Huckabee on 2012: Let’s face it, no one’s better positioned to challenge Obama than I am
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 6, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/06/2010 5:21:30 PM PST by RobinMasters

I knew you guys hated him, but not until I saw the results of this weekend’s Hot Air mega-poll did I realize how much. Out of 17 presidential candidates named, he finished … 15th, just eight votes ahead of Rick Santorum and 10 votes ahead of, er, Donald Trump. Palin won the poll with 1181 votes and Chris Christie came second with 745. Huckabee’s total take: 32. Dude?

The word on the primaries lately from everyone from Palin to Rove is that competition is wunderbar, that the more candidates we have battling for the nomination, the better served voters are by having more options, etc. Just wondering: Does that logic apply to Huck too? Think carefully before you answer, because if there’s anyone who’s poised to hurt Palin by peeling off social cons, blue-collar voters, and women (yes, really), it’s him.

How so, Mike? Did God help you raise those guys from the dead? You know, the ones who got killed because you commuted the guys who killed them? Because if they’re still dead, you’re not making it out of the primaries. Ever.

Huckelberry should challenge obeyme, in the democratic primary. He is the most like the chosen one. Both love taxes, the higher the better. They both like to see criminals released. They both hate America.

Some posters simply troll these threads looking to cause distraction and disruption. Imho, they are also attention seekers.

You girls sound exactly like a couple of 13 year old air-heads...you do realize that, don't you? No, of course you don't.

btw...You do realize that you are doing to Huckabee the exact same thing that you bitch about the MSM doing to Palin, don't you? No, of course you don't.

Why does Huckabee scare you so much?

What reaction? That's how he looks unmasked, uglier inside, ugly outside.

Please help me spread the truth about this Huckabee on forums such as this etc.

Huckabee is the socialist from Arkansas that couldn’t do enough for illegals when it was governor there.
This Huckabee creep has got to go!

Was Mike Huckabee “just like Bill Clinton?” Maybe, but some would actually say he was to the left of Bill Clinton. As Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee’s tax and spend record greatly exceeded former AR Gov. Bill Clinton. He even wanted to tax the internet.

Mike Huckabee is to the left of even Sam Brownback and John McCain on immigration. He claimed God wants us to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. As Governor of Arkansas he advocated letting illegal aliens vote.

While Huckabee is now lying and saying he is dedicated to fighting illegal immigration, his record is clear.

As Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee passed a law that added major restrictions to the Arakansas Homeschool Rights Act passed by Bill Clinton, making Arkansas one of the most hostile state to homeschoolers outside of the Northeast. Homeschoolers in Arkansas had more rights when Clinton left office than when Huckabee left office.

Mike Huckabee was the keynote speaker at the 2007 NEA national convention!

Much more on this site:

http://cofcc.org/2007/10/conservative-huckabee/

It is a liar, a false prophet. It is lying now saying it is conservative. Please help spread the truth.

How old is the pic of the Huckster used to make that graphic? That looks to be 80 pounds ago.

Since one of the “Deliverance” looking lads escaped serious animal abuse charges because of daddy’s position it’s a fair game pic to post. It’s not the weight issues that is problematic in that picture.

Huckabee is not fit to be the POTUS when he abused his authority to protect his son over torturing and killing an animal.

I'm no Huckabee supporter, never have been. I was pointing out the adolescent behaviour of certain posters who revel in the photogenic Palin and post these pics as if they in some way confer ability to one and the lack of ability to the other.

It's a good thing Winston Churchill or Abe Lincoln aren't around for this childishness.

And, since these same posters state that the MSM mocks Palin out of fear I wonder what it is about Huckabee that scares them.

You can tell that his sons aren’t “right”. It comes out in the pic. The fact that Huckabee abused his position of authority to derail the criminal investigation of his son torturing and killing an animal makes it even worse.

He used poor judgment in making this an official photo which is par for the course in his long history of poor judgment like pardoning violent rapists and killers.

As far as trying to compare this to Churchill or Lincoln’s appearance, puhleeze. They were statesmen not some folksy smarmy preacher. I can’t picture Churchill letting violent rapists and murderers go free.

Sorry RangerM I read post 23 and it is not an answer to the question I asked....what is your definition of depth and what potential runner has it and why doesn't Palin have it....she is not for open borders, or Mitts health care if that is your opinion of depth, your a liberal and no conservative using that as your criteria...

No one that uses the lack of depth to argue against Palin, has never said what their definition of depth is and why others have it and she doesn't....

For some I think the reason they don't like Palin is because she is not a male....She is far more conservative than any males that have been mentioned so far. Even Newt thinks he is qualified, so does loser McCain, and these males have conservative depth of about 1/2 inch....

Those same people probably thought Dole had depth or McCain was deep. Bush was a great CIC but had no depth in domestic policy any deeper than Old Teddy Kennedy.

Sorry but depth was the word you used and #23 says nothing cause we cannot read your mind to decipher what you mean...

Again, What is your definition of political depth, the word you chose to use..

It just occured to me that for the 3 males to be in stripes is perhaps an unconscious message of what they should be wearing...some crooks are put in stripes...LOL

Here’s the way I see her “lack of depth”.

Like Sean Hannity, she can recite the rhetoric very well, but can she elaborate more in support of her position?

In other words, she may know the correct answer, but does she know—and can she effectively communicate—EXACTLY WHY it’s the correct answer?

Most interviews I’ve ever seen with her tells me no.

Feel free to call me a liberal if you wish. Believing that my opinion is based on gender, rather than a legitimate concern, is roughly akin to the Liberals’ cry of ‘racism’ at every argument against Obama. It’s a complaint without merit.

If Palin is our nominee (without a serious improvement in her image with moderates), we’ll both be called “Losers” in 2012. Except in my case, I will know the real reason we lost.
