Huckabee: The New Face of Conservatism?

I am concerned when people ask us to consider McCain because, "he is the least offensive." Picking the least offensive candidate or labeling our candidates is no way to pick a president. The labeling of our candidates has led a leading pundit to say: "Hillary can't win highest negatives of any candidate in history; Obama can't win no foreign affairs or military experience; Romney can't win 37% of the voters believe Mormons are a cult; McCain can't win, too old, too much baggage, Giuliani can't win, flawed personal life, waffling.”
Somebody is going to win. My hope is that the candidate we elect will be grounded, led by his principals. Huckabee seems to be the most comfortable with who he is, the most consistent in what be believes. I don't agree with him on all positions. But in the face of global instability I feel very comfortable that he will act in the best interests of the US and will be faithful and consistent in that commitment. That's Ronald Reagan's mantle.

Your gentle dig at the "non-interventionist" candidate is apparently aimed at Senator Paul of Texas.

Some of us who are conservatives have realized that going into foreign countries and beginning wars is not really the same thing as providing for U.S. defense. Iraq has become a civil war boondoggle that I'm not sure the U.S. CAN win and it's not really in our interests TO win there. There are no WMDs, Hussein is out of the picture, and there's no real proof bin Laden is there.

Our focus should be on economic policies of growth...eliminating taxes on investments, shrinking the bloated Federal government, and establishing sound money backed by gold or silver are solid steps in that direction.

As far as "choosing" between economic and social conservatism, with pro-life pro-free market Paul, why choose? You can have both...

Very apt article. Mike Huckabee will not only... finally give us a true, persuasive, and insprational leader in the cause of ending the 1.2M Americans per year holocaust. He also stands alone in having both the moral center and the breadth of field, to handle the changes we are seeing in America.

He will have the interests of all Americans at heart, when it comes to economic and trade policy. He will defend America while reaching out diplomatically. He will preserve what it means to be an American and defend our borders.

It would be a great shame to let this opportunity slip by. Please consider becoming actively involved. I have.

Mike Huckabee is a devisive candidate who will not bring together the Republican party. His 1033 pardons does not follow conservative principles. Likewise raising taxes does not follow conservative principles. His promoting of illegal immigration to help out his buddies at Tyson and Walmart are not positions liked by the Republican party. His claim of being the "Christian" candidate is very offensive. He shot himself in the foot. That is why people are flocking to McCain. McCain is seen as less offensive.
