The GOP's Best Bet?

Ron Paul supporters are a dedicated and informed lot. I've learned much in reading their comments and then confirming this information in documents including the U.S. Constitution, The (so called) Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act, the Real ID Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The reports many Ron Paul supporters are making are unbelievably accurate but the mainstream media and his own Republican platform consistently discount his very knowledgeable speaking as rhetoric and babblings. After careful consideration this brings me great concern in regard to the agendas of these agencies.

I was watching oreilly last night and Hannity and Colmes, it was very obvious they dont want Huckabee. Oreilly even left his name out when he asked for a vote, he did list him. maybe Mike will shun them when he becomes president. They keep beining up his flaws but not the others. Sorry boys its not gonna work, Huck is the man.

Huckabee can unite this countryy, and appeal to both parties and independents like me. I think its over, no one close to him.

Huckabee has defeated the Clinton machine in Arkansas several times in a predomitately Democratic. He appeals to a lot of democrats including black voters, and would keep the Hispanic voters gained by the Republicans. He also is the best speaker and debater of all candidates in both parties. I think this election is already over, and Huckabee will win by a landslide.

The only chance that the GOP has to win the election is to nominate an antiwar candidate. That candidate is Ron Paul. Huckabee wants to stay in Iraq quagmire and thus will lose to Hillary.

I mostly vote Democrat but I like Huckabee...the Man that is. Huckabee the Candidate is way too far to the right on social issues to win my vote. Too bad he is not more moderate because I think he could clean up as a centrist.

Great article, Sir. Could you please post your research on the comment that you made "only a few were". concerning clergy signing the Dec. of Ind. thanks

Great article..... could you please post your research findings based on your statement "only a couple were". (He said in the debate that "most" of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergymen; only a couple were.)

Huckabee is the only "Real" canidate running on both sides. It is refreshing to hear a Presidential Canidate truely speak from the heart and mean it!!
Thanks Mike You've Now Got My Vote!

It looks like the sudden rise of Huckabee in the Republican primary is starting to draw attention (or scare) the Democrats. They are coming out in droves to try and stop the ground-swell of support that Huckabee is reaping. Good luck - the genie is out of the bottle, you will never get it back in.

ThAllen, "Genetic drift produces RANDOM changes in the frequency of traits in a population. Genetic drift arises from the role CHANCE plays in whether a given individual will survive and reproduce. Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or RANDOMLY through genetic drift." - Wikipedia
In my earlier comments, meaningless refers to all life on earth existing without design or influence, without God's intents and purposes, without some bigger picture in mind, etc. By randomness, I meant what I said above. Evolution is more than just natural selection. I'm fairly certain that Mike Huckabee, and most every other candidate running for President, knows the basics of the theory of evolution, or if they don't they can certainly find out in a matter of minutes. Though I'd rather they be a little murky on trivial matters (PanchoVilla is right) so long as they understand the bigger things, like the nature of the war on terror, the illegal immigration crisis, our terrible tax code, etc.
You don't have to believe in something to understand it. More importantly, and going back to Mike's point, the secular/atheist view of Evolution denies the existence of God, or any other higher power having influence or design over human existence. This is not to say that God and evolution are mutually exclusive, but this is how secular/atheist types frame evolution. The reality is that no one knows how life started on the Earth. Evolution does not explain the beginnings of life, seriously, look it up! This is not to say that you have to believe in God, but it should tell you not to fear people because they believe that God created everything. You can, for instance, believe that God acts through evolution, using it as a tool he created, OR you can take what I believe is Huckabee's position (which I don't think is a complete rejection of evolution) that we may never fully understand God's ways (except, once we are dead, perhaps), so it is shortsighted of us to get fully behind a theory that, as the question was proposed to him, denies God's very existence.

Huckabee is becoming the rising favorite of ordinary Republicans. He is a solid and CONSISTENT conservative, the most optimistic, experienced and proven leader, and the best communicator of the whole bunch. He is the least offensive and most likable candidate in the race and is uniquely qualified to not only unite the party, but is able to energize the giant sleeping socon base, as well as minorities and more independent conservatives who tend to distrust the establishment elites. As one who is able to energize and bring out the usual stay home voters, Mike also has the best chance of not just narrowly defeating Hillary but trouncing her in the general election for a real conservative mandate.

Much is being made of Huckabee???s supposed religious conflict with evolution. Of what importance is that? It matters little whether he thinks man evolved or was created. Laws are already in place to prevent anyone forcing Christianity down your throat. Now Muslims???that is a different matter. They can demand prayer places in public buildings and expect the rest of us taxpayers to provide separate schools where they can be taught in Arabic. Everyone jumps through hoops to avoid ???offending??? one of them. If we are the ???Great Satan,??? why do they come to live with infidels and Satan? Christians tend to move away from what they discern as ???Satan.??? By the way, I could care less for evolutionary theories or organized religions???either is immaterial to me. I am here and that is all that matters. Treat me in a civilized manner and I will do the same for you.

Giuliani is an authoritarian despot who is really a socialist-Democrat with a bit of Fascism added. It is his way or else. Romney is the same, except clouds his hidden agenda in major BS. He is a tax-and-spender-anti-gun Democrat in disguise (http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/9380526.html ). McCain is a pure Democrat and blood brother to Teddy Kennedy. Ever notice that he generally votes with Democrats and colludes with them on every one of his bills? Ron Paul is a little bazaar on some things, but essentially is a staunch constitutionalist. I still think Huckabee is the most inoffensive and electable of the pack. My parents came here through much trepidation, and legally, in the sixties. They learned English and demanded the same of their progeny. All of their children served in the U.S. military and refuse to be branded ***/American. I am American and I want everyone who comes here to do so legally. Illegal immigration is the bane of this society and though Huckabee may be a work in progress on this issue, the others are for criminal amnesty.

HUCKABEE'S WILLIE HORTON
Huckster, Mike Huckabee is hoping you never look in his closet because there's a Willie Horton hiding in there. This Horton is a monster named Wayne Dumond, a criminal with a long rap sheet of sexual assaults, molestations, and an admitted participant in a massacre of a Cambodian village while he was based in Vietnam and then aparticipant in a claw hammer murder of a fellow soldier in Oklahoma.

Huckabee bought into the right-wing lunatic fringe machinationa that the 16 year old Wayne Dumond kidnapped and raped was actually raped by Bill Clinton and worked behind the scenes to release this lunatic from prison. Dumond, upon his release, promptly raped and killed another woman in a neighboring state and is suspected in the death of another woman. Huckabee responded to criticizm of his unexcusable actions in theis case by flat out lying and denying accountability.. I can not excuse Huckabee's efforts to release Dumond, but his blatant dishonesty in accepting responsibility for his actions is an even more danming character flaw.
Stubborness, blind idealogy, and and an absolute inability and unwillingness to admit error are qualities that have not served Bush well. How will these identical characteristics help Huckabee any differently?

"His flip-flopping is so egregious he makes John Kerry seem like a paragon of principle". Examples, please. Stop repeating democratic talking points without proof. Changing one's mind over a two year span is different from taking both sides of an issue during the same election cycle. Romney doesn't have the common touch? You better tell that to his congregation he served as bishop and stake president.
