"I'm NOT a RINO."

"Many of you used a term that I’d like to see outlawed from the vernacular of the party: RINO," he said, calling it a "pejorative term" that questioned one's purity.
Huckabee pointed out that he got a tweet from someone who complained that he was a RINO, which upset him.
"With all due respect, I’ve fought in the trenches of Republican politics for over two decades, but I wouldn’t pretend that I’m lord over determining who the real Republicans are versus the so-called RINOs," he said.

Of course he does. Goober was six months into his failed presidential run before he recognized that 80% of conservatives did not consider him a conservative, by any stretch.
He never did get a clue what it really means. He still thinks nanny-state socialist religious tyranny is conservative. It is not.
No problem. Vichy Republican is a better fit.
Huckster, don’t fight it. Wear your RINO horns proudly. They fit you well. Bob
Mike approached me on the beach not to long ago and we chatted for about ten minutes, nothing too serious and asked him if I could come by his house and “talk” more in depth on various things which he replied “certainly”.
Guess it’s time to go by there.
“Now, what sort of a person wants to ban words, Mr. Huckabee? I’ll give you a hint - it isn’t a conservative.”
Never trust a “minister” who plays a Bass!
RINOs are those who either don’t know the ideological divide, or don’t live on the right side of it, or don’t admit that this is a completely ideological realpolitik we are living out at the present time.
It’s time that this stark reality be brought to bear on ALL politics, but especially at the national level.
Huckabee is a RINO...of course he does not like the term...
Well, here's a hint Mike: Any senator with a letter "R" behind his/her name that voted with Barney Frank and Harry Reid and against the GOP position more than 10% of the time would qualify as a RINO.
YES! That is one that should stick well and is the truth.
Banning the term RINO is an attack on FREE SPEECH, just like all political correct agendas.
“I said, ‘Let’s not stand out here like this.
What would the neighbors think?
Why don’t we just step inside,
And I’ll fix us both a drink.’”
Touching. Very touching.

And BTW, Huck old boy...go back and read the 1st amendment.
He would prefer to replace it with loser...like the last two Rino’s that have run and lost.
If he wants to get rid of the term RINO then maybe he should do something to get rid of RINOs.
“” I wouldn’t pretend that I’m lord over determining who the real Republicans are versus the so-called RINOs,” Huckabee said.”
Mike,
It is not difficult to spot a RINO. Just compare the voting record vs the Democrats. Heritage’s Scorecard has done it for you.
He’s right. We should do a “FIND and REPLACE”.
Was: RINO
Is: DUMBO
Especially when one of your pardoned ex-cons goes out west and shoots a couple of policemen in cold blood.
The back story was that the Huckster asked a bunch of black ministers what it would take for them to bus in their congregations to vote for him, and they said, “Pardon our guys!” So he did. And they did. And the pardoned thugs went right back to their old ways.
I remember when the liberals stopped using the term “liberal” because it was starting to stink. Republicans sometimes referred to it mockingly as the “L” word. So the MSM tried to shift over to “progressive” for a fresh start. The disguise only lasted a couple of years (we conservatives can be maddeningly slow to catch on) because the stink was still there.
Huckabee has now revealed his true colors. Stinko.
