It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
 | Huckabee Desperate To Sell Self As Gateway To Better Things |
The presidential campaign of Republican Mike Huckabee has gotten so desperate that Huckabee is no longer asking Republican voters to support him because he’s a worthwhile candidate. Instead, the Huckabee for President campaign is so desperate for attention that Huckabee has started begging Republicans to vote for him in a straw poll so that they might have the chance to meet some of the more exciting Republican candidates.
No kidding. Here’s what Mike Huckabee told Iowa voters: If Iowa affirms what is being said on the national level, those candidates will say, ‘We’ll just stay on the coasts’. Huckabee is now down to telling voters that they should vote for him so that the frontrunners will get worried about winning in Iowa, and will then come to their home towns. Vote for Huckabee in the straw polls, he tells them, and you’ll have a shot at meeting the Republican candidates you really care about.
That brings me to my proposals for a new slogan for the Huckabee for President campaign. You tell me which you think suits Huckabee the best:

You seem to have a real problem with Huckabee, the guys doesn’t have to beg for attention. Mike Huckabee is a great candidate and you really should find out more about him before you starting taking pot shots at him. It makes you look really desperate ..

Funny, Ken, but you can’t seem to actually identify anything that makes Huckabee a great candidate. You just say that he is. Looks like another blind faith Huckabee supporter.

What’s the matter with Blind Faith?
They sold a ton of albums before they broke up and you can still hear their songs on the classic rock stations every now and then.

Wait a minute - THIS is the best Huckabee’s supporters can do? Have an ANONYMOUS person come on and just write “go Huckabee”?
Pathetic.

You want reasons? You got em:
Huckabee is a personable, articulate candidate for president who brings a positive, upbeat message for the future.
My number 1 reason for supporting him - he is a supporter of the FairTax plan, which eliminates the IRS and the $240 billion spent a year on tax compliance.
Huckabee acknowledges the importance of an education - a public education at that. He’s determined to bring back the luster to our school system.
He has pledged to, as his first item to do in office, send a comprehensive energy policy to Congress to achieve energy independence, something he says he will accomplish by the end of his second term.
These are just a few of the many good reasons I support Gov. Huckabee in the race for president.
Oh, and before you ask, no, I’m not an evangelical Christian in any way, shape, or form.

Positive, upbeat message for the FUTURE?!? The man doesn’t even believe in evolution! Huckabee is a Flat Earther.

I’m always amazed when people want to do away with taxes but still expect government services (like education).
