A surplus isn’t exactly evidence of fiscal responsibility. It just shows that Huckabee taxed the dickens out of the people of Arkansas

I fail to see how that’s a good thing.

You’re exactly right…and the Dems spent it about five minutes after he left.

You said Huckabee personifies a social conservative…

With his record on pardons and clemencies… How???

There’s a REASON for the venom. It’s because Huckabee is no true “man of God”. If he were, he would PERSONIFY christ-like behavior. Instead, he wears his Christianity on his sleeve yet engages in the lowest form of “polite and funny on the surface yet just beneath the thin veneer, utterly nasty to the core” type gutter-level political behavior in a manner that is quite the opposite of a true “man of God”.

Oh, and besides, I don’t like Huck’s record on immigration, clemency, and taxes either. Just so you know there are other reasons I’d never vote for him that have nothing to do with faith.

Amen to that. Testify, brother

Yeah, I think it’s pretty safe to say that.
Arkansas politics must be really ugly going by what it has thrown up on the national stage.

The key phrase here being “thrown up”. Arkansas politics barfing on the rest of America is right. After Clenis, why would we want more of the same? That’d make ME throw up for sure.

All the Venom at Huckabee makes me sick!…It says a lot about a person who will say that about someone who is a man of God.”

It is BECAUSE he holds himself out as a pastor that he should do his utmost to personify the behaviors Christ taught. We’re all imperfect (some would say sinners) when compared with a perfect one God, but we can at least TRY. Huckabee’s political behaviors make him a HYPOCRITE.

And THIS is the reason for the venom.

Are you a supporter of Huck’s just because he’s Evangelical? Take a deeper look at his behavior, please, and ask yourself if his actions REALLY serve as a model for Christ-like behavior.

Huckabee is the kind of Christian who makes Christians look bad. I personally am of the opinion that we do not need a leader like that.

Oh, and besides, I don’t like Huck’s record on immigration, clemency, and taxes either. Just so you know there are other reasons I’d never vote for him that have nothing to do with faith.

But then again, reality and mathematics pale miserably in comparison to the “Christian” candidate who “majored in miracles”.

buh-bye Mike, and damn good-riddance.

The only way to avoid disenfranchising the latter states is to hold national primaries, or to hold all smaller states first followed by the bigger ones.

All that aside, as many others have remarked above, he is more crass than class.

Then there is Satan Huckabee who uses his false religion as a wedge exactly the way the Shia do against the Sunni’s et al. He is an evil, power-hungry bastard and he caters to the lower IQ types of the Republican party. Unfortunately, just like the Democrats, the Republicans have their dumb people too.

It has NOTHING to do with being an Evangelical…most are obviously very good people. But there are Ku Klux Klan types out there that pose as Evangelicals and Satan Huckabee caters to them.

I think you can make an argument to be a Clinton person or any other politician person, but there is just something wrong with being in favor of an evil guy like Huckabee who has zero redeeming values.

Suppose just for the sake of discussion, that the Republican party came down to a three way race: Huckabee, Romney, and Adolph Hitler. Huckabee would stay in the race to keep Romney from getting the nomination even if it meant Hitler would get it. He is THAT messed up in his evil head.

That is why he spawned children that hang dogs. Something aint right there.

Check his scalp for 666!!!

Then of course there were the incidents in South Carolina, where two of your volunteers from Wofford College were putting fliers on car windshields as a FRED rally, saying Thompson was pro-abortion and responsible for the deaths of 200,000 babies.

How do I know it was Huckabee? Because we caught the bastards doing it, and they admitted they were with the slimeball’s campaign.

They also had Wofford College on their license plates, and shocking (not), the Huckster had a rally at that same college earlier that day.

Keep selling your b.s. to the rubes. Real conservatives know you’re full of it.

I’m a Romney guy, so I was disappointed he didn’t pull it out this year. I’m not thrilled with Smashmouth McCrankypants, but I’d vote for him over Huckabee every time.

Political hardball is one thing; kick each other as long as you need to, then dust each other off, shake hands, and close ranks against the general election opponent. Huck’s inability to leave Romney alone has a Clintonesque stench about it.

I watched this this afternoon on Fox. It was really disheartening to see McInsane and Romney standing together. It was so painfully obvious who was the most presidential of the two. You could see that McShamnesty is just a little spiteful jerk. Mitt in 2012!

cjs1943 on February 14, 2008 at 7:25 PM

I’m so glad to see this post. At least some haven’t sold their soul to the McDevil. Amazing how many support McShamnesty and his Amnesty agenda now!

Can’t stand this dude!

He is SO tacky.

I am proud to live in the South but this guy makes me cringe every time he opens his mouth and advertises his profound ignorance and lack of couth for all the world to see.

“Let’s give ‘em a choice.” –Huckabee

They’re making the choice, schmuck, and the majority is saying you’re the greater of two evils.

Can’t stand this dude!

He is starting to look foolish

He’s been looking that way for a looooooong time.

If Huckabee is our Reagan ’76… then this party is in bigger jeopardy than any of us could have imagined.

Splashman on February 14, 2008 at 8:59 PM

LOL. Seriously though, these guys are high level politicians. There has to be a reason he continues to rip Romney? Here are a few thoughts:

1. His supporters are demanding that he continue to rip Romney or they won’t send in their $10 donations.

2. Romney must have actually laid off one of Huckabee’s relatives and this is his childish way of revenge.

3. Huckabee is jealous of Mitt’s hair. Mike does seem to be losing his.

4. He thinks McCain still needs him to try to split the conservative vote so he can win the nomination.

5. He thinks it is endearing to the anti-Mormon vote in North Carolina or Texas.

6. Maybe he knows that ripping on Republicans can get him the media attention he desires/needs. McCain has made a good living from this at times.

7. He is just a small, petty man.

I just don’t get it. There is no upside to this sort of dialogue that I can see. Huck fans should expect more civility from him and should let him know.

Coming from a HuckHater, I would expect you to twist things. Hey, that’s ok though. There are a lot of great leaders that were hated by the weaker amongst them.

Dhornertx on February 14, 2008 at 8:39 PM

But Huckabee is not a leader.

See, he wants to be a leader and the people have rejected him.

Even after Romney is out of the campaign he still needs to take his shots. Why? What does it get him?

Also, he’s got his eye on 2012. As if he’s got a chance in hell. Dick.

Even after Romney is out of the campaign he still needs to take his shots. Why?

Um . . . because he’s a dick? (Was that a trick question?)
