When he sa...I think people misunderstand Huckabee. When he says he is against libertarianism, I think he means BIG L. Many who listen to his fiscal ideas would call him a libertarian small l.<br /><br />He also cited as a major irritation the fact that he felt it was "pay to play."<br /><br />Hopefully we get a clarification, because Huckabee needs to be more lucid in his disparaging remarks. The fact that people actually think he is a "big government republican" should give him pause before making simplistic statements that may unintentionally alienate those he has been trying to mend relationships with.<br /><br />Huckabee has always been and will always be a hard candidate to pin down. He is an expert politician who can appear to be a moderate and a hardliner simultaneously without seeming like a politician. Such is a necessity for surviving the political climate h came from, Arkansas is unique ideologically... it is a breeding ground for presidential candidates. It should be no surprise that Huckabee and Clinton share many of the same qualities and have many of the same detractors.chukmatyhttp://youtube.com/chukmatynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671374.post-5557495919825324932010-02-22T20:40:34.284-08:002010-02-22T20:40:34.284-08:00Unless you have $3 million in the bank (and everyb...Unless you have $3 million in the bank (and everybody you care about does too) then social insurance is really important. Taking the safety net away is hardly being left alone. <br /><br />Huckabee is the guy who also said this: "The greatest threat to classic Republicanism is not liberalism; it's this new brand of libertarianism, which is social liberalism and economic conservatism, but it's a heartless, callous, soulless type of economic conservatism ..."chrismealyhttp://chrismealy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671374.post-86198601029923282642010-02-22T20:23:01.341-08:002010-02-22T20:23:01.341-08:00How do libertarians stick their noses in other peo...How do libertarians stick their noses in other people's lives? <br /><br />I'm not sure you understand what libertarianism is if you're able to make a statement like that. Libertarians want primarily to both be left alone and to leave others alone.<br /><br />DrewJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
