I (Don’t) Like (M)Ike

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 11:25 pm

I used to complain about the fact that one innocent person is dead because Mike Huckabee was once governor of Arkansas. I regret to say that I was off by a factor of five (so far?).

UPDATE: More at Hot Air.

    I guess this means we’ll be seeing someone dust off the Willie Horton ad come primary season.

    One can only hope. Where’s Al Gore when we need him?

    I’ve never liked him, or the GOP support of him, ever since his hatchet job on Mitt in the ’08 run-up. Someone who is a self-professed evangelical minister calling someone else a religious fanatic smacks VERY LOUDLY of hypocracy.

    I just hope that Fox has the stones to allow callers to ask questions & hold his feet to the fire during his (daily? weekly?) show. And then soon afterwards, to out-and-out fire him.

    Huckabee is about as “social con” as Garrison Keillor. He’s a nanny-state RINO who gets away with masquerading as a member of the Religious Right only because he happens to be a Southern Baptist with kids who look like they grew up thinking mayonnaise is a food group.

    There are only two kinds of people who can now continue to call him a conservative: those who don’t know any better, or those for whom the truth is secondary to scoring political points.

  5. Xrlq Says:

    I’d add a third group: members of the religious right who only care about the issues that make it the religious right (abortion, prayer in school, etc.) and don’t give a rat’s patoot about the rest.

  6. McGehee Says:

    If those people consider themselves conservatives, they’re lying to themselves.

    (It would be fun to see somebody say the above at a Baptist picnic.)

    There never has been a very strong connection between social conservatism and fiscal conservatism. Many fiscal conservatives are for abortion, gay marriage and legalization of drugs. Many social conservatives believe the government should take care of people like a big family.

    It’s no surprise that you get people in politics who represent this large class of people. That’s why it is important to expose them early and often so that full-on conservatives don’t vote for them accidentally in the primaries like many did for George Bush. Of course in that case, many felt that he was the lesser of two evils and that we could always nominate the greater evil in eight years.

    Wow, Glad to see that ain’t the only one!

    Oh and, if you were a nice guy, you’d add me to the blogroll. ;)
