Huckabee Slamming Bush Foreign Policy w/ Wolf Blitzer CNN NOW
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!
Full Article.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316916,00.html
American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out," Huckabee said. "The Bush administration's arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad. My administration will recognize that the United States' main fight today does not pit us against the world but pits the world against the terrorists."
While the Foreign Affairs article is missing the one-liners he is known for, it does have a few folksy comparisons to illustrate his points. On Iran, for example, he makes a case for diplomacy by saying, "Before we put boots on the ground elsewhere, we had better have wingtips there first."
Romney Slams Huckabee, Defends Bush’s Foreign Policy
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/12/15/politics/fromtheroad...
“I said, 'Did this come from Barack Obama? Or from Hillary Clinton? Did it come from John Edwards?” Romney told the crowd of about 100 people. “No, it was one of our own. It was Governor Huckabee.”
Governor Romney said that while Mr. Bush’s foreign policy has not been perfect, especially in some of the handling of the Iraq war, the president should be commended, rather than criticized by fellow Republicans.
"So we ought to be saying thank you to the president for keeping us safe these last six years,” Romney said. “And I'm the last person to say that this administration has suffered through an arrogant bunker mentality.”
This guy as another said,,is totally SCARY!
THE FLIM FLAM MAN!
Too bad there is not a web page denoted on the lies and flips of the likes of this man . So people can just go there and decide for themselves whats the truth and whats not.. a comparison of his actions all in one spot..Huckster the "Flim Flam Man"!.. That would put all the changes and deciets that he expouses and did expouse. How he tries to cover he arrogance with a smile and soft tone. Like he's talking to air heads that cannot remember one thing to the next day. He... graduated from the Clinton College of New Speak....

what?
So he supports war in Iraq AND thinks Bush's foreign policy is arrogant???
HELLO???
Don't they teach elementary logic at theology schools anymore?
Would asking for a bit of integrity be too much to ask of a future president?
He's using the John McCain position that the war
was right but the strategy is wrong.

This guy is scary...
Suddenly, I'm happy the campaign sent those dudes to Iowa to tell the truth about him. And I keep finding more and more ethical issues this guy has -- he's Elmer Gantry on steroids. Scratch the surface & he's the exact opposite of Ron Paul when it comes to ethical issues, I just hope the American people can see through his well-honed act. And there's already a story about what looks a lot like an obvious pardon-for-money of a big-donating drunk driver out there...How can that kind of an appearance of corruption along with his tax/spending/pardon records even be doing THIS well??? Sheesh...

I think this is a big
I think this is a big mistake on Huck's part. If he thinks he can steal votes from the good doctor, he's even nuttier than I thought. He may have just helped our campaign win or place highly in Iowa. Think about it:
His growing popularity was the result of pro-war conservative voters seeing the so-called top-tier candidates' true, liberal, immoral colors. Combine this flip-flop with the beating he's been taking for his other flip-flops and I think you'll start seeing a steady exodus of his supporters towards the Thompson camp and the McCain camp, who just received the endorsement of Iowa's largest news rag. That would raise Thompson and McCain's numbers in Iowa and lower Huckabee's. What I'm getting at is... while they all split the pro-war votes, Ron Paul's numbers may put him in position to win that state or place 2nd. Afterall... the polls in Iowa don't show the number of likely votes Dr. Paul will receive from first-time voters, independents and Democrat defectors.
Well... I hope it works out this way.
Ron Paul shouldn't pick ANY
Ron Paul shouldn't pick ANY of the other candidates as VP. He'll just get shot and then the Machine will take control back. Unfortunately, the vote is going to be rigged. They'll make it look close, but bet your ass, Ron Paul is not going to win because they are going to cheat him out of it. When that happens, they can give it up to the Revolution.
Political Tactics?
Do you think Huck did this to try to get on the Ron Paul VP list?
Iowa is a Caucus, and people win when they compromise.
For a while our meetup was wondering if Huckabee would try to push Romney through to win Iowa if he is promised a VP spot, but based on the Romney statements against Huck it doesn't look like that is the case.
Would you still vote for Ron Paul if he had Huck as a VP?
Ron Paul could possibly sweep in Caucuses with this.
I would vote from Ron Paul if Freddie Krueger were his VP...
but... Let's remember Reagan. Being forced into taking a NeoCon VP, after having ran on effectively Ron Paul's same platform. Then 60 days after, well, we all know the story... And worse, Bush became Reagan's Cheney... And I think the fact that things didn't get messed up worse than they did is probably a testament to Reagan's skill and intelligence.
We need someone more libertarian than Dr. Paul as his VP in order to insure his safety.

