So What’s With This Huckabee Clown?
Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Idiotarians, Politics, RINOs6:35 PM
We seriously don’t understand what all the excitement is about.
He loves taxes, ANY sort of taxes, and will happily sign on to any kind that the legislature might send to him. We don’t know, but conservatism must have taken a strange turn since we converted to it if that’s considered a viable position for a GOP candidate.
He’s all in favor of sending AIDS victims to the camps, or at least he used to be until somebody noticed. Now he’s claiming that nobody knew back in ‘92 that AIDS wasn’t transmitted by, we don’t know, handshakes or dirty looks. We’re willing to entertain the notion that Huckabee didn’t know, he doesn’t strike us as somebody weighed down by an overabundance of book learning, but everybody else above the age of four knew. Next, he’ll advocate gassing cancer patients, we’re sure. And the mentally retarded. No, he won’t do that. That would put himself in danger.
He has a rather impressive (if you’re a rapist or murderer or both) record of pardoning violent criminals, at least one of which went on to murder a mother of three. A strategy that worked really well for Dukakis, if we remember correctly.
He’s also on the record for calling opponents to amnesty for illegals “racist and nativist”, in the finest tradition of Michael Jerkoff, President Bush and Teddy Kennedy, and you all know how well that thing plays with people simply concerned about upholding the nation’s laws. But we guess that the law of the land means nothing to Huckabee which, again, is a rather curious position for a so-called “conservative” to take.
He’s a Gorebecile of the worst sort, fully devoted to worshiping at the altar of Global Wormening, even though he likes to pretend that he’s not all that sure that mankind has anything to do with it but, as he says:
“We have done more to abuse than use the planet.” He added that it’s better for Americans “to act as if global warming” is a scientific fact because there is “no downside in conserving our resources.”
Nope. No downside at all to mandatory caps on glowbull wormening “pollution.” It’s not like it’s going to create price increases as more expensive substitutes become needed to run the economy. Nor is heavily subsidizing worthless and expensive corn growing for ethanol going to cost a penny, much less shift food production away from, well, food production and cause scarcity and increased prices at the grocery store.
We throw away nail clippings more knowledgeable about economic basics than the sum total of whatever it is that keeps Huckabee’s ears from collapsing on the vacuum between them.
And he’s a GOP “front runner?’
Gee, they may have finally gone and done it: Create a “Republican” candidate that makes the Hildebeest look only mildly insane by comparison.

Huck’s attraction must stem from the paucity of other good candidates to oppose him; this guy looks worse and worse every day and the Iowa circus hasn’t even been held yet. The whole AIDS thing of his just gives me the creeps, camps for gawds sake?

Wasn’t it Huckabee who introduced the smoking ban in Arkansas? He’s a bit of a health nut, isn’t he?
December 9th, 2007 at 7:53 PMUsing
A smoking ban? Shit. Now what? I feel as if this election is a choice between seven different bowls of shit. Damned discouraging, not to mention unpalatable.

FRED! isn’t one of these taxaholic clowns. Get your ASS to the primaries! Make sure we DON’T have an idiot like this Huckleberry running. This nation needs a conservative president, and a conservative congress. We aren’t even to the primary yet, get us some decent candidates!

You forgot to mention that he is a nanny state nicotine Nazi, who would pass Nuremburg laws for smokers.
December 9th, 2007 at 8:39 PMUsing
Actually you can call me creepy if you want but the idea of quarantining a group of people with a deadly and transmittable disease doesn’t sound that radical or evil to me. Think Typhoid Mary if you will, unless he actively suggested euthanasia in which case he really needs to run as a
National SocialistDemocrat.The rest of course is most alarming from a “Conservative” candidate and I agree with Age of Rifles’ suggestion that this is the result of poor options.
I suspect the Washington elite chose the front runners for their potential to get invited to Democratic dinner parties rather than their doctrine and likability among their own party base.
This is what we get when we got rid of Newt, the greatest idea man since Reagan, and replaced him with……

I’m sort of hopeful that Huck has torpedoed himself with his earlier AIDS lunacy. I was never a supporter, and I hate to see him siphon off resources from a conservative candidate. So who exactly IS our conservative candidate, again?

