WHORE!

This Man has no shame quite frankly he has become an embarrssment to all Arkansans , the fraud and political GOP fundraising (Crimes )he and the GOP of Arkansas, has committed should be front page news stories with true investigative reporters riding his ass with every public statement he utters . shame on them ....

"Here's the question: Can
Huckabee get away with
wiggling around ethical rules
on the national level as he
has done repeatedly in
Arkansas over the years?"

Remember the good results Beebe got from defining himself in his early campaign commercials? Many/most people in the state didn't know much about him, so he went on early with very positive barnyard images of a nice guy from humble beginnings. It made a huge difference for him in the election.

On the other hand, if voter's first exposure to someone they don't know is negative, that's hard to overcome. When the national press finally shines the light on Huckabee, the negatives will hurt.

Like Barak Obama, who most people don't know much about. This morning I learned on C-SPAN that he's a heavy smoker. So now I'm thinking twice about supporting him. That's silly of me, but when you don't know much about someone, don't have any strong attachment to someone, a few negatives like that can be all it takes to swing a vote to someone else.

(Sorry DBI. I know you love your smokes.)

That's not silly.
That's stupid.

Who cares if the guy smokes?
With all the problems facing
this nation, I'd hope we could
do a better job this time in
electing our President.

Sadly, it just shows what everyone expects of a Republican and a Christian Conservative.

Spirit...ugh! We are a nation ruled today mostly by non-smoking Christians, much like our Governor Money-Whore Huckabee. I'm thinking we'd all be better off if we returned to the days of tobacco chewing-smoking , cussing old devils who didn't know what the insides of a church looked like.

In our attempts to elect those doing excellent impressions of Boy Scouts, we've wound up with Bible thumping, supposedly clean living, paragons of virtue who at best, whore themselves out for money 24/7, ala Huckabee to worst, take bribes from lobbyists and try to seduce teenage boys, pass laws to kidnap and torture.

I'm ready for an imperfect person who remembers what the word honesty means. I'd rather have a man who loves whores, than one that IS one. I'd like to see a woman candidate who knows more about the Constitution than the Bible.

I want to see someone elected anywhere, at any time, who is honored by being elected to higher office and loves their country more than they love their own ego and or bank account.

One has to think Huckabuck sought higher office for personal aggrandizing rather than a desire to serve the people of Arkansas. His actions certainly would back my idea up to the hilt.

There was a time you could retire on a million dollars and being elected Governor was enough honor and celebrity for most folks. If Orval and Win Rockefeller lusted after the White House, they kept it to themselves.

P.T. Barnum would have loved Mike Huckabee! Our egomaniac Governor no doubt has made plans to be King after he gets to the White House and God soon after he gets tired of being King.

Is there an end to his ego? Hell no! He sees something in the mirror that no one else sees. I think it's time he gets a new mirror.

We'd all be much better off if we returned to the days when our elected officials might drink too much, smoke or unzip where they shouldn't. The vices of the old guys sometimes hurt them.

The ethical lapses today involve money, power, war and torture. The new vices are clearly hurting us all. I'll gladly take a stained blue dress over a crooked Congress and a war for oil in Iraq.

I like knowing a politician isn't afraid to show the world he's human. If we keep on demanding that our presidential candidates be devoid of all those flaws that make us human (and happy), we're going to end up with more lying caricatures like monkeyboy. Though we all know that he, like most of us, lived a lively young life; he, unlike most of us, had the family/money to make his Texas driving record disappear. ONCE AGAIN...it's the hypocritical cover-up, not the human failings, that doesn't sit well with the American public.

Oddly enough, the one instance I actually had some respect for Bush was when his Judas-like friend released private phone conversations in which Bush showed concern that his drug use would be a bad example for young people. But the truth is that it's the cover-ups/twisted excuses (like Clinton's 'I didn't inhale') that set a much worse example for 'young people' than straight-forward acknowledgments of human flaws. All those silly excuses do is reveal their authors to be liars and, well, clueless about the nature of the American people.

Should either party drag up the so-called 'perfect' candidate...some one who's never got high/drunk or had great sex, or made a relationship mistake, or just screwed up...I wouldn't want that person as a friend, much less leading the country. Real life experiences make us people worth knowing and the quest for unnatural perfection is a myth that's given us a culture of plastic artificialness.

So...Barak's middle name is Hussein and he smokes cigarettes...boy Rove's (or Hillary's) gang must have worked overtime to drag up all that dirt.

ANYONE the dems put forth will be my choice. After what the Republicans have done to the world and our country, it'll be a cold day in hell before I'll support a presidential candidate of theirs (and just a few years ago I would have voted for McCain).

I was making the point that that's the type thing many voters let swing their votes. Yes, it's stupid, but that's real-world democracy, for what it's worth.

It could really hurt Huckabee if many people's first information on him is negative publicity. Even later, since they don't know him well, any little negative that comes out can be enough to send voters chasing someone else.

zelda, i agree. i would vote for the proverbal yellow or blue or whatever color dog than vote for a rethuglican. there have been elections that i have not voted in some races but i will not mark the ones with an r by their name since the vow i made because of nixon. i was a smoker and my dr is 98% sure it caused my 1st heart attack and i stopped but i still love the smell.
we have to do what we can to make the rest of the country aware of the intentions and shortcomings of huckabee. his ethics problems, dumond, gimme gimme. i still believe that with his speeches to the so-called christains that if elected the fallwels and others would have free run of the country and no seperation of church and state as he told the group in florida. he may be the most dangerous man ever to try to run for this office. he will try to be huey long with a church. in a lot of ways he trys to sound like a populist or libertarian but he would not be that way in office.

The sad truth is that you're correct, spirit; there are people who won't vote for him simply 'cause he smokes. But I don't know if 'these' voters are the so-called swing voters. Perhaps it's just my prejudices, but I think most of those puritannical anal types have already chosen a side...and it ain't the side of Hillary or Barak...or zelda.

The sad truth is that more
people will not vote for him
just because he's black. That
will cost him more votes than
smoking. Of course, you will
also have people who will
vote for him because he's
black or because he smokes.

It's scary enough when
people in general think this
way. It's even more scary
when someone on this blog
actually thinks twice about
supporting a smoker.

How many of our state
politicians smoke? I know
Win Rockefeller did. Maybe
we need more smokers in office?

"his morning I learned on C-SPAN that he's a heavy smoker. "

Does he smoke more than Laura Bush?

You gotta wonder how much a human body smokes when it's blown to bits in Iraq? No doubt exploding bodies release all kinds of harmful toxic gunk into the air.

I sorta figure you can't tell much difference between the smoking scattered pieces of a black man vs the smoking scattered pieces of a white man. Either way our non-smoking President has broken a lot of mother's hearts.

GASP!! Say it ain't so!

A few years ago we had a pastor at the local Methodist church whose wife smoked. A crack appeared in the church's basement foundation the first time she lit up. Never been the same since.
