The fact that you claim the MSM was pro-Romney leads me to question anything else you say that would require any sort of deductive reasoning or comprehension on your part.

You use a broad brush to discount and attempt to discredit any who have criticized Mike Huckabee.

You misquoted me. Re-read what I said please. I said, “(Most) who say bad things about Huck do so because he loves the Lord, and they don’t want Him in their lives. That is what this is about for a lot of people. They hate God.”

I put “most” in parenthesis for a reason, to specify that I was not speaking about everybody who criticized Huck. Those who offer reasonable and even sharp criticism of him and can debate respectfully, I have no problem with. I’ve said that several times here.

His (Huckabee’s) own actions and words, past and present, are what is causing the problem. What more can I say?

Nothing, thank you. You’ve said enough. When you mischaracterize what I am trying to say, excuse me if I am skeptical of your characterization of Governor Huckabee. I do hope that you have a change of heart in the future and get on board with us though. Thank you, and have a nice rest of the day.

Matthew 16:23 (pretty much almost)

You quoted from the New International Perversion, uh, I mean Version (NIV). That is one of the most liberal translations of the Bible out there. If there is a God and there is a Devil, it would be smart for the Devil to do that very thing, to corrupt God’s Word. Get yourself a real Bible, a 1611 King James. The Evidence Bible is a good choice. Thank you.

I didn’t see Huckabee’s name in your post. I would like to say that everybody on huckspac and hucksarmy were very enthusiastic supporters of Sarah Palin after she was chosen for the VP position. We saw in her the same qualities of Mike Huckabee, except he has a lot more executive experience and can handle the press much better. They both relate to the middle class and the poor. They give great speeches, are authentic and likeable. Cannot compare how they governed their states because Mike Huckabee had to deal with very difficult situations with the Democrats and didn’t have oil revenues to help meet the budgets.

Just remember what I said earlier, Mitt Romney was on the economic panel that McCain picked to help him determine what he should do about the $700 B Bush bailout plan. Check the internet and you will find this info. Romney didn’t want the public to know in case there would be fallout…how’s that for being everything to everybody..only not really true.

Geraldo was chastizing the bailout because it rewarded bad behavior. What a hypocrite. He had no problem rewarding bad behavior with amnesty.

saiga

Add to that Geraldo’s dogmatic defense of ACORN, corrupt legalization of federal fiscal fraud, coercive legislation requiring banks to fail so that our global economy could fail to get the Socialist Make-Over From Hell. Geraldo can take the cake for best hypocrite evah. (Only Obama can have his cake and eat it, too, though.)

Small Talk: Combine Jindal with Palin, brilliant pizazz.

NO ONE has more charisma than Sarah Palin. Whatever managerial business prowess Romney boasts, Jindal matches as LA Govenor. Don’t be a moron over who has the biggest personal bank account, since that is determined by many factors. That kind of wealth inevitably includes sell-out/manipulative corruption; face that fact of life. Romney ventures have been bankrolled by the Mormon hierarchy; that’s their choice, and I’m fine knowing he’s their poster boy. Just don’t presume that Romney “made” all that money by his own brain and brawn. Romney was the primary progressive GOP POTUS candidate whose own platform was federal socialism. Not until after the Bush bail-out passed did Romney voice an opinion, which was understandable that he’d not interfere where he felt he wouldn’t be appreciated or heard. But timing matters. And waiting until too late to give advice is rude.

As per current “bests” at actual debate (not prefabricated “speech”) recognize Jindal putting meat on the bone journalists were whipping to keep bare. But today, no one bests Gingrich in debate, no one. I loved the smack down Newt gave the “journalist” at the GOP Convention over candidate “experience”. And no one works up the crowd with more fervor than Giuliani introducing Palin at the GOP Convention. Obama Nada! The naturally talented Palin should study with Rudy to combine speech content with delivery for the ultimate effect upon public opinion.

Romney does not have the metal under fire to match the likes of Putin as Thompson or any other of the former leading candidates. Palin, in all her former naivete, proved more guts under fire than Romney. You don’t “learn” guts by faking whole cloth. Anyone who claims to be a hunting enthusiast for having shot at a varmint once is just silly to use that puff as basis for being the Commander in Chief. There are places, like Wall Street, where Romney shines. Nationally, he would serve our Constitutional Government best as a strong Cabinet Member, a liaison between Congress and the President.

People of particular religious denominations, or lack of, need to get over their own prejudices to define a unified party platform. THEN, call all on board. THEN study all candidates together, who will effect the platform in reality. FINALLY vote on Captain and crew. No candidate need apply if position on crew is unacceptable.

Quit ignoring the problem/solution out of the childish habit of clinging to one’s favorite charismatic-image binky and expecting to be recognized as responsible adults while throwing temper tantrums for not being born the only child. Let’s quit sucking our thumbs.

But the republicans will have to do much more to even begin to regain any trust from the american people..

When i see republicans standing up for
Secure borders
Balanced budjet
Watching the rip off ceos
Watching wal street
Stoping hedge funds from bankrupting the system
then maybe i will vote but not until then..

Of course, at the rate the Obamanistas are going after private enterprise, it might be too late already.

I fear you might be on to something. as a side note, I saw that bonehead Geraldo on Fox & Friends with Donald Trump this morning, and Geraldo was chastizing the bailout because it rewarded bad behavior. What a hypocrite. He had no problem rewarding bad behavior with amnesty.

For that alone I am willing to overlook a few of his sins. He was the ONLY candidate in the primary who was even willing to talk about it.

