Huckabee is a fraud.

It has to be the kind of evangelicals who never ever ever turn on ANY political news or use their computers to find out any FACTS of the RECORDS of these clowns.

Huckabee HAS been chasing down the most prominent of the youth-oriented evangelical ministries, such as The Call, and going to their leaders and asking them all what God is saying to them, these last few years – flattering them all up the KAZOO!

If they never do any investigating beyond just their personal visits with him, they’d be the most likely to call the media LIARS for every negative th ing they say about him, just tune it out and show up to vote!

Very scary. He talks up to them that the ILLEGAL ALIENS could help get Roe v Wade overturned WITH THEIR “FAMILY VALUES” VOTING!

One other thing Huggy

Apparently you missed seeing Huckabee attack Carl Cameron on the road this Saturday morning, (yesterday morning, now) saying it was fine for him to deny Carl an interview (Carl is always soooo soft-ball, Gee, Huckabee, what on EARTH could you have been afraid of!) because Carl wouldn’t vote for him anyway, so he was going to talk to 2 little girls whom he KNEW would vote for him – and they said they would, of course!

Huckabee spoke insultingly to Carl for several minutes. I found it snide, in spite of the “big smile” on his face.
We all know Carl didn’t ask to be treated like that and didn’t deserve it, either.

It left Carl feeling, like Gee, what did I do to ask for THAT? Rather stunned, I thought.

Huckabee has no class. And HE called Bush an arrogant [person] with a bunker mentality???

Besides, I’ve heard him tell Christian children his political goals for illegal aliens and giving them voting rights he would NEVER DARE say to their parents. HE was talking to teens with an outreach that is encouraging missions work, who simply would be too naive to comprehend the full schope of what he is saying.

But Jesus didn’t tell the Good Samaritan to go to the robber’s roost and give the robbers a life of luxury, to prove the GS was a good guy!
Nor did Jesus tell the people they were wrong about the tax collectors and needed to give them even more of their income so that the govt could make the LAWLESS ones most comfortable at their expense.

Yeah, McCain and Huckabee and Fred are three great butt buddies, all right.

Someone reminded us the other night that Huckabee’s campaign manager (that is also jumping in with army boots on down others’ throats, these days,) was H. Ross Perot’s Presidential campaign manager, too!

Explains a lot!

According to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation

No one gives a damn what the MTF has to say.

The Club For Growth is a better source to consult on these matters. What, pray tell, does the CFG say about Huckabee?:

While Governor Huckabee’s record displays some flashes of economic conservatism, especially during his early years, the overwhelming evidence of his record and rhetoric over the past ten years leaves the Club for Growth and economic conservatives around the country to wonder if a President Huckabee would espouse the relatively pro-growth policies of Governor Huckabee circa 1997 or the anti-growth policies of Governor Huckabee circa 2004. While the Governor has made a concerted effort to defend his record, calling oneself an economic conservative does not make one so. His recent refusals to rule out raising taxes if elected President-the cornerstone of a pro-growth platform-perhaps indicate which path he would choose.

After Iowa, I can only think that Americans get fatter, lazier, and dumber every year.

I say this b/c Rush kep on saying, ‘well, what can a President really do about abortion…except appoint judges to the Supreme Court?’.

This is exactly what Rudy has been saying…that he’d nominate the same types of (pro-life)-type Justices that President Bush has.

What do you think? Does Rush heart Rudy?

Rush is right, this was a humiliating defeat for Hillary and not much has been decided with the Republicans.

Lets seee….Obama 16 delegates, Hillary 15, Edwards 14…..How humiliating.
Huckabee 30 delegates, Romney 7, everyone else zero. Not much decided.
Rush is such a hack (water carrier).

As to Obama’s victory, that also left me feeling cold and dubious. I hate Hillary but I can’t stand him either. What does he stand for? How real is he and his marriage? He seems socially permissive, vacant, and pliable to any wedge issue group.

IMO, Obama is very scary since most of his views are far left. I am surprised there hasn’t been more scrutiny of him on lots of issues and since we are talking about Christianity, especially Obama’s church.

As for evangelicals: I don’t think they’re stupid. However, just because Huckabee is a preacher doesn’t mean he embodies things the same way evangelicals do. That’s what I didn’t like the most about the Iowa Caucuses…
it’s not only retail politicking it’s whoring for votes.

The more I become acquainted with Huckabee, the more I think he’s just another RINO. Someone who’s conveniently
folksy and down-home when he needs to be, but when you scratch the surface he’s still another lying politician.

Will the REAL candidates please stand
up?

According to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation Romney raised fees and taxes roughly $740 million to $750 million per year – an increase of roughly 2.8 billion during his tenure

And you are still carrying water for him?

McCain voted against Bush’s tax cuts in 2001 and 2003

Romney supports raising the gasoline tax.

Come on, tell us what is really driving you.

If you qualify conservatives by tax cutting only, then McCain and Romney are out.

Romney’s record on taxes is WORSE than Hucks.

If you read my prior posts. I do in fact mention Fred.

I can’t figure out what he is doing. I don’t see him as a man that wants to win. I am completely confused by him.

I have stated I would love to see a truly conservative candidate in the race. NONE of our current choices qualify.

As for “heading for the bunker and crying anti-Christian bigotry” I thought that post was very level headed and a warning that we shouldn’t head down that path.

Attack Huck on the issues, don’t demagogue and don’t attack Christianity and we can have a dialog.

I don’t think that is too much to ask.

Edmund Burke didn’t care about abortion. John Locke felt “liberty is property,” which has nothing to do with gay rights. Barry Goldwater was pro-choice and pro gays in the military.

Ronald Reagan is known for winning the Cold War and Reaganomics. The fact that he was pro-life was incidental.

The social conservatives had no political influence until the 1988 race…Reagan did not need them since the entire nation was supporting him.

Cut taxes, kill terrorists…period.

For all I care, the sexiest women in the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice movements can jello wrestle for the right to win on that issue.

What the hell is being Pro-life gonna do if Al Queda blows us up?

Sheesh, try and save people who are alive TODAY, then we can worry about whether or not they reproduce.

Rudy, McCain, Romney and Thompson are all fine men, and there will never be another Ronald Reagan.

We need to stop pining for Reagan or we will be as pathetic as the democrats still stuck on FDR and JFK.

The government that governs best, governs least. THAT is conservatism.Social conservatives should think about this.

Reagan was agiant. Any of the four men above will be good enough.

Have you noticed how Andrew Sullivan cheers Huck, yet is a guy who rails against religious all the time, and slimes them as Theocrats and Christianists?

Have you noticed all the nice things the Democrat talking heads have to say about Huck? If those aren’t big enough red flags for you, you’re beyond hope.

Face it, you’re indulging in vile identity politicking, and you’re being played like a fiddle by a Democrat with a Bible and rifle.
