Duncan Hunter endorses … Huckabee? What?

Mr. Border Fence is backing a guy who accused opponents of Bush’s immigration plan of nativism? Two days after Fred drops out because he can’t pull enough conservatives to beat John McCain?
Dude?
“I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” Huckabee said in a statement. “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,” he added. “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.”
The man who wants his foreign policy driven by the golden rule is the man to tame the Chinese dragon?
Am I hallucinating?
Update: What’s even odder is that Hunter’s often touted as a SecDef in the next Republican administration. Endorsing McCain, the frontrunner, would have helped him in that regard and given Maverick a boost with conservatives. Instead he throws his endorsement away on someone who’ll be done by February 6th.
I guess he just likes the guy.
Update: Joe Carter, Huck’s former research director, e-mails to say the nativism quote is being taken out of context:
Here is what he really said:
“I do believe some of it is driven by racism or nativism,” he said of the opposition within his party to Mr. Bush’s view that illegal aliens should not be deported but rather fined and eventually allowed U.S. citizenship.
When asked directly by the reporter if there wasn’t some xenophobia behind the opposition, Huckabee made the error of telling the truth. Having talked to more than a few anti-immigration extremist while on the campaign trail, I can attest that there is a segment of voters that is all for “throwing out the brown people.” Is that the majority of Republicans? Of course not. But it’s silly to pretend that the GOP doesn’t include its share of extremists.
Fair enough. Huckabee’s record on immigration goes way beyond that quote, though. Trot through Lonewacko’s archives sometimes and drink it in.

I’m not Jewish. I’m a Hebrew to You. Cultural ties to the people descended from Abraham, a thorough religious education, but absolutely no belief in the eccentricities of G-d.
And I don’t support Obama. I may just vote for him out of spite.
Are you insane? Do you REALLY think that? Stop drinking the kool-aid you frickin’ Huckabee crackheads.

Well this idiot loves the God of Abraham just as you do. Thusly I will disagree that *your* God hates me since it is the same God.
popularpolitics on January 23, 2008 at 6:11 PM
I have to second this. Intoning “God bless America” is one thing, but believing that Huckabee is God’s Chosen Candidate is so irrational as to be intolerable.
Redhead Infidel on January 23, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Gregor, just because it’s a belief of your religion to preach to non-believers doesn’t make it good or right. I may not be Jewish, but I appreciate that my religion of birth doesn’t send its followers on a mission to expand the faith.
We keep it in the family and that’s good enough for us.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:12 PM
Huh? It’s more the opposite.
This is the typical response. blah, blah, blah,
What?! Where does it say THAT in the Bible? Show me. Go ahead, give it a try. I’ll wait here.
Shame on you neocon secular Republica elite anti-God conservatives.
“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16
God blesses men, politician or not, and nations, and you’re characterization of the LORD is an offense.
“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” - Ronald Reagan”
Anyways, back to Duncan Hunter’s endorsement of Gov. Huckabee. Saaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!
apacalyps on January 23, 2008 at 6:12 PM
I want to know what you think about Israel giving up it’s land and leaving itself with 6-10 mile wide indefensible borders… you’re dodging the question!
You really don’t know that Mike Huckabee is the only candidate opposed to this??

That is a straw man if I have ever seen it. I don’t think for one second that Huck is God’s chosen one. I know he is MY chosen one, and that’s all I could possibly say.

HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Quite true.
Well, Hot Air is supposed to be a capitalistic enterprise, so I guess I can’t say they shouldn’t do stuff like that.
It was a wonderful place for the first year; Without the clutter and tripe that ruined Free Republic as a place to get and comment on the important news of the day… And the first batch of commentators, even the ones that I disagreed with, even the ones that really made me angry, were still obviously well informed and objective most of the time.
The second open registration brought in many good people and a few really obnoxious, ignorant ones. The third and fourth one seem to have allowed in VERY FEW good commentators and way too many nasty, ignorant, bomb throwing trolls.
It is getting so that I don’t want to spend as much time here as I used to. Until The Blog Studio / Mark Jaquith etc. can come up with an “ignore button” I think I’m going to try to spend less time here.
Probably be wise to spend less time following politics too. It is obvious that there are no really good choices, so to save what little sanity I have left, I should turn off the TV News aand the computer; spend more time in the workshop making stuff, take long hikes (even though it is freezing out), and pet the cat instead.
LegendHasIt on January 23, 2008 at 6:15 PM
You can fear and love God. In fact I would say they go hand in hand. And we can know what God wants inasmuch as the Bible proclaims what that is.
popularpolitics on January 23, 2008 at 6:15 PM
You don’t get out much. Israel is like the third rail of American politics. Nobody wants to get on the bad side of AIPAC. Except Ron Paul. Harald, you’re just simply ignorant about American politics. That’s probably why you support Huckabee…you just don’t care to research any other politicians.
What religion did Jesus practice again? Why are you quoting from a book written long after he lived?
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Obviously, Huckabee has incriminating photos of Duncan Hunter. That’s the only explanation.
bamapachyderm on January 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Screw Huckabee, he’s not a conservative ask Alan Keyes: http://www.alankeyes.com/issues.php
Mcguyver on January 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM
YOU may be able to fear and love G-d. I don’t have love for a ‘guy’ with his track record.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Why is it that in every thread all over teh internets about Huckabee, that the discussion ends up being a freaking Holy War?
Boo hiss.
bamapachyderm on January 23, 2008 at 6:18 PM
No, no, JD, Tuco doesn’t lie. It’s just that he’s in the “badlands” and you’re in NY - why does this make me laugh out loud? :):):)
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Hebrewtoyou,
From your lack of a direct response to my question I will assume you do support a palestinian muslim terrorist state in Israel with Jerusalem as it’s capitol and do support leaving Israel with indefensible 6-10 mile wide borders!
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:19 PM
I can name three in about 30 seconds.
You continually claim Huckabee is a true conservative while knowing full well that he’s not anything close to being a conservative. Being a Christian does not automatically make one conservative, as you seem to believe.
I’m sure you can figure out simply by reading this thread that Huckabee is about as likely to keep the GOP unified as Rosie O’Donnell will eventually be attractive.
You also lied and stated that Newt had endorsed him, which he had not.
These aren’t simple mistakes. You’ve been posting this nonsense for weeks and the facts have been repeatedly pointed out to you, yet you continue to repost the same garbage. You’re a liar, and an embarrassment to Christians.
Gregor on January 23, 2008 at 6:20 PM
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Otherwise you would be supoorting Mike Huckabee as he is the only candidate opposed to this.
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:21 PM
You can assume all you want.
I, personally, don’t care much for Israel or Israelis.
Take that as you will.
My only point was that Huckabee is not the only — nor the most — pro-Israel candidate out there.

HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:22 PM
If Mike Huckabee, HaraldHardrada, apacalyps and popularpolitics [updated] succeed in establishing religion as a basic Republican Party tenet, they could do us in. When you say ‘radical right’ today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and Mike Huckabee [updated] and others who are trying to take the Republican Party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye.
Well, I’ve spent quite a number of years carrying the flag of the ‘Old Conservatism.’ And I can say with conviction that the religious issues of these groups have little or nothing to do with conservative or liberal politics. The uncompromising position of these groups is a divisive element that could tear apart the very spirit of our representative system, if they gain sufficient strength. Being a conservative in America traditionally has meant that one holds a deep, abiding respect for the Constitution. We conservatives believe sincerely in the integrity of the Constitution. We treasure the freedoms that document protects. By maintaining the separation of church and state, the United States has avoided the intolerance which has so divided the rest of the world with religious wars. Can any of us refute the wisdom of Madison and the other framers?
The religious factions will go on imposing their will on others, less the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy. They must learn to make their views known without trying to make their views the only alternatives. We have succeeded for over 200 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn’t stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic.
Ever good Christian should line up and kick

Okay, this tells me you have no idea what you’re talking about. Mormon’s are NOT true Christians. I do agree they are nice people though. While I don’t agree with Mormons on just about everything, we could probably learn from them about family values because of their strong devotion to the family. But, Mormonism differs from Christianity in many ways. For example, the definition of God: in Christianity, there is one God, and that God is three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To the Mormons, there are gods beyond number. All current gods were once men. Men today have the potential to achieve god-status in the world to come. This alone makes Mormonism unlike anything having to do with Christianity in any known historical form.
The other differences are many, but we don’t really need to discuss them. If you have God wrong, you have everything wrong.
Mormonism is a strange American folk religion, no more. It is not Christianity.
This language is worse than most everything else I have seen on this board.

Okay, now you’re just showing yourself to be ignorant.

Barry Goldwater is just a scumbag ron paul supporter and a loser(remember Goldwater was responsible for Jimmah Carter.
Ronald Reagan was the real deal and was an evangelical..in fact it was Reagan who brought the evangelicals back to the GOP i.e. Reagan democrats.
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:26 PM
They believe in some form of divinity for Jesus Christ. Sounds like Christianity to me.
Gregor, please explain. Where in the Hebrew faith is there a tenet that G-d loves everyone?
I’m heart broken. But here’s some news for you: you can dislike Israel and not be an Anti-Semite.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Wow. Just plain wrong.
Huckabee supports guns and the second amendment. Opposes “gun-control”. (Conservative position)
Huckabee supports low taxes and has even signed a no tax pledge. (conservative position)
Huckabee supports a sealed border and deportation of illegals (conservative position)
Huckabee supports satying in Iraq until we win and win with honor (conservative position)
Huckabee is pro-life (conservative position)
Huckabee is pro-traditional marriage (conservative position)
Huckabee has on several occasions talked about the government being limited and letting states be the deciders.
Not even close to being a conservative huh? That is quite an astounding statement.

