Mike Huckabee on Bush Bunker Mentality

The facts are his apparent attack on "W" has been taken out of context (By flip-flopping, waffle-man Mitt "I will bring the assault weapons ban back, but I am a lifetime member of the NRA" Romney) much like his latest ad where Mitt & the liberals are trying to say the book shelf behind him is a Cross that he planned to be some hidden Christian agenda message…

"Bush made mistakes, but made the right choice to confront Islamic fascism in their neighborhoods. More could also be said about misinformation and bad advisers.
" – Mike Huckabee

He was referring to the policy itself, not President Bush. Again a half truth/misquote from Mitt Romney…

Here is a good piece on his sentiments about Speaker Pelosi you should enjoy…

Mike Huckabee on the issues and policies:
http://www.mikehuckabee.com/

It is "separate" not "seperate". Don't you remember your third grade teacher telling you to be careful–that the word has "a rat" in it.

But G.W. Bush is not running like Bill Clinton is.
What's Mike's point?

I agree with Carol from California. People – Politics is all smoke and mirrors. They say the same thing every election. Huck to me is a giant step more genuine then the rest. Most of you are nothing more then arm chair quarterbacks. Chill.

Bush a Hero…. seriously?…. the retard at the head of the most arrogant, criminally corrupt and obstructionist administration in history. Bush is a marinette.

Funny this article comes from the CFR publication. Is this support for Huck or is the CFR trying to expose him? This "think-tank" is a bunch of elite Rockefeller globalists who support the never ending "war on Terror" to wrangle control over middle east energy and to acheive their own interests through world market domination.

Good for Mike…Its about time someone stands up to that bully or kiss @#$. Either way, why hold a "candidate" accountable for what he said against mr. president but not ask the same from the Prez. about breaking the military, disintigrating the middle class, robbing the U.S people and ……You get the point. When do we make this joker accountable the U.S people?

Huckabee has done the proper thing; he saw something wrong with the president (of which there are many things) and his policies and said this was wrong and I don't agree with it.

I think that Huckabee is just following the flow and ideas of most of the American public at this point. The war in Iraq was done poorly; no planning for winning the peace or after the war. The reasons for invading were wrong to start with as well.

I <3 Huckabee

Mark C, Asheville NC, You can go ahead and make all the jokes you want about Ron Paul. But the Paul supporters that you seem to hate so much are fighting for your individual rights as well. Stop being such a tool and open your eyes.

You forget the FIRST Republican to with the guts to speak up for what is right and not just what the status quo sets as the standard for foreign policy, RON PAUL.

Finally a Republican that has the guts to speak up for what is right and not just what the status quo sets as the standard for foreign policy.

I've lived in Arkansas for the past 22 years. Indeed Mr. Huckabee never met a tax that he didn't like. Everybody hates paying taxes when they are just squandered. Taxes are collected by the force of government, unlike donations which are voluntarily and in most cases given with a glad heart. Today is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the match that started the American Revolution. Now on this anniversary we celebrate the American Revolution Part II, a bloodless revolution. Give your donation today to the real hope for America and restore the republic, vote Ron Paul.

Although I won't be voting for a Republican presidential candidate, I totally agree with Huckabee's assessment of Bush.

THE ONLY REASONABLY GOOD PEOPLE WHO WE HAD HEARD ABOUT RUNNING AND THEN BAILED EARLY WERE Evan Bayh and Chuck Hagel. It's sad that people are dumb enough to have supported the jerks who now are the top teir choices. None of them are worth a squat. I could have been led to Obama but one certain ignorant person is turning me off to him real quick. Huck is Bush Lite, I've had enough of that. Romney…….. UGH, McCain? maybe had he not lost his cookies, Hillary? No way, really bad for the country. Rudy, 2 terms of crooks in the White house is enough. Edwards? Doesn't matter, he won't be around long enough anyhow. Thompson? Can't decide if it's the Hollywood elite, lawyer status, or lack of experience that draws hypocrits to him…….

It sure is shaping up to be another day to sleep in come next Novemeber.

