[...] Huck said the same thing regarding Ramos and Compean when he appeared on the Laura Ingraham Show back on Dec 13, so it’s not a new line. During that same interview he ducked Laura’s direct questions [...]

Now Huckabee’s the “maverick”.

Hey man, being an outsider on foreign policy matters may not be such a good thing.

But without vouchers, then you are forced to fund government schools.

Beginning in the 1940s and 50s, Reagan spent a great deal of time thinking, writing, speaking and strategizing about the Soviet threat. Communism was the foremost issue on Reagan’s mind for several decades. By the time he ran in 1980 (his second run for the presidency, having been defeated for the GOP nomination by President Ford in 1976), Reagan had delivered hundreds of speeches on the subject. He therefore had a very long and very deep paper trail on foreign policy.

But Huckabee's been thinkin' about the real enemy.

Here's a more universal version of Michelle's NY Post headline. I have a feeling that we're going to get a lot of use out of it.

Every time Huck is called-out on his past/current stupidity and/or associations, he always does the “well…you gotta do what cha gotta do” or “well…you have to work with people and meet them in the middle”, etc, etc…

This guy is a joke. That is exactly what the shamnesty morons were doing/saying to explain all that crapola also.

I wish someone would jump on his “no one could have known what that convicted rapist would do once released amoung our female population” line. And it seems the victims families, not the media, are the ones who brought the issue to light.
What was that about he’s going to read about the Compean and Ramos’ pardon(is that some sort of way out of pardoning them if, gulp, elected). Tanc mentioned yesterday pardoning them without any reading(re:your first hundred days as POTUS question).

What did he say that bared his jugular? I zoned out pretty quickly, to tell the truth, and I don’t particularly want to listen again.

Listening to the whole interview, she let him duck several questions. She never does that. The Mexican consulate question, e.g.

Huckabee gives me the creeps – and I cannot pin point why. jake-the-goose on December 13, 2007 at 10:35 AM

I second that. Go with your gut. Huckles needs to go back to R-KANSAS.

More: Peter Schweizer’s Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism is a great resource on Ronald Reagan’s nearly lifelong battle to defeat Communism. I can think of one person who would benefit from reading it.

That was an awesome book. Highly recommended reading for anyone. Also, Reagan In His Own Hand is another one I would recommend - letters written by RR himself, including many on foreign policy issues. The book makes it abundantly clear that he had given considerable thought in this area long before he ever ran for president.

[...] Point and counterpoint. I noted Huckabee’s dodge on the matricula consular card in the previous post. Michelle nails him on that dodge, among other things. [...]

Same here. I believe every word of the stories indicating the Dems glee with Huck. I think the Dems and the media are salivating at the chance to run againt him. He's a flash-in-the-pan but if he should get the nod, he will be the GOP Dukakis.

He bared his jugular for Laura and for the first time I know of, she did not go for it.

A shame there are only two conservatives participating in the Republican primaries. And neither Duncan Hunter nor Fred Thompson appear capable of winning.

These guys need to figure out that grabbing for Reagan’s mantle just doesn’t work. All it does id invite the instant thought in all conservatives’ minds: “You, sir, are no Ronald Reagan!” Yes, many of us wish for another Reagan. But trying to blatantly say you’re like Reagan only highlights how much you’re not like Reagan. Get a clue, candidates!

Huckabee seems to be a political paradox. How can he be so left on Gitmo, etc. and so right on the 2nd Amendment?

I couldn’t get further than, “we need to build curriculum around the students and not around the schools.” Meaningless platitudes. This guy leaves my soul feeling greasy.

So he’s giving a good pardon. After pardoning all those rapists and murderers, eventually he’s got to get a good one. Big whoop.
