Huckabee: Romney 'Arrogant and Presumptuous'

Huckabee surrogates complained that Thompson was a spoiler, now Huckabee says Romney is arrogant for saying less about him. His hypocrisies seem to never end.

As for Huckabee being a conservative, that is as dishonest as most of his other claims:

Romney is the most conservative candidate in the race.

"Mike Huckabee, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention has long been a hater of the Mormon faith because he does not like the loss of revenues from Mormon Converts"

(1) Mike Huckabee was never the president of SBC. Since the premise of your character assassination is wrong, everything about your claim falls apart.

(2) "[Huckabee] as long been a hater of the Mormon faith because he does not like the loss of revenues from Mormon converts." Are you kidding me? You definitely must have Huckabee confused with someone else.

David,
That was refreshing. Thank you. I am not a Romney supporter, but he would get my vote based on his skill set, unique in this crowd. As far as I am concerned he is arguably the best in terms of qualifications. No I really don't consider a lifetime of government service as suitable for growing anything more than government. Governments do not grow economies, they hinder them. Given how dire our current fiscal situation has become, and our politicians proclivity for writing checks to foreign countries effectively stealing tax dollars for something they were never intended,
Ron Paul is the only logical choice. Unfortunately he is unelectable as this current two party system is strangling this great country. Ron Paul is running the cleanest campaign I have ever seen and yet he is continually snubbed and derided by his so called fellow Republican collegues, Fox News (fair and balanced my ass) and the rest of the MSM. In 2040 when we can no longer pay for anything other than Social Security and Medicare (this is directly from the Comptroller of the currency that has served in at least 4 administrations dem & rep). We will not be able to pay for any other item in the federal budget. This is reality. Check the facts, do some research.
Anyway, thanks for the post David

Huckabee is a moron. It is so obvious that he and McCain have a deal. A cozy cabinet position perhaps, or maybe even a VP bid? It irks me that he is so kniving and slimy... No wonder he's on the list of the ten most corrupt politicians.

Personally, I feel Mitt is the Republican Hillary: every word carefully planned, no stance ever too strongly taken, no honest or unguarded word ever uttered. I also can't help but feel he would be swayed by Salt Lake City... one needs only look at how their church is structured to note the degree of control their leaders insist on. I'll be the first to admit that I have a had a bad experience with Mormonism. Maybe that's being narrow-minded of me, but based on my personal experiences, I could never for the man.

ok reality check people, Huckabee only won one state, McCain won 3 and Romney won the rest, Huckabee came in fourth in the rest, Romney came in second in the rest.

In NH the libs voted for McCain to give him a boost, since he is the easiest to beat in the general and even if he is not he is just like one of the libs!

The bill McCain wanted to pas and still does since he has not answered the question straight yet is proof!

Truthfully Huckabee should pull out, the reason he is not is for the VP slot. He does not attack McCain even thou McCain has been called the frontrunner, when have you ever heard someone not attack the frontrunner before?

Just look at Huckabees record and that will show you he is a liberal, he is throwing out the Fairtax comment, but there is no way to get it without repealing the 16th amendment, and he gives no plan on how he will. Just not all the Republican support a different ta proposal.

McCain keeps talking about Iraq, we get it he supports the surge that was the idea of Gen Petreaus and Pres. Bush as does all Republicans!

Is McCain strong on the War on Terror? No, he wants to bring the terrorists here for trial, which was never before done! He wants us not to interrogate the terrorists because France does not like it!
What did McCain do for the military during the 8 years Clinton cut it? Nothing.

The only Candidate that was running that did not think the presidencey was owed to him was Thompson, but since the press ignored him andhe pulled out the only choice left is Romney.

Come on Republicans lets show the Dem that we look past the Religion and color of an individual!

Both McCain and Huckabee attacked Romneys religion.

The only candidate running a clean campaign is Romney on both sides of the aisle.

Huckabee has raised taxes by far the most! then the rest!

McCain will be the republican Kerry!!

Huckabee is a freakin joke, has absolutley no chance, knows he has no chance..but continues to slick willy his way around and resort to name calling like most evangelicals..

My family has known Mitt Romney and his family for more than 40 years. He is as honest and as sincere as a politician will ever be in America. My wife once served as the Romney Family Housekeeper, and if there was any kind of inapproapriate behavior from any member of his family, we would be the first to spread it all over the media. Fortunately for Mitt Romney, all we can say is that he and his family have inspired my family to be better.

