Huckabee: Romney didn’t hit conservative “political puberty” until he was 60

This from a guy who had his epiphany about illegal immigration within the last two months. I don’t mind the pointed metaphor here any more than I did the Metamucil dig at Fred, but isn’t it curious that the third-place candidate prefers to spend his time knocking the second-place guy instead of the frontrunner.
Exit question: When does McCain hit conservative puberty, Huck? When he’s 80?

Not your best argument.

Actually Mitt has both “flipped” and “flopped” on abortion. While running for governor of pro-choice Mass., Mitt related the story about when he had an epiphany on abortion after a close family member of his died having an illegal abortion. This epiphany convinced him that abortion must always be safe and legal. True to his word he forged with Ted Kennedy and other Democrats legislation that assured everyone in Mass. could have an abortion for a mere $50 co-pay. That was his “flip”, then he “flopped” right before announcing his run for POTUS for the pro-life Republicans. And what motivated this second epiphany? What moving experience was sufficient to erase the horror of the loss of a loved one to an illegal back alley abortion? Why research into stem cells, of course. What is more moving to you, staring at a dead relative in a coffin or a few cells in a petri dish? How could you believe the second epiphany in light of the first.
Take your BS elsewhere. I’m not surrendering my ability to reason and judge character just because the “true” conservatives couldn’t find a candidate worth jack.

Hey, this sort of moronic low brow humor still plays well down in Dogpatch!

The Ralph Nader spoiler of the Republican party.
Guaranteeing a weak candidate (McVain = Bob Dole II) losing to Hillary or Obama.
Thanks Schmuck.

So I guess that means you fully endorse Huck’s 9 point plan for dealing with Immigration and aren’t going to demagogue his previous proposal for offering merit scholarships to those who earn it; as if he’s committed the unforgivable sin ?!?

Demagoguing…Freddie didn’t expose anything. He read the script that was written for him for the debate.
Demagoguing…he actually balanced his State’s budget, cut taxes, and wanted to rebate the surplus back to the people…and you know that.
Demagoguing…he dealt with a specific issue in His State (he wasn’t a Federal Governor) for reasons that you don’t want to consider…and you know that…(you might want to read his 9-point plan)
Demagoguing…he knows that the detainees WON”T get into our court system and was the only candidate that made reference to the recent court decision (wish I had the link) supporting that…and you know that.
pure stupidity…it’s statements like this that fill this blog and make it hard to believe that a majority of folks here can have a reasonable discussion of the facts. Many sound just like the Democrats mis charactering Republicans when they attack Huck in such non-substantive ways.
I wish that the Huck said these things about Romney earlier in the campaign. Romney’s about as sincere as those two guys riding their mountain bikes up to your front door with white shirts and ties and want to tell you about how happy they are that you’re already committed.

There has always been a tensions between religions that are open and based on truth versus those that are secretive and based on illusion.
Baptists love Mormons – but despise the deceptive manipulations and mis characterizations that they promote against biblical Christianity. There’s a difference there – whether you understand it or not.

What exactly do you think should represent the “evangelical segment of the Republican Party?
Actually, what in the world do you even think that an “evangelical” is in the first place?
(oh, and don’t assume that all evangelicals “sit in pews”-some of us have nicely padded chairs thank you)

So you don’t want him voting for Romney?…
HERMES on January 31, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Why is it that Conservatives are suppose to give Mitt a pass on these issues, but are suppose to fall in line with the demagoguing of Huck’s positions as a State governor – who apparently understands federalism and makes those distinctions as a candidate for POTUS?
HERMES on January 31, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Yes…if you could just link your last two points I’d appreciate it. Unlike a lot of lemmings around here, I’d actually like to see the context of what you are referring to. As far as your first three points – I think that you are just predisposed to look at it that way (perception is reality?)
HERMES on January 31, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Whoa! – Where’d everybody go?…I gotta get a life…
