Snakes on a Campaign: Mike Huckabee by The Southern Avenger

[Cubbermom]

Too many errors in this smug video to count; let's start with this one: Huckabee did not advocate a "national ban on smoking." He supported a ban on smoking in the workplace, because it's a proven health hazard to all, esp. the non-smokers. Huckabee LOWERED taxes in Arkansas except for a 1/2 cent sales tax which was passed by the voters in a referendum. During his 12 yrs as governor, Arkansans' average tax burden went DOWN, roads & schools were greatly improved, and he was re-elected TWICE.

[IssuesAndJustice]

So true. I've met Huckabee 3 times and he is legit.

[Harikus]

Conservatives weigh things based on their constitutionality? Well, I guess I am slightly confused by what this term means "Conservative". But a great deal of conservatives I know locally seem to be in favor of adding new additions to our constitution in order to interfere in people's personal lives. That never made sense to me.

[DaniOcean]

Because, you are mistaking neo-con's for real old style Reagan conservatives.

[twixcookie]

But nicotine is not illegal. They do not allow workers to smoke on their premises, even in their cars on their lots. So this is about what an employee does in their own home.

You are informed that during your employment, there are random tests of employees to see if they are using nicotine. You are told it is a harmful and addictive substance, quite true, but if someone wants to do this, why should an employer be intrusive?

[twixcookie]

Vitamins are good, but do I want the government legislating that I take them?

Most of the laws, such as the seatbelt and helmet laws, came about because of the insurance costs and monies paid out. People believe the government put those laws into effect to protect them, but that isn't the case.

Some states, like Ohio, allow businesses to test you for nicotine when you are hired. The reason you are told, is they are into good health and "smoking is bad."

[twixcookie]

Huckabee represents what is wrong with the Republican Party. Since it has been hijacked by the Neocon Religious Right Wing, it has become as intrusive as their accusations of the Democrats.

You are correct pointing out that people do not see the problems with government interference.

[russwhiskey]

Drink your milk,eat your vitamins,and say your prayers,sorry I meant to say get off of your horse first,ye haw,just rappin my toes around the old hot water bottle,pullin up the duvett,there be Indianes in them thar hills,they wont give us no trouble tonite,Goooodniite shep,seargent sound REVALIE,its ok captain george w on patrol,WAKE ME WHEN HES DEAD,sure will captain SIR,is that you ma mahh is that you,Never mind son just EAT YOUR CORNFLAKES,come back shane,SHANE COME BACK,shane shane SHANE,??.

Huckafuck.

[tattypatty]

"Mirrors his adult life". As in all wrestling is bullshit, all politics is bullshit as well

[Odyssey54]

HAHA, "Rick Flair is a REAL wrestler"? And Hulk Hogan is not? I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: ALL PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING IS FAKE!! Rick Flair would lose to Hulk Hogan only because more people would want Hogan to win, did you really think that Pro Wrestling is decided by real matches?

[Whoo69]

You should've made one video covering McCain, Romney and Huckabee and called it "Morons on a Campaign."

[MarkDouglasC]

Whoo -- why don't you run for something. Show us all how easy it is. Im sure with your brilliance, you could show us how its done.

[KarateKidX]

HULK HOGAN PWNS ALL!

[flattopFX]

Huckabee is the best in a bad lot.

[truthseeker2003]

I disagree, Ron Paul is better than the rest. He makes sense where the rest fail. His voting record is faithful. He exposes the lies that are destroying this country. The Clintons have been nothing but corrupt & self-serving. Obama is a muslim with an underlying motive to destroy the country from within. He won't even pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Huckabee is a fake, and McCain is a warmonger. Ron Paul may be our last chance to save this country from failure.

[wotrwokr]

(woooooooohoooooooo!)

rick flair's endorsement of huckabee

mike's BY FAR the most honest and dependable candidate. he could be the closest thing to reagan since. many people in the huckabee campaign (who DID work for reagan) seem to see the same similarity... go figure

[Pappy76248]

Well, you were wrong about Rick Flair and you are wrong about Mike Huckabee.

hmmmmm....STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

[xxintrepidxx]

this guy dosnt like republicans so STFU obama and clinton will take our freedom and obama will lead us into becoming another iraq! go huckabee !

