MIKE HUCKABEE
Huckabee is an enigma to me. I
frequently rail against these empty suits running for President
while being careful to espouse nothing. If you ask Hillary what she
had for lunch she would promise to appoint a committee to look into
the question and if you asked Romney if he loved his children he
would assure us that he will carefully listen to experts on the
subject before making his decision. Huckabee tells us what he
thinks.
This is his problem.
Huckabee is a former governor and
Baptist tele-preacher and it is the preacher experience that drives
him. He has a Bible based view of science which would mean a
Huckabee administration will force the U.S. science community into
denial or back alley experiments. Which is exactly why the religious
right supports him.
He also wants to address the
nation-wide problem with handgun violence by flooding our
communities with handguns. This is the Archie Bunker
approach...Archie once explained that the answer to airline
hijackings was to "arm your passengers." The millennial version of
Archie Bunker is living and breathing and threatening to win the
Republican nomination for President.
And, in this cycle's slate humor
starved of candidates, Huckabee is funny. It may be his willingness
to laugh at himself that puts him in the White House. If you ignore
the undercurrent of blatant racism, you can find a lot of funny
Arkansans.
Next to Ron Paul. is Huckabee the best
option on the GOP side? |
