Romney on Huckabee: “I’m afraid he’s running from the wrong party”

I’m not a fan of Romney but he is exactly right about the Huckster. How low has the Republican party sunk when we can even think of nominating a charleton like the Huckster. Shame, Shame, Shame. I would vote for a third party if the Repubs ever nominated the Huckter

Either Mitt or Hudkster is a winner. They will continue supporting the “War on Thugs”, those 19 non-Iraq, 15 Saudia Arabia thugs who attack us on 9/11 by continuing the WAR FOREVER, until every terrorist is wiped off the face of the earth.
Best of all the pro-war Republican canidates will not reverse the Bush Presidential Executive Order 13438 which states,
“Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq, issued. The order asserts the government’s power to confiscate the property “of persons determined to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq or undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people.”
This is great News. Bush can can now take the property (homes, cars, money) of any American who “pose a significant risk of committing” violence, or, if the goverment determines that an American is protesting “efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq”.
The very idea that the 1st Admendment rights of free speech and assembly would apply to war protestors is absurd. We must start taking there property now, that will shut
them up. Yes, we must elect a pro-war Republican Christian, so they can protect us from these anti-American war protestors. Is the Christian thing to do, right?

Well said Lori.

Mitt Romney for president? Who can trust a man to figure out our financial problems and make a budget when he cant understand the fair tax. And for all of you who believe corporation pay taxes, you might better do a little studying yourself. Huck does understand his math.

Voters who do not honestly look at the platforms of the candidates and make an informes choice are the worst. Informed voters even if they disagree at least keep the system as honest as it can be. Those who would vote for say Sen Clinton just because she is a woman or those who would vote for Huck just because he is christian are the type that should not be voting in my opinion.

“Mitt Romney for president? Who can trust a man to figure out our financial problems and make a budget when he cant understand the fair tax. And for all of you who believe corporation pay taxes, you might better do a little studying yourself. Huck does understand his math”
Walter, You must be smoking something if you think the fair tax would help our economy. It incentivises using used items because the tax is only on new things. I can tell you right now, I would stop buying new and go immediately to craigslist. That would mean I wouldn’t have to pay any taxes. Fair tax is Naive at best.

It is always the case that candidates play to the ends when running in the primaries. Republicans to the conservative end and Democrats to the liberal end. Then each party’s nominee rushes to the center to capture the all important swing vote. Republicans should get smart and support someone that can occupy middle groung without having to change positions to get there.

You can’t say that Romney should be worried about his own shortcomings, implying that there are many and then fail to elaborate on them.
A lot of Huckabee supporters and even Giuliani supporters get upset when Romney brings up their shortcomings. Instead of confronting those shortcomings many of you would rather imply that Romney has many shortcomings as bad or worse then the other candidates, yet anyone who say’s so always fails to elaborate leaving the subject open ended.
We know without a doubt by now that both Giuliani and Huckabee have plenty of skeletons in their closets, fact is no one wants to accept them. So far the only real skeleton Romney has is his pro-choice blunder which doesn’t bother me that much compared to Giuliani’s infidelity or Huckabee’s support of illegals.

The only fraud in this race is Flip Flop Fraudney. Will he finally decide on whether he’s a conservative or a liberal before the Iowa caucus? And furthermore, what will his position on Mike Huckabee be next week?

Romney is right. Huckabee is in the wrong Party. He’s more Democrat, certainly on fiscal matters, but on economics and Nanny-state social matters too.
If “fiscally liberal/socially conservative” Huckabee pulls this off, you’ll see a massive defection of Fiscal Cons to the Libertarian Party.
If Mitt, Fred or Rudy gets it, we keep the GOP coalition intact. If its Huckabee the Republican Party will fall apart, and the beneficiary will be Wayne Root and the Libertarians.

Mitt Romney is the REAL liberal. When he was running for Governor of my state he pandered to homosexual groups and stated he was pro-choice. Mitt Romney is not to be trusted conservatism is Mitts flavor of the month being used to get him where he wants to go politically..MITT CAN’T BE TRUSTED!!!

I don’t support Huckabee, but he’s right in this case, and its a smart strategy to start separating yourself from Bush. If Romney thinks that defending Bush can win him the presidency, he is delusional. Unpopular parties don’t get elected in the first place: I can’t find a single example in the 20th century.

Romney would continue the Bush legacy of draining the American taxpayers, keeping a war going to keep the money flowing overseas. This shows the complete ignorance of the Republican party, they keep giving us idiots to choose from, and that used to be the perception of the Democratic party. Republicans are cowards and idiots when it comes to war, sad but true, the only exception was almost the first True Republican, Abraham Lincoln. We need to get out of thinking we are the savior of the world, the last empire that thought that, were the Romans.

Romney is getting desperate … Folks are finally looking at Governor Huckabee and finding the real deal! A man who can articulate populist conservative values … with over a decade of executive experience running a state government … something Romney just can’t match … so he just attacks.

But Huckabee hasn’t played the religion card. He doesn’t attack Romney’s personal faith, and it’s completely hypocritical to ask Huckabee to refrain from talking about his experience as a preacher if Romney et al can talk about their experiences as lawyers, businessmen, doctors, etc. Huckabee’s stance on illegal immigrants is readily apparent to anyone who’s seen the YouTube debate. He expressed his ideas and experience on the issue very clearly. Anyone who argues otherwise is just a shameless propagandist for some other candidate.
Just to clarify- I’m not a Huckabee supporter. I’m really more of a proto-Stalinist, if anything else. I’d vote for Huey P. Long before I voted for Huckabee. I’m just here to set the record straight.

