Huck: Better to be right and not win

Arlen Williams, West Baraboo, WI — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:18:04 GMT

Mike Huckabee represents the successful future of the Republican Party -- and of the United States of America.

Maybe, the very near future.

Personally, I like the fact that he is gutting it out. I remember thinking Edwards was going to do the same, strongly avowing numerous times he was staying in "all the way to the convention". Then he abruptly quit. (How come Democrats aren't ever called to account for their "lies" when the situation changes?) Ironically, he could have had an important, decisive role in the nomination if he had stayed in.

I'm not sure that will happen with Huckabee, but at least he is keeping his word. Coming from a state like Ohio that is always late in the primary process, it's nice to still have some semblance of a choice. Plus, Huckabee has NEVER been given a chance all along, and he is still standing. Who knows what can happen in the next few months?

Thanks for the article!

Governor Huckabee is the only choice now for conservative voters, and he has over 10 years executive government expereince and a proven track record of integrity & winesome sincere service. He is THE ONLY candidate to sign a NO AMNESTY PLEDGE regarding illegal aliens in our country ... what in the world has McCain done?? Heck, McCain wants to protect suspected terrorist combatants under our judical legal system AS IF they were citizens of our nation! McCain has obfuscated and opposed appointment of conservative Constitutional judges...

How in the US of A is Senator McCain right for the Republican Party nominee?... The Republican talking Heads like Limbaugh treat Huckabee as if he were a liberal leper, when IT IS CLEAR that Huckabee is a solid conservative. Rush wants you to twiddle your thumbs for the Democrats and acknowledge that "See he told you so"... Well, not me.

A Vote for Huckabee is a Vote for Huckabee!
This is still a 2 Man race!
Vote for Huck, not a schmuck!

If the Republican establishment can't see they have their candidate in this guy, they don't deserve to win in November. I watched the CPAC speech this morning on MSNBC. This guy definitely has my vote. McCain (McBland) doesn't stand a chance against Hillary or Obama. After watching this speech in VA, I have to say - he might actually win against the Democrats .... if given a chance. Get out and vote, Republican conservatives. We still have a chance to back a true conservative. Let's take McCain down!

Granted, these are not Hucklebee's words (spelling intentional), but those of his co-author George Grant, published 10 years prior to their partnership on a book. How anyone can suggest this does not reflect the views of Hucklebee himself, however, is beyond me:
Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ -- to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.
But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice.
It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.
It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.
It is dominion we are after.
World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less...
Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land -- of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ.

Selecting Huckabee would be a dream for the Democrats. Even Hillary could beat him. He appeals only to the far right -- about 15% of the population. He would be creamed in every purple state.

McCain will beat Hillary b/c she can't win over independents but those independents and even a lot of Republicans who believe in evolution and that the Constitution shouldn't be amended to include "honor thy father and mother" would vote for Hillary in the fall over the Huckster.

Huckabee is unelectable. The opposition would show that speech again and again in which he says he wants to amend the Constitution to Biblical Priciple, whatever that is. I would never vote for such a candidate, and the people who would are in a clear minority cause they do not understand what the Founding Fathers intended.

Geez, I think we need one o' THESE kind of 'faith-in-the-only-RIGHT-God' guys running a nation as powerfull as this one, don't you?

Granny T, South Beloit, IL — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:56:09 GMT

Huckabee's speech this morning was awesome. I also read his speech from last year. No wonder he has such a huge grassroots support. If we can get him elected as President; we certainly won't have any boring Presidential speeches.

“My wife's maiden name is McCain,” he said. “Almost 34 years ago, the Huckabee McCain ticket became one -- the Huckabee ticket.” Hopefully America will be able to have a Huckabee ticket. Mike is the only consistent conservative candidate still in the race. Miracles do happen. Voters can help them to happen. America does have a choice. Imagine what he could have accomplished if he would have had the financial support the other candidates have had. His support is coming in now. Visit mikehuckabee.com to see where he stands on the issues. For those of you that haven't had your primary or caucus yet; get out and voice your opinion by voting. Mike Huckabee says the people are the ruling class and the politicians are the serving class. Vote for Mike Huckabee so "We the people" can take America back from the Washington elite.

