Huck, if the pay/play sponsors weren’t worth the fee, then CPAC shouldn’t waste their money.
While governor, didn’t you use the tax payer’s money to fund higher education for illegals?
Recently, you had Michelle Obama on your show. Of the many shows of yours I’ve watched, this wasn’t one of them. “You know”, she seemed to be unchallenged “you know” by your “you know” line of “you know” questioning.
Unlike the liberal racists, I won’t proclaim that everything Michelle Obama sh.!ts out as a response is “brilliant”!
Sour Grapes at 4%? You make the call.
Hasn’t this guy always been a bit of a RINO? I would never vote for him, something tells me the more I dig the more a would find a McCain wannabe. Is it ‘The Machine’? Or is it some people still don’t get it.
Ron Paul won the poll. Now if your a Dr. Paul supporter, fine! Good Job! If you don’t support Dr. Paul then quit crying, look at this as your best friend slapping you upside the head and saying WAKE UP!
none of the above.
That Jackass is one of those ‘Progressive Republicans’ like Megan McCain.
The only thing to watch huck for is the musicians he has on. He and his band are barely adequate though…the MO segment was blacked out on my set…my questions for her would have been: So Michele what’s the real reason that you dumped patients and let your law license lapse? What that to avoid censure by the Bar?
Huckabee is just mad that he was so far below on the list. I don’t think this poll is the best test but it does show where Conservatives are heading. The sad thing is how they run the poll. You can enter as many votes as you want at these booths. They don’t ask people to vote, its only if you stumble upon it or search it out. This is one reason they are saying Ron Paul got so high, because his supporters are very radical in their devotion and so would make sure they pushed his name.
Did you see the report from Politico, found on http://www.americanparchment.com/library/cpac_2010.html that Ron Paul was booed when his win of the straw poll was announced. Interesting.
If the Republicans were smart enough to make Huckabee their candidate, he would have beat Obama in 2008.
I voted for him in the primary (Independents can vote in either primary in my state) — even though McCain was already well on his way to become our (disastrous) alternative to Obama.
Huckabee is likeable, good at communicating, and conservative.
People who call him RINO misunderstand the essence of conservatism. Huck looks out for the little guy against the big guy.
Most of the time this means protecting individuals from the state. But in our corporate-driven world, where businesses can grow to the size of small governments themselves, sometimes the state needs to provide protections for the little guy here as well.
Eternal vigilance is needed, of course. Why? Because the government is ALWAYS coming in saying they’re doing things for our good and our protection. And really they’re just taking away liberty.
But there ARE times when government can protect against the abuses of the rich and powerful against the poor and middle class.
It’s not unlike the balance of powers originally envisioned by our framers.
Just like they wisely pitted executive, legislative, and judicial against each other, we need to have government and corporate American in constant tension, so that neither gains a major centralization of power.
I think Huck gets this. And he’s socially conservative too and can communicate well (a “must” in this vapid, sound bite culture…)

Wouldn’t have made much difference. CFR still calling the shots.
GO STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE YOU FAKE RINO
What was W.Virginia pay for play underhanded politics. J.D Hayworth for senate.
Huckabee is pro illegal immigration. He wants to give them tuition money for schools:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1930498/posts
And he is also for giving illegals amnesty:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/illegal-immigration/220146-mike-huckabee-amnesty-illegals-iowa-primary.html
Obviously he’s on the progressive side of the republican party and his recent comments reflect this viewpoint. He should stick with his FoxNews gig and he does play a mean bass. But he should leave the governing to those who understand the problems and are willing to solve them, not to compromise and give in to the progressives.
He’s an old-school republican – the kind we no longer want to have any power. He is of the party that helped get us into the situation we are in right now.
Have another Jellydonut,Gov!
It’s this simple. Huckabee will stand on whatever side of the fence he has to to get elected POTUS.
Soory Huck. We’re done with types like you.
So how many more criminals Huckabee released early have to come out and kill before this guy will finally go away
If this is the Republican’s best shot, it looks like Obama will have it again in 2012 – better get serious about the selections, listen to Beck!
Obama is getting $30,000 per plate dinners at just one event last week. Where’s the attention to that?
How is it not OK for Pay-for play for a start-up movement? $500 to attend a 3 day event is nothing. They have to get the $$ to survive and thrive and put on an event in a crucial election year. We need more Tea.
Huck is personable and puts a good face on the religious and social issues, but he’s too RINO. Fiscal issues are what’s important for the next 5 years and that’s not his forte.

The Huckster interviewed the first lady recently as well as this corrective instruction. Could it be the HUCKSTER IS POSITIONING HIMSELF AS THE CENTRIST REPUBLICAN ? — NOPE, SOUNDS LIKE HUCKSTERBEE IS POSITIONING HIMSELF TO BECOME A DEMOCRAT & WIN THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION IN 2012.
Huckabee is a Non-electable RINO!
The only thing Huck is gaining are those lbs.
Hucklebelly is too fat to be useful at anything. What was his draft status during the Vietnam conflict?
