THAT’S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE …
|| By FITSNEWS || For the third election cycle, former Arkansas governor and Fox News’ host Mike Huckabee is seriously weighing a bid for the presidency of the United States.
That’s right … the United States. Not the monthly meeting of the “ignorant tight-ass club.”
In fact Huckabee (who nearly won the 2008 “First in the South” Republican presidential primary) is so serious about keeping his options open that he’s giving up his gig with the network.
“There’s been a great deal of speculation as to whether I would run for president,” Huckabee said this week on his show, which has run since 2008. “And if I were willing to absolutely rule that out, I could keep doing this show. But I can’t make such a declaration.”
According to Real Clear Politics, Huckabee “has reactivated his tight-knit team of advisers and taken several other the behind-the-scenes steps that suggest he is indeed serious about launching a second White House bid.”
Well, well …
Previously, Huckabee has said he was waiting on God to tell him whether to run for president …
In 2012, God apparently said “no.”
“Under the best of circumstances being president is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity,” Huckabee said at the time. “For me to do it apart from an inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God’s full blessing is simply unthinkable.”
Ummmm … okay.
In Huckabee’s absence, fellow social conservative Rick Santorum emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the 2012 “Republican” primary – luring legions of impressionable voters in early-voting Iowa and South Carolina. For what it’s worth Santorum – who’s been out of elected office since being ousted from the U.S. Senate in 2006 – is keeping his 2016 options open.
Both of these candidates are worthless in our book …
Santorum was a fiscal liberal during his tenure in the U.S. Senate, while Huckabee was a fiscal liberal during his tenure as governor of Arkansas. Neither candidate has demonstrated anything resembling the sort of commitment to individual taxpayers, individual liberty or the free market that we need to see from a credible presidential contender.
Huckabee is also a strong supporter of the federal government’s invasive “Common Core” curriculum – which will hurt him with many of the far right voters who would otherwise consider backing his candidacy (as it will hurt the candidacy of recently anointed GOP frontrunner Jeb Bush).
Oh, and he’s got problems on the immigration issue too … which appears as though it will be quite the hot button topic this election cycle.
Frankly, we wish candidates like Santorum and Huckabee would just go away … however their ongoing relevance within the GOP primary cycle (especially in early-voting Iowa and South Carolina) helps hasten the demise of the “Republican” brand.
Which as we’ve previously noted is just fine with us …
After all, “Republican” rule ain’t what it used to be.

he is a colossal fart blossom. I do not want to hear anything more about religion and God and those evil horrible homosexuals. seriously, this guy needs to fade into oblivion. and we need keep religion out of politics.
Except when the ‘religion’ is the god ‘Mother Earth’ and climate change, correct?
Science isn’t a religion, but how would your uneducated self know that.
FITS still B!*ching about the 2008 SC Primary. Maybe he blames SC Primary voters for McCain not choosing Sanford as his VP candidate.
FITS, you B!*c#ed because Bush burned McCain a new on in 2000. But Bush WON the presidential election twice. Your guy McCain won in 2008..and F*#ked it up. He – as you are famous for – could not quit gushing about how he “LIKED” Obama. …leaving the country to Obama and the Democrat Party to make a mess of…
Quit whining about McCain losing and STFU…You lose because you are too similar to the liberals you are supposed to be attacking….

FITS is right-it ain’t what it used to be since faux Republican/RINO/Obama lover McCain went up in flames. Since 2008 Republicans have gained:
11 senate seats
75 house seats
9 gov’s
1500+ seats in state legislatures and for the first time since the Civil war a majority in BOTH the house and senate legislatures.
Republicans are busting some FITS/RINO?DEM ass and they just can’t stand it. :-)
yeah and in 2016 it will swing back the other way as all things in politics do.
Right you fucking moron.
I see you did NOT make a New Year’s resolution to clean up your language. Seriously, you sound bipolar. Take some meds.
