Mike Huckabee? Again?

THAT’S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE …

|| By FITSNEWS ||  For the third election cycle, former Arkansas governor and Fox News’ host Mike Huckabee is seriously weighing a bid for the presidency of the United States.

That’s right … the United States.  Not the monthly meeting of the “ignorant tight-ass club.”

In fact Huckabee (who nearly won the 2008 “First in the South” Republican presidential primary) is so serious about keeping his options open that he’s giving up his gig with the network.

“There’s been a great deal of speculation as to whether I would run for president,” Huckabee said this week on his show, which has run since 2008.  “And if I were willing to absolutely rule that out, I could keep doing this show.  But I can’t make such a declaration.”

According to Real Clear Politics, Huckabee “has reactivated his tight-knit team of advisers and taken several other the behind-the-scenes steps that suggest he is indeed serious about launching a second White House bid.”

Well, well …

Previously, Huckabee has said he was waiting on God to tell him whether to run for president …

In 2012, God apparently said “no.”

“Under the best of circumstances being president is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity,” Huckabee said at the time. “For me to do it apart from an inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God’s full blessing is simply unthinkable.”

Ummmm … okay.

In Huckabee’s absence, fellow social conservative Rick Santorum emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the 2012 “Republican” primary – luring legions of impressionable voters in early-voting Iowa and South Carolina.  For what it’s worth Santorum – who’s been out of elected office since being ousted from the U.S. Senate in 2006 – is keeping his 2016 options open.

Both of these candidates are worthless in our book …

Santorum was a fiscal liberal during his tenure in the U.S. Senate, while Huckabee was a fiscal liberal during his tenure as governor of Arkansas.  Neither candidate has demonstrated anything resembling the sort of commitment to individual taxpayers, individual liberty or the free market that we need to see from a credible presidential contender.

Huckabee is also a strong supporter of the federal government’s invasive “Common Core” curriculum – which will hurt him with many of the far right voters who would otherwise consider backing his candidacy (as it will hurt the candidacy of recently anointed GOP frontrunner Jeb Bush).

Oh, and he’s got problems on the immigration issue too … which appears as though it will be quite the hot button topic this election cycle.

Frankly, we wish candidates like Santorum and Huckabee would just go away … however their ongoing relevance within the GOP primary cycle (especially in early-voting Iowa and South Carolina) helps hasten the demise of the “Republican” brand.

Which as we’ve previously noted is just fine with us …

After all, “Republican” rule ain’t what it used to be.

FITS still B!*ching about the 2008 SC Primary. Maybe he blames SC Primary voters for McCain not choosing Sanford as his VP candidate.

FITS, you B!*c#ed because Bush burned McCain a new on in 2000. But Bush WON the presidential election twice. Your guy McCain won in 2008..and F*#ked it up. He – as you are famous for – could not quit gushing about how he “LIKED” Obama. …leaving the country to Obama and the Democrat Party to make a mess of…

Quit whining about McCain losing and STFU…You lose because you are too similar to the liberals you are supposed to be attacking….

FITS is right-it ain’t what it used to be since faux Republican/RINO/Obama lover McCain went up in flames. Since 2008 Republicans have gained:

11 senate seats
75 house seats
9 gov’s
1500+ seats in state legislatures and for the first time since the Civil war a majority in BOTH the house and senate legislatures.

Republicans are busting some FITS/RINO?DEM ass and they just can’t stand it. :-)

Need someone with a starting point that does not make the electorate on opposite ends of the political spectrum either love you or hate you.

Nice post. I tend to agree with your assessment. I appreciate Mike’s faith and stand on issues of life however the party needs a candidate that appeals across the board-that can build trust with the electorate and take advantage of the countries distrust of Obama and the Democrat Party in protecting our homeland and improving our economy.

My ‘sources’ also told me Mike ran a ‘whisper’ campaign about Romney and his Mormon faith in evangelical churches which is why the turnout was so low in 2012 by Biblical Christians.

In other words, pretending to run for President is more lucrative than a useless spot on FoxNews. Every four years these charlatans, like Huckabee, Trump, Gingrich, Santorium, etc, pop up claiming they want to be President (as if). Dipshits like FitsNews will promote them. They’ll “write” a book and collect that PAC money. Then go back to squeezing the regular marks.

Nor do Republicans need unvetted candidates who have the potential to implode or bring disgrace to the GOP. Republicans need serious and electable candidates who will follow the will of the voters and bring meaningful conservative change to DC.

“Mike Huckabee again.” HELL YES, But let’s get it right this time. Don’t let Fred Thompson be a decoy for McCain, Don’t give Taliban Santorum a chance. This country needs a common sense conservative for a welcome change. Although Huckabee isn’t as conservative as I would like, he likes the internet sales tax for one thing, he is conservative enough to carry the conservative banner and at the same time get enough mushy middle moderates to make a majority. The main thing we as Republicans have to do in 2016 is win back the White House. Huckabee is electable while still standing for conservative values. The 2016 campaign needs to start with a reality check. As much as we would like a Cruz or Paul we have to overcome the Bush and Christi types . Huckabee can assume the middle ground while still being a conservative.
