Huckabee responding to Criticisms with Wolf Blitzer

[nrobyar]

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Though no one can please everyone Huckabee had 77% approval so you are very much in the minority! He had the biggest turnouts on election day in the history of your state, so he garnered enthusiasm and voter turnout! He is the finest politician I have seen in my lifetime and the Republicans are all kicking themselves that he is not the nominee. He WILL be the 45th president of the US....

[chulasirena]

ditto. huckabee will be vp i hope.

[nrobyar]

Mike Huckabee ran the state of Arkansas and he did a fine job. He was re-elected until he could not longer run.... in a democratic state. Romney and paul distorted Mike's record to discredit him because he is the best hope we've got!!! Mike Huckabee, we won't let you get away next time....2012!!!

[willtarded]

As a citizen of Arkansas for Huckabee's entire tenure. . .he did not do a "fine job."

[PackNic]

Wolf Blitzer sucks so hard. Here let me ask you a question. and then when you have said three words im gonna yell at you and ask you another question, then after three more words from you... ill make a statement. All the time just trying to make you say what i want you to say.

Your beard looks stupid, and your only famous because you have a weird name. you pompous toolbag.

[donnapartow]

When Huckabee was a governor, he governed. that's what governors are supposed to do. And he did it exceptionally well. In fact, he was selected as one of the Top 5 governors in the United States AND was voted by his fellow governors as President of their national organization.

[rek0722]

Wolf Blitzer is infuriating. I'm not a conservative, and I don't support Huckabee for the executive office (though I do like the guy for his honesty and straightforwardness). But in this interview, Blitzer is clearly just trying to catch Huckabee in a lie but has no evidence. I also despise that he tries to provoke the governor to attack the other Republican candidates.

[denimblueindigo]

remember, Huckabee left Arkansas with a huge budget surplus. Tax increases? Yes, approved by Arkansas voters. Soft on crime? He followed the lead of the Arkansas legislature.

[aprillh]

Gov. Huckster, your desperation is showing. And, your 15 minutes were up a few days ago. Bye bye.

[frodolinkimo]

No way! Mike kick butt and take no prisoner

JESUS 4 HUCK!

[cdo4Jesus]

Amen!

[denimblueindigo]

To Mitt Romney: Please Sir, campaign, concentrate on the issues and campaign. Please stop attacking Mike Huckabee?

[GoMittRomney]

Go MITT ROMNEY!!!

Read what talk show host Michael Medved blogged on Dec. 21st about Mitt Romney:

"But in Mitt's remarks today, he not only looked and sounded like a President -- he actually looked and sounded like a great one. All Americans should feel encouraged and grateful. "

Read what Mitt Romney is passionate about for America on his website--look for the booklet under issues.

Go Mitt Romney!!!

[royalgk]

This tax and spend thing just isn't true about Huckabee. He may be more progressive because he cares about poverty, but tax and spend is flat out false. He turned a deficit into the $850 million surplus that existed when he left office. In very narrow instances, a tax was raised to pay for something that had to be paid for, i.e. underfunded schools. There are fair criticisms of Mike, but the tax issue isn't one of them.

[FormerMALiberal]

Huckabee is hiding his horrible, horrible record behind his evangelicalism, don't get me wrong, he's saying all the right things and backs the conservative movement, but he pardoned 1033 criminals, 12 of which were murderers (can anyone say Wayne Dumond?), he taxed Arkansas into several billions of dollars of deficit, he received millions of dollars in gifts, he doesn't believe in evolution, he wanted to put people with AIDs into quarantine YEARS after it was learned AIDs isn't contagious.

[1980PintoMan]

Dumond was not pardoned, he was paroled by the parole board. Surplus not deficit. They all raise money for the next election, wake up. AIDS is contagious, you can only get it from someone else.

[Zile77]

Hickabee is a tax and spend liberal, far out of touch with conservatives. The big GOP spenders were voted out in '06 for good reason.

America cannot afford more broken promises and corruption by another con-man from Hope Arkansas!

go ROMNEY!

[jordaniac89]

Wolf Blitzer is a complete and total idiot. No one watches the Situation Room anyway. Blitzer is also coward to bring someone on his show and try to attack him. Blitzer makes me sick

[chukmaty]

I like this guy so much.

[mcacts1]

The HUCK is sweet and though. I like him. Vote for "The HUCK!"

[Bad4ndy]

oh im sure they would love a pro-war, pro-life, anti-same sex marriage, and pro-fari tax conservative christian candidate wouldnt they?? u dumb ass.... he is the biggest threat to the democratic party...., and by the way... ur comment was posted nine hours ago.. i live in mountain time and i read that @ 11:00.... durrr do research

[comnsense1001]

Huckabee is only doing well in IOWA - not close to the top 3 nationally.