Huckabees ran down everyone else, now the Bush Administration, guess Huckabee is going to have his say as he goes down and out in this election!
And he talks about others?

Westboro Baptist Church LOVES and hearts Huckabee!

If you're attacking Huckabee, you truly don't know much about the man. He's a solid, very electable politician with unwavering views on the issues (despite what liberal media tries to portray). The comments I've been reading about him are extremely uninformed. Listen to him speak. He's intelligent and passionate… and bringing up the Crusades only identifies you as an idiot. I’d personally like to see this country progress in all social, economic AND moral arenas.

this is old news. huckabee has these things on his website on the disagreements he has had with the president regarding the war and the handling of hurricane katrina. i for one find it refreshing that he isn't a loyal "bushie" and is willing to admit the administration made mistakes. it is however easy and play armchair president and say what he would've done different years later.

Well at least he has said one educated thing.

What most of the lefties here don't want to understand is that Bush's failures are not because of his religion. Unfortunately, he let too many people (Cheney and Rumsfeld)influence his decision making in Iraq. Huckabee is just stating the obvious here.

People need to quit assuming that Huckabee is "just like Bush" because they have similar spiritual views. That's like saying all Hispanics, or all African-Americans, share the same opinions, which sounds like prejudice to me.

I started to read this and first thought, wow, he is critical of Bush. Took a while, but better late than never. But then he didn't know about the latest intelligence report about Iran? And he thinks he can get away with this by quipping "I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night"
Just what we need.
Give me a break!
IOWA PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS GUY!!

Gee Mike, isn't that what we have been trying to tell yout party for 7 years now? The fact is that this is the best the GOP has to offer; and that is scary.

Dear "Friends":

The snow is fallling in Kansas on the yellow brick road. Fallout Fallin, Who will win.

Be sure to vote, but you have to register. Let not the snow, rain, fallen roads or trees or trips keep you away. Register for the absentee voter.

The season is here let not the arguing party keep the market closed nor down nor construction. Run Running Bear for the weather is impacted by the China snow. Fallout keep it out it damages the air we breath. Four score and how many years are lost to cancer due to the gates of Hell being opened pandoras way from the Democrats. Huckabee sounds like the old promises of an expresident who is waving and flapping his jaws as though he were the candidate.

Be not fooled he did us and you in all the way to China. Russia watch your back for the rain moves up your way.

Fall out.

who all did the wrong thing preacher man? Your history is not pure.

visions of Jesus and Mary and God and the Holy Ghost where will you be come judgement day. Hippocrit!!!!

Who and where and when are the seven gables. Oh Little town of Bethlehem how still we see the tonight.

GOD BLESSED THIS NATION AND GAVE US A PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH JR with integrity. May he do this again.

My vote is for John McCain.

You are amoung those who I would not feel my children are protected.

Little girls and boys. Good speakers are not always the loudest. Jesus did not yell but protected and was protected the born and unborn child.

the current market is going to rise and all this rehtoric will dissapate and evaporate. When the cloud leaves and rises we do not want to be left with damage that the elephant must clean up again and again as it has in the past from the Demos of the C rats.

You should feel embarrassment Bill Clinton and all who pretend. For this nation and its citizens are to be protected from spending outside this nation for another to put us under or on the street where you live.

In this season and year men and women examine who they are and the meaning of the beginning and end. Create a market that is rising. Bring it home to the USA MCCain.

If I were to say who on the Demo Edwards.

President George W Bush Jr is a hero and time will historically judge him facing the enemy and the nature as the storm of Kansas, the cold war was ended civilly.

The Baby in the manger be more than thine opponent. Huckaby nor Romney can this be.

Make the banks good and encourage to save and Americans buy quality carefully. Citizens First!

Amen.

Amazing. Huckabee is a brilliant strategist. He's got liberals and conservatives alike buzzzing all about him – all on his $2 million budget! I am a Jewish American, was undecided until two weeks ago – now a full supporter of Huckabee. Everything I read here reminds me of all the stuff that was said about Reagan. For all you who commented here on him – go back and watch ALL the debates IN FULL. Clearly you don't know WHY he is the frontrunner.

