Comments on: Huckabee's Critics Growing Louder

Anti-Tax Group, Hispanic Activists Speaking Out Against Republican Hopeful

[colonieny]

I think we have just 4 excellent candidates.
The media seems to want to prop up this nice preaher man- who also hunts birds- Hucklebee, as he would certainly be an easy media target - as a GOMER PILE ? - with less experience in Washington. The media would rather have him run than any other Republican. He would be badly tarnished come Nov "vot''in day."
The Rockefeller Republicans would not back him, and that would be that !

ONLY 4 are qualified- in my mind-- to lead us --
Mitt would make a terrific President, as would Rudy. Both are smart, tough and will do the right things to keep the country safe and free. Mitt has written in Foreign Affairs that he would make us truly energy independent from For. Oil, and I believe him. Rudy would do the same I am sure, and use our power like Reagan to project goodness and toughness, but don''t cross us.
Biden is smart and is experienced as is Dodd. They would be tough too. The media should give them a more serious consideration.

It is too bad that we are not talking about the real issues.

Who would be worse than CARTER ?

( I hold that just as Clinton was our first "Black President" - because of his tempterment and atittutes, so too Carter -- without doubt-- was our first FEMALE PRESIDENT ! His emotions based foreign policy is very much the genesis of our problems today. )

Having said that, who would be worse than "her" - naturally- EDWARDS. His idea of "if only the world like us.." they would not attack us... is so...so... well illogical that it makes me wonder if all Presidential candidates need a chromosomal test to sort out the true XY from the XXs.

Who is Mitch?

Anyway, who could be a worse leader than Carter was in time of crisis?

[colonieny]

In these serious times of WAR with ISLAMIC FASCISM, WE NEED serious leaders, like RUDY OR MITCH, OR DODD OR BIDEN TO LEAD, AND PROTECT US.
I get the feeling that the big media has built this guy up as a very easy target come November to defeat. Is that good for the country ?

I came across this article from 1975 on a conservative Governor that was bucking the establishment leadership and pudits. This is from the Nashua, New Hampshire Telegraph. The attacks against Huckabee have been almost word for word. I guess if Reagan is the "tax and spender" then I would rather have them then the other "true conservatives" like the others in this race.

Our Opinion
Nashua Telegraph 11/25/1975

...While Ronald Reagan was governor of California the state budget soared from $4.6 billion to $10.2 billion %u2014 a more than 100 per cent increase.

While Ronald Reagan was governor of California the state sales tax was increased from 4 per cent to 6 per cent, the corporate income tax was increased from 5.5 per cent to 9 per cent, and the top personal income tax was increased from 7 per cent to 11 per cent.

While Ronald Reagan was governor of California the number of state employees increased by 5.7 per cent. This is the mart who promises to cut armies of employees off the federal payroll, who promises to balance the budget, who promises to begin paying off the national debt and who, to top his program of conservative delights, promises to cut taxes to boot.

Some people may be charmed by Ronald Reagan''s pitch; some people may even be persuaded, but the difference between promises and performance, between the Reagan rhetoric and the Reagan record is a difference that should be made plain to the voters of New Hampshire and the rest of the nation.

Huckabee is still a huckster. He is a closest liberal and a Christian apostate. Ron Paul is the only sane choice for president.

Just a question, but have your taxes gone DOWN any these last 7 years while the republicans have owned our government?

You know, I''m just hornswaggled, but in my adult life, I can count on one hand the times that I''ve even gotten a small refund, and I don''t EVER remember a tax of mine being CUT! It has not mattered on whit whether it was a democrat or a republican administration in power...my taxes have ALWAYS gone UP!

This fascination that the republicans do not raise taxes is a total farce. Now, I will admit that they''ve re-arranged the tax base to benefit the rich, yes. They''ve done a tremendously bang up job for them. But for people whose WORKING earnings are less than $200,000 the republicans have been a total write off for NOT raising taxes. It''s a myth that I''ve always considered to be HOGWARSH!

[denn034]

Tax Hike Mike should be opposed. Don''t get me wrong, I like his strong conservative values but, any Republican that raises taxes doesn''t deserve to call themselves Republicans.

Thank you for your response and please accept my apology. Although I did confirm that this man is not necessairly a democrat I don''''t think that the Clinton campaign is behind this. But, that doesn''''t mean that I am positive. Politics is such a dirty business. Glad I''''m a retired teacher.

What a refreshing post. Someone who actually did some research and came back to admit wrong! You have earned a star!!!

But don''t feel too bad. There are millions out there who do not know how the Clintons do business and how dirty their politics really are, and have been for decades!!! Those who claim to adore her do not know her style of leadership. She''s a dirty one.

"During the past three weeks, the group has spent $550,000 to criticize Huckabee''s economic policies."

Does anyone else see the humor in this?
