Quote:

If you are the eventual Democratic nominee for President in 2008, who would you like to run against? Answer: A Republican you can beat.

Chris Matthews, of MSNBC, recently asked, “Why is the liberal media giving Huckabee a free ride?” Could the answer be as obvious as the liberal media thinks that they have war-gamed this election better than conservatives? Did they look at the Republican field and try to ascertain who would be the weakest “non-fringe” candidate?

That most of the mainstream media is going to be in the bag for the Democratic nominee, is beyond question. As that is certainly the case, a method to their literal madness would be in order.

Why is the liberal National Education Association of New Hampshire coming out for Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side and Mike Huckabee on the Republican side? What are they seeing in the former Arkansas governor that a number of Republicans are missing?

Some conservatives and Evangelicals have said that they are supporting Huckabee because he’s a “law and order” candidate or a “good” Christian. Really?

It’s difficult to be a “law and order” candidate when the grieving mother of an innocent young woman who was brutally raped and murdered, comes out against you. A mother whose daughter was killed by a man safely locked-up in prison for a previous rape until then Governor Huckabee sent the rapist a personal note of encouragement and endorsed his parole.

Tragically, another mother of a daughter alleged to have been killed by the man Huckabee helped free from prison, just had this to say: “He (Huckabee) closed a blind eye to a really dangerous man and doesn’t care because he thinks he’s invincible.”

Maybe Huckabee thinks he’s “invincible” because he has literally inferred that God wants him to win. “It’s the same power,” he said of his sudden rise in the polls, “That helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves of bread feed a crowd of 5,000 people.” Okay.

There have been reports that Huckabee recently told a Pastor that God speaks to him. In recounting all of this to an Evangelical friend of mine, the friend responded, “The tiny man who runs Iran and wants to wipe the United States and Israel off the face of the earth, also says God speaks to him. No Christian should use the Lord as a cheap campaign gimmick.”

If Huckabee is using God as a “gimmick,” this is not the first time. Should any voter care to see it, one only has to type “Huckabee – God – 2004 Republican Governors Association” into the search engine of their choice and see Huckabee – long before Rudy – take an “unexpected” phone call at the podium. His call was from “God,” and in the world of Mike Huckabee, “God” was reduced to a partisan hack.

There are many people in and out of government – myself included – who honestly believe that the 2008 presidential election will be the most important of our lifetimes. Terrorism, illegal immigration and energy dependence on hostile foreign nations, being just a few of the reasons why.

The liberals are desperate to take the White House back and desperate to start their global “The United States is evil” appeasement campaign. Many of these same liberals think Huckabee would make an outstanding Republican nominee.

Why?

I wonder about him since the same people in Arkansas that backed Bill Clinton are now backing him.

Rudy will be the next president because he is the best of all the parties combined and will keep our country safe. Yes, we have other problems but I believe the people of this country need to step up to the plate, take responsibility in helping to conserve energy, and donating to the welfare of each other. Being the United States of America is not just a country, but the best damn country...with an attitude.

Huckabee scares me (for Christ's sake, he doesn't believe in evolution!), but at least he seems like a good man.

Giuliani, on the other hand, scares me and is a horrible man. I would rather have the former than the latter, though both seem to me terrible choices.

Whether or not a person believes in Evolution is inconscequential when electing the president. There is no political stance to be had for or against it. There is no mandate he could possibly make banning the teaching of evolution, so I fail to understand the significance of why this is an issue. We have not proven Macro-Evolution, infact, we haven't even come close to doing that, whether or not a person chooses to believe macro-evolution is a reality, is their personal choice. Huckabee chooses not to.

Macro Evolution=Monkees to Humans, land life evolving from sea life, sea life evolving from single-celled organisms.

Micro Evolution=Proven, when elephants grow long tusks and long hair to survive in colder climates, when humans grow their beards out to stay warmer, when the beaks of birds change shape so they have an easier time eating. Micro-evolutin is adeptation.

The OP seems to be a smear against Huckabee, that is not really based in truth, so much as it's based upon the author's (of the article) agenda which is that he thinks Huckabee is too much of a centrist. I question the authenticity of the Matthew's quote, and I think the political talk shows were all over Huck's pardoning of that rapist/murderer.

Given that Huckabee is a minister, the charge of "Huckabee is using God as a “gimmick,” sinks the credibility of the argument further.

This comment in the article:

The liberals are desperate to take the White House back and desperate to start their global “The United States is evil” appeasement campaign. Many of these same liberals think Huckabee would make an outstanding Republican nominee.

is rather pathetic and shows that the author is just some fascist like Ann Coulter.

I deleted a post by oldcutlas because it was off topic. I am not the issue, Huckabee is. You can talk to me about it via PM if this really means that much to you.

Well in that case you need to delete the post I quoted as it is off topic as well. If you can't deal with someone arguing against you and feel the need to delete their posts you should look at what you posted first. I was simply arguing against what you already posted.

Huckabee ‘08!

** NO foreign policy!
** Pro-illegal aliens!
** Pro amnesty!
** Pro class warfare!
** Soft on crime!
** Pardons for murderers and rapists!
** Hard on personal freedoms!
** The HIGH TAX candidate!
** The HIGH SPENDING candidate!
** Pro Big Government!
** Supports International Carbon Credit Trading!

Huckabee would be smashed by Hillary. She has the goods on any Arkansas governor. I can’t understand his appeal to Christians. He has failed as a governor, assisted illegal immigrants and hasn’t a clue about foreign policy. Hillary seems stronger on national security than he does.

I'm just being honest and upfront. He would be torn apart. We, as Republicans, don't want this hogwash being our nominee. No offense to Huckabee. He just isn't cut out to be President. Some people are, others aren't. Vice President is a different story.