[dannnynieves]

Both Huckabee and the Southern Avenger are full of crap.The only two good choices at this point in time are Obama and Hillary. If one of the Republican candidates gets elected in November he will screw things up worse than Bush, and the American People will have to hear this bullshit from you dopes, that it was because he was not a true conservative.We need new direction, way to go Obama,way to go.

[Godzilla1909]

Huckabee is nothing more than a spoiler. He will run as vis-president. You idiots who voted for him will see your taxes go up if he is elected. Huckabee loves Homos and high taxes and big government. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing

[royroidx3]

Huckabee will not get out of the race because:

1. He is a liberal like McCain

2. He is a religious bigot

3. He has a personal grudge against Romney

[JoshuaSkye]

Liberals are not homophobic. Huckabee is. Hmmmm. Yeah, sounds like a conservative to me.

[royroidx3]

I agree with you: Huckabee would have used the presidency to advance his personal, narrow religious agenda, not the constitution. That is scary, and it certainly is not conservatism. I am a conservative, and I am strongly against anyone who uses the federal government to persecute any human for their personal choices or beliefs. I want the government OUT of ALL of our lives.

[Casnazer]

If Huckabee wins, then I officially hate Americans. I don't like the idea of McCain winning either, but I would gladly take him over Huckabee. Ron paul is still my man, but I also have alot of resepct for Romney.

I choose Ron Paul becuase I believe he has more reason then anyone else, but Romney know's how to work with money.

[Nerfball6]

Unfortunately, a Vote for Ron Paul or for Mike Huckabee is essentially a vote for the liberal, open borders, amnesty lovin, capitalism hating, anti-tax cut, free-speech hating McCain!!! Romney is the only conservative who can beat McCain. This is clearly a fact. Vote Romney!!! It is the ONLY choice unless you want a liberal in office.

[egginanest]

Thompson is raking in donations. Please add YOURS to it, today! FRED08(dot)com

Huckabee is dangerous and would destroy the Republican party as we've known it to be....

[oldpreach]

Huckamania ? That is hilarious...oh, btw, Your boy Ricky Steamboat went to WWF and then out to pasture...I am sure that you know that, eh ?

[willyrobinson]

Well the American Dream was awesome - ole Dusty Rhodes.

[ed2kou1]

Slick Ric wooooooooo! Has been and always will be the man!!

[thevapour]

lol this is great. I'm going to subscribe.

[vamnews]

Huckamania is running wild!

[btigtime]

OMG southern avenger I'm i love with you and want to have your children... You are great.

[wilfredsnipple]

I agree with everything you said except for the wrestling part. I'm pretty sure wrestling is all fake.

I know Ron Paul is the real deal!

[darsal123]

Thay sayd the same things about other governor president want it be!! His name was Reagan, yet he proves to be the best! just like Huckabee, Huckabee is the best tha heck with the rest!!!! rodney giulianni and Ron

[n8glenn]

You sound like a Ron Paul supporter, but even if you aren't, I have to hand it to you for this brilliant piece. He wants children to eat their vitamins and say their prayers and he wants to use your tax dollars to make sure they do? I have never heard the message of why a nanny state is bad put so well or so succinctly! Bravo!

[righteousinfidel]

Huckabee is a catastrophe on immigration and illegals. A disaster. look into it. A vote for him is a vote for national suicide

RON PAUL 2008

[flattopFX]

I agree with everything you say, but if it comes down to Huck or Mitt, I'll go with Huck. Romney must be stopped.

[shiftstart]

"Conservative" voters who like a nanny state as long as one of "theirs" is in charge. Right on the money as usual!

[AntiFed1791]

Outstanding as usual. You're the best S.A.

[treysentio]

south carolina all the way

[upconstruct]

Is it true that he lied about his ministry degree? A preacher that lies ?!-sadly nothing new there.The fascists like using religon and misguided patriotism to control.Big gov = big brother watching you.What we need is to be our brothers' keeper and watch out for each other and keep an eye on our gov better.Our representitives have been selling us out.

[rundoetx]

To get the federal government out of your lives and bring government back to a smaller more manageable stateand locl government. Vote for Ron Paul. The TRUE Conservative Republican in this race.

