RINO Gone Mad: Huckabee urges GOP to cave
He makes the same kind of mush-headed argument here that compelled him to release the cop killer, thinking it’s better to placate terrorists than resist them. What a putz.
(POLITICO) — Mike Huckabee urged his fellow Republicans to throw in the towel on the budget stalemate, saying the GOP has the “most to lose” and needs to show it understands the personal impact a government shutdown would have on everyday Americans.
“Republicans have got to show that the people of America matter more to them than the politics of their own houses, and that’s what I’m hoping will happen,” Huckabee told Fox News host Neil Cavuto Friday afternoon, just hours before a shutdown was set to take place without a budget deal.
Arguing that no one suffers more than “the overall American people, particularly [military members],” Huckabee said, “I think the Republicans potentially have the most to lose because the amount of money that we’re talking about is so minor, we’re talking about pennies. Pennies out of thousands, and it’s going to be very difficult to explain that. . . . The Republicans have an opportunity to declare victory here.”
They could point to the fact that the framed both the budget itself and “framed the debate differently for Washington,” Huckabee added. “If they can avoid the shutdown, it makes it easier for them to live to fight another day. The big battle is over the real long term, that which Paul Ryan has put on the table. Don’t use all your water for too small a fire. This is too small a fire to use up all your water over a couple of billion dollars when the real issue is trillions.”
That view is anathema to many in the tea party movement, who believe that if Republicans agree to a budget they are relinquishing a chance to make deeper cuts, a fact that Cavuto pointed out to Huckabee.
The former Arkansas governor replied, quoting The Rolling Stones, “you can’t always get what you want. The reality of governing is, you get what you can and then you fight for what you want the next day. But if you battle everything on one moment and forget that [governing] is a process and it’s not a single event then you end up with a philosophy [of] ‘I want it all or I want nothing, I want it now or I want it never.’ You end up getting nothing, and you get it forever.”He said his personal view is that “I’d love to see Planned Parenthood just disappear. I’d love to see NPR defunded.”
But he said that if it requires explaining to the wives of soldiers trying to make ends meet that they won’t get their paychecks, then “no, I’m sorry, it’s not worth that.”

Huckleberry needs to go to the back of the bus, SD and STFU.
Chuck it Huck!
No one cares what you think.
F*ck off Suck-a-Bee!!!!!! You pu$$y a$$ RINO schmuck !!!!
Go back to your stupid show that no one watches, better yet go take your idiotic Donahue-esque persona and go to MSLSD where you can be seen as the token “hard line rock-ribbed conservative” Just like “Morning Joke” Scarboro
Dickhead!
Well… that’s the end of Huckster’s chances to win Presidency.
I for one, am glad for it.
Well, Huckabee, I guess you’ve made a definite decision not to run. I am so sick of RINOs!!! Oh, and you’re getting fat again.
STFU Huck ! NO one cares what you have to say.
Take your guitar and head on back to Arkansas, your done!
STFU Hucky and by the way, you look like Jerry Mathers in that pix.
Until the GOP realizes we do not want Huck or Romney or Palin as the candidate for 2012…we are screwed. I hope everyone is contacting them saying stop pushing these 3, they will not be winning candidates! There was a story on Fox (my husband told me) last night saying somewhere near 70% of independents and over 50% of Republicans do NOT support the 2012 candidates…Open your eyes! The GOP is stuck on Romney, Palin and Huck. Do they want use to lose in 2012?
Huck didn’t have a chance before this interview.
He’s hoping to appeal to independents, I have news for him, it’s RINO’s like him that caused me to register Independent in the first place. I didn’t want to be associated with people like him.
F*CK the Huck! Go crawl back under a rock you pansyass RINO.
The Huckster is Pathetic. My friends and I see him as a huge wimp. We would never want him in charge of our defense, let alone anything else.
America voted for this confrontation, Huckster.
Wow, looks like he gained all his weight back.
Newt, Huck and Mitt are mud that clears up a whole lot of problems with 2012. DO NOT CAVE!!!
Just a thought….if the government shuts down, does that mean they can’t collect income taxes for those days they don’t work? Just a thought.
I mean, if I don’t work I don’t get paid.
Huckleberry looks like his head is shrinking.
Fresh off his meeting and love fest with Van Jones… his first mission to sabotage the GOP…
Mike Huckabee goes after the Green Commie wing of the Republican Party – Here’s a clue: Retweeting shoutouts from commie Van Jones will not endear you with the conservative base…

We grew tired of your act three years ago Goober. We really don’t care what you think. Buh-bye.

