Romney: Huckabee Would "Make a Fine President"
Not too long ago, Mitt Romney said:

It's funny how supporters of Mike Up-Chuck-abee have consistently attacked everything that Mitt Romney has said in the past, and now you want to quote Romney for your own purposes. It's funny how everything that he said wrong was in the distant past. This quote would not be an exception. If Up-Chuck-abee gets on the ticket somehow, I will register as a Democrat & do the Ann Coulter thing.
Anyway, my point is that Up-Chuck-abee supporters just prove that Mitt used to be moderate to liberal. That has always been the argument of Up-Chuck-abee supporters, and this quote would only help to validate that reasoning. Now, that Romney has become a Conservative, I can't imagine a scenario in which he would say such a stupid quote ever again. Go McCain!
Because Huckabee supporters are unable to read....from Mike's website under "Sanctity of Life":
"As Governor, I did all I could to protect life. The many pro-life laws I got through my Democrat legislature are the accomplishments that give me the most pride and personal satisfaction. To me, life doesn't begin at conception and end at birth. Every child deserves a quality education, first-rate health care, decent housing in a safe neighborhood, and clean air and drinking water. Every child deserves the opportunity to discover and use his God-given gifts and talents."
I am amazed he did not include candy from the tooth fairy. Hillary Clinton could have written many of those words. Stopping the murder of the unborn is indeed conservative. Providing every social program that you can think of is by definition, not conservatism.
This from a couple of minutes on his website. Huckabee does not understand the first thing about conservatism and neither do his supporters if they think he is conservative. I would bet that if I could stomach it longer I could find dozens of stupid, leftist policy pronouncements that could be taken directly from Hillary's web site as well.
"Now, that Romney has become a Conservative, I can't imagine a scenario in which he would say such a stupid quote ever again."
If I am reading you correctly, as recently as 2 1/2 years ago, Mitt Romney was still a liberal, right? As such, in the space of 2 1/2 years he transformed from a liberal to a true-blue conservative, correct?
BTW, Zeus, facts are stubborn things.
As Governor, I did all I could to protect life. The many pro-life laws I got through my Democrat legislature are the accomplishments that give me the most pride and personal satisfaction.

What about the above statement isn't conservative? Do you think that just because someone mentions education, health care or clean air and water that makes them liberal? At least he's not on the Global Warming bandwagon with Al Gore like McCain! For you to say that he sounds like Obama or Hillary is ridiculous or would you have me believe that they would be proud of their accomplishments for pro-life legislation? Come on!!! It seems to me you've been listening too much to conservative talk radio. Read the above statement again without the preconceived notions that Rush or Sean put in your head and you will see that there's nothing in that statement that labels Mike Huckabee liberal. Obviously, I am quite capable of reading and I won't stoop to your level and call you illiterate but, I must call you too easily influenced by others.
"Uses her own brain" "mentions education, health care or clean air and water that makes them liberal?"
Mentions? What exactly is the purpose of "mentioning" socialist ideas under the heading "issues" on your website? Have you read his issues pages?
He didn't specify how, as President he would provide these things so I should simply assume that he intends, not to use the power of government but prayer, perhaps?
Ok, how about under "agriculture":As a percentage of national income, we spend only half as much on food as people in other developed countries. Subsidies help keep our food costs low by keeping production levels high.
Farm subsidies are conservative?
How about "energy independence": We will set aside a federal research and development budget that will be matched by the private sector to seek the best new products in alternative fuels. Our free market will sort out what makes the most sense economically and will reward consumer preferences.
"A federal research budget"? More conservatism? From Hillary's Clinton's web site on "energy independence":"A $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund, paid for in part by oil companies, to fund investments in alternative energy. The SEF will finance one-third of the $150 billon ten-year investment in a new energy future contained in this plan"
The only difference in these two approaches is that Hillary put an actual dollar amount to it while Huckabee doesn't really say how much it will cost, except that "oil companies will pay half"
To be fair he does mention some good conservative ideas. But to also be fair, you can't ignore all the liberal positions either.
You won't "stoop to my level" but will claim that Rush/Hannity/talk radio speak for me rather than address the argument I put forth? Figures.
This is from a very few minutes on Huckabee's official web site. I am certain that I could find tons more.
My point is that you and other moronic supporters of Confederate CHRISTIAN LEADER have attacked Romney repeatedly, by saying that he's a flip-flopper & that it took him forever to come to the correct positions. You and other Up-Chuck-abee supporters have said that Romney used to be a liberal. Now, you want to quote Romney for your own gain.
That is just poetic justice that you now realize that no Romney supporter on the planet will be dumb enough to vote for Up-Chuck-abee or any Presidential Ticket that has Up-Chuck-abee on it. Begging for our support won't get you very far. Don't come around now trying to brown-nose your way into getting on our good side. EVERY Romney supporter will support McCain over Up-Chuck-abee, even though McCain has long openly loathed Romney. At least McCain has one brain cell. I can't say that about Up-Chuck-abee.