Afraid I wasn’t clear in stating my thoughts better, but Ann Coulter is simply one more example of a worldwide problem with freedom of speech. Whether I agree or disagree with her has nothing to do with it, or my dislike of any writer or pundit for that matter. What is of concern is that pundits and writers are being prosecuted for hate speech over nothing more than their use of language that is found to be offensive to another person or group. It is a dangerous slope and any one of us could face prosecution in some countries. Now is not the time to start tinkering with the Constitution.

You’re an idiot, Harald. I don’t like Israel because I don’t like any nation founded on the basis of a religious identity. Israel is a good ally of the US, but I don’t have any desire to visit and I’ve had very unfavorable results from my meetings with Israelis.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:36 PM
LegendHasIt, forgive, I meant to comment, above, on your statement that I feel the same, were it not for the entertainment the latter part provides. But, yes, there is a consideration to slow down in favor of more ‘normal’ endeavours.

HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Spare me. If u want to debate what conservatism is, we can do that. But I maintain that Gov. Huckabee is a conservative, a 21st Century conservative. Just because he doesn’t subscribe to the Robber baron conservatism of days gone by doesn’t make him a liberal.
apacalyps on January 23, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Errr … it does if you’re a Christian. You simply can’t comprehend this obviously. If you believe in Jesus, then you believe he walked the Earth spreading his message and he taught others to do the same. If you say you believe in God but feel you need to keep that a secret, it just doesn’t make sense to me.
What you’re doing is forcing your own beliefs on us. How ironic is that? In your anger over us Christians telling others our beliefs … you’ve been sitting here telling us all how wrong we are and how right you are. And to make matters worse, you’re amazingly obnoxious about it.
Slap yourself a few times please. You need to wake up and look in the mirror.
Gregor on January 23, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Just because you maintain it doesn’t make it true. Huckabee’s record says otherwise. As do his policy positions of six months ago.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Also, LegendHasIt, this year will pass - the political weirdness is too much.
Just think of this - HaraldHardrada, apacalypse, huckfan, popularpolitics, and MB4, just by themselves, could be put on a thread, with the rest of us eating popcorn, and just watching the ‘movie’. I bet they could fill a two-hours slot, easily, and we’d be amazed, entertained, and informed.

Has anyone called Hunter evil yet?? lol..

Oh my. You might as well be worshiping Hitler if that’s the impression you have of your God.
Why do you keep telling us all that we don’t know what God wants, but you have no problem claiming that you know exactly what he wants?
Gregor on January 23, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Ten-fifteen years ago Ron Paul wasn’t as big an idiot as he is now. I praised him back then too.

This is a very good point..I think most anti Huckabee types know nothing about what he actually stands for and only know the lies and misinformation Mccain’s boy Fred said about him.
Maybe now that the one who everyone agrees is the true conservative candidate(Duncan Hunter) has endorsed him maybe they will take a real look w/o the bias.
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 6:42 PM
If you believe in the DIVINITY of Jesus, you mean.
I never said keep it a secret. I said a relationship with G-d is a personal and private matter. I don’t think ANYONE should be telling others which G-d to believe in. That’s between you and your G-d.
I don’t claim to be “right” about any religious matters because I’m not a religious person. What I do claim, however, is that it doesn’t serve any purpose except growing your own ego to proclaim how great your G-d is.
Preaching is tacky as hell. Stop doing it. Just practice your religion and be happy. Don’t feel compelled to tell others what to believe. I certainly don’t care if you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Jesus Christ as G-d. But if you are out telling others about how wonderful they are then you’re going to get an earful from me.
Religion is a PERSONAL matter. No “if’s,” “and’s,” or “but’s” about it.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:43 PM
No. It’s not okay to lie. Show me where I’ve ever lied.
Briefly, tell me how many ways are there to God?
How do you know this? Have you spoken to most Christians? It’s ironic you speak of lying.

Godwin’s law has been invoked. Awesome!
I don’t believe in G-d, Gregor. I don’t claim to know anything about your G-d. But what I do know is that preaching is tacky as hell. Live your life the way you want to live it, but don’t make it a goal to get others to believe what you believe. Then you’re no better than the militant atheists.
I admire all religious people, as long as they understand that religion is a personal, private relationship between you and your G-d.

HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 6:49 PM
But preaching is part of practicing our religion. So your statement sort of contains a contradiction. America is the land of the free, and the first amendment gives people the right to preach if they so choose.
However, to be clear, this thread only became about religion, not because of Huck supporters, but because people like you simply wanted to rail AGAINST religion, especialy evangelical Christians.