[HungryDingo]

Southern Avenger really put a beating on Huckabee. The Republican party is such a far cry from Taft, Goldwater, and Reagan. Huckabee is not a conservative, in fact he is such an economic liberal it wouldn't even be fair to call him "neoconservative". And I thought neoconservatives were borderline left wing on economics.

[gofins1]

Huckabee has no money. He is being funded by the Republican party and promoted by the CFR owned media.

The Republican party believes that they can only win with the Christian rights vote like they did in 2004. What they don't realize is that George Bush has made people hate Christians. It won't work this time.

To say that Mike Huckabee is witty is like saying Bob Saget is funny.

His cute little lines are so rehearsed. You have to give him credit for working them into his responses though.

[CasaWood]

I remember early on when first hearing a bit of Huckabee I thought I could support him. Then I simply studied a bit and have not looked his way again. Hopefully Huckamania (nice attachment to wrestling BTW SA!) will run in to the same obstacle I did, his record and his real agenda. A true conservative, independent minded voter will not be able to overcome either and his 15 minutes of fame will fade.

[ShiekYerbooty]

Huckabee can't run on his liberal record in Arkansas, he has been caught in numerous lies, his only choice now is to pimp his faith to the evangelicals, but as soon as he's elected, he'll turn his back on them just like Bush did.

[RedShirtArmy]

Huckapoo's views on immigration especially scare me. Basically he believes, just as McCain and GW, etc., that everyone in the world has the right to live and work in America as long as they go thru the legal System. This policy would destroy any idea of an organic or national culture in any land where it is practiced - including in ours. Aren't 40 million foreigners enough, Huckapoo??

[conspiracy777]

we don't need another gov from Arkansas

[CNS2]

Great piece "southernavenger", I love the part about the NWA, all true. Ole Huck is also ashamed of his Southern heritage, we have enough scalawags in state & local government in the South with out electing him.

JohnnyReb (North Carolina)

[goerto]

I love givin to the govenmnt, HUCKABEAST 2008

[rk401]

Good analysis.

[umilmi81]

YOU LIKENED HUCKABEE TO HULK HOGAN!! This I can not forgive...

[katooom]

huck is a sham. he would be worse than gwb and that is saying a lot! huck would be easy target for dems.

Of two evils choose neither: RON PAUL 2008

[serendipitydumpling]

nice.

[SouthernGrey13]

The Fair Tax only continues to fee leviathan and it's unholy debt based monetary system.

There must be no tax on the people; we need much smaller and legitimate government and we must have sound money.

Paul/Napolitano 2008

[USconstitution1789]

I will not vote republican if this man gets the nod. I would rather see a democrat then another bible thumper. And yes I am a Christian. Sorry my fellow Christians, but you really dumb down this country.

[madvz]

I'm a devout Christian too. I won't vote for Huckabee because he is a big-government Republican. I believe in personal freedom - your religion does not matter to me; only your politics.

I'm voting for Ron Paul because I love freedom.

[USconstitution1789]

Sorry to paint with such a broad brush, but his rise in the polls is due solely to the evangelical voters. I am also solidly behind the good doctor Ron Paul.

[Lyndehouse]

We need a leader-not necessarily a conservative

[DreamAnderson]

Nice.

[mgilbo1]

Oldhack... You haven't read up on Ron Paul then. The income tax is only 30% of our total gov't income anyways. You can get rid of it, the IRS by cutting spending overseas in our 750 military bases that we are policing the world with. Its common sense.  Keep the money here and fix our country first.

[mgilbo1]

Hucks playing the religious card because he can't sell his own ideas to anyone but Christian wackos. He'll be out of the race after SCarolina.

[fulloasis]

BIGOT

[oldhacks]

only thing I like about Huckabee is that he's talking about the fair tax. Now where he would place the tax is where we differ but a transparent sales tax is by far more sensible then the rigged tax code we pay now. Thats the problem I have with Ron Paul he tells everyone he'll get rid of the income tax but doesn't tell people in order to do that you have to replace it with a retail sales tax.

[zappatx]

I rather sleep next to Hillary's tampon than have Huckabee in the white house.

[andreaw2112]

I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!!

[Stephanreyu]

Great synopsis.

[mmongo55]

Hang a dog, release a rapist, flip flop & vote for Huck-a-fat

[hulkamaniacum]

Should've developed the wrestling analogy a little bit more. And could've mentioned the fact that Flair endorsed Huckabee.

