It was one thing to laugh at Arkansas' own Biggest Loser when this campaign first began. Bible as literal truth? Doesn't believe in evolution? Classic tax-and-spend RINO? It has been more and more difficult to pelt Huckabee with the ridicule he so richly deserves since he's become the MSM poster boy for everything they hate about the GOP. See? We told you that conservative is just another word for out-of-it hick nutball. Last week I saw Huckabee interviewed on the BBC; the interviewer could scarecely keep back her guffaws. This is exactly what the party of Hillary, John Kerry, Howard Dean, and Nancy Pelosi wants the world to see as the face of its opposition: an ignorant, uneducated, unsophisticated petty bureaucrat, with zero international experience and enough "values" baggage to fill a 747. Put plainly, the man is a nightmare.
Jimmy Carter was elected because he was a "fresh face," an "outsider" whose refreshing unconventionality would be a tonic for a malaise-stricken country. We are still paying for his blunders and deliberate snafus today. Carter turned out to be a bigot, a friend to our enemies, a hand-wringing wuss unable to kick even a housefly out of Washington, much less the ayatollah out of Iran. There is a direct line of causation from Carter to 9/11; in fact, one could fairly safely say that every American serviceperson killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 died thanks to the Carter administration and its cringing inability to nip the Islamofascist horror at its bud stage. Oh, but Carter was such a "nice guy"! He was so "likeable," so "self-effacing", so free of dreaded elitist-imperialist aggression! It was no accident that this fool came to the White House during the initial efflorescence of the feminist movement; this was the tip of the emasculation iceberg that has since upended most of the country and is threatening to turn us forever into a power on the level of, say, Portugal.
Huckabee is no different. Like Carter, he proclaims that he is "born again"; like Carter, he's all about compassion; like Carter, he has the unspeakable urge to protect America from itself. How to do that? Why, regulate, of course! More laws, more bureaucrats ... more taxes. I'm not saying I would ever vote for HC (I can't even bring myself to write out that witch's name) -- but there would definitely need to be a clothespin on my nose, before I'd ever punch my chad for Hucksterbee.  He is everything our party does not need. Let's make him disappear from public discourse -- soon!