The media has been wrong up until now. They don't have the faith that we have. They must not believe that God can move mountains. We should all pray for Huckabee, but most of all, we should pray for God's will. Go Huckabee.

RE: Dean Spooner, Henderson, KY

While you are undoubtedly correct that Rush Limbaugh is a talking head and that he and the other talking heads of his ilk treat Governor Mike Huckabee as a liberal leper (nice alliterative analogy, by the way), Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity (just to name a few) have in no way been in favor of Senator John McCain either. By the tenor of your comment, I can only surmise that you are trying to leave the implication that Sentator John McCain is the preferred choice of the aforementioned talking heads. While they may ultimately come to voice their support Senator John McCain publicly, the established record is clear that they do not really support him.

Such integrity Huck has! Whether he wins or loses this race, he'll still come out on top with the respect he deserves for being genuine and unwavering, I think, from Democrats and Republicans alike.

M Mahoney, Florida — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:07:28 GMT

We've never been so excited about a candidate as Mike Huckabee. His background proves he is one of us not politics as usual. He is capable, as he has shown in Arkansas all the times he was up against the Clinton machine. He's smart, tough, and very presidential. That's right..that's my president!

ginger salida colorado — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:08:24 GMT

I cannot believe Huckabee is still in the race. It seems nimrods in the USA are very confused about what makes a good leader! We are sick of televangelist politicians. If we wanted a televangelist president to continue all Bush wars for us we would choose Robertson.
Besides, LMFAO!!! If you dyed his hair black he would be Jim Nabors TWIN! SHAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAMMM Sgt Carter!

The people of Arkansas also want their fellow Americans to know what Huck did...and lies about.
He went personally (lies about it) to the parole board in his state to have a convicted rapist set free. (this man had raped a distant clinton relative I guess his hatred of clintons got the best of him) and the man killed more women.
thanks Huckabee the families of the dead thank you

The closest thing to a conservative is and has been Dr Ron Paul. Though he espouses libertarian views more often than not, he is the sole voice in the conservative wilderness. Too bad not enough folks listened.

If the so called conservatives have the genuine interest of us of a at hearts to govern and bring prosperity to this great nation, then why are they pussy-footing about HUCK for?

I have heard the likelihood of them forgoing the election for the Democrats to come back 4years later. How can they be so sure of this when they are not sure of what will tomorrow?

HUCK has a proven record of a successful governorship session just like Clinton. He's God fearing and from the look of things will surrender the future of USA for any other which is very evident in his campaign to date.

You sure need such resilient 'HUCK' who in the face of scarce resources is proving his worth.

The count was complete in Topeka, KS before I left and announced. I am pleased to say that Mike Huckabee was strongly supported, gathering votes at the rate of better than three to one over John McCain. Whoever is left standing on the Republican ticket, will be supported, I personally am praying for Mike all the way.

I must say at this juncture that I seem to agree with McCain's proposed foreign policy. I don't think HUCK will do badly either in securing the interest of USA.

How quickly we forget Huck's horrid grasp of foreign relations. He would be a DISASTER representing the nation to the world.

And this is the guy you want leading the nation? The guy that worked next to you? The guy that worked next to me was an idiot. There's a reason why he wasn't in management. Let's not promote mediocrity under the guise of godliness.

Huckabee has a far better chance in the general election than McCain. He gave an excellent speech this morning. He is the man to beat Hilary or Obama.

roger,kentucky — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:05:20 GMT

Huckabee is being pushed by the press, because they like division, better news, he doesnt stand a chance in primaries or general. he is in it for huckabee alone, not the republician party. and if romney ment what he said, then he should throw his delegates to McCain and end this farce. majority rules, or at least should.And if the republician party is to remain whole then the conseratives should respect majority rules enough to support the rest of us opinion as we have theirs in the past its our party tooand what goes around comes around, if you ever wan the MAJORITY of the republician parties support ever again. we not far right count too.

Solid Conservative, Fort Worth, TX — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:52:48 GMT

McCain will be known as the candidate who lost to political lightweights like Obama and a former president's wife. What a legacy for McCain to leave! That's why Huckabee can and will unseat McCain by the time the convention rolls around. Romney's delegates will not be dispersed until then and there is a strong chance that some of McCain's delegates will dump him.
