The Huckster just proved he can't learn from his own mistakes!!

He just wrote Bush again going off his nut about Iran!

LMHO! Can you believe this twit!?

I live in Miami, and I know Cubans both here and from the island.

Believe me, the EMBARGO IS USELESS. Perhaps people should take a look at some photos from Cuba before supporting such an ignorant and malignant policy.

Consider:

his infamous speech playing on YouTube, where he says, "what do you want, to raise this tax or that tax or that tax? I'm ok with that".

And pardons:

Huckabee has had twice as many pardons as his 3 predecessors combined? Combined! If a pastor had a good word for someone, he says, "if you want me to pardon someone, I'll pardon. Sure. No problem." Since when have pastors had the qualifications to assess whether someone was ready to leave jail?

Now the Cuba embargo – changing his mind based on lobbying.

So everyone jumping on the Huckabee bandwagon is willing to give this guy the job of POTUS? Please America. Huckabee is a nice guy, but he's not the one we need for president.

As POTUS, will he even stand up for something? What's this guy going to do in the face of lobbyists? Roll over and do whatever they ask him to do?

Keegan, Carlisle, PA:

Huck's rise is exactly what you said a "meteoric rise" and then it disappears forever – it lasts only short period of time. Just wait and watch!

It is time to lift the embargo anyway America has trade with china, russia and the middle east. We train nation to kill America. Cuba nothing

Kennedy and the liberals gave us a communist Cuba by abandoning it's freedom fighters on the beaches. Some having to even resort to cannibalism to survive. Liberals have proven themselves time and time again to be incapable of providing national security...

A wise person can change his or her mind.
A fool Never does.

That being said if it is flip Flop on a weekly basis it would not be good/

However if the situation changes over a longer period of time/ The wise man will adapt to change. Castro ain't dead yet! (At least they are not letting it out)
Go Huckabee!!!
Independant from Iowa

Let's face it, Huckabee is not the "real deal" some make him out to be. Just because he's been a pastor and claims to be the "Christian candidate" the country is going to give him the job of POTUS? Please America, think twice. You're smarter than that. One thing that was interesting recently was the number of pardons this guy gave as Governor. It's phenominally more than the other Governors combined!! Does this guy think he's the Savior? He says he did it because he was lobbied by Pastors, and that anyone that had a pastor that asked Huckabee for forgiveness, such was given? Look, I'm all for forgiveness of sins, but there's also the law, and I don't get the impression that he has the backbone to get things done. Consider:

his infamous speech playing on YouTube, where he says, "what do you want, to raise this tax or that tax or that tax? I'm ok with that".

And now, with regard to all these pardons, he's saying to pastors, "if you want me to pardon someone, I'll pardon. Sure. No problem."

As POTUS, will he even stand up for something? What's this guy going to do in the face of lobbyists? Roll over and do whatever they ask him to do?

I just don't understand why we have to sanction on Cuba, a small communist country, and yet we kiss up to the communist China with trillions of trade deficit. They only want to buy our Hi-Technologies and recycled materials. We are buying everything Chinese.

President Clinton signed the legislation to normalize trade with China in October, 2000. His pen opened the flood gate. Remember Norman Hsu donated almost one million dollars to Hillary's war chest?

A politician can say whatever they want to get elected. What he or she will do after election is everyone's guess. You have to be able to trust your candidate.

I can trust John McCain and Ron Paul the best in the Republican league.

Huckabee is too sweet to be trusted.
He needs to address his view on evolution vs. intelligent design. Our future competitiveness depends on our direction in science education.

Another flip-flopping worm.

Huckabee sux.

Why are we keeping "pressure" on a harmless, economically poor country, which nonetheless sports health statistics that beat the U.S. in, for example, # of deaths per birth.

Maybe our big, tough government is afraid the Cuban's well-designed, no-hassle health care will creep into our Corporate Fascism that rules us.

You're a cowardly and ignorant man, Mike Huckabee.

Governor Huckabee had it right in 2002: Lift the Cuban embargo. The right wing Cubans will never support Huckabee now, but Cuban American moderates and independents may support a Republican who promises to open up Cuba, if the other choice is Hillary's more of the same failed policy.

I'd rather have a candidate who has changed position on an embargo than one who has flip-flopped onabortion.
Huckabee's flaws pale in comparison to his opponents.
If Huckabee isn't the real deal, how do you account for his meteoric rise?
If you ask me, it's because the party base has been waiting for a straight-shooter.

After admitting ignorance of the recent Iran intellignece report, the Huckster recently joked that while he didn't know much about foreign policy, "I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night!" HE is the joke. (Apparently they don't teach history, economics or management at Bible college.) I just hope that people will wake up and realize that being a "Christian" does not qualify a man for the presidency. Check out his record on crime, spending, taxes, and immigration.

WOW, I thought Hillary was weak on commitment! Huck seems to be pandering to any vote he can get, but my Cubano brothers won't go for that! This is the word I got today from my good friend in Miami! Gracias mi hermano, Felix!

