Best line: “If Blue Dogs vote for this, they’re dead dogs,” Mike Huckabee on Health Care Vote

Tell your representatives what you think about Nancy Pelosi’s new government health care bill at (202) 224-3121 (capitol switchboard).

Huckabee is very good at pointing out the problems but comes up short on solutions or ideas. Although he did put out a call for Nancy to put congress to work to solve the unemployment problem.

#2 I guess you missed Huckabee suggesting cutting the payrole tax rate to get people back to work, its was pretty plainly stated to me. He has also stated awhile back that congress could give businesses a tax free year for the amount of money they are going to spend on the stimulus. You also failed to see that he very successfully blamed the democrats for the 10% unemployment by saying they are not even concentrating on the right legislation. He made several good points.

It’s been a LONG time since Huck has said anything I disagreed with. If I didn’t have a better candidate in Mitt, and if I didn’t know some of the things I know about Huck, I could easily support him.

#4 Baby step my friend.

Should read “baby steps”. Nothing like a good typo to destroy a good joke.

#3 Fiscal Conservative:
I didn’t say he didn’t have some good points, but the payroll and business tax cuts is basic Econ 101., he just failed to come up with his ideas on how he would solve the issues he was asked about.

What was he asked about directly that he didn’t address? I must have missed that question in the interview.

By the way, has anybody read Huck’s new book. I picked one up and was planning to read a chapter here and there, but couldn’t put it down, it is a great read. Not a political book at all but rather a thoughtful take on the first Christmas. I was laughing and crying and it really had the roller coaster of emotions. It is a great book. If you are on my Christmas list you will be getting one, but if not you you should get your own, I promise you won’t be disappointed even if you don’t support him politically you will love the book.

Anytime a possible contender for President is on T.V. having a serious interview about the major problems facing the U.S they should take full advantage. I had the feeling he was wanting to push his book and his show on and not wanting to talk economy, or unemployment.

Great interview by Mr. Huckabee, although he is not my first or second choice now, it is not surprising that he has become the front-runner.

Ikv, try listening to Huckabee more closely next time, my friend.
Thank you, Huck!
Keep on pointing out the mistakes of Pelosi, Reid and Obama!!!

Excellent analysis by Governor Huckabee. I agree.
