11. If I read your inference correctly, how would you know his gun is big? |

2. Huckabee does come off as charming and personable. |
|
That's what makes me nervous.

6. He is charming and personable |
|
something the other candidates lack, he learned under Clinton better than the rest.
He also is known for a hot temper apparently....
Someone needs to piss him off so the real Mikey comes out...
I don't think he's got a prayer, but then again :wtf: is Michael Stipe thinking?

12. It seems like it would be hard to piss him off. |
|
But if that would expose the real Mike, someone should do it. Surely there are some flamewar veterans around here with what it takes!

24. He doesn't come off as "Charming and likeable" to me. |
|
People said that about W and I always got 'weaselly' feelings about him.
I don't want to have a beer with the President. I want him to run the country.

26. That's my point. I don't want him running the country. |
|
I'm fine with having a beer with Huckabee. My having a beer with him pretty much guarantees he ain't running the country. No president has asked me to a bar yet. I did have lunch with a Lieutenant Governor who later ran for President once, but that's as cozy as it's gotten.

*snort* good one.
Stipe does say in the article that he doesn't agree with him on any issue. Huckabee could very well be a nice man (though I have heard otherwise). I have no problem with liberals and repukes being friends - I just worry, as mycritters pointed out - that charm will be mistaken for aptitude, sanity or even good leadership skills, that people will be deluded into voting for him 'cuz they'd like to have a beer with him (as so many said when voting for *).

Huckleberry is charming. Watch either of his appearances on the Colbert Report. The guy, admittedly, is relaxed and self-effacing--likeable. Obviously his beliefs are craaaaazy right wing wacko and his politics are revolting, but it's hard to deny that the guy comes across as genuinely friendly.
Typing that, I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

I've lived with him for 10 years as governor
Uncle Huckabuck is charming at times, and apparently hot tempered, and yet he governed from the middle and pissed off both the right and the left here in Arkansas, but got fairly good marks as governor. :shrug:
Still, Michael can't do that!!!!
rinse your mouth out :puke:

I too like Huckabee, but acknowledge there are better candidates out there. (McCain isn't one of them...)
Yes, my response is conjecture based on his wealth. But far more claim all republicans are rich and every other blanket statement, so I won't have any qualms doing the same either.
Even I like the idea of "FairTax"... except it would work better if the US had $0.00 in debt. We have a tad more than $0.00, therefore his plan (which is also a tad flawed in spots) just can't work.
Those who get more out of the system should pay back into it. Sounds fair to me, but what would I know? Otherwise it's like that song where the singer talks about money for nothing, and the chicks for free...

9. I thought you meant he had endorsed him |
|
He seems to simply like the guy's personality. I don't think Stipe is going to vote for somebody who policy-wise represents the antithesis of who Stipe is.
I know a guy at work who's going to vote for Ron Paul, but he is a nice guy aside from the politics and I am friends with him. He found a candidate who would work to cut taxes and get us out of Iraq. Those are the two things he's mainly concerned about.

20. No, but just saying he likes him |
|
will turn some towards him I'd guess
I mean the average American doesn't vote, the average voter doesn't understand the issues or the candidates well (see GWB in office)

17. Not exactly a glowing endorsement or anything |
|
It sounds like he was just saying the guy is smooth, but the antithesis of what Stipe believes in.

19. Michael Stipe also supports Amnesty International |
|
So this doesn't jibe somehow.

29. "I can't think of...a single issue in which I am even remotely in the same universe as that guy" |

He explicitly says he doesn't like the guy's politics.
