Opinion of the Candidate - Mike Huckabee

[Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred]

If you're a diehard Democrat with a perpetual hard-on at the thought of having a Dem in the WH in 2008, your opinion on Huckabee should be largely positive.  In fact, you should be sending him money.

He seems like a nice fellow and an effective campaigner. Politically, he's against nearly everything I'm for, and vice versa.

If he believes some of the things he says, he's not intellectually qualified to be President. If he doesn't, he's pandering to the lowest common denominator. If he gets the nomination, I see the potential for a lot of anti-egghead, "liberal elitist" talk that I find so tiresome.

When I first saw him I thought he seemed like a nice guy and was affable and I had a positive view.

But after finding out more he really gives me the creeps. Like his views on women needing to be subservient. Just today I saw this quote from a book he wrote

Saving the environment is like drug abuse...wtf? Did he read that in The Book Of Exxon?

In the same book he equated homosexuality with necrophilia. This guy has a good ol boy charm, but underneath is batsh**t crazy fundamentalism just as scary as any member of the Taliban.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Very Negative. He represents the new Republican Party, not the Republican Party of old. He is a right wing Christian fundamentalist who will destroy the Party if he gets the Republican Nomination in 2008, which anyone of the candidates would do. Despite his policy flaws he does seem like a nice guy but in politics we don't vote for nice guys.
