Huckabee Says President Should Have Sense of Humor
(CBS)
SPRINGFIELD, MO. -- Mike Huckabee joked Mitt Romney didn't hit "political puberty" until he was 60. Romney heard that and said Huckabee is always "good for a good chuckle" but "the presidency’s more serious than that comment suggests."
Huckabee's response to reporters: "[Romney] would have never have liked Ronald Reagan 'cause Ronald Reagan had a great sense of humor and he used it to bring a sense of levity to the seriousness of the job."
"And that's another reason why Mike Huckabee ought to be the nominee. Because if people are looking for somebody in the mold of a true leader, they want somebody who takes God seriously but doesn't take themselves so seriously. That's what a sense of humor does. And maybe that's an affirmation: Mitt Romney said a few years ago that he wasn't part of that Reagan-Bush thing. I guess that means he didn't care a whole lot about Ronald Reagan's humor or his policies, either one."
Remember Bush. Oh, wait? According to the polls he couldn''t have possibly won the second time. HAHA. He won more resoundingly than the first time. Even today, the poll says that 40 percent of America still agrees with him. Hmm...Something fishy going on..
GO HUCK!
Whether he/she takes God seriously or not does not affect me one whit.
My battalion C.O. used to call us his "tigers" Coming from a Marine Corps Colonel, that was an honor. He used to joke with us and always smile and tell us we were doing a perfect job. And that he appreciated us.
Because of him, we had the best battalion in the entire 1st Marine Division. He inspired us to work better, and fight harder.
I have also had those leaders that were cocky, unappreciative, and demeaning. We were always miserable. We always wanted to quit.
Mike Huckabee is authentic and genuine. Mike will be one of the best Presidents in American history.
I just gave another 100 bucks, I challenge everyone to give anything they can afford. This is a battle that belongs to all of us.
One a Huckabee supporter, always a Huckabee supporter!

WE ARE VOTING MIKE HUCKABEE!!!
Mike Huckabee has the momentum--and just in time for Tsunami Tuesday.
"Give Hope Another Chance"
www.mike-huckabee.blogspot.com
Just go to his Web site and look where he stands on the ISSUES. His record is solid. His principles are solid. He is intelligent, articulate, and an authenticate conservative.
He cares deeply about the Constitution, our Nation, and God. So do I. I''m voting for Mike Huckabee!
When a candidate comes along who can present his or her position with clarity and articulation, and, then lace the presentation with humorous quips and anecdotes, defensive walls are broken down and we, the listeners and viewers, are more receptive to that candidate''s message.
Ronald Reagan had that gift of relating to folks from all socio-economic walks of life and he presented himself as someone who came from us rather than to us. This is Mike Huckabee''s message, not only to Republicans, but also to the indpendents. Yes, he wants to unite us, not divide us and he will reach out to the Democrats, but he will never compromise his moral values and principles.
America desperately needs a man of Mike Huckabee''s character and communication skills in Washington, D.C., more now than ever before.
Mike Huckabee was voted one of the 5 best governors in America and is beloved by the people of his state. He has great ideas about what America needs, starting with the replacement of the Internal Revenue Service with a consumption tax.
He is in the same position Abe Lincoln was during the election of 1860. America was in trouble, and nobody thought he could win because he was not favored by the establishment. This time the problem is not the south, however, it is that power and wealth are too concentrated in the hands of the few. Huckabee comes from the people and identifies with them, just as Lincoln did. I believe that he can have the same historic effect on this country if the people will rise up and help him.
Please visit his website at MikeHuckabee.com and then join in restoring the greatness of the United States of America, the ideals on which it was founded.
"People who take God seriously cannot take the Constitution seriously. They believe the Bible when it says a man cannot have two masters.Huckabee would vote his religion over our laws EVERYTIME!"
Nancy, with all due respect, our constitution and our laws are based on the Bible and Judeo Christian values. The fact that a President is a true Christian like Mike Huckabee means he has a real moral compass and convictions. This is why Reagan was a good President and why Abraham Lincoln was a good President. We have to have a moral man of conviction in the presidency or we are in big trouble.
Let me ask you this? Would you rather have a man in office who is humble, believes in God and has high standards or a man like Mitt Romney whose Mormon religion teaches that he himself is becoming a god. Mitt Romney took an oath as a Mormon to uphold Mormon beliefs over anything else--his allegiance is to the Mormon church over the constitution. If you don''t believe me, look it up.
No wonder he has no convictions, he believes that lying to become President is ok, deception is ok. He is exactly what is wrong with our country---people who believe the ends always justify the means.
This quality in a potential President is very frightening to me.
He is the only person running who can lift this country up. When he was Governor of Arkansas his state took in many Hurricane Katrina victims and he made sure they were all treated with dignity and respect. He told the volunteers to make sure they didn''t get caught up in paperwork...that it was important to treat each person as a human being of value.
Contrast the above with this video of Mitt Romney talking to a man in a wheelchair with Muscular Dystrophy. He asks Romney about medical marijuana. Romney is so cold to this poor man---he completely discounts him.

Mitt Romney makes my blood turn cold. There is something so sinister and wicked about him. If, God forbid he is the nominee, I will not vote for him no matter what.

- Huckabee shows a lack of class by constantly attacking Romney in jr. high tones. Also, if he was really in this to win, he''d be going after McCain, the front runner. He''s in this to take Romney down for McCain and it is a disgrace. He''d do values voters a favor by bowing out and endorsing Romney.
