Why won't this guy go away?

Apparently, God doesn't do the smite thing anymore.

Huckabee:
I don't take issue with what they ["feux-cons"] believe, but the smugness with which they believe it.

Faux-Cons aren't interested in spirited or thoughtful debate, because such an endeavor requires accountability for the logical conclusion of their argument.

Every time Huckabee was challenged on his record, he ran from it or lied about it. If anyone is scared of debate, it is Mike Huckabee.

I would also add that his comment is a lie, because he does very much take issue with it. He has said so in the past.

I'm very fearful that the same folks that ran in this election are going to run again with the same tired message. All Huckabee did in this election was mess with the conservative vote that should have gone to Romney or Thompson. He raised taxes more than Bill Clinton as governor of Arkansas. He's a pretty funny guy, but that's about all he's got.

I'd be careful telling God he doesn't to the smite thing anymore. Just take a look at our nation.

Guess its a good time to plug this...

Make sure to buy your F*** the H*** clothing here.

Mike Huckabee: a Bible-thumping Bill Clinton.

F&#K HUCK!

Huck?No!

I want a shirt, a bumper sticker, and a hat.

Why don't you ignorant people read the book before you criticize what's in it? Two pages out of 240 pages mention other people, the rest is devoted to the future of the Republican Party.

I like Huck...he opposed the bailout...and wasn't afraid to say it even when Bush and the GOP leadership were backing it.

That is more than can be said about McCain or Romney who thought the failed bailout was dandy. I wonder who is really economically conservative?

Surely, you aren't suggesting that the Hucktard is somehow an economic conservative because he opposed the bailout. Dennis Kucinich opposed the bailout out too.

I don't really care about McCain. I've been critical of Romney for his healthcare abortion in Massachusetts.

But Huckabee has no real grasp on economics. He opposes free trade, supports higher taxes and is a big spender. He has a record to back it up.

Why don't you ignorant people read the book before you criticize what's in it?

The main reason is because I'm not wasting my hard earned money on trash.

"The main reason is because I'm not wasting my hard earned money on trash."

Or putting it in Huck's pocket.

"Reading through other comments he supposedly makes in the book, he just sounds like a bitter guy..."

Why don't you and others stop drinking the kool-aid that others poor for you and actually read the book for yourself? Anyone can take small comments from an entire book and make them sound totally different. It is called context. You might try using some.

"But Huckabee has no real grasp on economics. He opposes free trade, supports higher taxes and is a big spender."

That is a lie. Read the book and his actual record, not the Club for Growth's propaganda. If you do not want to contribute to Mike, that is fine, go to the library or Barnes and Noble to read it.

You might also check into the contributors of Club for Growth so you know the whole picture as several are also Romney supporters as well as Arkansas people with an axe to grind.

The Club for Growth didn't support any particular candidate in the GOP primary. They're published white papers that were equally critical of all perspective nominees, including Mitt Romney.

That is a lie. Read the book and his actual record, not the Club for Growth's propaganda.

He did support increased taxes as Governor of Arkansas. That has been independently verified and Arkansas taxpayers saw a net tax increase of more than $500 million during his tenure.

He was constantly talking about "fair trade" instead of free trade. He based his support of farm subsides on national security.

The man is no fiscal conservative and anyone who says otherwise is a damn liar, including yourself.

If anyone is drinking the Kool-Aid, it's you.

I'm not sure why CFG is against Huckabee so much. He cut taxes 94 times as governor of Arkansas and left the state with a $850 million surplus. Also, he is one of the few Republicans to take a stand against the federal bailout. Plus, you can't be a social conservative without also being a fiscal conservative. A breakdown of the social issues is directly related to the size and cost of government. CFG are liars.

He did cut taxes 93 times, but he also increased taxes 21 times, leaving taxpayers with a net tax increase of over $500 million. Why is that so hard to understand?

You people have to do better than this.

Jason, If you don't like someone just say it, anyone who reads this can clearly see this is more about you not liking Huckabee. You quick to re-comment as soon as someone posts a positive comment about him.
Tax Hike Mike??? Dude, Come on man.

What is your point? Of course I don't like him, I don't hate the man, but I think he represents what is wrong with the GOP.

But why don't I like him? The man plays off the ignorance of people like yourself and constantly lies about his record and he gets a pass. Why? Because he is a funny guy? Because is religious?

You're going to have to do better than that.

Thanks, My point was just made!

You don't really have a point. I don't like the guy, but it's cool. Tax Hike Mike apparently doesn't like a lot of people too. Should we discount everything he says now?

Jason, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, we on the same team, just want you to give his supporters the benefit of the doubt, they know his record because the Club made sure of it, his supporters or not dumb and they know who they want and what he stands for. You know a lot did not like Reagan at first ether , I'm glad no one listen to them, aren't you? Peace out V!

Uhhh, yeah you are.

They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt because if they had looked at his record, they could not possibly make the claim that Tax Hike Mike is a fiscal conservative.

"Why won't this guy go away?"

Because Gov. Huckabee is our voice and "we the people" won't let him go away. It must be pretty scary for you in the Libertarian part of the party to see Huckabee getting his message to even more of us Main Street/Sam's Club, Reagan/Huckabee Republicans - many of which still cling to religion and guns.

"He did cut taxes 93 times, but he also increased taxes 21 times, leaving taxpayers with a net tax increase of over $500 million. Why is that so hard to understand?"

How do you explain the Tax Freedom Day staying virtually the same in Arkansas after Huckabee serving 10 1/2 years in office? Especially since they figure the Tax Freedom Day to include ALL taxes - federal, state, and local.

Hucakbee took office in July of 1996 and left office in January 1997. Check it out for yourself.

And while you're there be sure and see how the Tax Freedom Day didn't come until about 6 days later under the Romney administration is spite of the fact that he only served 4 years and things in the state didn't improve very much for the extra money.

Why do supporters of the Huckster believe anyone who disagrees with him is a support of Mitt Romney? I didn’t support Romney. I supported Ron Paul, even then only half-heartedly because Dr. Paul was a terrible campaigner.

Using Tax Freedom Day as a guide to the tax burden is misguided. The Tax Foundation has much better statistics to use. Such as the actual statistics dealing with the tax burden that show that Arkansas jumped 13th in the nation in tax burden on its citizens. It was ranked 30th in the nation when Tax Hike Mike came into office.

As far as tax burden goes, the Huckster looks terrible when compared to Bill Clinton. See the data for yourself, which by the way, excludes federal taxes.

How do you explain the Tax Freedom Day staying virtually the same in Arkansas after Huckabee serving 10 1/2 years in office? Especially since they figure the Tax Freedom Day to include ALL taxes - federal, state, and local.

Isn't the fiscal conservative view to see that date come earlier in the year?

Looking at the dates actually confirms a lot of what I've been saying. In 2000, Tax Freedom Day came on April 25th, the latest date for the state on record. It comes down a couple years later and goes back up.

You're actually digging yourself a hole there instead of making an argument for the Hucktard.