Hockingupstingingbees is STILL running?
Why? Is he becoming another Ron Paul viral campaign?
I lived in SF back in the 70s and early 80s when AIDS scared the hell out of people. We didn’t know what the hell it was. It was genuine fear. That asshole has had 26 years since it was defined in 1981 and 15 since 1992 to pull his head out of his ass.
Does he still think shaking hands with a gay guy is going to give him AIDS? Jesus Christ save me from some of your followers. Not like there hasen’t been 128,000 people killed from anything else in that time, according to his statistics.
NOTE TO HUCK: YOU”RE NOT GETTING IN.
December 9th, 2007 at 9:36 PMUsing
The quicker Huckabee sinks, the better. He’s clearly one of the worst Republican candidates for office, tied with Ru Paul. Could the religious conservatives wake up and rally behind Fred instead of this clown???
December 9th, 2007 at 9:52 PMUsing
I’m not sure, but if retards don’t stop shooting him up the polls, we will all be sorry later. People need to wake up and stop being idiots. Why are so many people trying to support all the wrong candidates? I mean, what kind of logic in a conservative’s mind makes them think, hmmmm….I think I will support Rudy Giulliani? He is pro-abortion, pro-gay marraige, and a cross-dressing gun grabber. Yep, he is the man to run our country. Or, no wait! Lets vote for someone that out liberaled Kennedy in Mass. I mean, he looks like a Ken doll and makes nice speeches. Or even better, lets put a tax raising, nannystate nicotine nazi, who wants to shut down Gitmo, isolate AIDS patients, and give illegals scholarships. After all, he is endorsed by Jesus and Chuck Norris.
I’m endorsing Fred Thompson.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:03 PMUsing
By the way, I understand Ron Paultards better than so called conservatives supporting Rudy.

Oh, Jesus, Sire, don’t tell my small time farmer Grandfather that. According to him, ethanol is the greatest thing since the Redemption! Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that it’s a short term massive infusion of cash to his ilk. Never mind the long-term consequences. Nah, it’s just the long-withheld Justice meeted out to the Perpetually Downtrodden Small Farmer.
His generation is so fracking infuriating! He was a tank gunner in Korea, his brother was a corpsman at Chosin, he built his farm from the ground up from 200 to 3000 acres, and now he’s a fracking welfare queen!

Fracking? Thresher, do I detect a fan of Battlestar Galactica?
My candidate is either Romney or Thompson. Thompson is more of a conservative but Romney would also get points for making the antireligious left absolutely pop some O-rings, being a Mormon and all
And yes, I’m one of them there Mormons .. and no I dont have multiple wives. How any man could deal with more than one woman and maintain his sanity I will NEVER comprehend ..

Yessir! Been a fan since the miniseries came out in ‘03, watched it religiously ever since, even through the Iraqtica days of the first half of Season 3. I was pretty happy with seasons 1-3, Season 4 should be interesting.
Have you seen Razor?
December 9th, 2007 at 11:48 PMUsing
Been a fan since Day One of the new series. I’ve been told more than once by my employees my management style has some similarities to Bill Adama
Seen Razor … liked it, a shame it’s just the one movie.
My two cents on the series finale? The only two survivors of the Fleet are Starbuck and Apollo, who make it to Earth minus the rest of the fleet … andf Gaius Baltar gets portrayed as some kind of pseudo-Jesus figure .. you DO know that what airs in March is the final year of the series, dont you?
December 9th, 2007 at 11:52 PMUsing
Yeah, I know it will be the final season.
I LOVE Admiral Adama! I just hated what they did to him in late Season 3, with that ridiculous guilt-trip episode he has because he thinks he’s responsible for the war because he led a recon mission across the Armistice Line. Two things. One: How do you have any kind of a “line” in space? Two: Is Adama really that emo to think that was the cause of the war?
It was just poor writing.
And I had such a fanboy crush on Cally. She was my girl up until Season 3. Haven’t liked Starbuck since she got those two Marines killed charging into that hostage situation like a fracking noob.
December 10th, 2007 at 12:03 AMUsing
So true … so true … on pretty much every count. A twist would be Apollo and Starbuck as Adam and Eve on Earth.
Hopefully, we will never experience the equivalent of THIS …

