Huckabee for Veep?

The conventional wisdom about Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential short list, according to a handful of Romney insiders, may be wrong. Instead of picking a straitlaced Midwestern senator such as Ohio’s Rob Portman, or an outspoken northeastern Republican governor such as Chris Christie, there is a chance Romney will tap an evangelical from the South.

And the name on the lips of Romney friends and supporters isn’t a rising southern senator or a current Dixie governor. He has been out of office for five years, resides on a beach in the Florida panhandle, and hosts a television show.

In other words, Mike Huckabee, the bass-guitar-playing former governor.

Yes, according to several sources close to the Romney campaign, who insisted on anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the vice-presidential search, the 56-year-old Arkansan may be included in the veep mix.

To many Republicans, a ticket with a Mormon bishop and a Baptist preacher isn’t far-fetched. “In a way, it’s almost a dream ticket,” says Ed Rollins, the chairman of Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign. “He’s substantive and knows domestic policy, and his personality wouldn’t overshadow Romney’s.”

I'm hoping for Allen West.

  He would be great. Anyone but Huckabee, even and I gag Jeb Bush. We need some one with some B- – - . We have to many wimps in Washington now.
- Wendell
  
  Kathryn, I'm an Allen West fan as well, and I think he would be great, but Huckabee has a lot more experience in the political arena. Not only that, but Mike Huckabee has a solid televison following from most Conservatives. I only hope that Romney does what is best for our nation.

    There are so few who I could vote for in confidence and Allan West of those few who will stick to his guns when the road get rough. I am so unhappy with our present possible choices thus far. Our front runner, in my opinion is very little more promising that our illegal! I have said that I would vote for what ever GOP candidate wins.Right now , I do not see how I can possibly vote for Romney.

  Allen West??!! THE Allen West? The doofus who recently stated that he has heard that there are 80 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who are communists? THAT dingbat, Allen West? The philosophical descendant of Old Joe McCarthy, the drunken paranoid commie hunter of the 1950s? Is that the Allen West some of you are insanely recommending for the second spot on the GOP ticket? Good grief.

I like Marc Rubio. He presents a contrast to Romney and would draw the latino vote. Hucklebee is a republican first and a conservative second. Hucklebee and Romney would feel like a throw back to 2008.
- JulesV29
  
  Please stop with a Rubio VP nomination. Seriously, when we have been concerned that Obama is NOT eligible based on the Natural Born Citizen clause, why would we turn around and do the same thing. Rubio is a wonderful Conservative but his natural born citizenship is in question since his parents were not citizens at the time of his birth.
  - Gordon
    
    Aside from alienating the Latinos, Rubio's questionable citizenship is probably a major reason the Republicans have sat back and done nothing on pushing opposition to amnesty that the people have been so adamantly seeking. Once again, "We the people" taking second fiddle to politics.
    - bighoss
      
      Oh–so its "politics" when it prevents a crowd favorite like Rubio from being considered, even though the exact circumstances of his birth and ineligibility are known? Meanwhile, one would suppose that the "birthers" would disavow politics as the driving force behind their deranged and irrational challenge of the citizenship of the President of the United States and Commander in Chief of Her Armed Forces, the HONORABLE Barack Hussein Obama.
      
      This right wing-nut crowd is truly moving deeper and deeper into the realms of the ridiculous!

  Do your homework! Rubio is NOT qualified to be VP! His parents did NOT become citizens until Rubio was 4 years old!
- Wendell
  
  I don't know why people continue to ignore the Constitution. Marco Rubio is not qualified to be vice president, because he is NOT a "natural born" citizen. Both of his parents were born in Cuba. They were not even naturalized until Marco was four years old. Look, I spent most of my life in great State of Florida, and I admire and like Marco very much, but he's not qualified, just like Obama is not qualified to be president.

