		<description>Why is it that when anyone even mentions &#039;Ron Paul&#039; on the internet, a horde of zombies comes out to tout his &#039;great leadership&#039;? I thought this article was about Huckabee and Rollins? In all seriousness, leave the &#039;Paulitics&#039; [Also known as the &#039;faux-itics&#039;] for the pages reserved for the loon.

As for Rollins and Huckabee, I think that the senior strategist has signed onto the wrong candidate. He may have to wait another four years until a republican can have a decent shot at the white house.

As for me, I&#039;m still unsure who to vote for...the Cthulhu &#039;08 campaign is looking awfully tempting, especially if Paul wins the ticket.

		<description>Go Huckabee! The only candidate that realizes that the current tax system is choking and killing this country. He supports the fairtax which would completely eliminate the IRS - HALLELUJAH!!! If you don&#039;t know anything about the fairtax I encourage you to read up on it here - www.fairtax.org.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;The Shift in Momentum IS FOR PRESIDENT HUCKABEE in 2008&lt;/b&gt;

Mike Huckabee is presidential material and is alone able to defeat Hillary &amp; Obama. I am now convinced that those wealthier donors to Romney&#039;s, Giuliani&#039;s, and Thompson&#039;s campaign have wasted their money and if they continue, are wasting their hard earned money on
candidates who do not have voter appeal or substance.  As a member of the younger generation, I will tell you point blank, Romney, Giuliani, and Thompson DO NOT connect with us.

ROMENY has run out of gas.  He has been the worst investment money could buy.  His persecution complex make him so defensive that he cracks under pressure.  BOTH Romney&#039;s and Giuliani&#039;s flop flip past makes them a liability and not an asset for republicans in 2008.


Every time Huckabee is heard his approval amongst Republicans and Democrats increases even WITHOUT major financial support. Just imagine what would happen if he got the major financial support. He is the Republican&#039;s secret weapon in the 2008 election. Huckabee&#039;s proven leadership can help bring America together as a team.


Listed are just some of the reasons why I switched my vote to Huckabee:

1. Huckabee can think on his feet.


2. He is personable.

 
3. He is real and does NOT put up a front.

 
4. Huckabee is a problem-solver for the poor and less fortunate.

5. Huckabee is extremely knowledgeable about various issues and communicates with confidence.

 
6. He is Pro-life and Pro-family.
 

7. He is witty and competitive. 

 
8. As governor, Huckabee is the longest proven executive leader among all the nominees. 

 
9. He demonstrates wisdom, humility, and self-control.

 
10. Huckabee is completely understandable and communicates with great
depth.

 
11. Huckabee has a consistent conservative track record.


12.  He is noble, honest, compassionate, bold, also attentive to all the questions he was ever asked about WITHOUT being all overthe board and WITHOUT sounding scattered.


13.  Huckabee is clearly the toughest on border and national security.
 


14.  Huckabee speaks without annoying hesitations and does not utilize vacuous speech. 


15.  He has earned the respect of Afro-Americans and Hispanics since he was THE ONLY top ranked one who valued and respected them by attending the latest ethnic sponsored republican forum.

 
16.  He is direct and uncompromising about the flat tax system.

 
17.  Huckabee is very focused and he is all about accomplishing measurable goals.


18. Huckabee has the most practical experience, for over ten years, defeating the Clinton &quot;socialist&quot; political machine in Arkansa and alone has the know-how to defeat them nationally. 

 
19.  Huckabee, as governor of Arkansa, did more to practically help the people of New Oreans, LA after Katrina than the governor of Louisiana because Huckabee&#039;s state government was so organized

20.  Mike Huckabee sticks to his principles without being pressured to change them at the whim of polls and media pundits.  He also answers questions very candidly WITHOUT being nervous and WITHOUT dishonestly covering himself up before the public.

21.  Huckabee is also NOT a part of the establishment in a period when there is an anti-establisnment sentiment in America.

22.  Mike Huckabee is the ONLY candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton and Obama.  The people who are passionate about Huckabee are NOT going to suddenly change their vote within the given time period of the
primaries.  The rest of the nominees command no such passion.   Face it.  It is all over.

