The Daily Habit: Politics

Huckabee Takes Aim at Obama- During a speech addressing the National Rifle Association former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee made a joke about Barack Obama that went sour. Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obamadiving to the floor because someone had aim a gun at  him.  Hearing a loud noise that startled the crowd, Huckabee said: “That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He’s getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he — he dove for the floor” (Politics: Huckabee Takes Aim).  An ordained Baptist minister, Huckabee drew solid support among religious conservatives.  He and former GOP candidate Mitt Romney addressed the NRA convention Friday as did another war mongering Republican who likes to play with guns; none other than that wretch John McCain.  Huckabee’s humor came during a 20 minute rambling on gun ownership in which he suggested gun education should start early. He also heckled the Democratic presidential candidates, saying neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton would fight to defend an individual’s right to own a gun.  Well reverend, you put your holy rolling foot in your holy rolling mouth this time, didn’t you?  Some may think so, if they’re Obama supporters.  You may be right though.  Obama may not have the minerals to defend gun ownership or anything else for that matters.  He talks a mean game but he’s an inexperienced as a pimple-faced 16 year old in a cheaply decorated brothel.  He’s an arrogant phony who has been backed by ill informed supporters who don’t know any better.  The joke just may be on him in the future though, if he becomes president.  By that time he may do doing a lot more tripping and a hell of a lot more diving.

I am curious, why are Conservatives constantly bashing Huckabee? I constantly hear them refer to him as Huckleberry among other names. I thought name calling and making fun of names went out of style once you graduated 6th grade?

I constantly hear Governor Huckabee referred to as Former Pastor or Preacher and some even refer to him as still being a Preacher or Pastor when in fact, he hasn’t been for more than 13 years. Not to mention the fact that he was Governor (10.5 years) longer than he was a Pastor (8 years).

Yet you never hear Mitt Romney referred to as Bishop Romney. Mitt Romney was indeed a Bishop of the Mormon faith for 3+ years. He was also “Stake” president in the Massachusetts area which oversaw all temples in Massachusetts. I would think that if we are going to constantly refer to Huckabee as Pastor, then we should give Bishop Romney equal time.

As for Liberals, Obama gets a pass when he refers to small town America as being bitter and “clinging to God and guns”. The double standard is just too funny. I am amazed at just how blind and/or stupid we are as a society these days.

I’m no conseravtive but Huckabee and Obama are both clowns. Hillary all the way.