I'm in complete agreement with Rich in Des Moines, except when it comes to voting democrat, I'll move to Austraila before I do that.

What? You mean, Huckabee is a flip-flopper? Wow! Now people can go after a real flip-flopper and leave Romney alone. Romney is the best presidential candidate this country's had in decades, hand's down. Huckabee is the flavor of the month–all bark and no bite. Besides, he's running for Pastor-in-Chief while I want a Commander-in-Chief. My vote's for Romney.

He can't win Florida without that Cuban-American voting bloc so of course he changes his mind about the embargo with Cuba.
Oh yeah, a real straight-shooter. You can trust this guy b/c he was a minister. Yeah, right.

I had been considering Huckabee, but the more I look into him, the less I like him. I would urge everyone who is attracted to him for his religous positions to really look into what he's really done. He's just another liberal in conservatives clothing, I'm afraid.

And He calls MITT a FLIP FLOPPER, give me a break look at the Guy's record. What we need is some other person from Ark.(sorry to all my ARK. Friends) I don't really blame you.

These candidates actions are beginning to show exactly how inexperienced, underqualified and lacking they are in the foreign affairs department, as well as, taking on the responsibilities of being the President of the United States.I have and will continue to, support the only experienced, qualified candidate that is running for the Presidency and that is Senator John McCain.

Can anyone give ma valid, legitimate reason as to why we still make such an effort to maintain the trade embargo with Cuba? And why it is mostly illegal to travel to/from there?

The embargo has not ever had the effect our government intended it to, and it remains today as one of the best examples of American ignorance in both national politics and foreign affairs.

To all of you who respond with neo-con hate mail: how many times have you been to Cuba?

Someone needs to tell these people that the cold war ended over 20 years ago.

Nice of Fred Thompson to pick up the mantle of "Official Mudslinger" in the GOP race. I wonder if his young granddaughter – oops I mean daughter – will be quite proud of his campaign when she grows up?

For what purpose must the pressure be maintained? The government that Castro overthrow was a butial, corrupt, dictatorship, but wait it was in favor I guess of the US government, let's see who fleed after Castro's takeover, members of the Basetia government and supporters, go figure. It happened 50 years ago, it is time to normalize relations with a nation 90 miles from our shore. How does one say to two nations, grow up.

What? Hah? Do I hear a flip-flop?

The true colors of Huck are being revealed little by little: his inexperience, his soft stance on immigration, his poor judgement involving criminals, his flaws and weaknesses (no way this guy will beat any Democratic candidate in general election), and his cockiness. Huck is NOT presidential material.

Huckabee is a clown! Preacher man and bigot – go back to your trailer in Arkansas!!

The embargo is close to lifting itself anyway. Castro will be gone. The next administration, possibly after revolt, will know the financial windfall awaiting the people of Cuba with renewed political direction in Cuba. Arkansas will profit. America will profit. Cuba will profit. The world will have one less Venezuela in it.

bargaining for your constituency is what the governor is supposed to do. huckabee's explanation is legit.

The one person who has constantly hit Romney's change to Pro-Life as flip flopping...

Lets be honest shall we...neither Romney's nor this change is significant.

Lets just look at these two guys and their quals for the post.

Huck can lead the national prayer and lets allow Romney (the proven leader) to lead the nation.

If it's Huck...I will vote for the very first time as a Dem.

I never thought that I would say that, but Huck is clearly incompetent. Rep's will figure that out soon enough.

Hippocrits, look at CHINA. Another example of politicians pandering to try to get votes.

China is communist, just like Cuba.
we fought against China in South Korea.
China has nukes.
China is our biggest trade partner (imports).

But we can't have an embargo against China, so we continue the senseless embargo against Cuba because is a poor country.

He is too much of a wimp to do the right thing. The embargo on Cuba has far outlived its usefulness–and created SW USA as a magnet for cubans–who don't get the same treatment as Mexicans or Haitians sneaking into the country. Lift the embargo–lift the granting of assylum to Cubans entering the country illegally. But it's clear–no Republicans or Democrats currently have shown the fortitude to go against the "Miami money-machine" of Cuban ex-patrio business consortiums.

I am sitting here shaking my head in disbelief at the drivel coming out of this man's mouth.

"...I never said we should 'quarantine' AIDS patients...we should 'isolate' them. Literary ignorance of the first order.

"...Rather than being seen as some huge change, I would call it rather the simple reality that I'm running for president of the United States, not for re-election as governor of Arkansas,” said Huckabee Monday, adding that his earlier position was intended to aid that state’s then-struggling rice farmers.

Now, said Huckabee, “I’ve got to look at this as an issue that touches the whole country, and because of the influence that the Speaker and the Hispanic community have had in helping me better understand it."

Translate to mean, "I need Cuban American votes, so I'll just reverse my stance and they're too stupid to notice.
