Huckabee at CPAC

[dajoga]

I'm watching him on C-span now.

Anyone else watching? Too bad he got such a bad rap, I think he's more conservative than McC.

[PrezLeefun]

I am not watching him. I need a break from US politics.

[Timberwolf]

He's a snake in the grass, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, he got the bad rap because he did not change his stances until he came under fire. Had he entered the campaign having 'changed his mind' on taxes, immigration, etc. his adoption of clearly conservative and interesting positions might have deflected it.

I wanted to like the Huckster, but his evangelical liberalism/populism preceeded him - his record of many tax increases, his refusal to let Arkansas police help the INS, his desire for in-state tuition for illegals, his rhetoric caused a lot of conservatives to freak out ('Huckacide').

I have grown to like his puported views - rid us of the IRS, ship the illegals back, etc. And if I had trusted him, he might have gotten my vote. But McCain used him, and while conservative fire was on him McCain rose from the ashes.

My hope is that Huckabee sweeps up the remaining states - that alone will make a statement about McCain.

[Wyatt_Junker]

He is a well spoken idiot.

Strange theology too.

That the illegal problem was 'an opportunity' for us to heal 'what we did to the blacks' and 'slavery' and 'all that other mean stuff' we did a long time ago.

Yeah, sure. Alriiiighty then.

And I still can't understand the theology of aggresively pushing for the premature release of a convicted rapist who later went on to rape and murder again because why? He converted to his religion? Is that all somebody needs to do to absolve themself, attach themself to a politician's faith?

Huckabee's theology is not only flawed, its evil. I don't like the man because that's an act of definitional narcissism, along with horrible theology. If somebody converts to Christ after a crime, then the mark of such a conversion is genuine to the degree that the person willfully and eagerly embraces the state punishment for said crime. That Huckabee never got that, never understood that, means that he was either remarkably naive or a partner in evil inasmuch as he enjoys to wallow in his own Freudian super id.

And worse, then he went on to distance himself from it as if it never happened using the preacher's cloth as an invisible shield to hide behind.

The guy's a piece of work.

And, unlike Romney who exhibited a drop of humility by stepping down, Huckabee by contrast just keeps mainlining the mental crack of campaigning right into his bloodstream, combing more I-Can't-Believe-Its-Not-Butter into his hair than even Stone Phillips, whipping his ego up into a riot of inner divas, waving like a prom queen and making the GOP look gayer by the day, even as everyone knows how completely nonexistent his chances are, just waiting for that unhinged Howard Dean moment to unleash his pentocostal fury as his voice cracks from an adenoidal pinch point in the back of his throat to what Randy refers to as 'a lil' pitchy dog' and he gets all abolutely Swaggert'n crap on our ass.

It reminds me of the hand-wringing over Karla Fay Tucker. She was executed for MURDER, not impiety. Did Huckabee miss Bible class the day the crucifixion in the Gospel According to Saint Luke was on the syllabus?


<DT>"The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, 'Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.' Then he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' He replied to him, 'Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise'" (St. Luke 40-43).

Through the years I've worked with various prison ministries. My church established a halfway house for Christian parolees ten years ago, years before I moved to Ohio. Today, less than 5% of our guys fail, but for the first three years the recidivism rate among our parolees was nearly 50%. The first director of the house adopted an intensive mentoring program about three years in to address the problem. That helped, but we were still losing about 30% of our guys in the end, an unacceptable statistic.

It was one of our parolees -- a clear success from the beginning -- who solved the mystery.

"Your problem is that you're bringing too many guys into the house who don't fully comprehend the grace of God, let alone the extent of their guilt. I should be dead. I deserve to be dead. Stop trying to help everyone who professes Christ; help only those who know they're not worthy and believe that criminals deserve stiff sentences."

[DesertFox]

Neat. Nicely said.

[dajoga]

He's far and away better than McC!

[CzechPrince]

I'm watching him on C-span now.

I want a President of the United States, not Preacher of the United States.

Something about his teeth I don't like either.

[Riverboat]

Something about his teeth I don't like either.Are they worse than George Washington's?

And that, dear friend, is the reason why I've not actually posted what I think of McCain. Too many monitors fried...too many eyes blinded by what would be read.

McCain is the mother of all pusbuckets. He is the slimy filth one finds when scraping the bottom of the barrel. He is the festering boil on the backside of America and I'm wishin' SOMEone would give him a squeeze...anaconda style. Perot was a bastion of rational thought in comparison. PeeWee Herman is more morally sound. Ron Paul is a better choice for President. There is more truth in Satan's message than in McCain's...he is so morally, ethically, and socially corrupt he makes the Clinton's appear to be "not so bad".

Trust me...I'm holding back what I REALLY think of the man.

[Timberwolf]

So, NO, I will not vote for him.

Period.

[Air Force Guy]

Read Huckabee's issues platform (http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Issues.Home) and then make up your minds how much you dislike him.

[Suzie]

His name is a little odd too. Not that it matters as to what kind of person he is. But President Huckabee does sound strange.

[BuckeyeMike]

No stranger than say.....Baraaaaaaak Hussein Obama!!!!

[Suzie]

That one is MORE strange!! For sure.

[Air Force Guy]

"McCain" sounds like the first (Irish?) murderer found in the Bible.

[DeclinetoState]

McCain is his son!

FWIW, Hillary sounds like a strange name for a chief executive.

[Timberwolf]

Man, I sure wish he had behaved like that as governor of Arkansas...would have made supporting him a BREEZE.

I will vote for him should he be nominated...and Lord KNOWS I want to vote FOR a candidate, not against the "other guy".

Since it looks like Hussein is gonna be the demunist, I really think the Huckster could beat him.

[dajoga]

McCain is his son!

FWIW, Hillary sounds like a strange name for a chief executive.

Yeah, but remember, she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary after he conquered Mt. Everest! :rotflmbo::rotflmbo::rotflmbo::rotflmbo:

[Timberwolf]

LOL! :thumb: Good one!

Well and truly said, Wyatt. Insightful.

I don't care that Huckabee is a minister and a former president of the Baptist Convention.

He is a phony Christian. He uses Christianity; he doesn't live it. He talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

The same with his conservatism. Sounds good, but when you scratch the surface the words are to serve him, not the other way around.

McCain is the mother of all pusbuckets. He is the slimy filth one finds when scraping the bottom of the barrel...Perot was a bastion of rational thought in comparison...he is so morally, ethically, and socially corrupt he makes the Clinton's appear to be "not so bad".

Wolf, you are reading my mind.

Man, I sure wish [Huckabee] had behaved like [his issues statement] as governor of Arkansas...would have made supporting him a BREEZE.

Huckabee talks a good game. But the measure of the man is what he does, not what he promises to do. Huck's track record outs him.
