It's no secret that I personally supported John McCain for president. I agreed with him on core issues and he and I are in the same party, but I also truly believe he's an extraordinary and honorable American hero. I campaigned hard for him — to the point of losing my voice in fact. But Americans elected Barack Obama and it's time to put the election behind us and the country in front of us.

Barack Obama wasn't my choice, but come January 20, he will be my president. I will pray for him and his family. I want him to be successful in leading our country. I will not seek to see all of his faults and none of his qualities.

Some of President Bush's harsh critics went beyond loyal opposition and engaged in angry, vile and mean-spirited hate.

Those of us who found that kind of attitude and behavior despicable can hardly engage in similar conduct toward a President Obama.

This one's for you, Mike Huckabee. One of the VERY VERY FEW decent and honorable people left in the open sewer of corruption and ignorance that is the Modern Republic Party.

This one's for you, honorable Mike Huckabee, from one Fellow American to Another:

(Freepers, Hannidiots and Savage Weiners avert your eyes...to watch two Americans proudly agree to disagree but loving their country more might burn your eyes to look)

:patriot: :patriot:

1. I may not agree with Mike on much but these are the people who will put America above politics

[tom_paine]

4. I know. What I can't believe is that the Hannidiots and Savage Weiners haven't tossed him out of

their small-circle jerk of morans. (sic)

Probably only a matter of time until they toss him out for heresy.

Hey Mike! You can join us Democrats if you want! We might not agree with you, be we will always listen to you when you speak your views reasonably.

:patriot:

[crispini]

2. Good man. nt

[nichomachus]

3. Well, Mike

If Obama starts a war based on lies, tortures people, spies on Americans, steal billions from the economy, kills hundreds of thousands or people -- feel free to be angry with him, because I know I will.

Mike Fuck-a-Bee is an asshole if he doesn't know why people said such nasty things about Bush.

[skypilot]

7. "Mike Fuck-a-Bee is an asshole if....

...he doesn't know why people said such nasty things about Bush."

That's actually the thing that most struck me about he piece. If he had mentioned the nastiness directed at Bill Clinton as well then I might be a little less weary of this article. It just kinda strikes me a bit like a Republican trying to sound as though he's taking the high road while taking a swipe at the left. I hope he's sincere but I have my doubts.

[AndrewP]

26. My bullshit radar is on full alert whenever Huckabee is talking

It doesn't seem much like a geniune thing when he is complaining that people were critical about Bush starting that war thing. You know, the faulty intelligence thing that led to thousand of innocent dead people.

Gee, go figure that someone might actually be critical about that, Mikey.

[newamericanpatriot]

5. yeah, we'll see....

Look how Palin's turned around 180 degrees from calling Obama a friend of terrorists. And Mchelle Bachman. All the crazies fall in line now. That's the conservative mindset. Instinctive kowtowing to authority. Until that authority crosses their ideological thresholds. Then it's back to rabid, snarling attack beasts again.

Mark my words, friends.

[tom_paine]

13. True, but my point was that Huckabee doesn't seem to be one of them.

Is he a Republic? Sure.

Is he a vile, loathesome, criminal Bushie? Looks like not.

But you are right, maybe he'll flip later on and join the rest of the Winged Monkey Brigade.

But that's later, this is now.

[Sal Minella]

25. Maybe not a Bushie, but he proudly bears the Fundy Banner struck from Sarah Palin's grip.

He's running for Prez in 2012 -- I heard on Iowa Public Radio he's already scheduling public appearances here, and an Iowa friend told me she saw a "Huckabee 2012" yard sign already -- so he will say what he has to say to try to make us forget he's a batshit fundy.

[DS1]

6. Bush earned the angry, vile, and mean-spirited hate with his own

angry, vile, and mean-spirited hate.

Fuck off, Huck.

[gratuitous]

21. You better believe it

Or does Huckabee think war crimes, crimes against humanity and shredding the constitution are to be greeted with flowers and candy? Angry? You betcha. Vile? I am indeed vile against the very notion of torture; its practice spins me into a whole new universe of vile where mean-spirited hate is a virtue.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

8. He seems to be a good guy.

Horribly misguided, but honorable nonetheless.

[southpaw]

9. Too bad he's a delusional fundiegelical nut-case.

[nichomachus]

12. Wow -- double redundancy

[southpaw]

14. I work in the department of redundancy department

[nugzie]

10. he's hard to dislike really...

and I think it's cute he's got a little band.