Romney is attacking Huckabee because Huckabee had the gall to attack President Bush? If Romney believes that Bush’s foriegn policy should praised…. then Romney is wrong wrong wrong.
Romney should try to be as authentic as Huckabee…

I think America needs to wake up. It is not the president that makes policy. It is your congress!

Romney isn’t perfect…but he is far and away the most qualified candidate for POTUS

Romney has been on the side of pro-gay marriage, gay rights, pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-socialized healthcare and appointed democrat activist judges. No wonder Maine does not distinguish marriage as between one man and on woman. I’m confused. Who is the democrat?

Gov. Romney supports illegal immigration. Cheap labor comes in handy for his sanctuary mansion.

How many murderers does Huckabee have to pardon before Huck fans figure out that this guy is dangerous?

So ADC…I suppose you interview every single employee of every restaurant you go into, just to make absolutely sure they didn’t hire any illegal immigrants? No? I didn’t think so. The exact point Romney clearly made in the debate when Rudy hit him with the “sanctuary mansion” thing, which only backfired on Rudy.

Romney is no more a flip flopper then any other candidate. Every politician takes what they believe and then presents that the best they can to the people who will vote for them. Romney was running as a Republican in a Democratic state, so of course he needed to tell the more liberal groups that he would work with them. IF you look at his actual voting record and what bills fell on his desk, you’ll see he is what he says he is. He gives valid reasons for his change in ideas and frankly, I like that a man can learn, grow and become better as they go through experience. I don’t like stale, “my way is the only way” type of politicians. Pres. Bush said during his re-election that he never made mistakes. Come on people…

The problem, Walter, is that Huckabee doesn’t understand the fair tax, or he wouldn’t have suggested it in it’s present form. How can a guy, who doesn’t even have a degree in Theology think he is any where near qualified to run for President of the United States? Any business background? No. Any foreign country experience? No.

If Hucksterbee were to become the GOP nominee, the Demorats would have little trouble tearing into him. In all of my 76 years I cannot recall a less qualified candidate for POTUS.

So what Mr. Romney is saying is that he would continue the policies and attitudes that have isolated us in the world and left our troops fighting virtually alone in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he would squander again all the goodwill we had after 9/11 if he were given the chance. He has learned nothing from the past five years. Brilliant foreign policy, Mitt. Very patriotic.
It seems Romney knows how to pander and spout cliches that his focus groups have told him appeal to the far-out right, but he shows little evidence of leadership. Huckabee at least seems to understand that we need to reconnect with our former allies and friends if we are to effectively confront the problems that face us. It sounds like Huckabee may come from the Bush 41 wing of the Republican Party. The one that won the first Gulf War with the loss of under 100 troops.

Why is it conservative to want the government in your social nickers? To me the libertarians are the only true conservatives left our here. Either you want government out of your lives or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways. It is NOT conservative to want the government to decide who gets married or who has an abortion anymore than they should decide who owns a gun or who goes to church.

Scribes, Pharisees and Huckabees! Hypocrites!!
The Huckster is lying through his teeth saying he doesn’t know much about Mitt’s religion…..and then he tries to play naive by describing a supposed Mormon doctrine without context that HE KNOWS will be incendiery! I am appalled at his bigotry. Then he sounds just like a dem in calling out the President!!!! Go away Huckster

Romney and Huckabee have the same values in my eyes, but when it comes to records and performance, I don’t think that there is an area where Romney does not out shine him. I want a president who is Tough, Smart, and Ethical, and Mitt is that man.
Just the thought of Huckabee getting the nomination makes me feel sick inside. He does not have anywhere near the experience of Romney, and it shows in how he has run his campaign.
Mitt has run the one of the best campaigns that I have ever seen. He knows how to organize and lead like I have never seen before.
In my eyes, sure Huckabee is a great guy, I do not doubt that at all, but I do not want a President who as Gov. of Ark. pardoned 700 to 1000 criminals, including murders. This troubles me. Plus I do not like his record on immigration. He does not seem very smart to me, and he is the last person that I would want to be making foreign policy decisions.
Mitt is the answer. A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Hillary or Obama, and we simply cannot let that happen. Mitt Will Win.

I’m an Iowan, and I can tell you right now Romney’s got his work cut out for him. Huck is hot right now… people are buzzing all over the place about him. Romney needs to pay closer attention to how much people are angry with Bush out here. He should keep his mouth shut about defending Bush if he expects any points from any of my neighbors.
Personally, I’d much rather see Ron Paul get the nomination, because I can’t stand the inconsistancy of so-called “social conservatives”. Either you’re conservative (less government in EVERY aspect of your life) or you’re liberal (government can fix all your woes if you cede it more power). There’s no “social conservative” middle ground.
Social Conservativism = Puritan Socialism. The true love of others is the love of liberty, not coerced conformity to your particular social mores.

Sailor on Romney: “I’m afraid he’s running from the wrong country”

Huckabee is awsome. He takes things so easily. He is serious and calm at the same time. He is a man of his word