Your one of those who refuses to understand that the coupling of those terms defines impossibility. Christianity and Mormonism are mutually exclusive terms.
Mormons believe the Bible is flawed and subject to interpretation from modern day prophets. Christians believe the Bible is the sacred and final word and believe the attempt to intertwine modern texts like the Book of Mormon constitutes nothing short of blaspheme.
Mormons believe their god lives on the planet Kolob and the dudes got hundreds of wives. Where is that in the Bible?

I might also add that this conversation isn’t about your health, as you choose to voluntarily destroy your body. The conversation was about the right of you to damage my children’s lungs while killing yourself for pleasure.
I honestly don’t give a rat’s a$$ what you do to your own body. Have at it. Jump in a meat grinder if it makes you feel good. Just keep your rat poison to yourself.

Oh, By the way; Concerning Goldwater: A little known fact is that he had Alzheimer’s the last few years of his life, and that most of his positions in those latter years were heavily influenced by his ultra liberal nurse who conned him into marrying her.
(I was a not too distant neighbor of his in those days, and while I didn’t know him personally, I DID know people who were close to him)
LegendHasIt on January 23, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable in your skin.
Gregor on January 23, 2008 at 6:55 PM
And you also have the right to make a complete idiot of yourself, too. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. I say keep your personal relationship with G-d to yourself. Be proud of being a Christian; don’t irritate people by trying to convince them they should be Christian, too.
Any thread involving Huckabee is about religion because that’s the only reason he has supporters. That’s the tie that binds you crazed lunatics.

Goldwater was just an anti Christian libertarian.

Again:
Huckabee is:
pro gun rights
pro human life amnendment
pro affirmation of marriage
pro increasing the size of the military
pro abolition of income tax and has signed no tax raise pledge
pro decreasing the size of entitlement programs(smaller gov’t)
pro securing border and opposed to amnesty
How that translates as liberal to you is unbelievable.

Apocrypha
Not all Christians believe in the same sacred texts as you do. Nor did these Sacred Texts always read the same way. You’re being quite naive.
Ha! Says the person denying that Mormonism is a form of Christianity.

You told us to practice our religion, then you said don’t preach. That is a contradiction, because Jesus said “be fishers of men.” He said to tell the earth the good news and preach the Gospel. In order to practice our religion we must tell people about Jesus Christ and the good news. Therefore your statement made no sense, and you failed to answer it in this text.
Actually, ANY candidate I support would be a Christian. But my support of Gov. Huckabee has nothing to do with him being a former minister. That is of less importance to me than him simply being a Christian consistent with Christian beliefs.
I support Huckabee in the same manner I support George W. Bush or even Ronald Reagan. Which is to say they have Christian values and conservative viewpoints. So to act as though Huckabee is much different from these fine men is something entirely false.

If Man could be crossed with the Cat it would improve man but deteriorate the Cat.

God created the Cat so that Woman could pet the Tiger.

Hunter was my man all the way. I told my wife whomever he supports, that guy is for me “except if it were McVain”. I am feelliingg veerryy siicckk. I don’t know if I can do it. Ok, here is my solution. I am in NC and I don’t get a say so until May! I’ll make my decision then.
Go Mitt! (Which was my fourth pic) and I forgive you Hunter!
There better be a VP or Sec. of Defense in it for Hunter. Go Huck. that just doesn’t sound good…..

Good point Harald. Gov. Huckabee is the ONLY candidate who is opposed to Israel giving any of God’s land away to the Arabs.

I’m glad we found out what a kooky side Hunter has before it was too late.

Hunter endorsed Huckabee because they were both religious nutbags who wanted to guide this country based on the word of god instead of the constitution. Compare their stances on issues, and they are pretty similar, especially on social matters and anything relating to ole jesus christ.

I know it’s hard to ignore a poo flinging monkey all day but try harder.

Huckabee/Hunter 2008 the true conservative ticket!
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Don’t buy into the “Huckabee is a liberal” nonsense. Mike is NOT a liberal. These lies are part of the Republican elites strategy to turn off conservative voters from voting for him.
I think it’s caused by global warming!
apacalyps on January 23, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Which is a big hoax by the way.

Some Native Americans come to my neighborhood one day, and tell everyone to get the hell out because they lived here centuries ago. They are more advanced and have the backing of the worlds biggest superpower. I am sitting outside my neighborhood saying WTF. Then the Native Americans want to create peace, and my only demand is to maybe get back my house, and they say, um, no. Sounds pretty fair.

Does this MB4 have a reward of Gold on his head too?
He doesn’t seem to be as much of a crazy Bastardo as those other four, but if there is enough Gold in it ……..

You told us to practice our religion, then you said don’t preach.
Actually, ANY candidate I support would be a Christian.
HebrewToYou on January 23, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Nooooooo! Anyone but Huckabee!
Duncan Hunter was my #1 choice for President and Huckabee is my last choice.