  Oh, ye-e-eah! Marco Rubio–the calculating, ambitious weasel who lied repeatedly about how his family fled Cuba after it was taken over by Castro. Here is the truth of the matter:
  
  <<<<During his rise to political prominence, Sen. Marco Rubio frequently repeated a compelling version of his family’s history that had special resonance in South Florida. He was the “son of exiles,” he told audiences, Cuban Americans forced off their beloved island after “a thug,” Fidel Castro, took power.
  
  But a review of documents — including naturalization papers and other official records — reveals that the Florida Republican’s account embellishes the facts. The documents show that Rubio’s parents came to the United States and were admitted for permanent residence more than two-and-a-half years before Castro’s forces overthrew the Cuban government and took power on New Year’s Day 1959.>>>>

    Not voting is not approving of the manipulated system we have. Not voting is about not giving your approval for a majority to impose its will on a minority. Not voting, is what smart people do. I will not vote for theft, infringement of property rights, coercion, murder etc… When you start to realize that Obama and Romney are both from the same group, you will start to realize why the system is so messed up.

  Yes Tim, I agree with the others. If you do not vote, it will be equivalent to at least a 1/2 vote for Obama and the finalization of the ruin of our nation. As those sages of philosophy, Rush, once sang, 'If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice'.

    A vote for Romney, is the same as a vote for Obama, so what's your point?

  Then make sure you vote to fill the Senate and House with truly Conservative candidates. Don't throw away or waste a chance to vote just because you don't like the candidate running for the GOP. I am going to hold my nose and vote for Romney because we can't take another 4 years of Obama.
  - msjallen
    
    That is exactly my thoughts as well. If 0 wins again we will need to have the Senate and the House majority so he can be impeached since it is too late to do it this year. The best thing to do is try him for treason but I doubt that anyone has the ability to carry it through for fear of their life. Impeachment would give him our tax money for the rest of his life.
    - Wendell
      
      msjallen, BHO would not necessarily receive tax dollars for the rest of his life, because his crimes could invalidate his right to receive monies from the U.S. taxpayer. When Clinton got impeached, the cowardly Republican Party elected officials could have thrown him out of office, and it is doubtful that that criminal would have received anything from the federal government.
      - Deep_Thinker
        
        You guys really think there are two parties that oppose each other…. Kool-aid time… It's a two party system for a reason, and I'll give you a hint: It doesn't matter which side is in office, you'll get the same results.
      - Evermyrtle
        
        The only way, more that ever before, in the history of this country, is that GOD will stand for us. HE IS ALL WE HAVE.

        Wendell, I have heard differently and would appreciate knowing for sure he would not. Thank you.
    - dewey
      
      If he was impeached and removed froim office he would not receive anythig.
    - bighoss
      
      No one has the ability to carry it through because, msjallen, there is absolutely no legal basis for charging the President of the United States and the Commander in Chief of Her Armed Forces, the HONORABLE Barack Hussein Obama, with treason or anything close to treason. If you know of something that the President of the United States and the Commander in Chief of Her Armed Forces, the HONORABLE Barack Hussein Obama has done that equates to reason, then tell us what it is, please. Otherwise, your ranting is nothing but purulent babble.

You got to be kidding! Two milquetoast wanna-be's, that surely is inspiring. I'm sure they will take on the Muslim-Marxist and his communist regime head on. They evently want the new Hitler to be able to continue his quest of destroying this once free Republic. I have no doubt that a 1776 will be needed to save this nation! I'm glad that I got my laugh of the day in early.

As per 1 Timothy 3:16 and 2 John 1:7-11, this would make Huckabee (and anyone who votes for Romney), participants in the sin of an antichrist (note, not the antichrist).
- Gordon
  
  Something is absent or missing in your reply. Does that, therefore, mean you are saying we should vote for Obama – the single most anti-Christ and anti-Christian president in our history – because voting for a Romney/Huckabee ticket is participating in the sin of "an antichrist"?
  - http://www.missiontoisrael.org Ted R. Weiland
    
    Of course not! First, we cannot unbiblically vote for non-biblical candidates into non-Biblical positions our way out of the mess we find ourselves. The last 224 years of constitutional voting demonstrates that America has only become less Christian and more ungodly with each and every election, regardless who's elected. Instead, we must repent our way out of this mess, which means returning to Yahweh and His morality as found in His commandments, statutes, and judgments.
    
