Huckabee is the next Clinton, Bill Clinton

Two-Buck Huck

The rap against Mike Huckabee, the Baptist preacher and ex-Arkansas governor now doing for the Republican Party establishment what three-alarm chili does for an afternoon nap, is that he’s too inexperienced to be president, too naïve — a rube straight out of Dogpatch.
Few of Huckabee’s critics have actually come out and said what many of them think. The language is coded, as it usually is with class and race in this country. The Wall Street Journal, the anti-tax jihadists at the Club For Growth, the National Review – these pillars of Old School Republicanism have signaled that Huckabee is Not One of Ours. But they’re careful to say it’s not about class, because, of course – it is!
Class war is forbidden in the Republican playbook. But Huckabee, despite an inept last week of campaigning, has forced the Republican party to face the Wal-Mart shoppers that they have long taken advantage of. He’s here. He’s Gomer. And he’s not going away.
Huckabee revels in the class war. He’s Two-Buck Huck, and darn proud of it. He likes nothing better than playing the Hick from Hope. He and his wife lived in a trailer for a while, he points out. His son killed a dog one summer, “a mangy dog” at that, as Huckabee explained to the befuddled national press corps. He said he used to eat squirrels, cooking them up in his popcorn popper. Ewwwwhhh!………

I love how so many people refer to other people as Christians or even themselves as a Christian when neither bother to actually follow Jesus…..Jesus said you must “walk” as he did if you want to be a follower….if you ain’t walking then you ain’t one.

Jesus didn’t bother getting wrapped up in politics. He did believe in giving to the poor, but he asks everybody to do it and not through government taxes.

Edwards is my candidate. It’s not that I don’t like Obama or Hillary. I just feel that, in the end, in the privacy of the voting booth, the many Americans who are closeted sexists or racists won’t vote for a black or a woman. Edwards, IMO, is the only Dem who could win against anybody the Repubs put up…except, possibly, Rudy. Rudy would be all right by me, but his star is apparently in a freefall.

I am so frustrated that these two lightly populated states have such power. One out of 10 people in this country lives in our state. We should have more clout! At least we moved the primary up.

I find Huckabee frightening. Possibly worse than Bush.

Wait, there’s a political thread here, and no one has mentioned Ron Paul yet?

I agree with the posted National Review article… Huckabee is a dream candidate for the Democrats. I heard a quote that one unaffiliated Republican stratagist suggested that nominating Huckabee would be like nominating Pat Robertson.

Still, it was bad for Romney to take 2nd in Iowa.
