Mike Huckabee is going to run for president in 2016. While he won't make that official until next Tuesday, he released a two-minute video on Friday that both previews the themes on which he will run and shows why he may be the most underrated candidate in the field.

I wish Huck the Hick would just go back to Bug Tussle or wherever he’s from.

He has every right to run. Let’s hear everyone and each pick our favorite. The whole bully tactic of trying to get fellow voters to abandon their favorite candidate is just wrong. Persuade? Fine Bash? I’ll just dig in and turn against the basher’s candidate.
I like Huckabee and Cruz. Unfortunately Cruz has some rude supporters who are doing him no favors.

We’re not Huckabee-haters, we’re incompetent-haters.
As in, The Huckster, while Governor, used his power to release a high-risk felon from his prisons, against popular advice, and that felon went on a killing spree in Seattle that left cops dead.
See, no hatin’, just statin’. Huckabee is an idiot.

The Huckster was vetted in the past and found wanting.

Huckabee has one purpose: to take evangelical votes away from Cruz and Walker.
Cruz and Walker are getting to much trending.
Huckabee played the part in 2008 to get McCain the nomination against Romney.
Per some threads, however, Huckabee doesn’t seem to be generating as much enthusiasm as he did in 2008 in Iowa. If that holds, he might be one of the early drop outs.

Sincerely doubt that.
Anyone who tries and put a faker like Huckabee in the same class as Cruz, a true constitutional conservative, either lacks a lot political knowledge, really isn't all that concerned about the constitution and the proper role of government, or is lying through their teeth.

Don’t forget the pardoned rapist who raped and murdered a Missouri woman after his release.

Huckaliar will never get my vote.
But, he does bring back some of my childhood memories. In those days the movie theaters always put on a cartoon right before the main event. Huckabeeee is todays cartoon. Strangely, I do not feel motivated to watch any Huckabeee cartoons.
Suddenly I am thinking of buttered popcorn.

You are doing Cruz no favors.
B.S.
You are doing conservatives no favors by supporting a candidate whose sole purpose is to take votes away from candidates who can actually win the nomination (which Huckabee can't) and give the nomination to a sure loser like Bush or Rubio.
You want to talk about doing disservice?
Look at your own actions.

Common Core is a non issue to me. Public schools have many more problems than just facing a nationalized standard for reading and math. The answer? Home school. Private school. Anything but public school. And that’s not because of common core. That’s because of the liberal nonsense fed to the kiddies.

To: SoConPubbie; The Ghost of FReepers Past
From your pro-homosexual website link:
I dont support what Common Core has become in many states or school districts, Huckabee said. Look, Im dead set against the federal government creating a uniform curriculum for any subject. I oppose the collection of personal data on students that would identify them and then track them, and certainly any effort to give that personal information to the federal government. I am steadfast in my belief that parents parents should ultimately decide the best venue for their childrens education, whether its public schools, private schools, religious schools, or home schools, Huckabee added.
To: SoConPubbie
What is it about Cruz that attracts so many rude people? I like the man but his supporters remind me of the Buchanan supporters. It is a BIG turn off.

. He split the votes in the primary in 2008, giving us McCain. Are you kidding? Thank God it wasn't Mitt Romney.
Huckabee helped us in 2008.

Thank God we stopped Romney in 2008.
Romney was far more liberal than all of them.

And yet, those words, where he states they should re-brand and resell are his.
At best, Huckabee is duplicitous. At worst, he is an out and out liar.