My worry is that with people having such short memories .. and with the leftish media singing AMEN to whoever has a (D) as their party affiliation .. we may end up having our own Case Orange scenario … except in our case, it would be likely terrorists nuking DC and several other cities.
Fanboy crush on Cally?? Oh man … I will keep my mouth shut on that one. Dont know you .. and my sense of humor can be a bit relentless (add to that a defiant side to me three miles wide) and it gets my arse in a crack more often than I care to comment on … more than once, my wife’s claws have come out because of a comment I thought funny and she popped a few O-rings

Hey, now, if you don’t find her physically attractive I can’t do anything about that (I happen to like little mousey brunettes, but that’s me). But hear me out: I liked her in the mini because she showed a lot of emotion when Prosna died in the fire. I stood up and shouted “Atta girl!” when I watched her bite that convict’s ear off in Bastille Day. She was a dedicated, gifted grease monkey, and had a little sister quality that was endearing as all get out (I’m a sap for such things). In my defense, I was 13 when the mini came out!
What’d you think of Lt. Shaw from Razor?
December 10th, 2007 at 12:27 AMUsing
Well, I thought Lt. Shaw was conflicted to put it mildly .. she had seen a LOT and been through a lot .. and she ended up, if I remember Razor correctly, being the sharpest razor of all. Was she the one who set off the nuke aboard the Basestar?
You were 13 when the miniseries came out? That makes you what, 17? 18? Dont recall when it came out. God, I feel ancient now .. LOL .. I’m 42 .. and a confirmed geek. Cant get my wife into the series to save my life … she just does the rolling of the eyes …
December 10th, 2007 at 12:31 AMUsing
Yes, it was the good Lt. that pulled a Bruce Willis and manually detonated the nuke aboard the Basestar. A shame, that accent was growing on me.
Yeah, I was 13 when the mini came out. I’m 18 now. BSG was one of the things that got me itching to join the terrestrial, and real, equivalent of the Colonial Marine Corps!
Flying a Viper never appealed to me, but junking toasters on the ground an in the hallways of a Battlestar did! It’s such a damn crime that there’s been a pretty severe lack of infantry combat on BSG.
There’s three things in the world of entertainment I truly love: One is BSG, the second is Halo, the third is the little lady up there in my avatar.
December 10th, 2007 at 12:41 AMUsing
Myself, I’m former Air Force, I was a lowly Captain who got out around the time you were born.
If I am reading right you’ve joined the Marine Corps? If so, then I thank you for your service. Carry on (Not sure if I should put sir or ma’am after this … I take NOTHING for granted on the web … LOL)
Nice to see another BSG fan on here
December 10th, 2007 at 12:46 AMUsing
I will be joining shortly! Gotta finish HS first! I’ll likely go Reserve so I can pursue a history or political science degree while I’m in. Hoping for a slot in Infantry. I’m an 18 year old, very much a male, Iowa native (I was thinking, wouldn’t my crush on Cally be a give away of my sex…. eh, that doesn’t mean anything these days)!
Crunchie’s a BSG fan too! Or at least he was last time we talked about it a few months ago.
I don’t have a crush on Cally anymore. That ended in Season 3, when they totally screwed up her character. I’ve sinced moved onto more mature and sophisticated women…

The Candidate Calculator matched me up100% with Tom Tancredo. Is he even still in the running?
December 10th, 2007 at 2:06 AMUsing
I agree, if we were talking typhoid, bubonic plague or Ebola, but we’re talking about AIDS, which is only slightly more infectious than hangnails.