    This is not going to occur overnight. Most of modern Christianity is antinomian, meaning they believe that Yahweh's moral laws have been abolished and have no practical purpose under the New Covenant. In short, modern Christianity (what in the 17th-century was Christendom) is saltless, good for nothing but to trampled under the foot of man, as per Matthew 5:13. This means that modern saltless Christianity is our principle mission field. They must be taught the truth concerning Yahweh's law and kingdom as they pertain to us under the New Covenant.
    
    We must recognize that this a generational vision and that this generation must begin now in order that a future generation of our progeny might have the opportunity of doing it right this time – unlike our late 18th-century American forefathers.
    
    This is not going to occur by trying to save this nation by employing the current ungodly system's means of doing things. Do you really think voting for anyone on the ticket today is going to fix anything. To do so only reveals our shortsightedness. By unbiblically voting for what they hope is the lesser of two evils, Christians and others are trying to save this present generation while sacrificing the next several generations in the process. Case in point, the last 224 years of voting.
    
    This battle begins by accepting and teaching the literal truth of Psalm 19:7-11 and identifying our national idol that stands in the way of implementing Yahweh's commandments, statutes, and judgments. Like Gideon of old, our fathers' idol must be destroyed before we can implement Yahweh's law. If every Christian were putting the same effort and resources into this as some do every four years in trying to vote the "better" man into office, we would begin to see our way to some REAL progress in saving this nation from the precipice she now teeters on. I hope you will join the real battle, which has only just begun!
    
    If interested, you might begin by finding out how much you really know about the Constitution as compared to Yahweh's moral law (His commandments, statutes, and judgments). Take our Constitution Survey at http://www.missiontoisrael.org/constitutionsurvey… and receive a free copy of the "Primer" (an 85 page book, normally $7 plus shipping) of "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective."
    - far2right
      
      Mr. Weiland,
      
      You sound like the Judaizers of old that Paul condemned. Paul openly rebuked Peter for even fraternizing with such.
      
      You can pretend to obey God's commandments, statutes and judgments. But you will never, ever be able to obey. You can appear blameless before men as Saul of Tarsus was, but God knows your heart. I fear that you are ignorant of God's righteousness and are going about to establish your own righteousness.
      
      As for me and my house, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" (Rom 10:4).
      
      Not only is the Law of God no longer binding upon me, it is now become my friend and an advocate by the virtue of the Lord Jesus Christ and His completed work of righteousness at His cross. It was there that He blotted it out and nailed the handwriting of ordinances to His cross. I am therefore no longer under Law, but under Grace.
      
      If God the Spirit does not rule over me and my actions, then I never will be able to. I can bind phylacteries to my forehead and try my best to focus on the Law of God. But I will never be able to obey it.
      
      "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster" (Gal 3:24-25).
      
      "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?" (Gal 4:21).
      
      "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman" (Gal 4:21-30).
      
      To you, Paul was an antinomian.
      
      To not understand the elect's relationship to Law and position before God in Grace is to miss the Gospel of Christ that reveals the righteousness of God, and be guilty of unbelief.
      - http://www.missiontoisrael.org Ted R. Weiland
        
        Paul antinomian? Of course, he wasn't, he was pronomian. You better go back and read Paul. You might want to begin with Romans 3:31. Neither was he a Judaizer, i.e., teaching justification or righteous by the law. And neither do I:
        
        "None of this is to say that Christians are under the law as were the Israelites during the Old (or Mosaic) Covenant. The Bible is very clear that New Covenant Christians are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). We are no longer required to perfectly keep all of Yahweh’s moral laws for righteousness as were the Israelites under the Mosaic Covenant:
        
        'And YHWH commanded us [Old Covenant Israelites] to do all these statutes, to fear YHWH our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before YHWH our God, as he hath commanded us.' (Deuteronomy 6:24-25)
        
