The stuff about Huck is just superfluous. Isn’t this his modus operandi anyway?

Sorry Huck, but you’re no leader.

.

There you go again with the “I know for a fact” bit again. You have yet to say how you know for a fact, unless you count that incomprehensible tweet you sent out.

Nonetheless, you are absolutely, positively, 1000% sure of your reasoning, and then expect people to believe you without ANY supporting evidence. Now if you are so certain of your accusations, then I have little doubt that you would be ill prepared to show your evidence. But this article makes it the second piece in a row without a hint of evidence (unless you count hearsay).

You seem to be discrediting yourself with every successive article you write.

I have “conservative” friends who say, “but he plays the bass. He’s a musician. He must be okay.”

As if there are no slippery musicians out there.

huck and newt…birds of a feather on this one.

that Gov. Huckabee “had decided not to endorse Hoffman because he was directing the resources of his political action committee, Huck PAC, to Republican campaigns” ? Sarah’s explanation goes along with “Our Mission” posted under the “About” link at HuckPAC. Huckabee said during his interview with Cavuto that he agrees on the issues more with Huffman. The fact that he didn’t endorse Huffman’s RINO competitor speaks volumes.

neither Romney or Huckabee should change their stance. It would look like their hand was forced. Their instincts did not lead them to support Hoffman, and that is more telling than if they did an about-face.

The line in the sand has been drawn.

IMO, Huck’s support of “conservative Republicans” through HuckPAC is just political (gaining support of pols and organizations within the party to secure the nomination), and not ideological in nature. That’s not to say that that’s necessarily wrong or evil, but it should be noted that not endorsing a candidate who can’t really help Huck personally through support or caucus votes fits Huck’s MO perfectly, and probably has nothing to do with the CfG.

There’s still a lot of wannabe mainstream Republicans who are afraid of the big bucks in the pockets of the Rocky Repubs. What I dislike about the huckster is his ‘good ol boy, just one of the guys’ image building. He strikes me as the kind of Republican that would put a finger in the wind to see what’s selling to the public today and couch his manufactured opinion to the way the wind happens to be blowing.

He’s too close to a RINO to be the kind of guy we’ll need to take apart the federal government and roll back the socialist programs now being instituted. And this comes from a fellow bass player!

to the Republican Party that:

We want the Republican Party to succeed.

We want the Republican Party to recognize Conservatives and their principles.

We want sitting Republicans to realize they are going to have to win us over and not expect our fidelity based upon them being Republicans.

We want Republican candidates to pass muster with our point of view.

We want Republicans to understand that the Conservatives are here and we WILL be heard!

While Huck is rightly being lambasted for being politically two-faced on NY-23, and I certainly love getting a good swipe at the moron every now and again, Romney is also quite deserving of a smackdown. (I’d add that Ron Paul should given the smackdown for his failure to mobilize his supporters to help Hoffman in NY-23, but really, when is RP *not* deserving of a smackdown?)

1) There certainly is overlap between CfG, Fred endorsements and Huck endorsements. Huck endorsed CfG-backed Tom McClintock even though McClintock had endorsed Fred a year before. This suggests the “ego” argument is not completely accurate.

2) Chris Maiorana who is close to the Huck campaign is also denying that it has anything to do with CfG and Fred.

3) I believe it is Huckpac’s current policy to only endorse conservative Republicans. Of course Huck can give an unofficial seal of approval to Hoffman (as he has done), but it is wise to maintain at least some distinction (however subtle) in order to keep “third-partyism” in check. Remember, it may be possible to win the battle but lose the war. Regardless, Huck’s personal preference is Hoffman.

4) This post should be a note to both Huckabee and Romney, as they are the frontrunners (Huck as currently at 32% followed by Palin at 22% and Romney at 21%). At least Huckabee is openly praising Hoffman on television.

5) It would be interesting to see how many conservatives in total Huck has endorsed when compared to Palin, Romney, Pawlenty, etc. My guess is that he has endorsed more. One should look holistically at a person’s set of actions. For instance, Palin has not endorsed Rubio.

According to everyone on here, Huckabee is just a big-spending, liberal twit, so why do you give a rip about who he does and doesn’t support?

Like Mitt Romney?

“And we will remember in 2012.” Could not agree more. Personally, I have a speciallist of those relegated to political purgatory until I see actions befitting a true conservative. I accept no excuse for faillure to endorse Hoffman.

I just can’t warm up to him. I suppose I have the same feelings that way that the folks who are cold to Mitt Romney have. I generally agree with what Erick has written here.

This line struck me, however.

“Neither is qualified as a leader of conservatives when they will not support Doug Hoffman.”

Are we a Republican supporting site, or a conservative supporting site? IMHO, we should support conservatives, and so should the Republican party. There really shouldn’t be a difference. When there is, on a case-by-case basis, we have to choose the conservative if the Republican is a RINO.

As a party, if we nominate a RINO for national office we are initiating our own defeat. Republicans ARE conservative on almost all issues. Fall too far off that wagon, and they should be “Hoffmaned” by the rest of us.

If Huckabee and Romney don’t recognize that, they are confused and deficient.

if Anteater replies on a Huck post, then I’m sure Huck got hit in the eye with a correct, justifiable, and devastating attack.

Because that’s the only time Anteater ever posts around here.

and didn’t receive a reply! It really seem he would rather sit on the sideline ….