Perfect Huck isn’t, but if this country doesn’t do something about its economy-killing confiscatory tax system very soon, we’re toast.

Of course, at the rate the Obamanistas are going after private enterprise, it might be too late already.

-Dave

We need a guy with the right pricipals that naturally encourages followers. Reagan had it, Roosevelt had it, and Nixon had it. Obama had it to the extent that young people and Bush haters fell for him.

I think Obama probably is a nice guy, but his plan really is not best for America.

Putting feelings aside about any of the candidates, everyone knows that Huck and Mcain took Romney out. That’s well known. So don’t go trying to give us a Huckster history lesson… Romney should have won. And I blame all of the mess we are in right now on Mcain and the Huck!

Thanks to both of them I can get over my “white guilt” while the country goes into a great depression! Yay!

For this education spending to work, Obama must bust the unions and install school choice. I don’t think he will, which will guarantee an ongoing crop of ignorant and fairly useless victim class government dependents.

The result will be just like the Katrina people. The government trains them to be useless and keeps them barely alive so they can pull them out of the refrigerator every 2 years to vote more slop for the trough.

It is criminal, but it looks like thats what Obama wants to expand.

Neither should run in 2012.

Mike Huckabee got from 9-13% of the votes in most the states after he dropped out of the primary race. He wasn’t campaigning, he wasn’t on Fox News yet, and they sure didn’t support him, but people like Mike Huckabee. They see him as a real, authentic person. Romney didn’t get near as many votes, if any, as Huckabee in those states I mentioned. If Mike Huckabee could be that successful on so very little money in 2008, just think what he could do with lots of campaign donations coming in to him as the Republican nominee. He has good political sense, he knows how to use humor to get his point across without appearing like he’s bashing the other candidates, like Obama in 2012. The way he explains things everybody understands the message. There are lots of Reagan Democrats who aren’t so left wing liberals who like Huckabee now who might vote for him in Obama’s spending doesn’t reap results.

Obama believes that victim class black people are too far gone (content of their character stinks) to raise their children satifactorally, therefore the government must do it. What he doesn’t get is that transfering responsibility from individuals to the goverment creates more deadhead dependents.

Like Reagan said, if you subsidize something, you get more of it, and if you tax something, you get less of it.

Obama seems to believe that the upper class white folks are so galvanized in their ambition and capability, that they can rise above any financial obstacle. The reality is, like with Ronald Reagan, upper class white people are smart enough to know when exerting effort isn’t worth it.

This wild spending will hurt this country badly both financially and culturally to be sure.

The Huckster has that right.

It was the voters who sucked the wind from Romney’s sail. Did you ever stop to think that it was Romney who stood in the way for Huckabee? Who ran the campaign on a very small budget? Who spent millions and won only the states he lived in at one time. Haven’t you read any of my posts about Romney? How could you vote for someone who advised McCain to accept the original bailout? How could you accept a man who mandated healthcare (just like Hillary’s U.S. plan) in Mass. and almost caused that state to go bankrupt? How could you trust a man who has flip flopped more than Kerry? The Dems would have a field day with him, and the public would too because he’s rich and a Wall Street man. Both of these points would really go against him being accepted in the general.

He supported paying for tuition for the children of illegal immigrants WHO WOULD GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO BECOME CITIZENS! He was the only candidate to sign the pledge not to accept illegal immigrants. BTW, Rommey accepted them before he was against it. If you all can accept Romney’s fake claim to be pro-life and against gays after all he did to help them win acceptance in Mass. how come you can’t accept the change in Huckabee’s illegal immigration policies? Seems like a double standard doesn’t it, just like the media against the Republicans. You think Huckabee is power hungry, but I don’t hear you saying Romney is power hungry…double standard again.

How can anybody ever think Huckabee is faking the folksy mannerisms. He has always had that, and he’s not a hick. Obviously he’s a lot smarter than all the other Republican candidates during the 2008 primaries that only repeated what each other said…no original thoughts.

Mike Huckabee never forced his religion on Arkansas and pledged he would not on the Federal level either. That’s not to say he wouldn’t want to change Roe vs. Wade, but ALL real Conservatives want to do that.

That is the best endorsement any conservative could have. Huckabee’s animus toward Romney includes religion as well as the political venom revealed by non religious Fred, Giuliani, and McCain

The party tossed out guppie Jindal for the Obama rebuttal so the party has decided to like him for now. They might have done him a favor if he learns from it

The party doesn’t seem to like Palin much. I guess she appeals to much to the talk radio crowd despised by the elites.

Since the party elite has proven itself to be incompetent, and even Huckabee declareds we need competents, the logical conclusion is to go with the ones the party loves to hate.

Meanwhile the party continues to send out their pundits to castigate the masses who refuse to support the program. There is no better proof of their incompetence and arrogance.

Come to think of it, none of the 2008 GOP primary contenders should run in 2012. That includes Romney, Fred, Ron Paul or any of the others. Running rethreads just guarantees defeat. If they couldn’t defeat McCain, they certaintly won’t defeat Obama.

My money is on Palin (literally, as I have already donated 2 grand to her PAC). But I could see the field widen to other candidates as well. I like Jindal, but his wooden performance on Tuesday shows that he is not ready for primetime yet. He might be in 2016 or certainly 2020. Sanford is a absoulute no-go with his flip-flop on Porkulus and his asinine “If you don’t want Obama to succeed you’re an idiot” statement the other day.

Just my 2 cents.
