Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a warning for Sarah Palin: Don't abandon the Republican Party.

The former presidential candidate and potential future White House rival of Palin's said Tuesday he's concerned about speculation the Alaska governor may leave the GOP to become an independent.

"I hope she remains — let me be real clear — a part of the Republican Party," Huckabee told FOX News. "I'm a little concerned when I hear her say that she may sort of branch out and go third party or go independent. That would be a big mistake because we need to rebuild the Republican Party, not abandon it."

EDIT to ADD :rofl:

Opps that is right.. the core of the Republican party

2. Wha..? Who the fuck cares? Two religious-wackjob 15-minutes-over losers.

16. Huckabee is the Far More Dangerous One

They are both nuts, but Huckabee is too damn good at selling his particular brand of nuts.

3. The Republicans are trying to rebuild their house.. .And they need a weather vane

A creaky old thing that just spins in place depending on how the wind blows.

8. Such a good imagry..

:rofl: SS Republican Party.. sinking

9. This is the real issue facing repugs today

Their reliance on the radical fringe racist elements that Palin appeals to is about to bite them in the ass.
The only way they were able to get the freak vote was to pretend to have interest in their causes.
Palin pulls no punches and declares herself a full blown wackadoodle.
There actually are two heads to the repug party. One the undereducated, born and breed "conservative". The other the hateful, narrow minded, uneducated neanderthals.
Lets sit back and enjoy the popcorn!

10. Has she stuck with anything in her life do date?

I'm still waiting to see that whole "pit bull" thing where she actually sinks her teeth into something and holds on to it.

11. Clever. He's drawing attention to her propensity for quittin'.

He's smarter than I thought.

13. No, that's pure panic

If she goes Indy she rips out a chunk of the base - Huckleberry's biggest chunk I might add.

A party that is already mostly an afterthought becomes two half afterthoughts. And Huck is hung out to dry with no constituency left.

14. His 2012 chances are dead in the water if she goes third party. The mainstream

R's might take a shine to him and he could draw enough of the far right to get elected if she doesn't start a RW wacko party.

12. Don't listen to him, Sarah. He's a right-wing religious fringe wacko.

Oh wait - so are you.

15. As Uncle Adolph said as the Russians were closing in

"Eva don't leave the bunker. We'll turn this around yet."

17. I think this is a deeper warning to an 'Esther' that is going off the res,

They are both linked to the dominionist movement. The dominionists have worked hard to get the reins of a mainstream party like the 'pubs. If Sarah goes third party, she will peel off a good number of the whackjobs and marginalize their cause for another few generations. Huckabee will certainly be screwn.

Of course I'm all for it. :evilgrin:
