The Real Secret to Huckabee's Rise in the Polls

Quite frankly, I'm waiting for Gov. Huckabee to invoke some of the other, more colorful Biblical plagues--like the plague of locusts, the plague of frogs, the plague of open sores, and the plague of famine--to attack his Repub opponents. It would be far more fun to watch than simply smiting them, wouldn't it?.

Huckabee needs to wake up. Maybe he says God is helping him because he can think of no other reason why anybody would like him. Huckabee, nobody wants to hear about how you are in favor with God, you sound like a rapper at an awards show. Give everything up to God when it is convenient, huh. However, at the debate you wouldn't even tell the truth about what Jesus would think about the death penalty. Ahh, no we see your true colors. It was a nice dodge around the question, with your, "Jesus was too smart," bit. Give me a break, Huckabee. I can't believe people are buying into your BS. You know what God would think about a DEATH PENALTY don't you preacher? Everyone out there, DO NOT vote for Mike Huckabee, he is lying just like the rest of them. You want to vote for a Republican, vote for Ron Paul and let him show how to lead a country.

We have had a religious warrior in the Whitehouse for 7 years now, I don't want another one. Keep religion out of politics. If he continues to expouse religion on every subject or question asked, he will only hurt his chances of being seen as centrist.

It's no secret.
Most of the candidates stink.
I will tell you what the media is keeping secret.
Ron Paul is the real frontrunner.
And has been for a very long time.

LOUIS NARDOZI: Obviously, you have not taken the time to study the FAIR TAX ACT of 2007. As an advocate of the fairtax act of 2007 (H.R.-25),since 2005, I know it by heart. The information you are stating is totally incorrect. All consumers will be required to pay the same inclusive tax rate of 23%, no matter their income with the exception of those earning up to the federal stated level of poverty and will pay no tax due to the fairtax prebate. To quote from the fairtax data here is an example: Effective tax rate vs. stated tax rate. Family of 4-2 adults 2 children earning $27,380.00. Their tax rate is zero. Same family earning $109,520. Their rate is 17.3%. Same family earning $438,000.00. Their rate is 21.6%. Family earning $876,160 Rate is 22.3% Anything over that rate is 23%. Because the 23 per-cent Fair tax rate of $0.23 on every dollar spent is not imposed on necessities, an individual earning $30,000 pays an effective tax rate of only 15.5%, not 23%. That same individual will pay 17.3% of his or her income to federal taxes under current law. One of the most frequently asked questions about the FAIR TAX is this: Is it fair for rich people to get the same fair tax prebate from the federal government as the poorest person in America? Answer: Let's look at a BILLIONAIRE under the fairtax act. If he spends $10 million dollars he pays a tax of 2.3 million. He gets a prebate of $4,697.00 (assuming he is married) His effective tax rate as per-cent of spending is 22.95%. As to not taxing used items, that goes for anyone, including that $200,000.00 used house you may wish to buy. I hope this clears up your 1% fallacy. As to used items of great value being provided by companies to employees as perks, when the item was first produced and sold as new, the tax was PAID ORIGINALLY by the first purchaser on that item. If you spend a little time READING the FAIRTAX ACT of 2007, you will probably find yourself in favor, especially after you click on the link titled "Presidential Scorecard" and scroll down to where you will find DR. RON PAUL STATING HE "SUPPORTS" THE FAIRTAX ACT. Next time educate yourself before posting.

R Hill,

Your comment displays your ignorance of Gov. Huckabee. He is not part of the "Republican Elite". He was born in the same small town that Bill Clinton is from. And into the same lower-middle class. He has repeatedly stated that he is most concerned with helping out that same middle class. He is from Arkansas, one of the poorest states in the country, and also mostly Democratic which says a lot considering that the only reason he isn't in office still is because of term limits.

I could go on and on, but my point is that you should probably go read a few articles and watch a few videos before you cast judgment.

Just Great. After the debacle of the last eight years we get - Bush lite. Will God get me a pony??

