Reason: Huckabee Knocks "Libertarian faux-cons" in his new Book

The only libertarian things that came out of Huckabee's mouth are ideas he stole from Dr.Paul because he thought that we were a bunch of idiots who just bought into sound bytes without checking a person's veracity. He is a viscious, petty person with an ego a mile wide. I think he sank his ship with the hunting trip where he claimed the dead were his opponents, nice morality there.

I do not FEAr Christianity..i am a christian. I heard huckabee on Hannity on the radio and he sounded very libertarian. I would rather have someone who stands for 50% of the Ron Paul platform than someone like Newt or charlie crist who will not. Tones

ONE MORE TIME. It's very easy for Huckabee to start spouting these ideas; it is quite another for him to believe and practice them. TONES, GO RESEARCH THIS GUY. HE IS A DIRT BAG. He is dangling a carrot to people who have some vague recall of what true conservatism is and trying to trick you into jumping onto his false bandwagon. Just like Fred Thompson.

Look, I would vote for someone like Pat Buchanan. In fact I DID. I realize there is only one Ron Paul. But, Huckabee is not what you think he is. Don't fall for it.

100% TRUE, Huckabee is full of S___!
 
To get this thread back on topic,

I sent a letter to Huckabee reminding him of Reagans words from 1975 :P
 
Did he jump on the Ron Paul bandwagon? Or has he had this view for awhile. He has been for the Fair Tax for awhile now. If Huckabee is talking about these things...I consider it to be a good thing. You are NOT going to find another Ron Paul..with his voting record..etc. As I said before, if we can get 50% of Ron Paul's platform from a candidate...we are heading in the right direction. It is going to take a LONG time to turn people around..and we can either support someone who will help us make the trek back to sanity..or someone who has no chance of going anywhere..like Chuck Baldwin. Tones (i consider this effort to be a more bottom up than a top down anyway...we have to get these Ron Paul types elected on the local and state levels first)
 
Yes he is strong on states rights...i remember him being interviewd on one of the news channels...and they started grilling him on the Confederate Flag...he said "Thanks for the bait , but i'm not taking it (referring to race baiting) If washington came down to Arkansas and started trying to tell me what to do with our flag...I'd tell them where to stick the pole."

I LIKE this about Mike Huckabee...he is humerous, and not afraid to say things like that. Tones

Did you watch the YouTube video that I posted?

When asked the question if he would end the raids on the sick and dying in those states that have passed medical marijuana laws, Hucky should have responded with a resounding "Absolutely. The medical marijuana patients in those states that have passed medical marijuana legislation should have nothing to fear from the federal government and I as president will do everything in my power to be sure that their rights are protected."

That would have been a response from a guy who is strong on states rights.

The "Probably not" answer was nowhere near strong. It was a weak response from a guy who has no respect for the 10th amendment.
 
Look...this is ALSO the problem I have with libertarians. While I agree that medical marijuana should be legalized, i do NOT consider it a top priority. What the HELL is wrong with the rest of what huckabee said??? he is concerned about the Constitution and second amendment, he is concerned about the FAIR TAX and changing the tax code...he is concerned with getting more affordable health care without socialism, DAMN...you are going to HARP on POT? this is what irritates me with libertarians...pot is not a top priority. Some states are doing OK with it. California for instance. I do NOT consider SOCIAL issues like porn, prostitution, drugs and gambling to be TOP PRIORITIES. I find it RIDICULOUS. I said it before, if we can get a candidate that is going to work on 50% of the Ron Paul platform...YAY! tones

It's not about pot. It's about states rights. Hucky claims (and so do you) that he is a strong supporter of states rights. But this video clearly proves that he isn't.
 
Tones: You are missing the point. Either he is for states rights and would protect a states right to legalize medical marijuana or he wants to pick and choose which rights the states have.

There is no middle ground. This is a prefect example of why I would not back Huckabee. He is only for states rights when it is good for him. That is not the kind of person liberty lovers should want as a president.

Did you hear Huckabee on the hannity radio show the other day Moon? Doubtful..so you have no clue what he said. tones

Well played, nope you would not catch me listening to Hannity or Huckabee nowadays. Hannity will rot your brain and make you a bitter person who thinks everyone who disagrees with you is a commie. Huckabee is a false Christian deceiver imo and is not worthy of my time.

I can tell you that Huck learned what played well with our crowd and tried to capitalize on Dr.Paul's popularity and most of us intelligently caught on to the fact he was a sheep in wolf's clothing. Guess he is still trying the same schtick and seeing if he can dupe the unsuspecting into believing he has always been what he now claims to be now. Looks like it is working.

But since he claims to be a Christian I guess he will ring in morality for our society.:rolleyes: Just in case you missed it here is the article for Huckabee's hunting trip.

His humor, if you call it that, is mean spirited and not the least bit Christian.
 
moon...are you a christian? if you are...i can pay attention to what you said..if not..eh...I find it amusing that atheists want to throw things like that at christians and think we care.

Huckabee said nothing in that video about states/marijuana etc...the reporter PUSHED him until he said no he wouldn't stop the raids. He said nothing about states rights. he spoke about issues he was most concerned about...the reporter obviously had a legalize pot agenda. huckabee said that wasn't a priority. the guy kept pushing him. You folks see what you want to see..and furthermore, you must have a legalize pot agenda yourself to see that as a top priority when our economy is falling down around us and we have komrade obama as president.

I am not trying to convince anyone to support huckabee..and I'm not sure I will, i am just having conversation and I don't mind bantering back and forth about it. If you are a libertarian, you should probably work within YOUR party to find the candidate you can believe in. tones
