they turn someone loose like this....
No Huck, you are disgusting. People, lots of people, lots of conservative people, told you to stop with your insane pardons. As usual, you listened to the bleeding heart commies instead.
Mike Huckabee: a Republican Bill Clinton.
Huck is toast. Don’t waste your breath supporting him now.
Mike left the ministry for the "higher calling" of politics, and I guess he brought too much of his ministry along with him because during his terms as governor he commuted the sentences of 1,100 prisoners, one of which was Clemmons.
Now, he goes onto Joe Scarborough's radio show of all places to complain that his decision to commute Clemmons' sentence is being politicized in a disgusting manner!
Well, what did he expect after Clemmons executed 4 police officers in Washington state? Politics ain't bean bag and he's the guy who chose politics.
Clemmons would be sitting in an Arkansas prison cell, but for Governor Huckabee commuting his 95 year sentence, which made him eligible for parole. He was paroled and he violated that parole and that should have ended his venture back into compassionate society.
But no, he was given a second chance. I think Mike Huckabee is looking for a same second chance. Good luck with that.
But heavy on smoke nazi rules, heavy on food nazi rules, heavy on gov’t healthcare, heavy on “compassion”
I agree with you. I still think Clemmons shot those officers,Not Huckabee.
Well, if you truly feel that way perhaps you should vote with your feet.
Free Republic is a conservative site! RINOs are the enemy within!
Huckabee made a mistake. He knows it, and is sick about its result; the death of police.
I don’t see any indication of this. On O’Reilly last night, he said he “wasn’t happy about it”. Maybe I didn’t hear his apology. It’s sickening what the cops and prosecutors and judges have to go through to get someone like Clemmons off the streets only to have politicians let them out. Yes, I know there were other breakdowns in the system, but if Huckabee had not acted, the perp would have died in prison.
That title certainly does not match his lame attempt at blaming everyone else.
Hey you! Good to see you here!!
Thanks pissant! Good to see you too!
I forgot that wonderful spoof song! LOL!
I agree. And it’s a day late and a dollar short.
Are you dining and dashing, or you gonna stick around for the 2010 elections?