There is not a republican candidate that can stand toe to toe with Joe Biden. On every issue from civil rights to the Iraq war. Joe Biden is the pinnacle leadership.

Is this Huckabee's attempt to gain the center ground? Despite what most everyone else seems to think around the internet, I'd say he's doing a rather good job of that.

If he is lying through his teeth as some would have you believe, he does a MUCH better job of it than Mitt Romney.

Huckabee should also have slammed Bill Clinton whose tepid response to terrorist attacks on the WTC in 1993, followed by the USS Cole and the embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, emboldened the terrorists to keep planning and hitting us. Bush, though not perfect, did better than Clinton because when we look at the current state of affairs in Iraq and the wider Middle East, we can see things have simmered. Even Iran has toned down under pressure from us. We re-established our position in the world as the superpower we are, and refused to take crap from loosely knitted barbaric groups waging jihad. History will vindicate Bush as a hero, especially given what our enemies are still intent on doing to us.

Hey people, take the time to read the whole essay before you make a comment. Be an "educated voter", will you?

http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20080101faessay87112/michael-d-huckabee/america-s-priorities-in-the-war-on-terror.html

I voted for Bush and I agree 100% with what Huckabee has to say about our foreign policies. And as of now, he is the best candidate the republicans and the country has in this election year.

What he has going for himself is not a "political campaign" but a "political movement". It will take some time for the media and the pundits to realize this.

The fact that Huck finally gets it is surprising, and while politically motivated, welcome. The only people who think the Iraq policy is working also believed in "Vietnamization" – dopey neo-con diehards.

The fact that the violence is being reduced is because we're paying the same people who killed Americans from 2003-to mid-2007 (the Sunni tribal-based insurgents and former Saddam loyalists) not to kill Americans. That's what goes for progress.

Jonathan, Westboro KS

Are you from the Westboro Baptist Church? You know the same people who protest Military Funerals and listen the bigoted hate-monger, Fred Phelps. You need serious help Jonathan if you want a theocracy, seeing as it is unconstitutional and unamerican. Please take your Christian-Taliban, world domination views away from this country…

Mike Huckabee thinks he can become president by making little quips,& being a 'likeable' all around guy. This,I think,is to take the focus off his consistent 'taxing' in Ark.Did he ever see a tax he didn't agree with? Bush was left with a mess from the previous admn.When will people want to admit that?In re: to Iranian intel,there are other opinions out there about their nuclear prog.that prove these 'Bush=haters'in the CIA wrong.

Rollins is sort of a Republican Bob Shrum…suggests that Huck just doesn't have it!

It is clearly much easier to take the moral high ground (as you define it) when you are a minor candidate. Power corrupts, and even the scent of it is enough to do it. Now that he thinks he has a shot, it will be an attempt to win at any cost.

He has recently also taken a very un-christian stance on illegal immigration. Has he forgotten that Jesus was an immigrant? He and his family fled from Judea to Egypt to avoid Herod's "slaughter of the innocents". Would be a different world if they were stopped and turned back at the border, now wouldn't it?

Talking about crossing over to the dark side. No more pretense of outsider, breath of fresh air politics. Rollins is the definition of corrupt, divisive campaigns

"Gore won, Bush stole the election.. blah blah blah. Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened… blah blah blah..

Posted By John, Tallahassee, FL : December 15, 2007 1:40 pm

haha John, that was good but sad… no John, Bush didn't "know" about 9-11 ahead of time but he should have. The CIA was plenty worried and tried to get him to pay serious attention and even gave him a specific warning about using hijacked planes but he didn't care about Al-Quada and went on vacation, 6 months on the job.

Meanwhile the FBI was tailing hijackers in San Diego, arrested a would be hijacker at a Minnesota flight school a couple weeks ahead of time but Bush never put the FBI on notice as to what the CIA was warning him about and just never bothered to put all our intellegence and police people on alert.

We had enough to at least prevent and likely bust most of those 20 hijackers 2 weeks before 9-11 unfolded. Bush didn't know because he was too stupid to bother to know. Subsequent disasters, like Katrina etc., just kind of illuminated that is part of his "management style".