I’m surprised you didn’t have a post up for Razor, milord. Did I just miss it?
December 10th, 2007 at 2:24 AMUsing
Yep, Cally, is da bomb.
Ok, she’s the spunky, “girl next door” bomb, but I think a chick who can field-strip and rebuild an intersteller fighter is just too sexy for words.
Just to get back to the original thread just a teensy bit, I have two words about Huckabee: Republican Jimmeh Carter.*
’nuff said…
*ok, three words.
December 10th, 2007 at 2:37 AMUsing
Thank you! Finally someone who appeciates the lady!
Anyway, I have to say that if Huckabee wins here in Iowa and ends up getting the nomination, I will, as an Iowan, make like the Georgian farmers did regarding Carter and pony up the cash for a billboard that apologizes to the rest of the country.

Teddy? Hmmm…Maybe we should start referring to the Boston Bloviator as Mohammed(dy) Kennedy. Give the Islamaniacs someone else to fulminate over–but still linked with that blasphemous bear.
P.S. Did I ever mention here a possible derivation for the Massive Nuisance from Massivenuisance’s surname? A book of mine suggests it comes from the Gaelic ceannaideach, meaning “ugly-headed” (and no, I’m not making this up).
December 10th, 2007 at 3:14 AMUsing
Tancredo was never in with any intention of winning. He ran in order to make immigration part of the debate.
And now it is. Without Tom, we wouldn’t be discussing Guiliani and Romney’s sanctuary policies or Huckabee’s desire to have a sanctuary state if only the illegals would come to Arkansas. I think Tancredo could legitimately declare victory and go home, at this point.
I’ve met him. I like him. I voted for him when I lived in his district. But it’s an Arthur Branch for President sticker on the ass of my Toyota this time around.

I’ve taken it a couple of times and keep coming up with Mitt Romney. The next two are always Hunter and Tancredo in varying order depending upon how I tweak each issue’s level of importance, followed then by Huckabee in fourth.

I still say FRED! is the man. Cally was cute, and which model was Lucy Lawless? Oooowwwrrrr! #6 is very fine. Boomer is cute too! Razor was a brilliant flick(I had the dvd preordered, got it already), Lt Shaw would most definitely do in a pinch!

Nope. I missed IT. When the frack did it air, and why wasn’t I informed? &(*^*&^&%*%?!!!!
December 10th, 2007 at 8:14 AMUsing
I did the poll and got Duncan Hunter (It must have been how I rated immigration issues), followed by Romney, Tancredo, Huckabee, then Thompson.
Hunter doesn’t hold back on the boarder and the effects of illegals. He represents San Diego, so his district is on the front line. It’s probably his strict stand on border security that scares most people away. Too bad.
I’m hoping this Huckabee surge is just a flash in the pan media hyped thing and he falls off before the party gets screwed up more than they are now.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:38 AMUsing
It aired November 24th, IIRC. Late November, for sure. The DVD is out, I’m sure you could find it at a Border’s or Best Buy.

Don’t worry about Huckabee; he’s running for VP. I’m supporting Thompson since he’s the only guy who talks like he actually knows what federalism means - that there are some things which are none of the federal government’s business.
Huck’s tax plan is the greatest thing since steak, though.

Please, oh, please Dear G-D,

I took it and got Hunter. The more I hear/read about the man the more I like em. But until he figures out how to get more traction Fred is still in the #1 spot. (Hunter as VP?). Huckabee is sounding more like a cross between Perot and Clinton with each passing day.
December 10th, 2007 at 3:54 PMUsing
As for Razor, amazon.com has it. That’s where I pre-ordered it, got it 2 days after the release. As for POTUS, FRED!!!!
December 10th, 2007 at 4:53 PMUsing
I don’t comment much on the blogs (not even my own) due to work and family demands. That being said, I feel pretty strongly about this. Huckabee would be as big of a disaster as John McCain, only more so because he would hide it under the veneer of a Southern Baptist preacher.
Frankly, I’d rather have the Hildebeest than either McCain or Huckleberry. At least that way, we would all know what we were getting.

Welcome to the Rott! Hope we’ll hear from you more often.
As far as getting the Hildebeest, well, not being an American does not affect me as much (but still does!), however it would be like being thrown in a deep hole with a cobra and 2 other venomous snakes of unknown species. Regardless, I’d consider myself pretty much screwed just the same…