I wouldn't vote Up-Chuck-abee for garbage man. And I'd be skeptical of the guy if I managed a McDonald's and Up-Chuck-abee came in applying for a job. He is about as worthless of a human being as is humanly possible. Up-Chuck-abee is a complete waste of human space and makes an extremely pro-life person, like myself, almost think that maybe God could have made one exception when it came to Up-Chuck-abee's mother having him.
Now, when it comes time for you to vote, and you vote for Up-Chuck-abee only because he says that he is a CHRISTIAN LEADER, even though I always believed that the CHRISTIAN LEADER was one named Jesus of Nazareth, you will have the right to vote for Up-Chuck-abee. It is a free country, and you and all other Democrats are free to be as dumb as you want.
I am quoting Romney's own words. Either (a) he meant it then, or (b) he was lying. Either way, Mitt is at best a flip-flopper or at worst a condescending liar.
Again, these are his words, not mine.
Again my point is if Mitt was as bad as you've made him out to be, why would you be quoting him for your own candidate's well being?
I'll try to make it simpler for you. I understand that math isn't the strong suit for Up-Chuck-abee, so it's probably not too easy for his supporters either. So, I'll make a comparison.
If Hilter endorsed your campaign, would you go out bragging about it. Well, we'd hope not. Well, Up-Chuck-abee and his supporters, including you, have constantly attacked Mitt Romney for being wrong in the past. Now, I'm not going to go as far as saying that Up-Chuck-abee or his supporters have compared Romney to Hitler, but from the things said by Up-Chuck-abee it would almost be just as bad. Now you want to say that Romney was actually right in the past? But of course, it's only to cherry pick Romney's previous comments for your own benefit. Is this your "Even Hitler ran the trains on time" moment? If Romney was so wrong previously in the deranged mind of Up-Chuck-abee or of his supporters, why would he have been right about this?
Also, if we're talking about judges of character, let's talk about pardons, and what Up-Chuck-abee said about the murderers he let go. Oh yeah, I forgot, Up-Chuck-abee refuses to take responsibility for his actions.
By the way, and not to rain on your parade, but Mike Huckabee is not really Jesus. I'm sorry to let you know this way. I mean, even though he keeps trying to imply that he's Jesus, it doesn't make it so.
"Again my point is if Mitt was as bad as you've made him out to be, why would you be quoting him for your own candidate's well being?"
Because it is in my candidate's best interest.
As for your Hitler analogy, the last time I checked, Mitt Romney never invaded the territory of a neighboring state nor did Mr. Romney kill millions of Jews. So I will demur on your analogy.
Ok. We'll agree that it would be in your candidate's best interest to try and muster as much support from people who supported Mitt Romney. But since Mike Up-Chuck-abee is a simple-minded religious bigot who attacked Mitt Romney's faith and in so doing attacked the faith of many of Romney's supporters, it would be impossible to expect such a thing. And I'm sure that the great majority of Romney supporters who don't share Romney's faith would agree that anybody willing to attack the faiths of any Americans is not worthy to be President of the United States. McCain truly becomes the lesser of two evils against Mike Up-Chuck-abee. And McCain actually comes out looking like an angel against Up-Chuck-abee. Against Up-Chuck-abee, even Obama would even become the lesser of two evils. There is not a single candidate who would sink to the levels that Confederate "CHRISTIAN LEADER" has.
Up-Chuck-abee's Iowa strategy consisted of: attack Mormons as not being Christian, then remind voters that Up-Chuck-abee actually believes that he is Jesus. And the voters get the idea that if they vote for Romney, they would be voting for a non-Christian cultish heathen. And if they don't vote for Up-Chuck-abee then they're actually voting against Jesus Himself.
I would hope that you have at least wanted to vomit a little bit when you've seen the way in which Up-Chuck-abee has blasphemed God. Even yesterday, he once again tried to imply the God had endorsed his campaign by calling it a miracle that he won in Kansas. I think that Ahmadinajad has said that he won in Iran because of God too. The only difference is that one crazy speaks English as his first language and the other one speaks Farsi.
How did it make you feel when Up-Chuck-abee implied that he actually wrote the Holy Bible by autographing a copy of it a few weeks ago? Maybe Up-Chuck-abee wasn't expecting that the New York Times would run a photograph of him autographing the Bible? When have you ever heard of a person autographing a book that he or she did not write? Or at least appear in? Well, since Up-Chuck-abee keeps comparing himself to David against Goliath and Job and Jesus Himself, maybe your stupid candidate actually does believe that he appeared in the Bible and/or that he actually did write the book?
