Ex-Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee Makes Gains In Iowa, But His Candidacy Faces Major Obstacles

"I like Mike"

"Pass the buck to Huck"

[drivelphobe]

Huckabee is a breath of fresh air, with a presidential decorum. He talks the "straight talk" and seems to be right on target for the will of the majority of American citizens. So far, he has my vote.

The religious conservatives have shown they can place a man in the White House. But, unfortunately, that man is GW Bush, a corrupt, arrogant moron. Not good for the nation.

The moderates and indepedents that were critical to the GOPs success in 00 and 04 will NOT be there in 08. It''s that simple.

Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY anti-war and pro-liberty candidate running for president.

'' ... according to some proverbs, parrots born on earth have a limited chance of survival but a more limited chance of survival if born on mars, and the immortal parrot occupys 99 plus percent more space and time than all mortal parrots combined ... ''

'' ... according to some proverbs, the lioness likes to kill herself for a candy bar while her cubs try as they will to convince her otherwise ... still, her odds forever improve despite herself as most others clearly see the truth ... ''

'' ... if the end result of all this alleged survival is inevitably infinite survival, then what are the odds that such infinite survival was not already won infinitely long ago ... if someday i will say with certainty that i did come before eternity and if that day 99.infin9% will agree with me, but not because we know i am correct but because we know i am not ... because we take comfort in the inevitable infinite bliss that allows us to know no unwanted discomfort nor any unwanted lack of discomfort neither ...

The truth about the right wing religous nuts have never been spoken more clearly.

[mcvett]

All Huckabee has to say is:

"I''m just a man from a small town called Hope"

and based on previous years, liberals should swoon.

LOL

Oh yeah, that''s all we need, is a Bornagain Endtimer with his finger on the "nukular" button! "Oh Jesus, if I push this button, all the unbelievers will die in fire but your and your angels will come and take us true believers off to Heaven, won''t you?"

Not to mention that he''s a scientific illiterate, just the person we need to lead in the 21st century. Unfortunately for us, the Chinese are not burdened with Dark Ages preachmen like Huckie!

I wanted to get to know the candidates better so I ordered some books. If you read Huckabee''s ''Character IS the Issue'', you''ll see a lot less hypocracy as described in these posts and discover a man who treats people fairly and ethically. I''m leaning more and more to Huckabee, expecially as I learn more about the other candidates. No matter what your beliefts, I recommnend that you educate yourself with something more than what the media throws at us. Decide what issues are most important to you and find out how the candidates really feel and have really voted/acted regarding those most important issues. We don''t have to be Republican or Democrat to use our brain - vote for the individual who most reflects your values. Be a smart voter instead of a stupid party member. For many years I thought I was a certain party because of where I grew up, what little I knew about history, and because my parents were. When I started actually looking at my standards and what I believed to be truly most important, I discovered that most of the time I was actually a different party person. I say most of the time because I vote for the individual, not the party, althought the party can sometimes indicate where a candidate''s values lie.

Since its first meeting over 50 years ago, the Bilderberg Group, a secretive gathering of global power brokers, which includes Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, et.al., has inspired layer upon layer of ridicule. In recent times, the deeds laid at the group''s doorstep have included the creation of the European Union, the invasion of Iraq as well as the group''s current efforts to create a North American Union, which will erase U.S. borders and national sovereignty. All to service its most cherished goal: the creation of a world government. After it was reported that a well-received speech by Senator John Edwards at their meeting in Stresa, Italy, was one reason for his selection as John Kerry''s vice-presidential running mate in 2000, people began to ask, "Is the Bilderberg Group now molding the worldwide political scene?" Over 120 of the world''s most powerful monarchs, politicians and business leaders attend the annual, invitation-only gatherings to discuss global issues and to formulate their own policy objectives. The hotels involved are closed-off to other guests, and to reporters. Guards are placed around the perimeter. Attendees promise to keep quiet about what they hear and say. "They do not have to sign anything, but they understand that they do not talk," said Maja Banck-Polderman, the organization''s Secretary. Tony Gosling, a British reporter who has followed the group says, "I think that a forum where so many rich and powerful people meet should be open to public scrutiny."

Oh dear! What a pickle Carl "The Wedge" Rove has led the poor GOP into!

Having built the party base out of the religious right, they are in a real moral quandry...Do they nominate a "real Christian" (e.g. Huckabee), or do they accept a liberal moderate (Guiliani, Romney, Thompson).

What''s a bible-thumper to do?

[oscarez]

Huckabee is only starting to looks good because the rest of the Republican field is so bad. He is short on ethics and long on graft. He has never met a gift he did not like. This is a guy when ask how he was going to finance his campaign, said: %u201CI%u2019ve got a map of 7-Elevens, a bunch of blue steel revolvers, and some ski masks.%u201D We have one Republican nut in the White House, we sure don''t need another.

I spent so much time studying the Bible and I have yet to see where Jesus ever displayed the pent-up hate, intolerance, and bigotry that the Republican christian right does. Do I have the wrong Bible?

The Christian right believes that Jesus is a white guy wearing a suit who lives in the nice air conditioned church down the road.

If the real Jesus showed up at their front door, they''ll be the first to get law enforcement to arrest him and crucify him again.

Hucklebee might be a decent man, but another bible toting pol this country does not need. He at least shows more class than Romney - who as the self-professed pseudo-christian guy - when threatened immediately deploys immigration intolerance and bigotry to demean his opponent. I spent so much time studying the Bible and I have yet to see where Jesus ever displayed the pent-up hate, intolerance, and bigotry that the Republican christian right does.

Following the Reichstag Fire, a historically-proven act of False Flag Terrorism which Hitler''s own party staged to encite fear in the German population, Hitler promoted the Enabling Act, which is eerily similar, in many ways, to our own John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which gives the President the power to suspend Congress, The Constitution, and to impose Martial Law following any event he or she deems an "emergency." Here''s what Hitler told the German people:

"The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures...The number of cases in which an internal necessity exists for having recourse to such a Law is in itself a limited one."
- Adolf Hitler

Does that ring any bells? It should, folks. It''s nearly the same promise that George Bush made to us support of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, one of the many Orwellian Laws which Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain all voted in favor of in the Senate.

"Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
- James Madison

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and those who would exploit our fear for power and their own personal, selfish, cynical gain."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Right alongside the widely-held notion that man is somehow to blame for global warming and that we should therefore pay a global Carbon Tax administered by the U.N., when I think about the myth that is our the "Global War on Terrorism," the following two quotes come to mind:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda minister

"That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda''s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

I like Huck, he could turn out to be another Arkansas favorite of mine, Bill.

Now if only he''s not such a warmonger!!
