Re: 2008 Presidential Primaries
Huckabee with the nomination would be funny. At least Mondale and Dukakis won their home states, Huckabee could be the first candidate to lose every state in the nation.

Re: 2008 Presidential Primaries
FWIW, on Al Gore:
Gore Played Poker Nothing tremendous.. I've had a beer with him, and he's my horse. We can't get the sucker out of the gate, and don't necessarily expect to get any of you to ride along, but he's not an evil uber goober as people think. (Especially the anarchists) Still got one or two tricks but we're out of time and he's a stubborn mule. He's stuck on saving the world. Go figure. |

Re: 2008 Presidential Primaries
We need to nominate non beltway insiders from both parties, and ultimately need see an expansion of other parties. A two party state isn't a democracy.

Re: 2008 Presidential Primaries
I downgraded Huckster from F to F-. From http://pokerplayersalliance.org/news...le.php?DID=289 :
[ QUOTE ] Mike Huckabee F-. Baptist minister, former Gov. of Arkansas. As governor, he opposed the Arkansas state lottery. When asked "Last year, Congress voted overwhelming to criminalize most forms of Internet gambling. This year some members of Congress are promoting legislation to legalize Internet gambling. If such legislation passed, would you veto it?" [an incorrect statement, by the way...playing wasn't criminalized at all] by the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, Huckabee answered "yes"!!!!. Pros: None. Cons: Sworn enemy of ours...may as well vote for Kyl or Goodlatte. [/ QUOTE ] |

[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] ----- Original Message ----- To: information@explorehuckabee.com Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2007 11:54 PM Subject: My view of Gov. Huckabee Dear Governor Huckabee, I am a lifelong conservative Republican who happens to enjoy a game of Internet poker on occasion. Your response to the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling’s candidate integrity quiz, where you stated that you support a federal prohibition on Internet poker, doesn't sound like the stand of a conservative. Rather, it seems you're for limited government until you find something you want. Then, when that happens, the sky's the limit! First of all, I feel your position is foolishness. If your concern is compulsive behaviors, gaming is at most addictive to 1% of people, and technology can be used to keep those 1% offline via various exclusion and detection programs. Unfortunately, this won't happen under your big government prohibition plan (which involves snooping in peoples' bank accounts and Internet usage histories). Besides that, it's a question of freedom. Why should the rest of us be prevented from enjoying a game of poker in our own homes? Your position is nothing but a red herring. It seems you simply don't like Internet poker, so you think it should be banned for everyone. Sorry, but that's not my definition of a conservative. As you can't trust me to make my own decisions, I cannot trust you to represent me. As such, unless you change your mind, I will not vote for you or support your campaign in any way. Sincerely, TheEngineer |
