Why I Won’t Vote For Or Support Mike Huckabee
This sums it up. The man is not smart enough to run a campaign, let alone the country. This is pandering and I’m not buying it. From the moment he started rising in the polls, I’ve been uneasy, but this article made my decision:
Mike Huckabee, who has joked about his lack of foreign policy experience, is criticizing the Bush administration’s efforts, denouncing a go-it-alone “arrogant bunker mentality” and questioning decisions on Iraq.
Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor now running for the Republican presidential nomination, lays out a policy plan that is long on optimism but short on details in the January-February issue of the journal Foreign Affairs, which is published by the Council on Foreign Relations. A copy of his article was released Friday.
“American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out,” Huckabee said. “The Bush administration’s arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad. My administration will recognize that the United States’ main fight today does not pit us against the world but pits the world against the terrorists.”
In one specific criticism, Huckabee said Bush did not send enough troops to invade Iraq. And he accused the president of marginalizing Gen. Eric Shinseki, the Army chief of staff, who said at the outset of the war that it might take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to control Iraq after the invasion. “I would have met with Shinseki privately and carefully weighed his advice,” Huckabee said.
It is always easy to second guess what another person does. Hey Mr. Huckabee, I would have met privately with the families of the victims of those you pardoned..Asshat…
Allahpundit has more.
Others are comparing him to Jimmy Carter. We can not afford another Jimmy Carter.

Well. this is what you get for the Republicans pandering to Christians all these years, but not actually delivering on promises to them. Finally, an actual Christian candidate.
GO MIKE!!!

“Ernie Dumas, Arkansas Leader.”– Everyone in Arkansas knows Dumas as a liberal columnist, and a Clinton stooge.

On top of everything else, how can we trust another politician from a corrupt little backwater like Arkansas? Remember what happened last time?

Robert, I think Snowy summed it up best..he is liberal and what’s to stop him from going soft on terrorism?
December 17, 2007 - 02:17 AM on December 17th, 2007
9-”he is liberal”
As was Jesus Christ. (um, that’s where the term ‘Christian’ comes from, just in case you were wondering).

#10, yeah right…you mean Jesus supported killing unborn children? Jesus wanted religion out of the public venue? Really?

10, just because mainline Christians do not support Homosexuality doesn’t disqualify them from being President.
Hey, if you’re nuts like Kucinich or Gore, Democrats like you think he’s prime Presidential material.

Perhaps Huckleberry hasn’t heard that Bush isn’t running this time around?
