And the poster who says I am anti-Christian and have a rabid hatred of Hispanics now tells me I lack class????
My reasons for opposing Huckabee have a rationale.
Your defense of him is absolutely irrational.
So Elmer Gantry is just like a “Nazi” and a “nigger” to you?
And no, opposing giving public benefits to illegal aliens doesn't indicate an irrational fear (or hatred) of Mexicans.
I didn't even mention Mexicans until you did. I said Illegal aliens. In your irrational mind are all illegal aliens Mexican? Does opposing giving them benefits indicate an irrational fear and hatred?
If so there are a LOT of fearful and hateful people here on Free Republic according to your irrational idiocy.
Huckabee...
thinks it Unchristian to not give benefits to illegal aliens.
apparently thinks pardons should be handed out freely if the prisoner repents.
doesn't know that George H.W. Bush was an incumbent defeated for re-election.
thinks Obama was raised in Kenya.
thinks single mothers would have children starving if not for welfare.
is a tax raising, big government, nanny state ELMER GANTRY.
You had better wake up and get your emotions in check. Huckabee is NOT a good choice for POTUS. However, he may well be the only one in the current field with a solid chance. He has strong backing in the Southern States. He is one of the few that can get the GOP base of Conservative Evangelicals to back him....whether you like him or not. There is definite Palin fatigue out there.....she becomes less relevant everyday. Bachman shows promise, but I see her more as a VP. I’m disgruntled with Huckabee over his non stand on DADT (as I am with Palin). The stuff you bring up is just meaningless to me and childish whining (of course issues are a personal decision).
You are right about one thing that has puzzled me as well. Why has Huckabee made some the really dumb statements he has lately. The one about Obama being raised in Kenya definitely stands out. Like I keep telling you, I only supported him in 2008 because an Army buddy, that I respect, thought highly of Mike. He is NOT my horse, but I don’t have a horse at this time. My ONLY goal is to get a GOP nominee that is unwaivingly socially/morally conservative....and strong on national defense (to include our borders). If that means some “nanny state” stuff...it doesn’t affect me because I don’t smoke, drink, overeat, gamble, etc. and think things would be a little better if there were less of the above. I want to see an end to:
1. Abortion
2. Homosexualization of the nation
3. Further moral decay
4. Destruction of our military
If these are right, I know that the rest will fall into place.
