Huckabee and his glass jaw: The DNC will smash him

Posted on December 11, 2007 by Lance

I still contend that Huckabee is corrupt and a liar, despite his former status as a minister. I hold many ministers in high regard, but the ones involved in politics always seem corrupt–is it just them, or is it the game of politics? Regardless, on the Drudge Report, a story was released that says the following:

DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE ‘EASY KILL’ IN GENERAL ELECTION

**Exclusive**

Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal.

The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, until he secures the party’s nomination.

The directive has come down from the highest levels within the party, according to a top source.

Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the “glass jaw — and they’re just waiting to break it.”

In the last three weeks since Huckabee’s surge kicked in, the DNC hasn’t released a single press release criticizing his rising candidacy.

The last DNC press release critical of Huckabee appeared back on March 2nd.

[DNC Press Release Attack Summary:

Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases)
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28% (74)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64)
Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20)
Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

In fact, as the story broke over the weekend that Huckabee said he wanted to isolate AIDS patients back in 1992, the DNC ignored the opportunity to slam the candidate from the left.

“He’ll easily be their McGovern, an easy kill,” mocked one senior Democrat operative Tuesday morning from Washington.

“His letting out murders because they shout ‘Jesus’, his wanting to put 300,000 AIDS patients and Magic Johnson into isolation, ain’t even scratching the surface of what we’ve got on him.”

The discipline the Democrats have shown in not engaging Huckabee has earned the praise of one former Republican Party official:

“The Democrats are doing a much better job restraining themselves than the GOP did in 2003 when Howard Dean looked like he was on the brink of winning the nomination.”

A close friend to Huckabee explains: “Look, Mike is Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare. They should be squirming.”

I will keep this quoted because Drudge does not keep extra pages up permanently–in a couple days it will be off of their site. If an AP article about this turns up (it most likely will) I will put it up as well.

    While my dislike of Huckabee is well known, he scares me for one reason. I can easily see him winning the one-on-one debates. He has a way of saying “drop dead” so nicely that you end up saying thank you. I don’t know what it is, but he’s got it.

    Huckabee obviously doesn’t have anything to fear, because hilary is gonna win the primary- all liberals MUST love her, right?

    Kip, sure you know what it is, the source of Huck’s smoothness: it’s a Mephistophelean thing. He’s surging just now because of the prevalence of Fundamentalists and other Evangelicals in Iowa’s GOP ranks. And may God Bless those folks, for they ought to know better. Lance does.

    Asked during CNN’s latest travesty for his position on Biblical inerrancy, Huck departed from the question to indulge in a recitation of what, to him, is the essence of the Christian creed: care for the poor. Thus, a gospel so blandly inoffensive as to have been embraced by every great religious tradition in all places at all times. A statistical gospel, pitched not so much to the denominations as to the Lowest Common Denominator; an acceptable answer from a man who seeks acceptance from people unlikely to want to hear the true and only answer (which, as ever, is Jesus, and Him crucified).

    Huckabee could have given the true answer, but then he’s not in this to be a fool for Christ, much less to make of himself a sacrifice in His footsteps. Rather, he’s in it to borrow from Satan the keys to the most powerful office in history, to overturn Christ’s answer to the First Temptation in the desert.

    He’s in it to come in first now, and not later. He’s in it to win.

    And, as we know, nice guys come in last.
