Huckabee wins on Rhetoric, Warm Fuzzies and Bigotry

Huckabee's win in Iowa and McCain's rise in New Hampshire have anti-Mormon bigotry at their core. Neither Huckabee's nor McCain's camps have any incentive at all to hint that Romney's loosing ground to them is due to that and Huckabee creating warm fuzzies with his good buddy smile and quick wit don't, alone, explain his win.

Romney's camp would be committing suicide to say that it was anti-Mormonism that got Huckabee the win.

It seems that when you call Romney out on seeming inconsistencies you're spotting a 'liar' but with Huckabee any pointing out of inconsistancies is just the prevailing cynicism of the day, how dare you think his motives aren't pure?! He's a good Christian.

Huckabee's either demonstrated that he's the master of all salesmen (ironic in light of the accusations against Romney for seeming too much like a salesman) or it's anti-Mormon bigotry.

What in your view, Yob, were his three most egregious 'flip flops'?

[Yobachi2007]

"Alleged flip flopping"; are you kidding?

He ran to the left of Kennedy for Senator, to the middle for Governor, and then to the right of Reagan for president.

I've seen him flip flop with in, literally, the same sentence. He took one position before the comma, and the exact opposite after the comma.

Dude, Romney is an even a worse liar than Bill Clinton, and that's TOUGH.

This is all just sour grapes for your Mormon buddy. This is anti-non Mormon bigotry coming from you.

He didn't run to the left of Kennedy. He said he was as much an advocate, if not more so, for gay rights BEFORE gay "marriage" was ever considered by even most of the gay community to be something considered a 'right' So he never switched positions on gay "marriage" and he is still an advocate for the civil rights of all, especially those with same gender attraction.

I support Mike Huckabee.

I take offense to your insinuation that everyone who supports him is a bigot.

Mike is my first choice, Thompson is my second choice and Romney is third.

It has nothing to do with his religion.

It has to do with the fact that this person at one time in his life had supported abortion. That is what I consider to be a fundamental personality flaw of core beliefs at the basic levels of humanity. He has since changed his stand and I applaud him for that.

[HiveRadical]

I never said or insinuated that everyone who supports him is a bigot, just a significant portion of his supporters. If Huckabee won the nomination I'd support him and vote for him, but just as you see certain things in Romney as fundamental personality flaws I see those things in Huckabee and in a significant portion of the movement that's propelled him to where he's at.

[DadsBlueAngel]

Maybe he's right. He's been in the Governor's

Mansion much of his life since he was a kid.

Time to lounge around the pool in a Gatsby

pink suit. I think SLC made him choose between

the honest office and civil rights and the Church--see the turn out the vote anti-gay

marriage campaign in California. He didn't

want to get involved, and certainly didn't

want to be involved in the New World Order.

In his Gatzby pink suit, he may be able to

do some good.

[Yobachi2007]

I guess later for his damn aunt, he really wasn't broken up over her death after all.

Even if you took him at his word, which no thinking person could do, if a man can't figure out his basic beliefs until he's 60 that's not a man I could trust no matter what his position is.

The Mormon community and and the far right wing radio crowd a like just can't handle that people didn't by his sleezy used car salesmen spiel. Take it back to the gullible people of Massachusetts.

[Yobachi2007]

He ran to the left of Kennedy. That's nice generalize but he switched repeatedly on specific policy positions, and every time he switched, the position he switched to conveniently and coincidentally was more favorable to the race he was running in at the time.

He tells the heart wrenching story of how he became pro-choice after his aunt died, and then when it's time to run in the national republican primary, all of a sudden he gets moral clarity at 60.

What? How is being an expert on constitutional law meaningless? He is an expert on foreign policy because he reads and knows history. He understands what the us government is doing in other countries, he reads the documents written by the cia, he read the 9/11 commission report. You don't realize that he's an expert on economics? Listen, YOU go home and do some reading, you don't know anything about Ron Paul, obviously. I say again, Ron Paul wants to lower YOUR taxes, why is that so bad?

[newaza79]

an expert on the constitution...meaningless.

an expert on foreign policy....how?

an expert on economics...how? look at his record.

honest....how?

Go home and preach Ron Paul and build your bumper sticker collection. Thats about all this guy is.

[n8glenn]

Wow, that is even more childish, good job! Ron Paul is more qualified to be president than anyone else running, period. Why? Because he is an expert on the constitution. He is an expert on foreign policy, he schooled giuliani. He is an expert on economics and monetary policy, he schooled ben bernanke. He is also an honest, principled man, who entered politics 30 years ago because he wanted to make a difference. Please, if you don't agree then come up with a logical argument. Can you?

[n8glenn]

Ha! That is so mature. So you don't dispute that he is telling the truth, you're just calling him a loser, that's fine. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, it's what he stands for that counts. And what does he stand for? He wants to make YOU RICH! He wants to GIVE YOU your freedom back. He wants to bring PEACE to the world. Keep laughing as the corrupt powers that be push him out of the way, keep laughing as they continue to confiscate everything you own :) enjoy! :)
