Fox "News" host Mike Huckabee: “We gave the Democrats one incredibly early Christmas gift,”

[kpete]

Fox News host Mike Huckabee, however, told Brody that Cruz had probably done more harm than good for the Republican Party.

“We gave the Democrats one incredibly early Christmas gift,” Huckabee observed. “I’m not going to fault Ted. He believes what he was doing was going to be helpful. But at the end of the day, you look and you ask, ‘Are we any close to defunding Obamacare are ridding ourselves of it than we were?’ The answer is no.”

Huckabee also admitted that he is considering a run for president in 2016, which could see him facing off against Cruz in the Republican Party primary.

2. Holy Crap!! Who has Huckabee's robocall to Stop Obamacare recorded?

I never thought to record it.. Maybe Dr. Maddow has it. At least I hope she does.

7. I should have recorded when they called me back

I didn't "sign" the phone petition but called the number a couple times. A few weeks later, someone called from their group asking for a donation. I asked if Mr. Huckabee would come over and spank me if I donated. The person on the other end didn't quite get it at first. I had to explain that in the commercial, Huckster said that they needed to "spank" Congress.

8. If it's half as funny as those TV ads FOX runs...

...where you can buy a DVD set that will tell you everything you need to know about how to survive Obamacare...

I'm reminded of Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now when he casually rattles off "these people never give up."
