Rob, I think you’re once again reading into this.  Huckabee is exactly correct to note that, whatever the “official” status is, that Pakistan is looking an awful lot today like it’s under martial law.  Let’s not get bogged down in the specific technicalities here; the troops are in the streets.

Moreover, Huckabee is also correct to note that today is not the day to pound on the door and demand accounting for the foreign aid and so on that have been given to Pakistan.  Today is a day to mourn the cold blooded murder of a courageous (though certainly not perfect) leader.

In other words, Huckabee here is showing what’s historically known as “tact,” which at least used to be critical in diplomacy.

I don’t believe Huckabee is clueless. I’ve seen the Socialist roots of his stance on illegal aliens, taxes, crime, and national health care - and heard his insulting comments about Bush - arrogant bunker mentality, Rush - DC Liberal insider, etc, etc, and I think he doesn’t want to say what he would do because it is Socialist, and he doesn’t want to alienate any more GOP voters.

He’ll never get MY vote!

But the Huckster did stay at a Holiday Inn Express!  That makes him the equal of all the other GOP candidates when it comes to foreign policy right?

Seriously though, I still believe this whole Huckabee surge is something the media has created out of whole cloth.  I don’t think IA and NH are going to be as kind as they hope it will be to Huckabee.

More importantly, Huck says that, “he isn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of investment banks”.

Large portions of the media are wholly owned subsidiaries of investment banks so, it is hard to believe that they would be responsible for Huck’s rise.

Look for Pervez Musharraf to be Time’s person of the year next.

First Off I am not, nor will not, vote for Huckabee.  That said, I agree with Bike Bubba.  I think we sometimes try and read into too much of what all the candidates say and at a time like this, making verbal assumptions about a situation that is so fluid and could be in a complete different place in ‘09 shouldn’t be made.  However, Bush did not have any foreign diplomacy experience either, so I don’t think any of the candidates, both sides, should be slammed for that.

He made a bad choice of words when saying the U.S. needs to consider “what impact does it have on whether or not there’s going to be martial law continuing in Pakistan.” He should have said whether or not martial law will be reinstated – it was lifted nearly two weeks ago. A minor slip, maybe,

This is nothing that Bush doesn’t do at times.  Why is it so bad when Huckabee does it?  Do you have a consistent standard by which you measure those you approve?  Doesnt seem like it.  Therefore, your argument isn’t based on principles or standards you pretend to have for your president, its based on something else.

Notice how Huck slyly avoids taking any sort of a strong policy position on this issue.  Prudence?  Or the sign of someone who has no clue?

When campaigning for President, GWB was asked what he would in relation to nation building or in the event we needed to respond to war.  His response was he would do what was in America’s best interest.  What is the difference, Bush slyly avoids answering questions all the time.  Why do you have different standards?  Or, do you?

This is nothing that Bush doesn’t do at times.

Typical leftie BDS.  This thread is about Huckabee, not the President.  Newsflash: He isn’t running!

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

I just want to know why Huckleberry Hound “apologized for the assasination” on behalf of the American People.

What the hell do WE have to apologize for?

Is this in the same thread as “we need to stay in Iraq because we are the ones that made a mess of things”?

Is he trying to say that our “bunker mentality” caused this unrest in the Middle East and thus resulted in this assasination?

Huck is running on the Republican Ticket, isn’t he?

Huckleberry Hound

I think if my candidate’s name was “Willard Milton”, I’d be a little more careful about making fun of other candidate’s names!

Nothing; he is a clown.

Polling Update:

Latest Iowa Poll: Romney in statistical tie with Huckabee! (Strategic Vision)

Latest NH Poll: Romney SURGES to 14 point lead over McCain! (LA Times)

P.S., Just saw McCain on TV.  Man, he looks like he is about 90 years old.

Typical leftie BDS.  This thread is about Huckabee, not the President.  Newsflash: He isn’t running!

The thread is about a presidential candidate and how his responses reflect his leadership, dumbass.

If you can’t understand the connection between what a candidate running for president says today and what OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT SAID WHILE HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, than I can’t help you, or your stupid, fucking, ignorant thought process to sort it out.

It is not an argument beating up on Bush to defend a lefty.  It is not about beating up on Bush to beat up on Bush.  It is to draw a comparison between whom you approve of now vs. whom you don’t and then to show you their similarities to prove that the argument isn’t substantive.  IDIOT!

If you can’t understand the connection between what a candidate running
for president says today and what OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT SAID WHILE HE
WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT…

There is none, except in your BDS deranged mind.  Huck is a leftie masquerading as a Republican.

Who does he think he is; the governor of North Dakota?

Oh, how I wish Hucksterbee gets the GOP nomination. Unlikely, but what a gift to the Dems. A syphilitic idiot could put him to shame in a debate. Seventy percent of America is tired of his (and every other GOP white old dude’s) uber Bushism.
