I have been trying to say that for some time that we need to be concentrating
on 2010. Obviously some people do not agree. I am pretty sure once the primary rolls around we will but heads once more. Until then, truce ?

It’s freaking 2010. There’s no point in arguing candidates ÅTM.

“Republicans are creatures of habit. We tend to like seeing the same batches of people in one primary after another, and eventually the stable, persistent men get their shot. ”

You’re joking, right? I, for one, am sick of “seeing the same batches of people in one primary after another.” Let’s rid ourselves of professional politicians and raise a generation of leaders who haven’t made careers out of running for office.

Mike Huckabee is a bald faced liar, he’s Huey P Long in a preachers costume. He’s never met a problem that more government couldn’t solve and never met a tax that isn’t worthy of being raised. He was governor of AR for ten years and left the Republican Party in worse shape than GWB left the national party in ’08. Mike Huckabee is nothing more than Barack Obama with a southern lilt.

Nothing, absolutely nothing would ever get me to vote for, send money to or in any support that sack of lizard dung for the Presidency. I would vote for John McCain before I voted for Mike Huckabee.

If he wants to run for Senate I’d send him $3. Mostly because I’d like to have a Republican Senator and the $3 is to signify that I think he’s as phony as a $3 bill.

I don’t drink. And when I did drink, I never got drunk enough to vote for Mike Huckabee.

You can take the above to indicate that I would most likely accept help from Lucifer to beat Democrats. Oh, but hey, that’s what I did say.

Like a lot of things about Newt. He’s the one potential candidate who jumps out at me as being of Presidential caliber and ready for the job. Haven’t really scrutinized him yet though. Romney’s the only likely candidate I really don’t like.

Huckabee was actually my VP preference – prior to the revelation of Sarah Palin (who I didn’t know much about until she was McCain’s pick) He seems a genuinely nice guy and a man of faith and conviction – but I don’t see him as ready for the Presidency. Palin either – but I do think she’s the more effective of the two and my opinion of her has steadily improved over time.

in any shape or form, that came as a surprise to me.

that we would like Hukabee to help conservatives and that will build his reputation with us. Voting for him in 2012 is completely different(he would have to get stronger on defense than he is now for a good chance to win).

that we even made headway on you says a lot. It used to be that you thought that the only good Huck is a dead Huck, as in retired completely from
public life.

Who knows, by 2012 you may actually vote for him, after drinking a ton of whiskey.

supports conservatives, directs money to their campaigns and helps us take back the House and make a dent in the Senate.

Hell will freeze over before I support him for President though.

I actually had him lower than McCain on my list, but I am all for him showing some conservative muscle and having an impact.

By: Richard Mullins

Richard Mullins — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:41:40 +0000

conservatives. 2012 is crap if we can get 2010 won. That’s only thing that can help him.

By: JSobieski

JSobieski — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:37:21 +0000

we should support that effort. No reason to read 2012 into everything when everything is NOT 2012. There is a country to save after all

I could really care less about your opinion on the subject. My immediate goal is the midterms, I will deal with the primary afterwards.

My point is that you need to quit hurling insults, and challenge based on facts. If you want to spend your time hurling insults, Daily Kos and Huffpo would be your joint. Here at Redstate, we engage in intelligent conversations. We make inteliigent arguments. If you don’t like what we do, you can always leave, we won’t miss you.

By the way, the quickest way to make enemies here is to insult a commentator personally. Please be respectful in your next posts, or you will find out in very short order just how much tolerance the moderators have.

Just a suggestion

when it comes to national candidates, I’ve vote Republican(or Libertarian when there is no choice) exclusively[the late Frank Tejeda was an exception]. I don’t like to vote in the Primaries and know why Huckabee lost, he’s against the core principals of the Republican party. If he will support some house candidates here Texas that need help(you know districts like TX-23 where money could make the difference), he could help build a better relationship.

Where I am politically? Well, lets see…The first vote I ever cast was for Ronald Reagan in 1980, I voted to re-elect him, I voted for George H.W. Bush twice, for Robert Dole and for George W. Bush twice. I held my nose and voted for John McCain this last election. I was a member of Young Americans for Freedom while in school and am now a member of The North Houston Tea Party Patriots. I have only voted for one Dem in my life and that vote went to Phil Gramm in 1980. As for Mike Huckabee…He’s a bigger flip flopper than John Kerry and his cheesy show has completely erased what little credibility he might have had. To your charge of my hurling insults at people (Huckabee) because I don’t like his personality….it seems this is a staple here at Redstate, especially toward those who might dissent from the opinion of the people who run this place. Sounds kinda like a mirror image of the KosKids. Oh, and if you need links to verify that Huckabee raised taxes dramatically while Governor of Arkansas and tried to use Romney’s religion as a wedge issue, which makes him a religious bigot, then maybe it’s you lacking the brain.