It is a terrible thing of just how gulible people are when they listen to the liberal media. After a while they end up sounding like them. Telling us all that he is a "flip-flopper" when he is seen as "open-minded." I think the only problem the majority of his opponents have with him is that he is a Mormon.

Mike Huckabee, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention has long been a hater of the Mormon faith because he does not like the loss of revenues from Mormon Converts. He even brought the Southern Baptist Convention to Salt Lake City a few years ago to try to upstage the religion. Now, it appears that his war with Mormons are continuing in this election cycle in the form of politics. The only reason McCain attacks Romney is because of the religious thing also. They have both established a religious test for the presidency contrary to the United States Constitution.

Yes, I am a Mormon. But, that should be irrelevent to wheather a person should be president. Harry Reid (Democrat Senate Majority Leader from Nevada) is also a Mormon. But, there is no way I would support him should he run for president.

Romney = man of integrity? Seriously, I'm supposed to buy that? He's a snake in the grass. I would wash my hand if I was ever forced to shake his just to get the stain of him off of me. How can everyone be so blind to the mans character (or lack of it.) He is as shallow and insincere as the Clintons. I feel nauseous just thinking of him in the White House. Ugh...

John McCain endorses Mitt Romney... so who's the flip-flopper now?

JB,
That would be me JB that saw Romney as the lesser of the evils. I leave Ron Paul out of that camp as he does not have a viable shot at the nomination.
Since you chose to take my comment completly out of context, I will remind you to look at Huckabee's record. You know, these are the things one actually does, as opposed to what they say they are about.
You seem about as honest as your canidate. Go back and reread my whole post if you care to respond, or don't if it is going to cause you disillusionment with your so called "conservative" flim flam man.

Less Cool Aid, more reading.

Those that LOVE their money more than this country will vote for the flip-flop.

Mike Huckabee is the ONLY Conservative candidate left (after Thompson and Hunter).

Hey Mark, now that you've unloaded on Mike Huckabee by calling him a bigoted, self-righteous liar, would you mind telling us what you're referring to? Is it the fact that he wants to define marriage the way it's been defined in the wetsern world for thousands of years - as between one man and one woman. How utterly bigoted of him!

Those that care about people more than money should vote for Mike Huckabee. If all you care about is yourself, follow your leader and vote for Mitt Romney.

Listen up Evangelicals ,ONLY a vote FOR MITT ROMNEY in Republican primaries is a vote AGAINST MCCAIN, a loser that is being aggressively imposed on us by the establishment and the “mainstream” media. By casting your vote for ANY OTHER candidate you will be HELPING McCain to win the Republican nomination.

The only reason Huckabee is in this race because he was able to join the forces of the most bigoted and self righteous right in the country!

Don't listen to him. He lies through a fake smile.

I can't understand how ANYone could support either Romney OR McCain. They are BOTH liberals.

Mike Huckabee is the ONLY Conservative left....

Someone said "voting for Romney is the lesser of the two evils".
What kind of sense does that make? Think positive! Vote for Huckabee, he's running on good ideas,morals has actually had a "real Job". Romney campained in Florida he had a job in the real economy. Was he a dishwasher or mechanic? A lawn service guy or a city worker? Romney cannot relate to the average American and with all his money can't buy our trust.

E-Z:

Romney: "a life-long hunter" "The republican nomination for president is a two-person race." "marched with Martin Luther King, Jr." "My approved political [hit piece] never said McCain's immigration was amnesty." "I am pro life." "Who let the dogs out?" "I am pro-2nd-amendment." "I consider Mike Huckabee and John McCain friends." "saw my father march with Martin Luther King, Jr." "Don't characterize my position." (as if he didn't spend millions doing exactly that for his fellow Republican rivals). "No lobbyists run my campaign." "Absolutely... Ronald Reagan would endorse me." "You got some bling-bling here." "Pharmaceutical companies aren't the bad guys."

Admittedly some of these "quotes" are paraphrases, but they're true to what he actually said in the last year. But, speaking of core-values: Romney just doesn't pass the He-can-even-fake-a-conscience litmus test let alone the He-actually-has-a-conscience requirement.

People do change their views on things from time to time, but his claim that he hadn't though the whole When-does-human-life-start until he was in his 50's is a little unbelievable. The two things that Romney's views haven't changed are on money and religion. I'll give him that, which I think is the "core-values" you're taking about. Maybe that qualifies him for being a conservative, but his words and actions in the last year have done very little to convince me that he has an decency that money can't buy.

Let's see... a presidential candidate who's been elected governor, with a strong business backgroud, and is the son of well-known polical family... George Bush? No, Willard (Mitt) Romney! Been there, done that.