But as bad as that is, there is nothing more sickening than seeing right wing republican hacks, in the name of partisanship, excuse these personal failures and resulting national disasters with absolutely no one being held accountable.

Every republican still making excuses for Bush should be held accountable and should be tried and made to pay off the national debt and the future medical bills of all the young men who lost their limbs for Bush's mistake in Iraq.

Hillary Clinton represents what I despise most about politics. She is phoney, manipulative, opportunistc, scheming, deceptive, two-faced, and simply the wrong person to lead this country and the world now. Barack Obama is the right man for the job. He has vision and understanding and profound good judgement and is honest and straightforward — a rare characteristic in a politician these days — especially missing in Hillary Clinton. I think Huck and Obama are good for us America!

Come on, Huck, the raft is beginning to go.

Read all about it by Mark Twain.

Edwards is such a slimeball. Check this out…

I have disagreed with Huckabee on many many issues and do not like his flip-floppings. But his current opinion on Bush is absolutely correct.

hey mike huckaee little late with the arrogant thing about the bush-whacker one of the same only good republican if you could say good is sen. chuck hagel he said bush the most arrogant administration he every seen.Clinton 08

Chilling account on Huckabee's Record. This is a must see! He's a scary guy.

What a breath of fresh air to hear Huck's comments. Compared to flip/flop Romney and Guilliani, maybe honesty is back in the Republican party.

The closer we get to Nopvember the more " I am not Bush " we will hear from the GOP – but I think they tied there fortunes to him the last 6 years and I hope those that supported him blindly do not get elected – re-elcted

Holla!

Huckster sounds like Ron Paul more and more every day. Maybe he can be Paul's VP.

“Much like a top high school student, if [the United States] is modest about its abilities and achievements, if it is generous in helping others, it is loved. But if it attempts to dominate others, it is despised,” I said that 20 years ago. Where the heck has this guy been?

I personally think another republican would not be any good!

I'm no George Bush fan, but I have question for the Huckster. Does he think that if we had gone to Osama Bin Laden back in 1990 and simply asked what we could do as a country to help Muslims, does he think that the two attacks on the Twin Towers would never have happened? Doe he think that if we had gone to Saddam Hussein and asked what we could do to help the Shiites and the Kurds in Iraq, does he think Saddam would have never invaded Kuwait and never used chemical weapons on his own people?

Mike Huckabee is offically not getting my vote. The more I learn of him the less I like him. Turns out, he's as liberal as they come on taxes and immigration. Also, I recently learned that he gave over 1000 commutations and pardons as Governor..including the pardon of 12 people convicted of murder. This guy may sound good but has a terrible record. For me, this Bush comment is just one too many pieces of politcal baggage.

Go Huckabee!! Stand up to the extreme cons and Bush. I'm startin' to like this guy. If he were a Democrat, I'd definitely vote for him but Huckabee seems to be the more moderate Republican, which I like; not an extreme christian wanting to blow up the middle east because they think Jesus will come rescue them from reality!

Carol in Camarillo…You want an UNFORMED opinion to lead us forward??? Did you read the entire article…where he admitted not even knowing about the most recent news regarding Iran and it's nuclear weapons until he was informed by *journalists* a day later????? I'm a stay at home Mom and I was more informed than that!! Typical Republican….uneducated and needing to validate their own cluelessness by voting for someone just as uneducated.

Must be a shared christian thing, this inevitable, infallible, arrogant attitude. Every divergent denomination a schismatic heresy; it's a wonder the entire supernatural myth didn't destroy itself centuries ago. History teaches us that it certainly tried.

If Huckabee really said this, he does not deserve the republican nomination. He has broken the rule of Reagan's 11th commandment, thou shalt not attack another republican. If he said this it really shows that he is a bumbling idiot.

"Clearly Huckabee understands the proper application of troop levels better than General Tommy Franks, and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff."

As Mike Huckabee said in a debate many months ago, he would listen to the advice of people in uniform to make decisions, and not just those in a suit and tie.

Electing a minister would be dangerous. I agree, as soon as he thinks that God wants him to do something, all his actions are written in the sky and he thinks he can get away with anything.

