After his willingness to criticise other Christians for their lapses in behaviour in such a public, petty way, I wouldn’t be looking for Huckaphony for any tips on how to behave. Good manners and humility are not his strong suit. He makes me sick; he is so blind to his own hypocrisy that he had the gall to lambast another person’s conservatism then talk about government solving people’s problems. That’s not conservative!

Just goes to show you what a tenuous thread of reality Huckabee is tethered by.

God, he makes me SICK!

Huckabee’s Jonesboro book still rankles

I strongly question the grasp on reality of anyone who asserts, with sincerity, that Huckabee is a conservative politician.
Huckabee garnered support in the primaries by being the “Jesus candidate” that all good born-again Christians were informed by their pastors to support. Former-pastor Huck worked the church circuit for his own political gain, setting himself up to be the Christians’ choice candidate — all the while engaging in despicable and un-Christian attacks against Romney. I understand the political value of attack ads, and in attacking your most dangerous opponent, but Huckabee did so under the Christian banner. He prostituted the church and the image of Christianity for his own personal gain.
I am a life-long, old-school evangelical Christian (and supporter of Fred’s federalist ideas) who watched with disgust as Huckabee, with feigned words of populism, made merchandise of many other proclaimed-evangelical Christians.
Huckabee is a mere shade of a man — the fat band geek who grew up into a pissy beta male — who claims Christ as his homeboy but refuses to forgive those who trespass against him.
I hope he gets the entirety of his rewards in this life.

Bravo Harpazo! Your post describes “Christian” Huckabee very well! I, too, hope this hateful charlatan reaps what he sows in this life.

No. He didn’t do that to you. You do that all by yourself.

Wow, apaCALYPSO. Did you think of that one all by yourself? Brilliant!

Mike Huckabee is an excellent Government official. I hope he becomes President of the United States one day.

So you hope, do you? I am sure you can get some spare HOPE signs from the Obama campaign and recycle them for Huck’s 2012 bid. Might as well, since both of them like to attack Republicans.

I am a conservative Christian that thinks Huck makes people like me look like idiots.

oops

sigh

Though most conservatives are republicans–most republicans aren’t conservatives!!!

More back like this need to be written—and read—by more people so we don’t end up with a Dole in 4 yrs to lose again.

sigh

Also, his attempts to play the religious base against Mitt’s Mormonism was beyond the pale.

Also … my “Mr. Creepy” alarm goes off every time I see a pic of Huckabee – there is something not quite right about that guy. I really don’t get the same alarm when I look at Mitt and … I feel totally at ease with Palin who just seems to gush honesty and good karma. So there you have it … Huck is jerk who also fails my “aura” test. Maybe yours too?

“Huck You! Huck!”

Remember that time Huck was too classy to show the deceptive negative ad he made against Romney, then showed it to the national press knowing they would give it lots of free airplay? You know, the time he exposed himself as either a total idiot or a complete hypocrite? That time? Man that was awesome!

Huck’s behavior at that time really bothered me.

I was aware of his “open borders” mentality, and I knew about his populism, etc, and his love for granting clemencies, etc.

But when he pulled that stunt, I lost a lot of respect for him.

I don’t like either CHuckles or Mittens and want both to go away. ;)

I want all of the people who ran in this primary to go away. Never to come back. It is time for some new blood. I really want Huck to go down way before the primaries start. Let’s hope and work towards having strong candidates before they begin so these guys see they don’t have a chance and decide not to run.

Others here should really see a doctor about that Huckabee Derangement Syndrome you have. The whining symptom you present is really annoying to the rest of us.

Oh, I see. Huckster starts this war by ripping fellow Republicans in writing, and then when supporters of those Republicans start to fight back, it’s called a “whining symptom.”

What is truly “annoying” is the fact that Huckabee decides to release this book, in the wake of a general election loss, only to give liberals yet another cause to laugh at us and to gloat about our party’s lack of unity. If Huckabee were truly concerned about the welfare of the Republican Party, he would never have aired such statements in public. It shows he is more concerned about his own status than the status or direction of the Party. It is the Huckster himself who has a “Huckabee Derangement Syndrome,” in that he cannot get over himself.

The liberals could not have hoped for a better “divide and conquer” agent than Huckabee. He did this in the 2008 primaries (particularly in WV), and just at look the damage he is inflicting now in these unprovoked attacks. If Huckabee doesn’t have the character to stop this kind of childish backbiting on his own, then the supporters of every other potential Republican candidate, with the help of the new RNC Chairman, need to unite and do whatever they can to counter this. If this does not happen, and soon, our Party will sustain an even more humilating defeat in 2012.