Seriously…you should have made a resolution to post something intelligent on FITS in 2015.
Hey idiot – just another hour or so and Johnny B is Speaker of the House again – and we get Amnesty and fully funded Obamacare for FY2016. Stupid is as stupid does – you gohmert gump.
no the supreme court gave him the election in 2000..didnt even win the popular vote but hey lets have fantasy hour huh troll?
You damned socialists and american haters livin in 2000 and trying to bring the 60’s back…drugs,perverted lifestyles,killin cops and siding with terrorists and communists..lmao!!!!
hey flip..what no balls to keep posting as flip? whats wrong tiny balls?
I am a queer that talks to myself after Rocky leaves. We get Buzzed.
what is it flip with your obsession with homosexuals? seriously between you and grandasshat all you do every dam day is talk about anal sex, sucking someone off and call everyone queers, faggots etc..says everything about you doesnt it, just come out already!
Right here you paranoid fool.What time does the library close? Don’t miss the bus!
Nice try, but the GrandTango is way better at this.
I heard about this site from a friend. I think he’s right, GrandTango is just another liberal trolling everybody. How could anyone think that stuff is anything but comical? I don’t know what’s more funny; the GrandTango comment or all the responses that to take it seriously?
Interesting theory. I have held the same theory about Ann Coulter for years.
She’s a lesbian deadhead when the cameras and microphones are off.
Not surprising. Liberals are totally awash in the myths, fables and lies, the DNC uses to keep you ignorant and in the dark.
From race and gender to class and just about any subject, you have to be a Whacked out Dumb@$$ to believe the $#!* they use to control y’all…..Any tin-foil hat Bull-S#!t they chum out to you, you gobble it up w/o ever asking about the stupidity of it all….
You’ll believe anything if it keeps you from having to actually think….It’s why you are a liberal…
In case you missed it, Bonehead is back as Speaker…
What is Pelosi doing? Sharpening pencils for Boehner? LMAO!!!
DEms have ZERO power in congress as of today.
Pelosi,Wassermanly-shultz and Shelia jesse Jackson lee ought to propose a dem congressional orgy with their equally ugly senate female ‘dogs’ -since dems don’t have anything to do over in the senate anymore!!!
Can you imagine Pelosi/wasserman-shultz and Lee from the house v. Frankenfienstein/murray and Warren in ‘DEm Dogs Do D.C.’ with a cameo by Hillary with a dildo?
“You impress me as a very conspiracy believing type.”
You seriously didn’t just type that, did you?
Your utter lack of self-awareness is staggering.
Not surprising.
You liberals are totally awash in the myths, fables and lies, the DNC uses to keep you ignorant and in the dark.

(Got you, buddy. *wink*wink*).
Yes, the GrandTango, people like you and me scare the cr@p out dumb@$$ liberals. They will never be free like us, because they are just welfare wh0res who just worship their secret Communist Muslim God Obama. Good thing the newly elected Republican Congress is shaking things up and will get rid of their precious Obamacare, keep out the illegal aliens and keep the gays from getting married. Those f#cking liberal sissies are shaking in their Burkenstocks!
(How’d I do? :-)
Misspelled Birkenstocks, but hey. . . .
He was emulating GrandTango, I’d have flunked him if he managed to spell it correctly.
“They will never be free like us, because they are just welfare wh0res who just worship their secret Communist Muslim God Obama.”
That’s pure fuckin gold right there. Kudos.
As much as I can’t stand Sanford, he would’ve been a godsend for McCain over Palin.
McCain killed his own candidacy. I hope he really, truly understands that. (Bonus conspiracy theory nugget: What if that’s what he wanted all along?!?!?!?!?)
He’s a talented man for being able to look at two directions at the same time. One eye goes east and the other one goes west.
As bad as he would be as President, he still wouldn’t be as horrible as Hillary.