You know, Dumb Huck, it’s only a few steps across the aisle, RINO……then a few more steps off the cliff….just ask Arlen Specter.
I use to be a suporter for Huckabee , but the more I see and hear about him the more I dislike him ….. He does seem alot like a RHINO to me to now , he just did a better job of hiding it befor when he was running for prez.
And if you ask me his show has went down the tubs now even more so since hes kissing obama bunns!!!
ditto wanda
Mike, the days of milk toast Republicans are OVER. Our constitution, our very liberties are at stake and we will not compromise and we feel no obligation to play nice.
The war blood thirsty republicrats and demicans are quaking in their boots.
OH WOW – OLD STUPID HUCK -
I lost all faith in Huckabee when he refused to ‘man-up’ on his pardoning of that monster who went on to execute those four police officers. And his appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s show was totally self-serving and absolutely disgusting!
I emailed Huckabee and suggested he start a college fund for the children of those slain officers. I never even got a reply. As far as I’m concerned, he blew it. And it was his handling of the pardon issue after-the-fact that spoke more to me about what kind of ‘man’ he is than the pardon decision itself…which is saying a lot. I expect more.
You people still don’t get it. A far right conservative WILL NOT beat Obama in 2012 unless the economy completely tanks or some other disaster strikes the US. Even if we are attacked again, it is unlikely that he will lose to someone on the far right. People may not like “liberal” policies but they certainly do not like very conservative ones either. The best bet for the GOP is to find a right of center “Rhino” that moderates find attractive. Going for the whole thing is a guaranteed loser.
So ask yourself the following question: Would you rather have a so-called Rhino like Huck or Romney in the White House or another four year of Mr. Obama because realistically that is the only choice you have.
Wait a minute…. the Huckster thinks a liberal is going to pick him over Obama? Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

@ Guest February 22nd, 2010 – 10:36 am
Well said. To support Huckabee is to support spending your tax dollars to reward foreign invaders for coming here. He is not fit to hold public office.
@Airwick,
“Would you rather have a so-called Rhino like Huck or Romney in the White House or another four year of Mr. Obama because realistically that is the only choice you have.”
Depending on what one’s definition of a RINO is, I think I respectfully disagree. Was this not the strategy for 2008, which failed miserably for the GOP, resulting in Obama, a wholly unqualified and completely inexperienced candidate, winning handily? It hardly gets any more “RINO” that Senator McCain, in my estimation. And on the issue of experience there simply was no comparison between him and our current President.
So how would Huckabee or Romney accomplish what McCain could not? What assets do they possess that that McCain does not?
NOQTRS,
I submit to you that the reason that the election was as close is because McCain WAS a more moderate candidate. If someone like Cheney has won the GOP nomination, he would have been crushed. All things considered, I thought that John did a pretty good job…until he picked Palin as a running mate. If he had picked someone like Huckabee or Romney instead, he may have won. Palin was a plus initially but her continuous gaffes ruined the ticket’s chances ultimately. I always considered McCain as a potential one term (by his choice) president who would be a transitional figure and then pass the mantle to his vice president in the 2012 election. Palin simply wasn’t someone the majority of the country wanted anywhere near the White House.
Chuckles Huckabigot,
How pathetic…C-PAC liked the gays more than YOU.
This is why the GOP will lose again in 2012 because of the likes of people on this board spouting their hatred at someone who genuinely cares deeply about this country and its people. Mike Huckabee has more courage and spine than anyone today. RINO can be defined many different ways. Huckabee is a FairTax supporter, is solid on fiscal and security issues and knows how to communicate with others. He know how to win and influence. He knows how to reach across the isle without giving away his stand. It takes a MAN to reach out and have decent conversation with the opposition but a boy can just yell across the isle and look like a fool. Sounds like a lot of boys on this board. I will stand by Huckabee till…..till he proves me wrong. GO HUCK!!!
Good point, Airwick….NOT….Airwick? Maybe you’re tired of your own rhetorical flatulence.
Only a stupid lib would classify a person upholding the founding principles of this country as “far right”. You, on the “far left”, tyrant, fascist, socialist, statist, etc, are clearly an aberration and are in the process of being ERADICATED – preferably by vote, necessarily by force – by those of us on the “far right”……you know, Constitutional Americans.
Not “Huckabee” but “Hickabee”
Yeah, right, Buford, and who do you support for the 2012 ticket? I am in agreement with MDM. Huckabee would be a good choice. The rap he took on releasing that prisoner was a bum one. The problem wasn’t that he was released (this was a young offender who demonstrated that he could be rehabilitated); it was that he violated the terms of his release and the system failed to do anything about it in TWO states even after he committed subsequent crimes. How is this the “Hucksters” fault?
It seems to some people anyone to the left of the KKK is a “tyrant, fascist, socialist, statist, etc” and on the far left. There zre people in the middle, you know.
