When Democrats Say This Kind of Thing, Republicans Claim They're Wimps

We'll see what the right wing reaction is to right wing candidate Mike Huckabee's condemnation of President Bush's foreign policy:

"American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out," Huckabee said. "The Bush administration's arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad."

My guess is that Huckabee is pretty much dead meat, since arrogance is exactly what the Republican base wants.

I'm surprised that you haven't noticed that Jimmy, er, Mike Huckabee is not a conservative. So, yes this is exactly the type of babe in the woods foreign policy statement we'd expect from a liberal knucklehead southern governor.

And yes, I am aware that those adjectives are redundant.

Yeah, like that epitome of arrogance Ronald Reagan. And who can forget the braggadocio of Dwight Eisenhower?

You will note that I don't refer to Huckabee as a conservative. I call him right wing.

[Squidley]

What are your (functional?) definitions of right wing and conservative?

Seriously.

If you just call him Jimmy Carter II, I'll be happy.