Huckabee, no thank you. He seems like a nice guy, and unlike our current President, does have experience running something. But he will not appeal to anyone along the the political spectrum to the left of most tea party members and hard-core conservatives. Need someone with a starting point that does not make the electorate on opposite ends of the political spectrum either love you or hate you.
Nice post. I tend to agree with your assessment. I appreciate Mike’s faith and stand on issues of life however the party needs a candidate that appeals across the board-that can build trust with the electorate and take advantage of the countries distrust of Obama and the Democrat Party in protecting our homeland and improving our economy.
My ‘sources’ also told me Mike ran a ‘whisper’ campaign about Romney and his Mormon faith in evangelical churches which is why the turnout was so low in 2012 by Biblical Christians.
“MIKE HUCKABEE? AGAIN?
Same answer as last time not just no but Hell no.
Spoken like a true liberal college professor and Democrat!
Wrong on all counts but thanks for playing.
Not playing with a full deck, though. I believe GrandTango is the only one that troll respects here, which is really, really, really saying something.
GOP has gone from Got 0 Plan to Got 0 Personality.
Keystone in a month, NO immigration reform and bye bye Obamacare in June.
Love the plan!!!
look..the idiot flip has gone from flip to guest to about a zillion other names and back to trying to be me..hes my bitch but he aint me..lol.
No one can replace you my friend. No one.
You sure are paranoid.
Says the guy who’s being hacked every ten minutes…
Never happen on Obamacare….zero chance.
Sure it will:

lol… You keep telling yourself that. GrandTango must be still telling himself Rick Perry is President now…
In other words, pretending to run for President is more lucrative than a useless spot on FoxNews. Every four years these charlatans, like Huckabee, Trump, Gingrich, Santorium, etc, pop up claiming they want to be President (as if). Dipshits like FitsNews will promote them. They’ll “write” a book and collect that PAC money. Then go back to squeezing the regular marks.
It’s OK, God told them to run.
(He gets a real big kick out of watching them fall on their asses in the primary.)
Huckabee clearly thinks he’s honoring God every time he eats a donut.
Maybe he can get Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman to be his running mate..they could force all states to teach the world is only 6000 years old, flat and created in 7 days and little baby white Christians rode on dinosaurs on the way to church. ahhh good times they would be.
Wouldn’t the world be like 6035 years old by now? Dummies won’t even include the years that have past since they decided to spit that hot garbage.
I now believe in evolution. :-)
Irrelevant I know, but my God, he is a creepy looking dude.
have you seen ted cruz yet? lololol
Have you seen Hillary since her ‘stroke’ in those glasses and in a pantsuit?
Lol! Bonehead just got re-elected as Speaker! You GOPer’s are a fucking riot!
Looks like he just realized he pooped his pants, again.
He looks like a slightly unhinged troll.
He does look like a human being.Ears seem normal size and I doubt they would have to fumigate the wHite house after he leaves, if elected.
He looks totally stumped:
“Hey Mike, if homosexuality is a choice, when did you decide to be straight?”
“………….”
Santorum & Huckabee: Two dudes who hear voices in their heads. Lol…I guess people have ran on less. Next!
This has to be better than a Clinton, Bush, Warren, or McCain.
Amazing the two GOP front-runners are Governors who’ve been out of governing for over 10 years. What a joke.
The two Democrat party front-runners (follwing the ‘closet muslim with a marxist world-view) are a lying, lesbian,enabling American hating bitch that makes Jane Fonda look like a conservative and a women that loves communism and says she is 1/5000 Indian so she can get free tokens at casino’s on Indian reservations.
You have a lot of sock puppets, Sandi.
If Will isn’t logging IP addresses, I guess we’ll have to contact Ed Snowden. Could be interesting reading.
Go ahead. Go on thinking the Christian right is falling over themselves to support Huckabee or Santorum. They want someone who is competent and electable. If you don’t think the Christian right are critical thinkers, that will be your own miscalculation.
