Why do right-wingers dislike Huckabee

[gabosaurus]

With his religious convictions and values, you would think he would be an ideal candidate for conservative Republicans. What is the beef against him?

[MtnBiker]

Beef against him?

I haven't noticed that, what is he walking around with hamburger on his shoulders?

[gabosaurus]

Damn, walked right into that one. :lmao:

[manu1959]

he is a tax and spend christian.....same as bush.....

[5stringJeff]

Supposedly, Huckabee is a tax-and-spend social liberal who's soft on immigration.

[stephanie]

He IS a tax and spend liberal, extremely soft on illegal immigration, and only conservative on abortion..

Another thing I don't like about him...is I don't want a President who is going to go around preaching to me..

He also seems very shady to me...

I don't trust him.. I will not be voting for him..

I think most can/will say the same things about G and R as well except for the preaching. FWIIW I never noticed H preaching, but then, his ads are not running in Texas.

Shady.... Guiliani, I have major trust issues with him. I wonder if he's tied to the mob?

I'm not real big on G or R either..
I wanted to like McCain but he is a huge Rino..and in bed with the Kennedys..

My main choices were Trancredo, Hunter or Thompson..

Now that Trancredo is out...My ticket would be...Thompson/Hunter:cheers2:

But I will absolutly NOT vote for the Huckster.

Supposedly, Huckabee is a tax-and-spend social liberal who's soft on immigration.

Hucklebee commuted or pardoned 1,033 criminals, including 12 murderers and by the end of his 10-year tenure, Huckabee was responsible for a 37 percent hike in the sales tax in Arkansas. Spending increased by 65 percent — three times the rate of inflation.

Huckabee’s serial ethics violations and misuse of funds to maintain the governor’s mansion in Arkansas for restaurant meals, pantyhose, and dry cleaning bills recalls Bill and Hillary Clinton’s improper appropriation of White House furniture and chinaware for their Chappaqua, N.Y, home.

All this is according to www.newsmax.com

LIBERALS SING 'HUCKELUJAH'
December 26, 2007



All I want for Christmas is for Christians to listen to what Mike Huckabee says, rather than what the media say about him. The mainstream media keep flogging Huckabee for being a Christian, apparently unaware that this "God" fellow is testing through the roof in focus groups.

Huckabee is a "compassionate conservative" only in the sense that calling him a conservative is being compassionate.

He responded to my column last week -- pointing out that he is on record supporting the Supreme Court's sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision -- by saying that he was relying on the word of a caller to his radio show and didn't know the details of the case. Ironically, that's how most people feel about sodomy: They support it until they hear the details.

First, I'd pay a lot of money to hear how a court opinion finding that sodomy is a constitutional right could be made to sound reasonable. But the caller had the right response when Huckabee asked him, "What's your favorite radio station?" So he seemed like a reliable source.

Second, Huckabee's statement that he agreed with the court's sodomy ruling was made one week after the decision. According to Nexis, in that one week, the sodomy decision had been the cover story on every newspaper in the country, including The New York Times. It was the talk of all the Sunday news programs. It had been denounced by every conservative and Christian group in America -- as well as other random groups of sane individuals having no conservative inclinations whatsoever.

The highest court in the land had found sodomy was a constitutional right! That sort of thing tends to make news. (I was going to say the sodomy ruling got publicity up the wazoo, but this is, after all, Christmas week.)

So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus -- or all of the above.

Huckabee opposes school choice, earning him the coveted endorsement of the National Education Association of New Hampshire, which is like the sheriff being endorsed by the local whorehouse.

He is, however, in favor of school choice for kids in Mexico: They have the choice of going to school there or here. Huckabee promoted giving in-state tuition in Arkansas to illegal immigrants from Mexico -- but not to U.S. citizens from Ohio. "I don't believe you punish the children," he said, "for the crime and sins of the parents."

Since when is not offering someone lavish taxpayer-funded benefits a form of punishment? That's almost as crazy as a governor pardoning a known sex offender so he can go out and rape and kill.

Huckabee claims he's against punishing children for the crimes of their fathers in the case of illegal immigrants. But in the case of slavery, he believes the children of the children's children should be routinely punished for the crimes of their fathers.

Huckabee has said illegal immigration gives Americans a chance to make up for slavery. (I thought letting O.J. walk for murdering two people was payback for slavery.)

Just two years ago, Huckabee cheerfully announced to a meeting of the Hispanic advocacy group League of United Latin American Citizens that "Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority." Who's writing this guy's speeches -- Al Sharpton? (Actually, take out "Southern" and "white," and I agree with Huckabee's sentiment).

He said the transition from Arkansas' Southern traditions would "require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border." But, curiously, most of the efforts Huckabee described would come entirely from this side of the border. Arkansas, he pledged, would celebrate diversity "in culture, in language and in population." He said America would have to "accommodate" those who come here.

All that he expected from those south of the border was that they have a desire to provide better opportunities for their families. Basically, we have to keep accommodating everyone but U.S. citizens.

What gags me...is the educated liberals in this world...think that us conservatives Christians are just suppose to fall down and follow the sheep , as they do...
so because Mike Huckabee is a so called minister...we are just supposed to fall in line.....yuk yuk.cause we alls can't think fur oirselves...
