Huckabee: GOP Needs To Move Away From "Mushy Middle"

On Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" recently, Mike Huckabee said Saxby Chambliss' win in Georgia shows the solution to GOP ills: the party needs to move away from the "mushy middle" and become more conservative. Watch:

the GOP as we've known it (aka 'religious right') is dead.

please have your funeral and come out of the denial stage.

[BrickSykes]

You're right again, Jethro!! Y'all need more of them red-faced, fire-breathin', gun-totin' hayseeds like that Joe Plumber guy and maybe Good Ol' Chuck Norris!!

And for sure get rid of anybody that has more than two-digits of that "IQ" stuff, whatever that is!! And certainly NO Que*rs, neither!

Ya' Hear??

Of course he was right about backward people clinging to their guns and religion,so they will not have to face REALITY! I was so shocked at the time,that Obama had the nerve to voice this...I live right in the middle of those he was speaking of, and it's really shocking,the lengths to which they will go to maintain their delusions.

Mike, Mike, you can't really believe being more conservative will bring back the GOP. Get a new platform, we are tired of trickle down economics, lower taxes for the wealthy, fake Christianity, pro life, bigotry, intolerance, etc. This is the 21st Century, the way I see it, the GOP is the party that keeps looking backwards. Live and let live. If those in the GOP want to live by the republican platform, so be it but stop trying to push your so called values on everyone else. Everyone else should have the same right to choose the way they want to live.

Huckabee is delusional, so let the dim witted republicans go right, let them go far right all the way over the cliff.

[MsYellowDog]

That's right,Huckabee,double-down on a failed philosophy and sink faster than ever.Outside of the Deep South, you have no supporters,except when people are forced to chose between you and McBush,Guiliani,Thompson,et al.Your attitudes are childish in the extreme, also just as delusional as the rest of your Party Of ReWriting History, the Rethuglicans.

[TurkerB]

If Huckabee is referring to the thing between his ears, he's right for once. The GOP should run away from that as quickly as possible.....

[dwillisno1]

What do all these Right Wing Candidates have in common? They all think that somehow they have to find a way to bring back Ronald Reagan. or try to be him. Some try the "tear down this wall" cowboy thing, others the "great communicator", Huck is going for the true essence, "affable dunce."

[sociocanuck]

Evidently Huckleberry has no reality-based concept of the demographics of the population. It's a pity, every now and then when he's poised to seem like an almost decent person he does a complete 180 and insults pretty much every one of the centrist voters still delusionally clinging to the Republican Party despite the message from him and others like him: "We Don't Want You."

[Emlyn]

Let them turn more conservative. Maybe we won't hear about them for the next 40 years. That would be too soon for me.

[marijam]

Delusional, totally delusional. Sounds like Rush Limbaugh who wants to excommunicate the unpure.

[harriscrl3]

You do that hucksterbee get your fellow Rethugs and all MOVE TO THE RIGHT. You have my permission to move so far to the right that you fall off a cliff.

Newsflash Rethugs Saxy By Chambliss didnt win on November 4th HENCE the runoff that alone should prevent you from using him as some model for Rethugs in the future.

But go right ahead if you think you and Palin and others can win by moving to the far Right afte Bush ran this country into the ground being on the far right

I hope they run the wingnut dream team of Palin and Joe the Plumber in 2012.

[elimenez]

Yes! Yes! Please move to the right! Let us finish off whatever remains of your party are left!