Take a GOOD look at Huckabee and the FairTax - why is the FairTax studies only evaluate incomes up to $200,000? Because the effective tax rate for billionaires under the FairTax is less than 1%. You can buy things of great value all day long without ever buying a new one. Think mansions, land, yachts, valuable coins, stamps, bullion, stocks and bonds - all of which increase his wealth and none of which is taxed. The things that are NEW that the super rich require will be provided them as perquisites by the businesses they control. Think company car, company house, company jet - all of which use our infrastructure and none of which is paid for by the entity using them. Why should Walmart pay for roads and bridges when they can get you to pay for free? This is another attempt by the liberal media to face ANYONE but Dr. Ron Paul. Much as we'd like politics to be positive, it is in fact ruled almost entirely by negatives. For instance, what's the biggest negative the Republican Party is facing in 2008? Iraq - a staggering 70% of people favor IMMEDIATE withdrawl from Iraq. Who is the only candidate that doesn't have that negative? Dr. Paul, who advocates using those trillions of dollars to secure our border (perhaps against Saudis who were 20 of the 24 terrorists in 9/11) and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure which is far more worrying than the loss of Social Security. Hm, full employment, withdrawl from Iraq and a huge boost to our economy from rebuilding our infrastructure - what Democrat wants to run against that. Hence the behavior of known liberal biased network CNN, who wants us to nominate either Guiliani or Romney - both of whose negatives are so high the copy practically writes itself!

Huckabee is one of those preachers who distort our relationship with God by thinking that somehow they are in God's "favor" ... God does not "favor" anyone ... as he can read in the Bible ... God is "no respecter of persons" ... and most of the time in the Bible God worked through the disenfranchised ... not religious types.

Christ did not change the law. He did not open the prisons. He judged one woman for one crime. He showed the hypocrites of his day that He had the authority - that He was The Judge.
Conservatives whether we like them or not give more of their own money to charities than do liberals. Liberals, on the other hand, give more of other people's tax money instead through taxes.

Not surprising to see a liberal so fearful of Mike Huckabee, his authenticity is crossing party lines. I guess if the worst thing the liberals can find against Mike is that he has a relationship with the lord Jesus Christ, thank the lord this country truly isn’t as bad off as I thought it was. Mike has been honest with the American people since he started campaigning, it’s just sad to see that some Americans have such a visceral hatred for anything or anybody conservative. I’m an African American and Mr. Huckabee has my support 100%

I just think it is cool that the question and answer I received from Huckabee is in the news...this is awesome.

Interesting this ex-governor who over saw many executions as governor, theology expert, active minister, dodged a very religious question in the republican debates with a joke, he was asked what would jesus do on death penalty issue, no doubt Huckabee dodged the question expertly, saying jesus was too smart too fun for public office, but, even a layman on bible like me unlike the theology expert Huckabee, knows of the bible parable of the adultress brought before jesus with this very same issue, gods law and law of the land called for her death by stoning, no ifs no buts, but very wisely jesus did not dodge the pharisees trickery, but answered let he that hath no sin cast the first stone..., none could, all condemned of their owns souls left, the only one whom was sinless and capable of stoning her too death, told her go and sin no more, and that he was not there too change gods law but too fulfill it..., Huckabee is typical of the hypocrites who populate the republican elite, cry at death of unborn fetuses, but lust for blood of the condemned in prisons, give tax cuts/benefits too the 2% richest in our society, but cry that those on welfare deserve their poverty as lazy, scum, shiftless, worthless.., demand they be denied the poverty level welfare checks, and in same breathe brag they are helping them forcing them onto those poverty level minimum wage jobs, but demand no minimum wage raises, as it cuts too much into their corporate profits, dividend interest.., yes they are the self proclaimed compassionate, conservative, family moralists, who on judgment day fit to the tee the blind biblical goats whom jesus will not know, for they ignored the poor, hungry, naked those sick and in prison..., yes I wonder if their rhetoric will fly on judgment day, and their pleas of when did we see you lord in these conditions, which will gain them nothing but "when you did it too the least of these you did it unto me", truly if we are in last days, it is not surprising who worship the Bush & company and the republican party...