		<description>Ed Rollins is a perfect addition to the Huckabee campaign.  For those of us who thought he would surge all along, this shows the big guns are beginning to agree.  Huckabee v. Hilary might be a very tight race at the beginning, but Huckabee should be able to pull away easily.  He comes across as funny, likable, and more of a straight shooter.  Plus, he is a Washington outsider.   The media and the democrats will not be able to make pithy explanations for his shortcomings.  The fact that the media and democrats still cannot grab hold of issues that threaten our constitutional democracy and make them real is no accident.  Impeachment for infidelity.  Destroying torture evidence is nothing but protecting national security, unless your name is Valerie Plame.  Democrats and the media run scared from conservatives.   Meantime, Huckabee&#039;s Mormonism take down shows he knows how to play the game without taking any hits. Willie Horton might just have converted to Mormonism.</description>

		<description>Truth Seeker:

Knock it off! You said, &quot;You won&#039;t understand Huckabee if you don&#039;t understand the God of the bible.&quot;

That&#039;s is exactly why Huckabee cannot be president. WE ARE TRYING TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT for crying out loud, not a minister or a preacher. Presidential candidate doesn&#039;t have to &quot;understand&quot; the Bible. He does have to understand the US Constitution however. I am a Christian, and I am sick of hearing that the President needs to be religious and someone that takes the scriptures of Bible literally.

HUCKABEE WILL LOSE GENERAL ELECTION IF HE IS THE NOMINEE.</description>

		<description>I just know that Huck will be able to use his knowledge of the Bible to become a basis of knowledge to construct an economic plan. It would definately be better than someone who has 2 degrees in both Harvard and BYU, in both business and law, with top honors in both.
Afterall, he could hire the swift boat veteran guy to drive a swift boat to barter and sell Bibles to the Chinese, so that they won&#039;t just dump all of the trillions of dollars that they are thinking of dumping. And if they refuse, then another Huck supporter, Chuck Norris, could beat the excrement out of them to comply. This would be great. Then he could send some of those other supporters, like the old pro wrestlers to back him up. They could then sell cheese whiz in a can by the case loads, along with Nascar posters. This will definately get us out of our impending financial crisis next year. 
Congratulations Al Rollins, in finding a winner! And congratulations to Iowa and South Carolina, in following along!</description>

		<description>I think this is awesome. As a nation we have been far too hard on rapists and murderers. I think if they say they are sorry and that they found Jesus we should let them go. President Huckabee will make that happen!
GO HUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I am amazed every time I hear people ridicule Huckabee for his faith. One would think the U.S. has never had a Christian President before. Just for the record, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Albright were all members of the same Evangelical denomination in which Mike Huckabee served as Pastor. 

For decades we have listened to liberals cry for tolerance, but now their own hypocrisy gets the best of them. True colors shine through and show that even liberals don&#039;t want everyone to have a chance. 

If a man believes in Jesus, he must be crazy. If someone actually has the gaul to act out the practice of his faith, he couldn&#039;t possibly lead the country.

I believe that most people are tired of hypocrites in politics. Like him or not, Huckabee is no hypocrite. He is the real deal. Clinton does not have a chance against him, but I would never say she shouldn&#039;t be aloud to run just because I disagree with her practice of faith in Jesus.

It won&#039;t even be a close race. Ed Rollin is good, but Huckabee doesn&#039;t really need him. He has authenticity on his side.</description>

		<description>I am sure all the candidates have good qualities and maybe some you disagree with emphatically.  But we need to select a candidate, let alone senators, representatives, local politicians etc. that has an opportunity to change some significant wrongs our country faces in the near and distant future.  I have heard Mr. Guiliani, Mr.Romney,  Sen.Clinton, Sen.Obama mention the patented cliches of &quot;more of the same&quot; genra (while sounding new and improved and hope for change), it will be very similar to what we have had for 15 years...sadly on some accounts.  We have sold our country out...violated the Constitution many times (i.e. allowing foreign powers &#039;WTO&#039; to control our trade)...sent liveable wages abroad, help create the next great foreign power, increased our velocity toward being more of a debtor nation in the process (notice petroleum, concrete, steel product prices etc.) and have now seen the credit bubble beginning to come undone.  A layed off employee makes about 60% of what he/she previously earned and we are still losing jobs at an alarming rate.  Does the Beijing Cowboys sound like a team you could root for?  The only two candidates that seem different in this election are RON PAUL and JOHN EDWARDS..one of them will get my vote.  Hang in there everybody...change is inevitable.</description>

		<description>Rollins is not a regular contributor on Lou Dobbs. I&#039;ve seen him first time on broadcast 1 or 2 days ago. I guess he already knew that his announcement is coming. Huckabee is not going to become the next Ronald Reagan. He doesn&#039;t have anything to offer to public to be even close to Great President.</description>

		<description>Eric, from THE Republic of Texas 

Your comments intrigue me.  Yes, I will agree we have had economic growth for 25 years, with a few bouts of recession.  But seeing that we&#039;ve had 8 years with Reagan, 8 years with Clinton, 8 years with Bush; how does that prove that &quot;Reaganomics&quot; worked?
Furthermore, you cite Ireland&#039;s incredible growth in economy as being a result of an adaptation of &quot;Reaganomics,&quot; but you offer no evidence to support your theory.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s an angry, disturbing comment on Ron Paul - we are going to set another campaign fundraising record on December 16th, how about that?
Ron Paul, without a doubt, has the MOST active supporters, regardless of party.  I see NO other candidate getting the same kind of volunteer effort as Ron Paul (I know GOP, Dem, Independents, all working for Ron Paul).  We the People are angry and tired of the BS coming from Washington and America&#039;s sovereignty being sold up the river.  Ron Paul supporters are in this race for the long haul and his ideas are catching on across the country and people are beginning to wake up.  A balanced-budget, limited federal government with a non-interventionist foreign policy, a sound dollar backed by something other than consumer confidence &amp; Americans being taken care of first for once; these sound like &quot;crazy&quot; ideas to me.</description>

		<description>Living in the NY tristate area, I had the pleasure of viewing all the NJ governor election coverage, and I recall when Ed Rollins was Christine Todd Whitman&#039;s campaign manager, he admitted to suppressing the black vote turnout by paying off black democrat ministers, or something like that.  Don&#039;t vote for HucKKKabee!</description>

		<description>Ok, I&#039;m not sure about everyone else, but the GOP primary (as depicted by the media) has been scaring me ridiculously, I&#039;m a Republican fiscally, and theology doesn&#039;t even come close to touching why I&#039;m voting.  The sad realization is if peoples beliefs are going to decide who we vote for on the GOP side, the GOP is going to lose all the rational voters who don&#039;t believe the president&#039;s beliefs should have any play in the government.

Setting Huckabee&#039;s religious beliefs aside, he&#039;s an ok fellow, but realistically, he doesn&#039;t have the strength on the issues.  Being a nice guy also shouldn&#039;t play a role in who we vote for.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t understand why Hucklebee&#039;s personal beliefs are something to ridicule.  If you&#039;re not a Christian, and you don&#039;t agree with his view on evolution vs. creation or anything else in the Bible, that is your right.  But is that any reason to belittle him and the BILLIONS of other Christians who believe the same?  Why is Huckabee in the lead, if he&#039;s so stupid?  I guess that means there are millions of stupid people living right here in America too, eh?  If that&#039;s the case, if you have all the right answers, why live in a country full of idiots, who are supporting one of their own?  Just move to England or some other atheistic, liberal country where moral relativism is the prevalent ideology.  Seems this country was established on the principle that you are free to believe as you wish without fear of persecution.  
I&#039;m sure if the Pilgrims lived here today, they&#039;d set sail for a different place to find some religious freedom without being called names.  To some people, the idea of God and Creation and everything in the Bible is holy and sacred.  If you don&#039;t agree, at least have some respect for those who do.</description>

		<description>I have to admit that I am becoming quite concerned about my fellow Republicans.  Are you serious?  We&#039;re about to nominate someone for the most powerful office in the world and the best thing we can say about the guy is that he&#039;s &quot;likeable&quot;. &quot;Shucks, we like his witty one-liners and Southern charm.&quot;


&lt;b&gt;Let&#039;s discuss records, accomplishments, vision, and capacity to bring about real change.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Nobody can touch Romney when it comes to PROVEN ABILITY TO LEAD.&lt;/b&gt; He&#039;s been incredibly successful in business. He brought real vision and leadership to MA and he brought people together to bring about real change. How else do you explain balancing a budget deficit without raising taxes? Finally, he took a scandal laden, financially troubled Olympics and made them a huge success.

Mitt Romney has shown time and again in everything he has done that he is a real executive capable of taking on big problems. 

