This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:
"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base."
"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.
It all begins to add up and becomes a big wall that you just can’t ignore, doesn’t it?
Enquiring minds want to know - what does pissant think?
Even the great Ronald Reagan would not be welcome in today's FR climate considering the demand for 100% purity.
Reagan, I'm sure you've repeatedly read, signed into law in 1967 the biggest state funded abortion plan up to that time.
Reagan passed amnesty. Reagan passed a huge Social Security tax increase.
Reagan wimped out when US Marines were attacked in Beruit, Lebanon in 1983.
Reagan supported Richard Nixon, the wage & price freezer, and the China lover.
My point, of course, is that many FR hardliners are DEMANDING purity of 100% conservatism, when in reality that is not even possible.
Heck, even the "perfect" Duncan Hunter today threw his "perfect" conservative record squarely behind Mike Huckabee, the biggest pro-Illegal immigrant Governor in America.
The Hunter goes off the edge. Go Mitt!!!
BTW, in case you didn’t just switch topics on my, but misunderstood my post, NRTL is National Right to Life, not a gun group. They endorsed Thompson as the pro-life candidate with the best chance of winning.
Now that he is gone, their endorsement I guess is up for grabs. Romney worked hard for that endorsement before it went to Thompson, but given the NRTL criteria I could see them going with Huckabee since he HAS been strong on the pro-life issue, one of the few things I really like about him.
No one’s head is exploding. We are just surprised.
Bringing in this many 3rd world illegals would not only destroy the United States economically but culturally and in every way possible.
This is the plan of these Marxists like Huckabee, McCain , Hillary and the Democrats. They know that these millions of illegals will vote for Democrats and for socialism. So they import voters from the 3rd world. This is cultural Marxism as well as economic Marxism .
And we will all be starving just like in every socialist state like the USSR, Eastern Europe, N Korea, Cuba.
Hunter was my first choice because he seemed to be strong on illegal immigration. Now that he endorsed Huckabee I feel I made a mistake and that Hunter is either an idiot, totally ignorant, very gullible, a liar, or all of the above. And I would not support Hunter under any circumstances now just like I won’t support Huckabee the Huckster.
Mike Huckabee. The Socialist From Arakansas.Huckabee Begs For New Taxes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pLOC4krZI4Mike Huckabee is to the left of even Sam Brownback and John McCain on immigration. He claimed God wants us to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. As Governor of Arkansas he advocated letting illegal aliens vote.
While Huckabee is now lying and saying he is dedicated to fighting illegal immigration, his record is clear.
Fact #1. As Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee denounced an immigration bill (Arkansas Senate Bill 206) that “would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and would have required state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally.” (Doug Thompson, “Immigration Bill un-Christian..governor says”Arkansas News Bureau 1/28/05)
Fact #2. As Governor, Mike Huckabee offered a proposal to give state funded scholarships and state benefits to illegal aliens. (Laura Kellams, “Huckabee Plan would give aid to illegal aliens” Arkansas Democrat Gazette 1/12/2005)
Fact #3. Governor Huckabee supported the McCain-Kennedy Senate Amnesty bill for illegal aliens. Huckabee claims to know GodÂ’s position on the Amnesty Bill, and that God supports it. Huckabee has repeated called opponents of illegal immigration “racists” and/or “bigots.” Read Article. , Read Article #2
Fact #4. Governor Huckabee refuses to sign the “No Amnesty Pledge”.
Huckabee Caught Lying About His Tax Hikes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYrGlfkvRV0&feature=related
Huckabee is a pro-illegal, pro-Amnesty, tax raising, big government loving, socialist/liberal, violent criminal pardoning, terrorist appeasing, false prophet. In other words Huckabee is really a Democrat.
Under no circumstances will I ever vote for this liberal/communist con man.
The Huckster Huckabee or Hillary will let in hundreds of millions of 3rd world socialist illegals.
The Huckster or Hillary will surrender to Iran and let Iran build a nuclear arsenal.
The Huckster or Hillary will raise taxes and increase the size of government putting the U.S. on the road to socialism which will destroy our way of life, destroy our economy, destroy our civilization.
If you think I'm exaggerating look at Huckabee's record and into the dangers of socialism.
But hey , the idiot Huckster lies and says he is pro-life so that makes all of this ok huh?
Mike Huckabee disses Americans, Mexicans, promotes illegal immigration

Christians Need To Beware Of Mike Huckabee
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2007/cbarchive_20071102.html
While Gov. of Arkansas, Huckabee was AGAINST proving citizenship in order to register to vote. He called those who were in favor of this “racists”..
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050218/news_lz1e18perkins.html
Huckabee fought hard to kill an Arkansas bill which would have cut off social services for illegal aliens. Huckabee called the bill, “anti-Christian” and “un-American”...
http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/01/28/News/316347.html
Huckabee supported in-state tuition for illegal aliens...
http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/03/11/News/318458.html
HuckabeeÂ’s opposition to the illegal aliens bill:
If Fred endorses McCain then I might just jump into that Ron Paul crazy train with you.
I always tell my wife, “Look at the movies. When it’s the end of the world it was the crazy guy that was correct all along”.
...and there’s that, too
“Like most of the charges against Huckabee, it was taken out of context, distorted wildly, then put through a partisan media amplifer turned up to 11.”
Right. So, here is the key sentence from the contexzt you just posted...
“What he (Huckabee) proposed was letting the children of illegal aliens in Arkansas, who had no say over where they lived and whom the state is required by federal law to educate, be eligible for state college tuition breaks...
See those words. He wanted to allow ILLEGAL AlENS to be eligeable for college tuition breaks.
People who have no right to be here in the first place, get a break over a US citizen from Missouri? No thanks. I stand by my statement. That Hunter must have been asleep during that debate.
Huckabee isn’t a RINO. He says that his most important issue is securing the border and deporting illegals. He wants to build the fence and hire more border patrol agents. Last week, he signed a “No Amnesty” pledge. While he was a governor, he cut taxes and fees 90 times. He also proved, while governor, that he’s pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage. Which of those views is liberal?
Well, lets say that the 'ladies' dancing in the picture profess the same 'conservative' principles I just listed...
Does that mean the ladies are 'CONSERVATIVES'? if not, WHY NOT?
Not so when you apply the 'Social-Conservatives' principles...
SEE THE DIFFERENCE? LOL
Didn’t you know. Ann’s a Romney fan.
a brokered convention sounds better all the time.
He wouldn’t. That’s why nobody’s talking about it.
The Fairtax is completely independent of being socialist. It is designed to be revenue neutral, so it does NOTHING to take money away from government. It’s billed to be progressive, with it’s poverty-level prebates and natural inclination to tax people who spend more money, so it doesn’t change the socialist aspect of our tax code.
He has said he wants government to interfere in my life. Whether he wants to spend money to do so or not I can’t say. Socialist may not be the right word. Nanny-stater is probably more accurate.
Just when you think you have everything figured out...
This presidential season is wackier than the recent college football season.
You wont accomplish a dam* thing by that. Strength in numbers. Willard is not just shaky on the 2nd, he clearly dislikes it.
LOL. FReepers are freaking out!
Time to burn your photos of Duncan Hunter!
