Mike Huckabee

[AnneSally]

I'm lovin Mike Huckabee The guy is all over the Whitehouse website and noticed how drastically it changed the minute after Obama was sworn in. He had someone on who just said that Obama makes Clinton look like a Conservative, I know that isn't news to any of us here as this is what was expected, but did anyone else watch Huckabees segment about Obama changing America? I tried to find on youtube to post but wasn't there...anyway, I thought it was interesting....

 

[MrSnow]

I'd have been tickled pink to have Gov. Huckabee as Prez.

 

[AnneSally]

I really like him, I think he's fair and good. And he has been fair and decent where Obama is concerned, I respect Mike Huckabee.

Mike H & Alan Keyes in 2012 YES WE WILL

 

[AnneSally]

I think Huckabee should run again yeah, I think he's decent.

But who's Alan Keyes? Never heard of him...lol

I was watching Huckabee a little while ago, and I remember that conversation, but I wasn't watching very intently and I don't remember exactly what was talked about. I remember him talking about abortion, but that is about it.

If I were old enough to vote during the 2000 primaries (I was 17 at the time, but was 18 before the general elections and was able to vote), I would have voted for Keyes in a heart beat. He's still the person for whom I would give my right eye to be president.

If there were a Huckabee/Keyes ticket in 2012, I don't know which one I'd rather have as prez/vp. I really like them both. Either way, they'd have my vote hands down.

AnneSally, Alan Keyes was the only black republican running for the nomination a few elections ago. He was the only one that actually addressed the issues at hand, and addressed them in a way that was at the very least highly satisfactory. He wasn't afraid to call right right and wrong wrong (and sin sin). By the way he responded in the debates, it was clear that he didn't give a hoot about anyone's opinions about what his policies would be (including special interest groups).

Look him up. I'm sure you'd like him as much as I do.

If there's a way for me to help make that ticket happen, count me in!

Oh wow, cheers for the info, I will do a little research....it's hard for me being stuck down here in NZ, we only get to hear the big names (so to speak).

But this Huckabee/Keyes ticket sounds rather intriguing! And I really am already quite impressed with Huckabee, I think he's been a good representative, what I've seen of him so far anyway....

 

[AnneSally]

And please, no more Sarah Palin.

I was briefly interested in Huckabee until I saw him dodging questions. Not what I would like to see from a pastor, let alone in the media's crosshairs. His record on crime and spending as well as his big-government ideas greatly disappointed me.

I actually voted for Keyes in the primaries 8 years ago. Unfortunately, he's not a popular guy, and he lost to Obama in the race for that state Senate seat. Consequently, he wouldn't be too hard for Obama to take down in 2012, barring a major disaster in the next 4 years.

Really? That doesn't sound good...

That was a disaster for MaCain. He really should have played his Cards better with the VP ticket.

And please, no more Sarah Palin.

I like Sarah Palin, we're just going to need someone stronger on the economy than she is in 4 years.

Bobby Jindal in 2012!

Mike Huckabee is a likable enough fellow, but he's far too nanny state Republican for my tastes. But when he's right, he's absolutely right.

Maybe I'm biased (Jindal is a former Hindu, now Catholic -- I was a former Hindu now Christian) but he's a rising star in conservative politics.

Alan Keyes still has many outstanding debts from what I remember, and is a "professional" candidate from what I understand. I think his policies are spot on however.

I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries. I love him as well. But his chance has come and gone, and lets face it -- he's not charismatic enough to win anything but a seat in Congress.

Catholics aren't exactly popular~even around here they're often viewed as cultic or on par with Mormons and JWs..

Ron Paul is too old now, anyway. He's the same age as John McCain. The man needs an heir apparent.

I've got some deep disagreements with him on foreign policy, but since Obama won and will likely kill the War On Terror, I don't see what the harm is in supporting the foreign policy Bush ran on in 2000.

I didn't, she seemed like an amateur, definitely not ready for the international stage.

 

[Kodos]

That's too bad. My wife's family is Catholic. Yes, some things in Catholicism irk me, but they're not bad enough to be lumped in with the Mormons! LOL, j/k. You know most Mormons I have met are extremely nice and gracious people and their politicians work for the same things conservatives (politically) work for.

Yes, they may be misguided by their religion, but when voting for a candidate I tend to look at their policy positions first.

I don't want to derail this thread anymore than I already have , but I just want to say that you cannot fight a War on Terror if you are broke. Which is where the Bush, McCain and Democratic policies have led us. We're in a bad spot now, fighting two wars consuming our resources, a deep recession with no end in sight and the government printing press working overtime printing out cash to pay for bailouts and other things.


My big beef with the Libertarian Party is that they are Pro-Choice in their party platform. I was always been pleased to see Ron Paul is pro-life.

I am also pleased that Tom McClintock was elected to the US Congress this cycle. He used to be my Senator in the CA State Senate. He is very much in the mold of Ron Paul. I doubt he's Presidential material, but the man knows his stuff and is quite fiscally responsible. He was also endorsed by Ron Paul.

Well, for the next 4 years I will be sporting a "Don't Blame me, I voted for Ron Paul" bumpersticker as well as a "Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism" sticker. I'll see how many days my car will survive in Southern California. My bet is that within 2 weeks it will get vandalized!