————————————————————————————
Speak for yourself. I WANT PALIN. She had an approval rating that hovered in the high 80′s to 90th percentile as gov of Alaska when McCain selected her and before Ebola and his leftist goons started their vicious smear campaign after seeing her popularity with the massive crowds she STILL continues to draw.
She’s won back-to-back straw polls on Townhall, Hot Air, Ace of Spades and others.
I don’t know what you watch, the but the DC Establishment GOP wants nothing to do with her ’cause she doesn’t play the game of self-enrichment and going along to get along. She sends people to jail — which is where most of the political class of Washington belongs.
Huckster: “You Republicans need to remove your balls from within the sack, tear out your spine, and then bend over, spread your cheeks, and then allow the Dems to insert their policy prong into the gaping bung”.
Thanks Huck…that’s why I’m independent or morseo Libertarian.
I can’t stand either party anymore.
The GOP is screwed in 2012! The media and left will take the election and run with it, it doesn’t matter who you vote for ITS already been STOLEN!
The Donald is actually starting to look good.
At least he still has big cajones.
We really need a MAN in the White House.
If this loser gets one more term, then the joke’s on his constituents.
Huck just kissed the evangelicals goodbye while kicking them in the teeth, the butt and the scrotum. It would be better to portray Huck as a body with a head of a crater – he caves in so much.
Planned Parenthood is nothing but an abortion promoter in just about all ways conceivable, uhm, imaginable.
This should be the last for Huck. If one cannot stand up and say “The Democrats have decided – do not feed the troops so we can keep killing babies.” then he just stay home.
NPR, Planned Parenthood — low hanging fruit.
If they don’t “defund” NPR and PP then the GOP is should be renamed Grovelling Old Spelunkers and their slogan for 2012 “We cave were no one with a brain would.”
Kathleen, the GOP is *not* promoting Palin as far as I can see. Romney is just another establishment GOP policy, and now Huckabee has shown that he is not a leader. The Republican Party needs to get its stuff together to beat Obama in 2012. They can’t keep their heads in the sand.
Huckabee retrieved some of the data off his old hard drives and found the word “capitulate” and this must have inspired him to do this. I don’t want him as the Republican candidate in 2012.
Donald Trump/Ann Barnhardt ticket – 2012?
http://www.barnhardt.biz
two words ALLEN WEST
Schmuckabee is one of the reasons why the GOP gets no money from me anymore – and hasn’t for some time now.
Sarah Palin. I want her in charge. I want Paul Ryan using his talents to get the fiscal house back in order. I want DeMint leading the Senate. I want Allen West challenging islam and the CBC. I want Herman Cain in there somewhere, too. Then after two terms of Sarah, I want Ryan and West or West and Ryan in the Oval Office.
Oh, and I want obama, holder, frank, pelosi and …oh the list is just so long….in jail.
And I want Michelle Bachmann in the Senate.
Just don’t do us any favors by throwing your hat into the ring, Huck. Seriously!
Huckabee = Huckahasbeen
I think I would have a better chance if the gonernment falls flat on their ass. There are no federal employees in good standing with me, not especially anyway. Considering the criminal complaints I have issued for the past 30 years alot more people should of responded.
For a while there, I was starting to think that maybe he had potential. Not anymore. Thanks for the link to Ann’s site Kev. I see she’s speaking up for a West/Cain ticket. Smart woman.
Frankly , it is horrible that the repubs are only going after 66 billion in cuts! They and the commiedems are arguing over about 1.5% of the whole 1.65 TRILLION budget. Mr B grow some cajones! Now the Constitution needs real patriots more than ever! $ 500 BILLION IS THE MINIMUM CUT THE REPUBS SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH.
The governement needs at least a 50% cut across the board. That means bring home our troops from the endless meatgringers with fucked uo ROE’s in Afghanistan and Iraq. All non esential departments like HHS, Dept. ED, EPA, ect need elimination. The federal reserve duties need to go back to the Treasury dept. Once our debt is payed off , the 16th amendment needs to be repealed.
@Kev
Thanks for the Barnhardt link. She’s got a passion and I see on her site she too likes West in 2012!
RINO Huckaphony. He had gift-of-gab and ease in front of media. But his character is that of a PUTZ!
Seeeeeya!
Sarah Palin is not an elitist; elitists hate her!!

Amen bro!
He is little more than a old party hack turd who rolls himself in glitter now and then to make himself seem “new & exciting”. It ain’t working, huckster.
Shuck-ah-bee is a big fat fraud!
Suckabee makes a great argument to why he must not even be a serious contender in 2012. Let’s hope the Tea Party makes Huckabee, Gingrich and Romney go away quickly.
Mike Huckabee = Loser…
Haven’t read all the comments, but did catch this today live on Cavuto today…Stick a fork in the Huckster- he’s done, he did it today and there is no doubt about it.
Game over for Schmuckabee. I kind of like him as a person but he just blew any chance he had to be president.
Coward. Buh-bye?
Romney and Huckabee need a (D) after their name. Get lost! Palin was vetted by Kissinger in ’08. Ron Paul is the only candidate who hasn’t turned a possible run into a stupid reality show.
Please let this be the end of huckabee 2012
Huck you are a good man, but right now America don’t need a good
man, the need a strong woman and that woman is Sarah Palin and
besides she ia a good woman…
Kathleen what is this about the women that they dislike Ms. Palin so
much that they can’t get beyond the fact that she is a strong candidate
for the job as our President, this is the time that everyone should be at
the ralling point for a person we can get behind and bring that person
to the top of the best, and please tell us what it is that says or brings to
the table that you so dislike about Ms Palin……
My time and money is on Governor Palin and Allen West to cleanup the
mess this kenyan disaster and the warthog he calls his administration has
moved America into…..
If you set everything behind, what has this man we have now as the leader
of our country done that anybody we elect couldn’t do better…
Palin / West in 2012
