You lefties ought to like this guy now. He seems to be reaching out to
your side.
-----------------------------------------

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Mike Huckabee, who has joked about his lack of
foreign policy experience, is criticizing the Bush administration's
efforts, denouncing a go-it-alone "arrogant bunker mentality" and
questioning decisions on Iraq.

Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor now running for the Republican
presidential nomination, lays out a policy plan that is long on
optimism but short on details in the January-February issue of the
journal Foreign Affairs, which is published by the Council on Foreign
Relations. A copy of his article was released Friday.

"American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open
up, and reach out," Huckabee said. "The Bush administration's arrogant
bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad. My
administration will recognize that the United States' main fight today
does not pit us against the world but pits the world against the
terrorists."

Unfortunately, he has failed to obey the law and report many of the gifts
he's solicited over the years, in return for political favors.

Yeah, but what makes him stand out from the crowd?

We won't know until he's elected. I'm guessing his belief in mythology will
be the problem, but we already know that.

I'm not a Huck fan, but name a few of the gifts and favors.

Don't you read? Of course not. All the broadcast news sources have also
covered this issue. You must live in a cave.

Why would the dems whose candidates have been saying the same thing for
years be drawn to an overtly religious candidate just because he *says*
he believes the Bush administration has a "bunker mentality" on foreign
policy.

To dems and any blue collar citizen who's paying attention, the Bush
administration has a "bunker mentality" on *everything*, especially
their fiscal *ideology* which is eroding the middle class.

Since Huckabee has added veteran Ed Rollins as his new national campaign
chairman and senior advisor, my guess is that he's aiming at religious
republicans who are turned off (rightfully so) by the Iraq "Fiasco" but
who can't relate to any of the other candidates. McCain is a hawk.
Giuliani's sordid reputation doesn't fly with them. Romney's flip
flopping and religion scare them.

Huckabee may not flaunt his religion but I'm guessing that those
Christian voters that the Bushies so successfully pandered to in the
past are quite aware of it and among republican strategists there is a
legitimate fear that these voters, if they can't find a credible
candidate will simply not bother to vote.

I don't live in a cave and I don't sit in front of a TV all day.


Big deal.....Nothing compared to clinton. He accepted free sex in the
cloak room of the WH while on duty with a subordinate. He's lucky to be
a free man and not serving sentence in prison. Come up with something
better joe.


"_The truth squad says the only finding by the Arkansas Ethics
Commission that Huckabee accepted a gift improperly was tossed out by a
state court. In fact, the panel investigated 16 complaints against
Huckabee and found five violations. Only one, for accepting a $500 canoe
from Coca-Cola, was tossed out.

Two of the complaints against Huckabee pertain to unreported gifts - the
canoe and a $200 stadium blanket received by his wife, Janet. Two stem
from cash the governor or his wife received but did not initially
report. The panel also ruled in 2003 that Huckabee's campaign violated
state law when it used its funds to pay for an event during the summer
of 2002 called Gospel Fest

During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more
than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary
of state's office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as
governor but was not required to report their value.)"

Apparently, you're exposed to nothing at all. News of Huckabee's gift
problem has been widely available for at least the past month. It's even
been mentioned by news sources you claim to like.