I&#039;m amazed when I read the posts that say &quot;Mitt hasn&#039;t told us *how* he&#039;s going to do this or that.&#039; Are you kidding? Of ALL the candidates out there on both sides, Romney is the ONLY candidate who has actually put a real health care plan in place. He doesn&#039;t need to speculate about how it might be done. HE&#039;S ALREADY DONE IT!! Just like he did with health care, just like he did erasing a budget deficit without raising taxes, just like he turned around the Olympics and countless businesses…like he&#039;s *always* done, he&#039;ll lay out a clear plan, put the right people in place, and execute.

&lt;b&gt;That&#039;s what we need people - A PROVEN LEADER. &lt;/b&gt;

I am definitely voting for ROMNEY!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit that I am becoming quite concerned about my fellow Republicans.  Are you serious?  We're about to nominate someone for the most powerful office in the world and the best thing we can say about the guy is that he's "likeable". "Shucks, we like his witty one-liners and Southern charm."</p>
<p><b>Let's discuss records, accomplishments, vision, and capacity to bring about real change.</b></p>
<p><b>Nobody can touch Romney when it comes to PROVEN ABILITY TO LEAD.</b> He's been incredibly successful in business. He brought real vision and leadership to MA and he brought people together to bring about real change. How else do you explain balancing a budget deficit without raising taxes? Finally, he took a scandal laden, financially troubled Olympics and made them a huge success.</p>

		<description>Ed Rollins is disgusting, another Karl Rove type. Just goes to show you that Huckabee is even more diabolical than Bush.  He&#039;s an evil nasty person and the day he&#039;s elected president will be judgment day for sure...the rapture and armagedon.</description>

		<description>Huckabee is just having his 15 min. of fame. He will fall from grace when more people realize that he is not who they think he is. And why are people giving the Paul supporters grief? So what if they are more passionate than any of the other candidates supporters. Jealousy I guess.</description>

		<description>Hoorray for Huckabee!
Another reason why educated people around the world think we Americans are crazy....
Nothing like a bible-thumpin&#039; biggot to unite the country and restore our position as a respected leader on the world stage.
With the great minds behind Reagan (who, let&#039;s remember, had Alzheimer&#039;s disease while in office- a neurogenerative disease of the brain) , now guiding the Huckabee ship, it&#039;s hard to imagine anything but smooth saling ahead for the USA... Titanic style.</description>

Ed, I hope you can slap some science into Huckabee!
It won&#039;t make me vote for him, but he&#039;ll sound less stupid.</description>

		<description>After sifting through the angry, disturbed comments of Ron Paul supporters and the near-do-well leftwingers, one occasionally hears a simlance of rationality.  There is a reason for the national surge of Mike Huckabee.  He is a conservative by conviction.  His honesty and sincerity shine through all of the mudslinging. The American people like him and believe him.  We havn&#039;t had such quality in a long time.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure why CNN didn&#039;t post a comment I made earlier... the main point I had made was that although Huckabee does lack experience in things like foreign policy (so did Clinton, who held the same job as Huckabee, but it didn&#039;t bother liberals then), the real reason so many are against him is because he is a Christian who sticks to his beliefs.  Folks like &#039;Kunle love to throw around the word &quot;tolerance&quot; as if saying it is some kind of magic wand, all the while failing to admit they are prejudiced against any and all things Christian.  Then these same haters start calling evangelicals names like &quot;the Taliban&quot; to create fear of religion.  The word for that is &quot;fear-mongering&quot;, the same thing they accuse Bush and Republicans of doing. Just calling it like I see it.

Susan... so what if Huckabee doesn&#039;t believe in evolution?  Like the story of Adam and Eve, it is and always will be an unprovable theory.  Nobody was around when the Earth was created, so why are people like Huck &quot;squirrly&quot;?  I think it&#039;s just as squirrly that so many people accept the THEORY of global warming as gospel when just a few decades ago there was an uproar about global cooling.  Ironic, huh?</description>

		<description>Truth Seeker:

Knock it off! You said, &quot;You won&#039;t understand Huckabee if you don&#039;t understand the God of the bible.&quot;

That&#039;s is exactly why Huckabee cannot be president. WE ARE TRYING TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT for cryting out loud, not a minister or a preacher. Presidential candiate doesn&#039;t have to &quot;understand&quot; the Bible. He does have to understand the US Constitution however. I am a Christian, and I am sick of hearing that the President has to be religious and someone that understands the Bible. 

HUCKABEE WILL LOSE GENERAL ELECTION IF HE IS THE NOMINEE.</description>

The fact is that any change from president idiot will be welcome, and hopefully the GOP will be a big loser in 2008, deservedly.

