In my mind, I know that a real conservative would totally reject a ‘common education enforced by the federal government from sea to shining sea with common materials, lectures, timing.’
If that isn’t socialist assimilation via brainwashing propaganda, then this conservative doesn’t know what those things look like.
And Huckabee supports that.
yep he does, proving he is not a conservative. Oh, he holds to some conservative positions, but he lacks the intelligence and depth to be instinctively conservative.
I would also mention that he often ran against conservative talk radio in 2007-08 - again, proving very poor instincts and a lack of situational awareness. He’s a joke.
or, he’s just an economic ignoramus
He’s more fiscally liberal than Bush.
No thanks, Huck.
Get effed, Huck.
“If the party wants to nominate somebody who can be very articulate in what we’re against, I’m probably not the best guy at that, but I think that what I can articulate is what we’re for,” he said. “I don’t think you can make people fearful enough and mad enough to get elected. You may make them fearful enough and mad enough, you know, maybe to get exercised and go scream at a rally. But to get them to go vote and to vote for you, I do think you have to give them something that they believe is going to make the election result in a different direction of the government.”

Huckleberry might not be the person I would most want...but I can’t disagree about needing someone who articulates what they want to do vs a pol that just says what they’re against.
The vast majority of American voters are not politically savvy and will need a rallying cry by an articulate, accomplished politician who is believable and trustworthy to get them to the voting booth.
Is Huckleberry THAT person?
I don’t think so....but then I didn’t think Obama would win either.
