Mike Huckabee: Another Hater Who Wants To Be POTUS

[Madeline]

After winning Iowa's precinct caucuses in the last election cycle, Huckabee quickly faded and he's now working as a television and radio commentator. But he makes it clear he's thinking of another run for the GOP presidential nomination.

"Am I keeping the option open? Yes," Huckabee said. "Am I open to considering it? Of course I am, I would be foolish not to in light of what I've been through."
He noted that he's in a much different place than four years ago, when he said he was "an asterisk in the polls."
"This time in most of the national polls I'm either at the top or near the top and that certainly is a different position to be in," he said.
Huckabee said he wasn't sure about a timetable for reaching a decision, but it's likely that potential Republican candidates will begin making their intentions clear early next year. "Ask me in six months and I'll have a clearer answer," he said.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday that Iowa voters likely launched a national movement when ousting three state Supreme Court justices who agreed with a decision to strike a ban on gay marriage.
Huckabee was in Des Moines courting evangelical conservatives who pushed him to victory in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses in the last election.

"The significance and historic nature of the judicial elections here in Iowa were far bigger than the borders of Iowa," he said. "It was a very important statement that voters made, a statement that resonated across the country and one that I think will give legs to a larger movement over the next few years."

Ugh.

Your thoughts, folks?

 

[Revere]

I want a hater who can win!

What would Muhammad do?

 

[Sunni Man]

Why does his stance against gay marriage make him a hater?

Can't a person disagree with gay marriage and not be labeled a hater?

Then what you want is to live elsewhere. May I recommend North Korea?

I think Maddie accuses people she hates of hating. How stupid, and how sad.

 

[GHook93]

I don't think Mady has ever heard Huck! He is anything but a hater. He is extremely level headed and calm. He is also a fair tax man. I would vote for him!

I think gays have a better deal here than in North Korea.

I think Huckabee would like that to change.

And I think you mean "almost any Arab country."

Another hate thread from the blue hater.

Mike Huckabee may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he is hardly a hater.

He is a person with deep religious convictions, and seems to be a genuinely decent guy. I am not inclined to vote for him, btw.

Gays have no rights here? Compared to what Arab country?

Hater = don't accept a wide open body of "rights" for everyone to do anything.

I think you want to outlaw heterosexuality and force everyone into the gay lifestyle.

Can't a person disagree will gay marriage and not be labeled a hater?

I wouldn't say that everyone who opposes gay marriage is a "hater" and I don't know Huckabee well enough to say one way or the other.

But there are only two reasons I can think of why someone would oppose gay marriage. Ignorance and fear. And either of those can lead to hate.

Of course you do...and that would make a dandy RNC bumpersticker, I must say.

Well, we know Huckabee is ignorant. Among other things, he doesn't believe in evolution.