The "Huckster" reminds me so much of Jimmie Carter, good intentions, good speaker, but just dumber than dirt, and he'd rather run from a fight than win it!

Gore won, Bush stole the election.. blah blah blah. Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened… blah blah blah.. Bush knew Saddam didn't have WMDs but wanted revenge for the planned assassination of his daddy.. blah blah blah.. No blood for oil.. blah blah blah.. Global warming is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Hurricane Katrina is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Unemployment is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Subprime mortgages is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Bush is a dummy.. blah blah blah.. Neocon this, Neocon that, Rah Rah Rah!

Wipe the hatred away from your eyes and get a grip on reality, please!

Posted By John, Tallahassee, FL

You're right John, it's not Bushes fault. It's the Republican's. That's why that Party is on it's way out. America has wiped it's eye's and they don't like what they see. Maybe you should hope they go back to sleep.

George W. Bush said in a debate before he was elected that nation building wasn't in our country's best interest. How'd that turn out? Huckabee will say whatever needs to be said to get elected. The question is what will he do if elected. I'm glad though that he had a snappy commercial memorized to address questions regarding his foreign policy experience.

Isn't this the Pot calling the Kettle black?
A man who speaks of the arrogance of others, yet at the same time has the arrogance within himself to stand up to the american people and proclaim that woman are inferior and should be submissive towards men….

Am I missing something here?

In the 21st Century?

He is an Evangelical Republican Hypocrite..

Just like all of the Closeted Republicans out there who claim to be straight, yet have sex with men and are against equal rights for lesbians and gays…

Just like the Small Government, Fiscally responsible Conservatives who have increased the government more in the last 7 years than any government since FDR !

The list goes on and on……. The pot calling the kettle black!

I dont trust one thing coming from the CFR. Its a treasonous institution that needs to be exposed for its global ambitions.

Huck can try to steal the spotlight. I bet the CFR didnt count on the truth being able to spread FOR FREE over the INTERNET.

Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.
Thomas Jefferson

He is just another, among the many, lying politician. They will all say and do anything to keep sucking their portion (their salary & benifits) of the government dole for life.

Term Limits are what America needs, from the federal to the local level. No more than two terms in any office!

Change is what we need and we have no chance under the present system of insuring we get change.

Funny how liberal CNN is running biased story after biased story about Huckabee! Keep it up, CNN, and everyone will realize just how much of a "Real Deal" Huckabee actually is!

Can't believe how the smear campaign is out in full force against Huckabee. Liberals are realizing that this nation really is a God believing, conservative country after all! Just such a majority is going to rule the country, and rightfully so because liberals and their relative morals and values are worthless.

Huckabee is a phony who will say anything if he thinks it will get him elected.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who isn't pandering for votes, thats integrity!

*** LOL, nothing like a Neocon trying to put on a Ron Paul suit..Seriously, lets play a game of "How many Ron Paul ideas can I steal today and butcher into meaningless lip service" ***

What's going to be fun is watching the Ron Paul retards shut up when he never gets more than 3% in any state.

This is so refreshing to hear from a Republican candidate. Although I may agree with some basic tenets of the moderate Republican party, I will never vote for any of them as long as they continue to support this president that has done irreparable damage to our country. And that includes being silent about things.

Although I do appreciate Huck's sense of humor (ie the Holiday Inn plug), it's still not enough to garner my vote. It's just funny how once all the GOP candidates were against Ron Paul's no war stance, and now, one by one they'll all climb onto the bandwagon. GOP- Goodbye Original Platform!!!

