Huckabee
He catching all kinds of shit, for some AIDS comments he made 15 years ago, when there were still some unanswered questions about the virus..
"As a Senate candidate in 1992, Huckabee told the AP News in a questionnaire that "we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague" if the federal government was going to deal with the spread of the disease effectively. "It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue instead of the true health crisis it represents," he said then.
In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Huckabee denied that those words were a call to quarantine the AIDS population, although he did not explain how else isolation would be achieved. "I didn't say we should quarantine," he said. The idea was not to "lock people up."
"I still believe this today," Huckabee said Sunday, that "we were acting more out of political correctness" in responding to the AIDS crisis. "I don't run from it, I don't recant it," he said of his position in 1992.
His comments referred to how much funding AIDS research and treatment receives, vs. other diseases that effect allot more lives, and are not generally preventable as AIDS is.
I would say he nailed that one!!
Anybody supporting this guy?

As I said in the other thread, I'm by him. As of right now hes got my vote.
I love his tax ideas and hes the only one that seems like more than just a bobble head. Gulianni (sp?) is a douche bag and if I have to hear one more time about how he saved the day at 9-11 I'm gonna puke!

Mikes got humor
He can tells the news to "F" off, in his own way
Immigration? BULLSEYE!
Energy Platform? Common Sense hits this one out of the park!
I'm old enough to remember sitting in line for HOURS to be gas in the 70's, and I remember being only to purchase gas every other day ( it depended if the last number on your license plate was odd, or even) in the 80's.
NOBODY has fixed the issue of being dependant on forgien oil in the last 30+ years... Lets hope Huckabee is serious about this issue NOW!

Huck was a big fat-so at one time... lost all the weight..wrote a book...
"Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork: A 12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle"
The subtitle of this book is "A 12-Stop Program To End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle". That's a 12-Stop program, not a 12-Step program.
Mike Huckabee's 12 Stops are:
1. STOP Procrastinating.
2. STOP Making Excuses.
3. STOP Sitting on the Couch.
4. STOP Ignoring Signals from Your Body.
5. STOP Listening to Destructive Criticism.
6. STOP Expecting Immediate Success.
7. STOP Whining.
8. STOP Making Exceptions.
9. STOP Storing Provisions for Failure.
10. STOP Fueling with Contaminated Food.
11. STOP Allowing Food to Be A Reward.
12. STOP Neglecting Your Spiritual Health.
Another reason to like the man...

its funny because my wife is a big ol' lefty and she even likes this guy. She says she tired of it being about left vs. right. This guy is all about coming together for the greater good instead of arguing and pointing fingers and that is what this counrtry needs.
Plus he will actually answer the questions he is being asked unlike pretty much all of the other candidates.