If you don’t think the Christian right are critical thinkers, that will be your own miscalculation.
Gingrich? Cain? Bachmann? Perry? Romney? McCain?
Tell me, what was the “critical thinker” option in the 2012 lineup? Or even 2008?
I like Herman Cain’s “9-9-9” pitch. I was like a Domino’s special, had a nice ring to it.
Republicans need serious candidates only. No room for candidates promoting tv careers or books. Republicans do not need failed candidates like Santorum or Huckabee who are running for name recognition and personal financial game. Nor do Republicans need unvetted candidates who have the potential to implode or bring disgrace to the GOP. Republicans need serious and electable candidates who will follow the will of the voters and bring meaningful conservative change to DC.
Good luck with that..they would never make through the primaries where the religious/right wing freaks have the upper hand..
I’m not sure if that can happen.Goldwater would be considered too liberal for the republicans or democrats..
Saint Reagan would be considered too liberal by today’s GOP.
Old Harry would have bolted the Dem Party real fast.
“After all, “Republican” rule ain’t what it used to be.”
Well, what did it used to be? Bush II, Bush I, Reagan or Nixon or Eisenhower. Which one is Fits referring to? Bush II was a failure. Bush I, so so. Reagan ran up the debt faster than the Bushes. Nixon, not so bad. Eisenhower is turning over in his grave seeing the current crop of Republicans.
I got a feeling Mohammed and the Fuher are awfully proud of this pResident and current crop of Democrats that appease radical islam and the enemies of Israel?
Ah yes, Hitler, proud of Obama murdering the Jews by the… zeros?
That bunch in Palestine is urging him to speed up the process.
What’s the difference between Jews & pizza?
Pizza doesn’t scream in the oven.
Dude, Conseratives took it up the ass today.
Nixon? Started the EPA, funded Planned Parenthood-like groups. Eisenhower? Err, the interstate? Teddy Roosevelt? lol… Where do I begin?
Better stick to the 80’s and beyond or you’ll start to realize the Republican party used to be fairly liberal.
Common Core doesn’t dictate or direct curriculum, dumbass–only objectives. But then again, this is a fact-free zone, so what was I thinking? BTW, will you dump this comment like the last one and some before?
You can take your Common Core nazi youth curriculum and take it back to Mecca. This is South Carolina, we don’t need no help with educating our children from socialist America haters. We don’t need no fake facts when we have The Bible.
we don’t need no help with educating our children from socialist America haters.
Considering our ranking in education, I’d say we’re doing a fine job of screwing up our children’s education all on our own.
Yup. Our “legislators” efforts to micromanage education via creating a replacement to CC standards has just resulted in a further dumbing down of education in SC.
Thanks for the updated picture of Huckabee
I now know what Spanky looks like as an adult
Why not a Mormon?
Even if we would call him apostate in Bible Study Class, at least he wouldn’t be a baptist.
Huckabee is a cash machine. He can raise like few pols can, and he spends it. The Wilsons and the Campbells been cashing in for years!
Is he storing up nuts and berries in his jowls for winter?
I believe he will choose not to run and go back to Fox, where he had decent ratings (for cable) in six months. On the other hand, distended veins.
“Mike Huckabee again.” HELL YES, But let’s get it right this time. Don’t let Fred Thompson be a decoy for McCain, Don’t give Taliban Santorum a chance. This country needs a common sense conservative for a welcome change. Although Huckabee isn’t as conservative as I would like, he likes the internet sales tax for one thing, he is conservative enough to carry the conservative banner and at the same time get enough mushy middle moderates to make a majority. The main thing we as Republicans have to do in 2016 is win back the White House. Huckabee is electable while still standing for conservative values. The 2016 campaign needs to start with a reality check. As much as we would like a Cruz or Paul we have to overcome the Bush and Christi types . Huckabee can assume the middle ground while still being a conservative.
