At least Chuck has the decency to make his endorsement without bashing every other decent conservative in the race. That said, there’s no way I can support Huckabee. As great as he is on most social issues, he has zero credibility on fiscal issues, border security, and limited government.

Well stated

And you are wildly and flagrantly wrong.

Then, who in your opinin does? From where I'm sitting I don't see any candidate with credibility on any of those issues. Guliani? Nope. Romney? No way. McCain? He and the Senate have failed the U.S. on all those issues. Run Paul? He's a crazy loon and doesn't even know that we face a real enemy. Whose left? Tancredo? Hunter? Thompson? Where are there credentials in any of those areas? Where were Bush's credentials? Clinton's? Bush the father is the last President who could boast experience in security matters, but none on fiscal issues or limited government. Reagan? He was Governor of California, but not too many people even knew what experience he brought to the White House based on those credentials in 1980. So, why is Huckabee being held to a higher standard than any of these others? Just so you know, I've not yet decided upon who I will vote for. But, I'm not going to base my decision soley on the basis of the person's credentials as no one running, Republican or Democrat, can boast all the credentials that any person or group would demand. I'm looking for someone who can stand up and lead, not on what they might have done in the past. So far I have not heard leadership from anyone.

Well, I too, am a FREDERALIST and I'm in the Hunt for a Red November...but our guy didn't do as well as Huckabee did in the debate. I was so surprised you could've knocked me over with a feather when Huckabee mentioned a need to decisively defeat the Law of the Sea Treaty pushed by both Bush regimes and the Clintons.

Huckabee also was pretty decisive, it seemed to me on the need to secure the borders and exactly how he would accomplish that mission. Fred's my man but at the debate he was good for some good quips while Huckabee scored points with conservatives.