        'For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.' (Galatians 3:10)
        
        "It was specifically this aspect of the Mosaic Covenant that Jesus fulfilled on our behalf and then abolished:
        
        'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.' (Romans 10:4)
        
        "In Galatians 3:11, the Apostle Paul wrote, 'no man is justified by the law in the sight of God' and in Galatians 5:4, 'you [are] severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law, you have fallen from grace.' Justification (our legal standing before Yahweh) is what provides us our righteousness (our moral standing before Him). Justification, and thereby righteousness, is only attainable through Jesus’ propitiating sacrifice on our behalf.
        
        "Having fulfilled the Old Covenant requirement of perfect righteousness – perfect obedience to Yahweh’s laws, which equates with sinlessness – Jesus became our righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:26-31). Consequently, “every one that believeth” is justified by the blood-atoning sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus the Christ and is no longer under the law, but under grace.
        
        "That Christians are not under the law has been perverted to mean that Yahweh’s laws have been abolished. If this were true, Jesus would have put an end to Yahweh’s morality, which would mean an end to Yahweh. What a horrific concept! Because Yahweh does not change (Malachi 3:6), His morality, or righteousness, has not changed either…."

    Seems quite plain, to me. Get out your Bible if you have one and begin a study on the New Testament as a beginning. It will help to discuss it with a good Christian Minister along the way , too. By the time you finish that, you will be able to understand much better, what GOD'S expects out of HIS people. You need a study of the Old Testament too but just the study of the New Testament would help you to understand greatly, HIS will for HIS children.

  Ted again your Miss inform by your comments.
  I had Romney as a Governor and left because of his policies, But It worst what Oboma has done and so many question who he is. But we do have to pick the lesser of the two evils, and to have The Huck as a VP would most likely be the best this country has to offer.
  - http://www.missiontoisrael.org Ted R. Weiland
    
    Speak for yourself. You may believe YOU have to pick the lesser of two evils (i.e., share in the responsibility of any lesser of two evils you help elect, as per 1 Timothy 5:22 and 2 John 1:7-11), I don't and won't. I'll put the same effort and resources into doing everything I can to awaken sleeping Christianity to what's been done to them and pointing them to the only answer that can keep America from falling off the precipice she now teeters on or bringing her back from the depths of depravity after she's fallen.

huckabee would be at the top of my list
Wendell

First off, who knows who Romney will pick? I would imagine that he will seriously consider Mike Huckabee. There are several good qualified candidates from which to select, but if he chooses Governor Huckabee, I believe, among others, that he would be a good choice. Regardless, let's pray for our country and those who will replace the Muslim plant, BHO!
Winston

Huckabee as VP? NO, NO, NO, please. Huckabee is a left-of-center globalist just like John McCain.
barney

Romney is not the Repulican nominee yet! Don't count the chickens before they hatch!
concernedpatriot

Didn't Huckabee engage in a somewhat underhanded campaign of questionable honesty to undercut Romney's presidential bid last time? I could be misremembering, but there was something he did that destroyed all my trust in him and his so-called integrity as a Christian. So…VP choice? Yuk. Can't imagine it,
GWjr

Not a big Huckabee fan, but he wouldn't be terrible, I guess. However, I think Romney should look at one of his GOP rivals first. It would be a Big Move, and a good one!
How can Allen West supporters get past his vote to increase the debt ceiling, not all that long ago and as a tea party favorite?
How can Marco Rubio supporters get past his modified Dream Act statements?
Marilyn Smith

Us chickens don't know who will be running the chicken yard yet yet. I'm sure the Muslim Brotherhood is waiting for either a candidate who leans toward them and will create a vacumn of sorts. I'm sure the rest of the world is looking for an economical "savior" who can do magic tricks–putting money in their pockets while spending the money is ours and the rest of us prays that Jesus will come back soon and set things right-"His kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Keep praying brothers and sisters! If He taries we are in for an Overcomers expose' but if He comes quickly, it will be an Overcomers Reunion! "Even so, come quickly, Lord!"
Dale

I would like to see Romney be a real Conservative! But that is just a pipe dream. Who he picks as a VP will be telling for sure. If he picks another moderate…then liberal moderate will define a Romney presidency. As much as I am repulsed by this thought, I will have to hold my nose and vote for Romney in order to stop the Islamic communist Kenyan who occupies the White House.