Huckabee is biting the hand.
two thoughts
one - we are spending to much time talking about Huckabee.
two - Huckabee is trying to bite the hand that's feeding him before it's to late. Small Huck is one slippery little dude. But, Fox & Friends will tear him down starting after Iowa. And, then you will begin to see how a real slimeball operates. Rudy G is coming and we need to be prepared.
We need to focus on beating Giuliani. He is the man to beat and Ron Paul has to spend his time distinquishing himself against him. The others are all footnotes to history.
Sidenote - Romney is also very slick. He wiggled and jiggled around Meet the Press this morning in one of the most Houdini like performances of all time. Past statements that would sink any other candidate, "I'm going to out Kennedy, Ted Kennedy on Gay Rights." How does he do it.
I have to disagree with you
I have to disagree with you on number one.
He is an advisary of ours. His doings need to be discussed as they affect RP's campaign.
Over a month ago, when Huck started to get the media coverage and was at single digit polling numbers, a lot of people said he's a flash in the pan. That maybe so still, but his numbers are in double digits now.
We all know the large majority of polls are screwy in their results. Does the average American know this? No they do not; they see Huck at 20%+ in the polls and think, hey he must be a good guy, look at the support he has. The fact that his support doesn't even come close to RP's makes no difference as of right now to Joe average. Joe average doesn't quite see the support of RP yet. They'll do a little looking into Huck and jump on the bandwagon. On the surface, Huck seems like a good guy. Most people want to be part of a group.... the group that is winning or popular.
We need to discuss Huck here to an extent. We need replies and strategies to answer people we talk with who are in Huck's camp.
Hmm...
Didn't he say just a few months ago to Ron that the Republicans should keep thier honor even if it cost them the election?
Didn't he approve of the War in Iraq, and of a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran?
He's a douchebag, and doesn't deserve a thread here.

Email Larry King
I think we should all email Larry King about it. I don't remember where I saw the article and would like to include the link. Anybody remember???
Ron Paul is my HERO!

Doesnt he typically do softball questions?

is all these fools do.

Just as crooked
I saw something on him yesterday from a paper in Arkansas that said he and his administration destroyed 100 computer hard drives before he left office.That's kinda fishy!!!!
I hope Larry King asks him about that!
Ron Paul is my HERO!
EMAIL Larry with that question!
go to Larry's page on CNN and email that question. He is asking for people to submit questions for Mike Huckabee's appearance on Monday night's show...just make sure it's for real.
Yeah right!!!
I read that too! I doubt Larry will ask him anything of real substance, though. I'll be surprised if he even calls him by the right name. LOL
Too little too late, Governor...
Huckabee is "trying" to come across with a Paulian platform of open foreign policy, but the problem is it is too little too late, Mikey. You've already solidified yourself with those other guys that have opposed Ron on stage at the debates.
Nice try, Governor...
Just trying to cut into the "anti-establishment" vote
He's running a Carter-esque "credible outsider" campaign, but the best he can hope to portray himself as is "Paul lite."
I'm looking forward to him taking a beating from all sides (including independent groups like the Club for Growth). He may win Iowa, but he'll be badly wounded and his turnout is going to be hurt.
His bashing Bush is a mixed bag. On one hand, it cuts into Paul's exclusive role as a critic of Bush's foreign policy. On the other, it provides some credibility to Paul's stance. Now he's not the only one bashing our foreign policy.
By the way, his name is "Huckabee" and the word is "slamming" and not "Sslamming." Come on: it only takes a second to run spell check. We don't want to look like a cadre of idiots.

He is DELUSIONAL
He's talking about "after he wins the entire nomination"... and how HE's the candidate that can relate to the "little people". I'm sorry, but he makes me want to puke.
Yeah that was funny, I got a
Yeah that was funny, I got a good chuckle out of him saying:
"The reality is I am not the choice of the chattering class, never have been, don't really care if I am. The Washington and Wall Street pundantry does not think I am going to be the next President, and they don't want me to be. Do you know why? Because they don't understand I AM CONNECTING TO THE PEOPLE THEY DON'T KNOW. (insert... HAA HAA HAA). I am connecting to the people out there who are waiting tables, driving cabs, and handling bags...."
Oh, I know!
He almost seemed angry! He isn't connecting to ANYBODY besides the far-right religious conservatives. He's a pretender. Only RP can make those claims. He is the one speaking to the people - not Huck.
Well said Jen!
Well said Jen!
Well thank you, Howard! :-)
Well thank you, Howard! :-) Stay tuned - I guess they'll be talking about the blimp coming up ..
Wolf should have mentioned how...
the Huckster stole from the "little people" when he stole from the mansion fund to supplement his lifestyle.
Gotta admit, though, Huck is a good little worm... squriming through the slime almost untouched to date.

He wants be RP VP...
You're laughing
But it could be true.
My experienced Republican friend that's been involved with the GOP and has a good understanding of Caucuses says that Huckabee COULD be doing this and we could use this to get his votes if RP's people agree to have Huck as a VP...This would make for interesting politics...I'm curious if RP would accept Huck as a VP or not.
It's a good sign that Romney and Huck are attacking each other though, because now there is almost zero chance of a Romney/Huck ticket push.
Romney may have lost Iowa because of this. Ron Paul could win Iowa if Huck's people decide to go to Ron Paul with a guaranteed VP spot.
Question is, would you still vote for RP with Huck as a VP?
I'd think a RP/Thompson ticket would be interesting as well...