Good for Mike Huckabee! Regarding the government's crusade for truth, let me get something straight here. The government investigates and will probably indict MLB players for steroid/human growth hormones use, and yet it is okay to pump livestock raised for human consumption with growth hormones and antiobiotics. Not to mention that evidence presented in the Mitchell report has raised questions of validity (http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2007-12-15T085152Z_01_N12160477_RTRUKOC_0_US-BASEBALL-STEROIDS.xml&WTmodLoc=NewsArt-L3-Top+NewsNews-3)

Why is it I don't hear anyone screaming about Huckabee's 'lack of experience'? Is it because his 'age' clouds the reality just like Hillary's age clouds it? So to look at her when she uses that word 'experience' who would argue because what we're really subliminally swallowing is the 'age' thing as 'experience'. So I think Obama is being a gentleman for not saying, "People, you are confusing this 'experience' thing for 'age'. Anyone 60 years old is walking 'experience', is just — life. And so this by no means qualifies one to be president. And yet, because Huckabee is older, bulkier, former governor and has 12 years Baptist Minster under his belt, he is not being attacked on this 'experience' thing even though he has absolutely no foreign relations experience. Is it because he was governor? Well then the American people again are duped because that has nothing to do with being president either. In both positions you have a staff to call upon. Does Huck want to bring the troops home or keep them there? Was he in favor of the invasion of Iraq or against it? Sounds like he was for it but was only against Bush not sending in enough soldiers. So what's his position here?

Help us bring the theocracy to America! With a Christian nation we can beat Islamic Fascists and take it for a new Christian Empire! The Book of Revelation demands it!

Geo Bush was bought and is a product of the PNAC! He, follows instructions since prior to 9/11. Whats the mystery? And this time its not the "Economy Stupid". Its Envy and Power, Oh, and Money of Course! However, sadly money is only the Means, not the End!

Oh, don't pick on Mike so much– half the time Bush isn't aware of what's going on. At least.

Welcome to current politics, where substance no longer matters. You get what you vote for.

I would sure like to tell Huckabee, I was set to vote for him,until he decided to degrade President Bush. Just remember we have a lot a boy and girl in harms way. So see you!!

5. Imploding Mike

What in the world is happening? The Republicans are taking a page from the Democratic playbook — sniping at each other! At any rate, we know this isn't true. Bush himself told us in 2000 that he was a "compassionate conservative" that would unite, instead of divide, Washington.

huck-a-bee couldn't even be considered a viable candidate for a pimple on the presidents ass.

This is an in-depth, multi-pronged analysis and all CNN can come up with is "Huckabee blasts 'arrogant Bush'"? What a joke.

READ BEYOND THE FIRST FEW PARAGRAPHS. Read the entire piece; it will take awhile, but it's worth it. I don't agree with Huckabee on every point he makes, but it's clear that he is no intellectual lightweight.

I've just returned from a trip through major cities in So America and boy am I exhausted from having to explain that not all Americans approve of George Bush etc. etc. etc.
Now even Huckleberry Hound from Arkansas gets it too.
Bush has been a total disaster for America with his preemptive war against the wrong nation and now is involved in a religious/civil war and when anyone objects Bush says Oh you are against the troops, unAmerican and all the rest of the BS.
I think I might vote for Hillary… just kidding.

Hucakabee says Bush administration has arrogant bunker mentality. How dare you Hucakabee! Saying that Mormoms are Christians is ok! or saying that Your religion should not play a role in who becomes President. How could a man of God make such a statement. Faith is in your heart therefore it is our hearts and mind that cause us to make decisions. Listen man of God, Check yourself real good. Jesus said If you deny me My father will deny you.

Being President is a tough job. Let's let God do the judging. "He who lives in Glass House should cast the first stone".

Thanks Huckabee for making me feel nice, and warm inside. When I hear you speak I know americans are good, warm, decent christian people. That is how Bush another compassionate conservative made me feel.

But then Bush started a war that killed and wounded almost a million Iraqs and 70,000 killed or wounded americans on false pretense. Ran up the deficit and inflation with more bloated compassionate programs. I know you won't do that… but wait you say we should've sent more soldiers to die and continue to do so for "honor." I've counted your promises in debates. Your compassionate programs run in the trillions that raises taxes and inflation, which hurt the middle/poor class.

You know, I think I don't need you to feel good and warm inside. I'll just have a bowel of chicken soup instead, it will cost us a lot less.

This republican campaign gets more humorous with time. Now Huckleberry is stealing a page from Willard the Mitt's playbook: just tell them what you know they want to hear! So now there are two of them too busy pandering to tell the truth.