I hope he picks NEWT for the VP! But that won't happen because NEWT is a strong conservative with core conservative values and definite plans to make this country great again. In lieu of NEWT, I'd be happy with Bobby Jindal.
- Evermyrtle
  
  Newt Gingrich is big on The One World Government. Be careful how you vote for such, you might just get it. We ahve been warned repeatedly about this attempt from Hades.

My dream ticket was Newt and Huckabee. I think either would be an excellent choice for VP. Newt would however, be my first choice, as he would bring with him the complete understanding of how the "good ole boy" network in DC works. With that knowledge, things will happen very quickly in restoring America to greatness.

True hypocrisy – two different religions. One of them cannot be right. Which one is lying?
http://www.the45s.biz Gary

Gentlemen, what we need is a voting block that recognizes you cannot have it all, and that the main focus this year HAS to be ANYONE BUT OBAMA (who just may be the antichrist). With that said, I'd vote for someone that no one is talking about – Condi Rice. Excellent tough foreign policy, appeal to both black and women's vote (and takes away race card excuses), and someone who comes across as very serious and thoughtful in all her actions. She is a TRUE conservative in every way! Rubio would be my favorite, but I worry about his eligibility and that fact keeping us from going after BO's inneligibility!!
We have to be very careful with that, because impeachment, either now or later, could be in jeapordy. God Bless the USA.

  We know it has to be either Prince Philip or Vladimir Putin or that Iranian guy, Ahmadinijad–or maybe Lady GaGa!

  Choosing the lessor of two evils results in still getting an Evil.

The countrys' demographics has changed too much. Huckabee is a fine speaker and very knowledgeable but we need a balance in oder to draw the Latino vote. Marco Rubio would be a big plus on the ticket. Huckabee would do well as secretary of state.

I would go for Huckabee. Allen West or Herman Cain would be fine, too!

  Just don't staff Herman's office with any foxy babes!

Up to two years ago, I was a lifelong Democrat. For several years, a committeeman, and then Vice Chairman of the party!!! Now—fooey!!!. Then again, I cannot get interested in Romney at all. Something defiitely rubs me the wrong way regarding him. The only reason I would vote for him, would be to get rid of the scum half_breed contaminating our magnificent White House. If only most of the poor souls who like obama knew the truth!!!! The media, which include the newspapers who withhold all news should be shot.

  Got to World Net Daily or Fox News of American Family Radio and get all the blithering wingnut propaganda you could wish for. These sources don't withhold news; they make it up to suit themselves.

Huckabee? Why would we want this RINO? You can thank him and McCain for getting BO elected!
Howard McTaggart

Don't know if he'd go for it, but would be an interesting balance a Mormon with a Baptist, that might unite a large part of the GOP to battle that "progressive" LIBERAL person (could use other words to describe him but don't want to offend anyone)
p.s

How about Santorum?

  UH, Rick Santorum? The nutjob who baldly and incorrectly ASSerted that here are no American history courses being taught in the University of California system and then got smoked out by Rachel Maddow, who displayed several of the university catalogs on TV to show just how wildly wrong Santorum was. You mean the Rick Santorum who called my President and yours a "snob" for asserting that every American ought to have a chance to get some education beyond the high school level? Is THAT the Rick Santorum you mean? Is your Rick Santorum the candidate who has often said that he opposes birth control–the Rick Santorum from the 1940s? Is that the Rick Santorum you have in mind? HORRORS!!!

I would go for Huckabee! However will he do it if asked? This would be a good combination! I just hope that our next president will clean up Washington and all the corruption!

I think it would be great. One for looks and one for charm.
