I’m with you Mike. Has this guy thought about where we would have put 500,000 soldiers while waiting for the UN to do its job. Remember our guys were in theater awaiting the UN judgment…putting pressure on Saddam. The good general was consulted and found wanting. Get over it. Nothing was going to work until the Iraqi’s stood up and now they have. Remember when we first got there every one sat around drinking coffee thinking that the US could twink its nose and all would be well.
I think President Bush is one of the most honorable and bravest presidents we have ever had. All this stuff the Dems have thrown his way is pure crap…..starting with the 16 words, FISA, NSA, waterboarding, judges and the men they have besmirched, Gonzalles, Rummy, I find a sick Clinton behind each and every one.
Thanks Kathie. You covered the whole territory in that last paragraph.
Were you as offended by Huck’s comments as I was? This was a written article. Surely, he must have thought through how GOP voters would feel to have their President attacked in this way.
I didn’t much like Huckabee…….a minister for President? I think of ministers as being fundamentally socialists. But after his attack on Bush, FORGET IT. He has no idea how complicated the world is, well he probably reads the NYT. Give me a break, he didn’t even know NIE was public. Yes he has a good turn of phrase…..good for the pulpit, but thats all. I would not be happy to vote for any one who trashes the President, that includes McCain.
The only team I see is Thompson/Hunter, two conservatives. We can’t settle for some one that can beat the hilldabeast, we must preserve the conservative movement, to do that you need conservatives both fiscal and moral.
I think you just summed up reality in one sentence:
We can’t settle for some one that can beat the hilldabeast, we must preserve the conservative movement, to do that you need conservatives both fiscal and moral.
Finding a team to preserve the conservative movement first. Once that is done, beating anyone the National Socialist Democratic Party fields will follow.
I thought the Republican Party was a big tent, seeking to attract people with diverse viewpoints. As a conservative Christian voter, I can say that me and millions of others are proud to be Republican. And my vote is for Huckabee.
Can anyone really say that Bush’s policies haven’t been somewhat foolhardy? We didn’t even make progress in Iraq until he was forced to shake up the Pentagon.
I like Huckabee. He shares my values and he’ll certainly do a better job than Bush.
Katie: You say Bush’s policies have been somewhat “foohardy.” Is that a quality that attracts you in a leader?
If so, then by all means vote for Huckabee.
Anyone who thinks that undermining our ally Pakistan while coddling our long-term enemy in Iran is a good idea should vote for Huckabee… Or Obama, which is where the original idea came from.
And please don’t cast this as a values vote on conservative Christian principles. I hardly think a man who pardons criminals who then kill again is a fit standard bearer for Christian conservatives.
Can anyone really say that Bush’s policies haven’t been somewhat foolhardy?
Some of them I have not agreed with but I do not care who you put into the White House, it could be the next coming of Reagan and some of their policies you will not agree with. There is no such thing as the perfect President. There is no such thing as the perfect human being so to expect that from a President is in itself foolhardy.
We didn’t even make progress in Iraq until he was forced to shake up the Pentagon.
Puhlease. Forced? Who forced him exactly?
He did as a good leader should, he adapted. He picked men who were not up to the task or whose ideas would not work on the battlefield so he changed it up one more time and got Petreaus. As Lincoln found his Grant so too did Bush find the man who could turn the war around.
For what we have accomplished in Iraq, with the amount of casualties suffered, the result has been amazing. Never before has a nation accomplished so much with so little loss of life. For that I’m proud of our military, and our President. Belittling him doesn’t help your Huck cause one bit.
Huck would be a complete and utter disaster if nominated. Imagine the bloodletting over a man who wants women to submit to their husbands, and believes being gay is like theft or murder. A man who raised taxes more then Bill Clinton and was quite soft on illegal immigration. He has flip and flopped like a fish and would get utterly killed in the general.
You vote on one issue if you must, that being religion, but I am not nor will I ever be a one issue voter.
Huck is a cretin. His foreign policy “ideas” are similar to random ravings from Obama. Do you trust a guy who until recently had no idea what the problem with Cuba was to formulate Mideast policy? His stance on illegal immigration changed completely and without a warning in the last couple of weeks. So people want to vote for him because he shares their “values”? His values and knowledge of the Bible obviously have not stopped him from being a tool of the world Islam in imposing dhimmitude on America. Maybe he should ask Chuck Norris whether it’s a good time to “open up” when someone’s foot is on it’s way to your groin.
I don’t Huckabee, I don’t like Huckabee, I don’t like Huckabee! He will get steamrolled if he wins the nomination — he just doesn’t have what it takes.
Isn’t Huckabee a baptist minister? Aren’t the baptists the church who think its a good idea that during another religion’s holy time, i.e. Ramadan, Yom Kippur, to try and encourage those people to convert to Christianity? Yeah that’s some real genius work and quality we need. He claims his study of theology gives him the credentials to deal with the threat of fundamental Islam. I get the feeling the only theology he studied was Christianity, and only even a subset at that.

Never liked the sleezebag and told him so every time I got one of his begging EMails. Think they finally wised up and removed me from their list.
