Huckabee presents the best choice for Reagan supporters

Gwinnett Daily Post ^ | 1-22-2008 | U.S. Rep. John Linder, R-GA

Interesting, our spell check just replaced Huckabee with Hakeem in my post...

Hum...

[LordBridey]

Finally someone displays a better understanding of history and what propelled Reagan to electoral success than Limbaugh, et. al. and acknowleges that Huckabee is closest to that template.

It is utterly ridiculous to villify Huckabee the way he has been on radio and on these threads. Even the MSM has tried to limit Huckabee's appeal to evangelicals, when there are far more qualities that Huckabee possesses and that should make him an extremely attractive candidate for the Republican faithful as well as and more importantly, the squooshy middle, come November.

Huckabee has shown that he is the best campaigner by far than any of the remaining opponents. With the least money, the least name recognition, and the most constant barrage of calumny aimed at him, he is still holding his own.

He is by far the best the rep. party has to go against the Clinton machine.

McCain is too old and unpredictable, Giuliani too associated with one issue and lacks any comparable experience, and Romney is just Romney. His melt down when asked a question by that AP reporter showed a man who prone to panic. If his financial advantages, and his photogenic looks and political lineage can only produce such a tepid response, he will be no match for the Clintons.

The Clintons are the N.E. Patriots of politics. We have to appreciate how they overcame a double digit deficit in New Hampshire to squeak out a win. A truly amazing feat. So we have to put up our best player, our best politician, our hardest worker, our most likable guy if we are to prevent another eight years of the Clinton nightmare.

So I take it you are in favor of national anti smoking laws as well, just like Huck... Very Fascist of you... When did you convert?

FWIW, Huckabee's comments about being willing to sign a smoking ban should have been taken with a grain of salt. The has said he will not try to ban smoking. For one thing, he respects the 10th Amendment too much.

But, go back to joining the others in trashing up what remains of FR.

Good analysis.

FreeRepublic.com is teetering on the top of the shark’s fin right now, IMHO.

[cinives]

LOL

[Ditter]

I don’t think so, Scooter!

[WayneM]

Dang, Unspun. This hasn’t gone too well. Maybe you had best lay low for a while.

[Uncle Miltie]

Throw up a tent in the South, and a Huckster is what you get.

[Sudetenland]

Hey man, stop bogartin’ them drugs and give the rest of us some.

[unspun]

FreeRepublic.com is teetering on the top of the shark’s fin right now, IMHO So why are you here?

To distinguish actual American conservatism and original Republicanism for awhile yet, amidst the absolute-minimalist Utopians.

(And put in a word for our best presidential candidate, for the lurking readers.)

[Clara Lou]

I’m disgusted today. So, I’ll just say it straight: You are full of unadulterated bovine fertilizer.

Huckabee isn’t worth spit.

[donnab]

then do not whine when people don’t agree with you and bemoan the falling fate of Free Republic just because we do not love Huck.

[unspun]

Pardon. This quote was mine:

[the808bass]

Huckabee will get most of these except for the uninformed that don’t understand mormonism and the danger it poses for Christians.

If they were solely socons, why wouldn't they have already gone to Huck? He's maxed out his support. Plateau reached in Iwegia and falling.

LDS WEBSITE:

On first hearing, the doctrine that Lucifer and our Lord, Jesus Christ, are brothers may seem surprising to some—especially to those unacquainted with latter-day revelations. But both the scriptures and the prophets affirm that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are indeed offspring of our Heavenly Father and, therefore, spirit brothers. Jesus Christ was with the Father from the beginning. Lucifer, too, was an angel “who was in authority in the presence of God,” a “son of the morning.” (See Isa. 14:12; D&C 76:25–27.) Both Jesus and Lucifer were strong leaders with great knowledge and influence. But as the Firstborn of the Father, Jesus was Lucifer’s older brother. (See Col. 1:15; D&C 93:21.)

FWIW, Huckabee's comments about being willing to sign a smoking ban should have been taken with a grain of salt.

Should all his positions be taken with a grain of salt or just certain ones?