@Airwick
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You’re right about Cheney. He had become a rallying cry, (like Halliburton), to the left, mostly because of the handling of the Iraq War, and the absence of WMD’s. So, as solidly conservative as he is, he would have been a poor choice for McCain’s VP. I think McCain was on the right track with Governor Palin. It was an obvious attempt to pander to the conservatives, whom he never really had on board all along. She was a new face, on whom the War in Iraq, nor the economy could be directly blamed. But she was conservative, not moderate, on the issues. And that supports my point, and tends to disprove yours, IMO. I think my argument is supported by the fact that the Palin Effect, (which could also be reasonably called the “Conservative VP Effect” in this case), gave McCain the only lead over Obama he was to have in the last 3 months of the campaign. Of course, we know how it all unfolded – Palin turns out to be questionable as to her qualifications, and the MSM shouts every gaffe she makes from the rooftops. Combine this with the beginnings of the housing crisis, the MSM’s fanatical defense of Obama, hiding or distorting his radical philosophy, and the rest is history.
But, again, the only time in the last 3 months of the race that Obama trailed McCain in the polls, was when America believed that there was an attractive, young, assertive, intelligent CONSERVATIVE Republican candidate in the race, not a moderate. I think that if the GOP runs another moderate, Rockefeller type Republican, they will be repeating the mistake of 2008.
My $.02, respectfully submitted.
Huck is the worst kind of republican. Huck wears his religion on his shirt sleeve. A great speaker but a great double talking sob! I do not trust him. He is in my humble Christian opinon a PROGRESSIVE/LIBERAL/REPUBLICAN. He needs to be stopped just like most all the politians! We need new blood up there on the hill. I would do it but I would get hammered for filing for bancruptcy.
sHuckabee can stay where he’s at I don’t want him to run for SQUAT!! He blows chunks!!
Huck is the BEST kind of Republican. He only talks about his religion when asked or attacked by it. No double talk…what you see is what you get. He holds nothing back. A man who knows who he is and is not swayed by the next north wind blowing. Huckabee is the new blood we need on the Hill. He is not sold out to the Washington establishment which is why so many have angst against him. That is not his fault, but their problem. Sad thing is…people don’t know what Conservative means. Go Huck!!!
Name calling!! REALLY?? Guess that makes you feel like a real man there Waffen?
Let’s all keep this up and the GOP will be in the desert for decades….
NOQTR,
I still think that Mr. McCain is a true conservative. I know…he has embraced a number of “liberal” positions but, if you examine his record, I think that you will find that he did so out of a sense of pragmatism and compromise in an attempt to get things done. Quite frankly, right now we could use some of that philosophy on both sides of the aisle. As I mentioned on another site, his formation of the notorious “gang” that blocked Republicans from ramming Mr. Bush’s Supreme Court nominees through the Senate was a wise and thoughtful move even though it upset conservatives at the time. Now that the roles are reversed aren’t you happy that this precedent had not been made?
Ms. Palin may have been a true conservative but what we needed was a true, QUALIFIED conservative. I know that they are out there.
Airwick, MDM, MSLSD, ADHD, whatever troll name you’re giving yourself….why is it that only the Republicans need to moderate? Huh? Your party is just left of Marx’s port side gonad…..you nutjobs are the one’s who need to moderate. But feel free to keep your head stuck up your arse, cause come November, we’ll be scraping you and your ilk off the bottom of our shoes.
@ Airwick,
Thanks for the civil discussion. That explains why we see the election of 2008 so differently. We clearly disagree on the definition of a conservative. I can only say that if Senator McCain is a conservative, then I am not a conservative at all. I consider myself to be a conservative-leaning libertarian, or a libertarian-leaning conservative, depending on the issue. To some, the term “conservative” means the conservation of any of several religious values in our government and our society. For others, it means only being frugal with our tax dollars. For me, “conservative” refers to preservation of the Constitution. I believe that our Constitution, as amended, is the best way in existence for our country to govern itself.
As for ending the filibuster of judicial nominees, I’m afraid we don’t agree there either. I believe that we must defend the Constitution at all costs, and by any means necessary, including violence if necessary. That is the very reason for the existence of our Second Amendment. I agree that compromise is always desirable, so long as the Constitution is preserved in the end. However, the left had no interest in preserving the Constitution when they opposed Bush’s judicial nominees. In fact, they were opposing them specifically because they were “strict constructionists”, that, and because of the abortion issue. I believe that as long as the nominee is a strict Constitutionalist, and is otherwise fully qualified, then his/her confirmation cannot be questioned. Any delay whatsoever is a direct attack on our Constitution and our people, and should be squelched by any means necessary. Conversely, if the nominee is a proven enemy of the Constitution, then their appointment must be blocked by any and all means, legal, illegal, it matters not. It sounds extreme, of course, but it is only because I am not under the illusion that the political left is playing by the rules, or that they are governed by any moral code apart from the one defined by Saul Alinsky. My support of the Constitution is unwavering, and the rights therein are not to be bartered away in the name of “compromise”, “reaching across the aisle”, or “getting something, “ANYTHING”, done”. In my opinion, the time for playing nice has long since come and gone, and the time for restoring Constitutional order is at hand.
Respectfully Submitted.