This administration will go down in history as THE WORST EVER!!!</description>

		<description>This is awesome.  If Huckabee wins the Republican nomination it will be that much easier to get a Democrat into the white house.  America likes her leaders to have faith but is tired of the problems caused by those who blindly follow ideology.

This will be an especially easy win if Obama lands the Democratic ticket, as Christians will have the option of voting for a fellow devout Christian who actually embraces Christian values like helping the poor and disadvantaged and promoting peace.

After all, if Jesus were here he wouldn’t be a pro-big-business cut-benefits-to-the-poor war-mongering religious right Republican.

Go Huckabee!!</description>

		<description>Republicans are always on a lookout for the next Reagan.

First it was Fred, now its Huckabee...tomorrow, who knows.

This group of Republicans who grew up (in their 20 and 30, they are 45-55 today) when Reagan was the president will go to their graves believing that Reagan was the second coming of Christ (I don&#039;t mean this literally, but you get the point).

Reagan time was when this country started turning into something the US never was.  The unions were smeared and destroyed, the government regulations were removed, big business took over (yes I know big business is responsible for the rise of the US, but that was when they were regulated).  This is the time when the &quot;free trade agreements&quot; came to life, removing the tariff system and allowing the big business companies to move their production lines to 3rd world child labor sites, in effect destroying many small American towns.

...and all though all this worked for a few years during the Reagan terms, we are reaping what we sowed.  

You can&#039;t deny that you cannot raise a family of 4 or 5 on an average income of one person today.  

Reagan, and his policies started all this, thru the guise of &quot;personal responsibility&quot; and &quot;government is the problem&quot;.  The government wasn&#039;t perfect, but it seemed to me that it had worked for over 200 years.

Reagan was the first step into destroying what FDR did.  

Reagan was the biggest mistake the US ever made, and it&#039;s going to take a lot to get us back to the FDR days.

When the next generation of Americans, who didn&#039;t live thru and wasn&#039;t fooled by Reagan’s &quot;beautiful speeches&quot; look back at Reagan, they will see him for the true monster he was.

We shouldn&#039;t be looking for another Reagan, we should be looking for the next Franklin D. Roosevelt.</description>

		<description>It will surely all play out for us to see, but count me as one American who thinks we could do a whole lot worse than the Huckster against Obama in the general election ... a whole lot worse.  Both men are at their core honest, centrist, and low-key partisan if that.</description>

Can we please elect someone this time with brains, skill, and ability to make decisions with some thought and intelligence instead of pretending to pray in order to find an answer to this country&#039;s problems???????  Religious figures belong in a church, not in government.</description>

		<description>JOSH, AKRON, OHIO

Well put. I have just one question for Mr. Huckabee. How does he explain all those 200 million year dinosaur skeletons that archaeologists all over the world keep finding? If one were to do a chronological timeline based on Huckabee&#039;s beliefs, you would have to say that dinosaurs lived only 5,000 years ago. Therefore the great ice age must have occured during the 2nd or 3rd week of August, say around 1958 or so. The ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations rose and fell about the same time that John Kennedy was telling Kruschev and Castro to go pound sand in the early sixties. And Christ was really born in the disco era, say around 1977 and World War 2 was really just last week. Those southern Baptists are geniuses I tell you, geniuses! Huckabee would put this country on a fastrack back to the middle ages, complete with leper colonies and witch burning.</description>

<p>Well put. I have just one question for Mr. Huckabee. How does he explain all those 200 million year dinosaur skeletons that archaeologists all over the world keep finding? If one were to do a chronological timeline based on Huckabee's beliefs, you would have to say that dinosaurs lived only 5,000 years ago. Therefore the great ice age must have occured during the 2nd or 3rd week of August, say around 1958 or so. The ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations rose and fell about the same time that John Kennedy was telling Kruschev and Castro to go pound sand in the early sixties. And Christ was really born in the disco era, say around 1977 and World War 2 was really just last week. Those southern Baptists are geniuses I tell you, geniuses! Huckabee would put this country on a fastrack back to the middle ages, complete with leper colonies and witch burning.</p>

		<description>Is anyone seriously going to vote for someone who doesn&#039;t believe in evolution?  Well, maybe the religious right, but that&#039;s it.  I guess we&#039;ll find out just how many truly squirrley people there are in this country - besides all the ones that voted for Bush-twice</description>
