Compared to those who preceded him (Bill J., for example), Huckabee probably was a "conservative".
More to the point, why are we slamming a (bottom of the) second tier candidate, even if he may not be everyone's idea of a great conservative, when we need unity more than ever. Secondly, you won't make Duck Hunter look better by making other Republicans look bad. Tell him to "just say yes" to that charisma transplant procedure.
I didn’t bring Hunter into this, you did. I’m not defending him, I’m going after a liberal republican who is trying to set himself up as a conservative.
And I will not “unite” behind a liberal just because that person has an R next to their name. That attitude gave us the “permanent majority” that lost to nancy pelosi and harry reid because our “unity” with liberal republicans made the party lose its way.