[southpaw]

11. Perfect!

"and I think it's cute he's got a little band."

That is such a perfect diss. Very much like our Southern tradition: "Bless his heart."

[nugzie]

16. haha, well i say that cuz

I grew up in Baptist church (it's okay, i made it out alive...) and he just reminds me of a youth pastor I might have. like the "cool" youth pastor, and you'd call him Pastor Mike, and he'd whip out his guitar and say things like "let's rock out for Jesus!" :headbang: ya know? like, he seems like he actually means well, just terribly misguided. :P

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Now, that's a man with whom I could share a beer

I might never vote for him, but I like Mike Huckabee.

:toast:

[AzDar]

17. Tired of making assassination jokes, Huckabee tries a different path.

Thenks but no thenks to that Fundie governor from Arkansas...

[tom_paine]

19. Hey, I didn't say we wuz' pickin' out curtains together.

He said a stupid thing. Maybe it WAS calculated and vile, though it could just have easily been not. Because, unlike McPalin, he didn't do it again and again and AGAIN.

Does that mean I now trust him completely? LOL. No, what it means is that he satnds out quite honorably, next to the contemptible sewer the Modern Repubic Party has become.

[wryter2000]

18. Well...

He is a Tower of Power fan.

[southpaw]

29. Of course he is! He's a bass player, after all.

And even a wacked-out fundamentalist loon can't deny the force of nature that is Rocco Prestia!

[wryter2000]

35. I figured that was the connection

I went to their 40th anniversary concert a couple of weeks ago. 3.5 hours long, and Rocco played the whole darned thing.

Nice to meet another TOP fan! :hi:

[Winterblues]

20. Yes and what was that he said about President Clinton again?

I'm sure it had nothiong to do with "angry, vile and mean-spirited hate."

[Maven]

22. Yeah, OK.

Whatever.

[fed_up_mother]

23. I actually watched his last show because he had Oliver Stone on

For a republican, he was like a breath of fresh air. No screaming. No hollering. No ridiculous charges. No attacks. I couldn't believe it.

I can't believe that his show will last very long on Faux.

[Toasterlad]

24. Talk Is Cheap.

I call this trying to ride the wave of enthusiasm much of the country feels about the election of Obama, and trying to appear moderate.

As long Huckabee hides behind his bible while promoting hate against Americans, I'll never consider him honorable.

[AlCzervik]

27. Sorry but Huckabee is the worst of them, his "niceness" helps him fly under the radar.

no thanks.

[tom_paine]

28. Well, I'll judge him by his actions. If they continue to be honorable in this vein, then I accept

it.

If he throws off the mask and starts behaving like a Savage Weiner or Hannidiot, then obviously I will have to adjust my views accordingly.

[WhollyHeretic]

40. His actions are vile. As governor he held up disaster relief money for an area

hit by a tornado because he objected to the insurers use of the phrase "act of god". He held up the aid for weeks.

[EFerrari]

30. Exactly. He is personable and people want to like him.

But in order to like him you have to forget his speeches would be appropriate at Klan rallies just as Palin's are.

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. Well, at least he didn't mention Obama getting shot this time

I was scared of Huck as a running mate with McCain because he
has the same base as Palin.

[EFerrari]

32. Yep. He's just as seductive in another way and dangerous as hell.

We're going to be dealing with the people empowered by Huckkkabee and Palin for a long time, I'm afraid.

34. Yes, he's a "nice guy". W is a "nice guy" too. Doesn't mean I want them in office.

Let them spread their form of delusion elsewhere, and yes, I'll be happy to go to their BBQ's and have beers with them.

[KamaAina]

36. Believe it or not, I actually learned something from Schmuckabee's campaign

to wit, that our current employer-based health care system is a relic of an effort to dodge World War II-era wage and price controls. Benefits, you see, aren't considered wages and so weren't subject to the controls. Thus, they became a backdoor way to offer higher pay without running afoul of the controls.

It is precisely because Schmuckabee has that little something on the ball that he scares me far more than Bible Spice. :scared:

[Bluenorthwest]

37. Your idea of decent and honorable differs from mine

Mike Huckabee: “If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague.”

[Maven]

38. What a nice, honorable guy!

[malaise]

39. Where was he when the campaign was spewing their hate

Too little too late Fuckabeeeeeeee. STFU!

[Eryemil]

41. He's a hateful piece of shit (I know, there's some irony in that stement)

He can take his bible and shove it up his delusional ass.