Iowa seems awestruck at a slick-talking former preacher.

Huck is NOT the only pro-life Republican.

However, Huck, McCain and Rudy are the three Republican candidates who historically most favor benefits for ILLEGAL aliens and AMNESTY.

Tancredo, Hunter, Thompson and Romney are all much better choices.

[huckabeehasmyvote]

Check Rasmussen Polls, as of this morning, Huckabee is tied for 1st place nationally.

Check your facts.

[Bad4ndy]

are u mental.... a new poll shows huckabee is tied for 1st nationally wit guliani... at 18%... and if any1 wants 2 challenge me on this... i will email u the link from Rasmussen Reports

[sherebiah]

Go, Huck, go! Many believers are praying and pulling for you to win.

[jmrsmlive]

He has the best proven record and the most experience of any candidates.Are you gonna believe the other candidates and his enemies who are too busy in attacking instead of focusing on solving problems of the nation and coming up with ideas?Get pass the politics and the smoke screen.He has exceptional leadership ability in handling attacks,thinks fast on his feet& responsible.He spent less$ compared to othercandidates.He'll be wise at how he spends our tax dollars at capital hill.

[letfreedomring2k8]

Best proven record, most experience? Exceptional leadership, thinks fast and, GASP, responsible? Spent less money compared to other candidates? Which candidates, specifically? jmrsmlive, I'm sorry, but I think that your opinions don't have much credibility in light of the facts.

[jmrsmlive]

This man is the real leader with class and smarts. He doesn't have to put others down to get votes cause he is secure about who he is. Integrous, intelligent, creative, and strong character. when he gets elect, he'll focusing on uniting the parties instead of warring with them and uniting our nation. He's very honorable in that he lifts up other candidates instead of tearing them down. I like that. thats a real leader. Vote and support him financially.

[letfreedomring2k8]

Huckabee does seem like a good guy, don't get me wrong. I just think that his questionable record shows that he's not the type of responsible person that we need in the oval office right now.

[capitalistinside]

(cont.) Nope. Ron Paul is the candidate with the most donations from our very own troops. Shouldn't everyone listen to what our troops are trying to tell us all?! They're the ones on the front lines fighting for something that is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. Compare track records between Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. If you don't lie to yourself, Ron Paul will come up as the winner.

[huckabeehasmyvote]

Haha, that's completely and totally just political bull.

If anybody wants to actually compare the track records of what they really stand for - check out my blog (the link is in the info to this clip). The first two posts are about Ron Paul, the next-to-most-recent one is about Huckabee's stance.

I'd encourage you to get the facts straight. Enjoy...

[capitalistinside]

Why would anyone support a candidate who has a questionable track record (like Huckabee's)? Everyone who supports any other candidate other than Ron Paul thinks that people who leave Ron Paul supportive messages are "spam" messages. Why? Because there are so many supporters? You'd think that if Huckabee was genuinely concerned about our troops he would have received the most donations from our troops themselves.

[bulletproofsmurf16]

Mike Huckabee 08!

[Bchill27]

I'm voting for Mike!!! The man is awesome.

[someguy5554]

Wow...and people are buying TAX HIKE MIKE!

People need to wake up...Huckabee is a nice guy he's lost a lot of weight, smiles, and he is very laid back. At first I bought it (Huckabee's BS) but now I did research and support Ron Paul.

[huckabeehasmyvote]

If anybody wants the TRUTH (not what Ron Paul spam messages are saying) about Huckabee's record, go to the blog in the video info - read the post that responds to Chuck Baldwin's article. That article quotes a lot of outside references, unlike the Club for Greed/Growth.

God Bless, - Andy

[Ratzaroony]

Also, Huckabee doesn't want to dissolve the FBI and the CIA, something Ron Paul wants to do, even though we are at war. Mike Huckabee is the only true conservative in this race. Everyone should support him.

[seththewonderful1992]

He's the only genuine candidate out there.

He's not running for Mike.

Mitt is running for Mitt. And he's plastic.

Rudy is running for Rudy.

Fred is running just to stay awake, it seems.

Ron is running for Ron.

The only better candidate is me, and I'm not running.

[atlcowboy2536]

not a tax...it was a quality assurance fee.

what a joke.

[jerome209]

He believes his own BS.

[brianpatrick1975]

VOTE Huckabbe!!!!

[chukmaty]

This guy answers so well.