1. Flip-Flop Mike
2. Tax Hike Mike
3. Wolf in Sheeps Clothing Mike
4. add yours here…

DUH!!!

Gore won, Bush stole the election.. blah blah blah. Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened… blah blah blah.. Bush knew Saddam didn't have WMDs but wanted revenge for the planned assassination of his daddy.. blah blah blah.. No blood for oil.. blah blah blah.. Global warming is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Hurricane Katrina is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Unemployment is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Subprime mortgages is Bush's fault.. blah blah blah.. Bush is a dummy.. blah blah blah.. Neocon this, Neocon that, Rah Rah Rah!

Wipe the hatred away from your eyes and get a grip on reality, please!

As for Huckabee, running for President is all about strategy and timing. This might get votes in the general election (pick up moderate Democrats who actually believe in God and want to feel good about how they think the world views them), but I seriously question taking this position during the primaries considering the recent successes in Iraq("NEOCON NEOCON SISK BOOM BAH"). He's weak on foreign policy (can't believe he didn't know about the NIE) and maybe this is his attempt at a coming out party. I can't wait to read Krauthammer's assessment. He's been down on him for a while.

haaa…..

lol… I will never trust a candidate who endorses discrimination or one who thinks he will win for endorsing Chuck Norris.

I thought for sure that regardless of who the Republicans nominate this time, they had to be better than GWB. Really, its not that difficult. Yet…somehow…they are jumping behind someone even more to the right in ideology. God help us if he wins, not sure if America can come back from 12 years of similar leadership.

For the people who think Huckabee is genuine, get real. He is great at misleading people. For example, by telling people that the national retail sales tax rate would be 23%, when in actuality it would be 30%

You tell 'em, Huck! Bush is a false Christian on his way out of office. Only Huckabee can bring us to a true theocracy!

who wants a theocracy?go live in a middle eastern country if you want it ruled by religion

Every decent Republican has abandoned the ship. Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove are to blame. The mess the Republican administration and former congress left is deplorable. Because of this, the candidates are all flawed. Nobody in their right mind wants the job cleaning up one of the most blundering administrations in history. It is too late to now come across as trying to differentiate from the NEOCON Bush/Rove machine. Every Republican candidate comes across as just continuing the poor decisions or inactions of the last 7 years.

"We should lead the world by example, not at the point of a gun."

Hmm, where have I heard that before? It was over six months ago, and the man saying it had been advocating that policy for decades. Oh, yeah, Ron Paul!

Who criticized our sending millions of dollars to support a dictatorship in Pakistan on promises it would become a democracy – promises now broken? Ron Paul.

Who pointed out that our enemy North Korea has nuclear weapons, there are nuclear weapons floating around former USSR states, and that a nuclear Iran is certainly not a top worry for U.S. security? Ron Paul.

I believe what Huckabee is saying here is very insightful. I trust Ron Paul who came to this view decades ago would be a better person to implement it.

I dont see where slaming the President gains him anything. Libs won't vote for him, an those that would, seem to still like the President. He is trying to mix religion an politics, if he is the Repub nominee, the Dems will win. But it has been interesting, we have a Woman, Morman, Preacher, Black, Actor, Crime Fighter, Ambulance chaser, an a host of some serious candidates, which have no chance an are seriously wasting money, but helping the economy. Good luck to all.

HUCKABEE THE SHAPE SHIFTER! WHAT TALENT.

FIRST HE'S FOR ILLEGALS, NOW HE'S AGAINST THEM.

HE HATES GAYS, NOW HE DOESN'T. HE'S MORE "INOFRMED" NOW.

HE WAS THE KEY NOTE SPEAKER AT AN ANTI-MORMON RALLY IN SALT LAKE CITY IN '98. NOW HE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH. JUST PUT ME OUT AND WAKE ME UP WHEN ITS OVER!

HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE AN OBVIOUS LIAR IN OFFICE! SO MUCH FOR HIS FAITH! IS THIS REALLY WHO THE EVANGELICALS WANT REPRESENTING THEM?

I an amused that it took 7 years for Huckabee to discover that the Bush Administration is a disaster.
If he is that unaware imagine how he would perform as president.