[southernavenger]

I know, I know. But Flair as long been a moderate Republican and if he was going to endorse a "safe" media-annointed candidate, I'm glad it's Huckabee over Giuliani or Romney. At least Huckabee's sincere about his big government, nanny-state philosophy.

[oldhacks]

Huckleberry's doing the same thing Hillary is doing. Using hollywood to gain the peoples trust.

[jackspratt409]

As much as I hate to say it, I am truly afraid that we either vote with ballots for Paul today or we vote with bullets for those same ideas tomorrow. Hillary would be the end of the country as we know it.

[suexian]

Ron Paul is going to be on "Meet the Press" on NBC for an hour on Dec 23!

[soulmantim]

Ironically Flair endorsed Huckabee.

In wrestling terms I think Huck is a "Jobber" for Hillary, in other words, he is being pushed to the forefront by the liberal media because it will be a shoe-in if it's Huck v. Hillary. This same media never polled Ron Paul v. Hillary, I wonder who would win?

[tworadley]

im more interested in a Ron Paul v. Obama poll

[ndnspongebob]

say man, i like your style

[zapthycat]

The Huckster is slick. It might be him that gets the GOP nomination, and then loses to Hitlary.

If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination, then Hitlary is our next Pres. Goodbye, Sweet America!

[laplante31]

You nailed it man, what makes me sick is i thought to myself back almost 6 months ago if Ron got rolling the only way to stop him would be for the media to switch gears and start pushing huck. and what has happened? Polls are crap, if i did not vote in it i dont give a rats behind what they say!

[nerfball615]

Brilliant..thank you for reporting..As a "Christian conservative" I pray for our decreasing voice and influence upon our nation's culture. I TOTALLY see through such fiscal liberal notions our legislative morality and an ever increasing socialized government. I hate to criticize a fellow brother in the faith, but this is my family's future a stake here. It's politics as usual. With that said myself and many of my friends will be heading to the polls in February to cast a vote for Dr. Ron Paul.

[MatthewCVR]

Well then that's enough for me. Ron Paul all the way.

[eneliatarknenah]

LOL! I love your professional wrestling metaphor. Great analysis.

[enjoiskaterguy]

what's also scary is that he calls himself a christina leader yet as governor in Arkansas, yet he said that he had to carry our the death penality than any other governor in his state before...is that christain?? NO WAY!! then in a debate, a youtube question was " on the Death Penality: What would Jesus do" and Hucklebee responded in a gettaway short response saying that Jesus was too smart to run for public office...He didn't even answer the question.

[royroidx3]

I don't want a theocracy. I love Jesus, but I don't care what Jesus would do as president. I want someone totally devoted to preserving the constitution, someone willing to wage war to defend our borders, and willing to punish criminals, not forgive them. These are very unChristlike responsibilities and totally necessary for a free society to exist. I am a devout Christian and a conservative, but do not believe using the federal government to impose my personal beliefs on America is American.

[metalmike06]

The Bible does say to follow the law of the land. Which, in our case, is the constitution, which most of our own legislators couldn't care less to abide by.

[Dedhedted71]

I did'nt think wrestling fans had any brains. I guess I was wrong.

[TrevorJNoyes]

Vote Ron Paul

[smellmymonkeydung]

RON PAUL!!!!!!!!

[thejobloshow]

Mike Huckabee wants to eliminate the IRS and put in place the Fair Tax. He's not Ron Paul but he's one of the better candidates.

[axisboldas]

Problem is I don't think he'd follow through on that promise.

[gangreneday]

not to mention the fair tax is evil

[enjoiskaterguy]

I heard before Huckabee's poll surge, he had been called to a CFR(Council on Foriegn Relation) meeting, which this group promotes open borders, Globalism, and insider secret poilicy making.hmmmm, was this a way to try and push Ron Paul's popularity down? Just thinking out loud.

[laplante31]

He may not be Hillary but he is all smokes and mirrors just like the rest of em. In the end he will be just another puppet in office like Bush.

Its sad that people that really stand for something get shot and no one ever stands up to snipe that puppets and fascist? the last bit was just kind of rolling through my mind.

[slavophile1]

Goddamn WWF carpetbaggers.

[savageUSA]

Ron and Flair! WHOOOOOOOO!

[linwooddeaton]

Ron Paul for president
