Next you'll tell me he didn't lose all that weight through "willpower" and dieting but instead with a lap-band...

Huckabee has in just a few years racked up at least $253,000 in private air travel bills on the way to political events,

250,000 in a FEW YEARS.

Sheeeeyit. How much TAXPAYER money does Soetoro spend in one day flying from fundraiser to fundraiser. Millions no doubt.

Go away, Huck. You will not be president. And please, take that dopey Akin with you.

I’m no Huckabee fan but if I was him I’d fart in the general direction of politico.com.

...and so it starts going after posible Republican candidates. I think this is the 2nd hit piece on a posible Republican candidate I have seen lately.

He said it brings him closer to G-d.

And he pays for it, too. I know that’s extreme, radical, a threat to the Republic, or what’s left of it.

I cannot imagine Huckabee as our President following this act of the radical Leftist Democrats. Not at all.

We need to elect a leader who not only tells it like it is, but backs up what they say with action no matter how severe the action necessary for whatever be the circumstance.

The aisle has to be widened so much there isn’t any possibility of anyone reaching across it.

Left is Left, and Right is Right, and NEVER the twains shall meet. (Yeah, yeah I know East, West, but doesn’t fit what I’m saying here.) No good comes of it.

Big whoop.

Wealthy Media type spends lots of money flying in private jets.

And in other news Zero spends millions campaigning around the country while ignoring every crisis he manufactured.

My thought exactly. If he’s paying with his money who cares? Certainly not me!

I don’t care if he hitchhikes, I’ll never vote for him.

If I could afford or have regular access to a private plane, I’d have a habit, too. I love flying.

And this guy's a Republican.

Talk about "brand" problems.

Are they complaining about someone paying for Huckster to be flown privately?

Who cares? It saves a ton of time....

My husband had the opportunity to fly on corporate jets for 25 years on his business trips. We're not rich - it's just the way people (at all levels) traveled at his company. He tells me that he wouldn't have traded those trips for anything. They were quiet, fast and very comfortable.

Mike Huckabee thinks that we should vote for liberals if they're Republicans. This is the man who thinks that the LORD's valuable time is best spent on getting himself and others to quit eating cheeseburgers, so maybe he can go cast his lots with the PETA crowd. He'd be more welcome there than he would be with conservatives.

I’ve flown on Air Force and Army small jets which were probably very similar and I agree.

Yep. Flying in private jets does not make Huckabee a twit. He’s already demonstrated that fact in several dozen different ways.