Huckabee is a Neo-con who SUPPORTS THE WAR just like Bush! When will people figure this out!????

This picture of Huck could very well be an prophetic image of court room battles,lawsuits and senate hearings in the future if he's elected. He's too clumsy to represent the republican party.

Ron Paul is far and away the best the republicans have.

Your "now" is different than mine … locking up people with aids, women graciously submitting to their husbands, 23% flat tax. You should check out his "gift registry" – you know the one he posted so people would know what to give as he left the governorship.

Of course, you have survived Rudy as mayor that could account for a lot.

Huckabee, you will be criticized by many for saying what you did – but I agree with you completely. The thing I don't know is why is he still in the White House. I suppose it's because we have a 'war' going on.

I know you are a force of healing just like Obama, except you are on opposite parties. I hope both of you get the nomination from the respective parties.

By using your words, you came from nowhere and launched into the top. Obama, despite his youth, he too launched into the top. And you know why, because both of you care, and we can feel that. Using words to turn things around is much better than military force. Good luck to both of you.

You tell 'em, Huck! Bush is a false Christian on his way out of office. Only Huckabee can bring us to a true theocracy!

This is scary. Huckabee sounds like a real mental lightweight. We have been there and done that. Our country is in a mess today because 58 million people feel more comfortabe with a guy who is as dumb as they are. You would think someone running for President would at least read the news everyday.

Huckabee is the only candidate that strikes me as anywhere near genuine. I am so tired of the over-handled, over-managed "personas" that present themselves as candidates! I don't WANT a president who checks the polls before he gives an opinion, I WANT a president whose informed opinions can lead us forward, and out of some of the messes we are in. Lead on, President Huckabee, lead on…

Clearly Huckabee understands the proper application of troop levels better than General Tommy Franks, and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And remind me again why this guy is running in the Republican primaries. He is a clone of Jimmy Carter. America, beware!

Since he is just like another Democrat, he will be squashed come general election by a comrade Democrat.

People, use your noggin sometimes. I am really getting sick of this guy.

I don't agree with Huck on this one but perhaps the media is just putting there spin on it. I'll still vote for Huck.

America wake up. If we don't understand why the whole world hates us and if we think GWB was our worst nightmare, we haven't learned anything if Huckabee is the best we've got. This man is a minister which is in total conflict with todays world issues. Let's not create terror on ourselves.

Just another attempt by Huckabee to immitate you-know-who. (starts with Ron and ends with Paul)

"Hello Kettle, this is Hillbilly Huckabee… And, you're black!!!" This guy kills me!

Surprisingly likeable, indeed Huckabee vs. Hillary would be a problem for the dems – not a guaranteed loss, but a problem. Huckabee vs. Obama – easy win for the democrats. Democrats need to think seriously about electability, and while I think Hillary could make a good president she is too divisive in all seriousness to win over enough votes. The republicans are shrewder than ever, using Bush as a the pure lone scapegoat while pretending they never supported any of his many failed policies.

Leo I hope I read your comment correctly when you posted that Huckabee is living in the now? Please tell me you're joking. This man couldn't be any further from the now.

At least he's not fighting over drugs.

This is very interesting. Suddenly, the new Republican frontrunner is attacking Bush as well. Is this what we will see in the general election? The Republican nominee AND the Democratic nominee attacking the President? That will be an intriguing thing to watch.

I was voting Democrat until I met Huckabee. He's the only candidate that is actually living in the now.

LOL, nothing like a Neocon trying to put on a Ron Paul suit.

Seriously, lets play a game of "How many Ron Paul ideas can I steal today and butcher into meaningless lip service"

Huckabee would be amiable enough until God told him to go on a Crusade or spread the word of capitalism to the unstable, oil-producing regions of the world. Then we'd start all over.

Luckily, he's completely unelectable. The man's simply not qualified for the White House.

He's just like Bush, who is he kidding, just go back and watch the past debates on youtube. Unreal how he is now trying to seperate from Bush. Typical politician trick. I'm going with Ron Paul he doesn't play games or distort things.
