Seems to be a very articulate and personable man. Is he another Bush? Certainly not. He is one of the few who solidly stands behind my 2A rights, which implies to me that he is for individual rights. To diverge for a minute, I think it is deplorable how so many have fallen under the sway of the media's villification of George Bush, mostly because of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. They take every opportunity to make him look stupid. The man flew advanced military aircraft in the National Guard and I can guarantee that stupid people need not apply for that job. His main fault is that he is a pitiful communicator. One admirable trait he has is that he is not afraid to say what he thinks, and he stands behind it. Whether or not I agree with him, I can say that I know where he stands. It amazes me how quickly Americans have turned against the War on Terror. Is it a good thing? I don't have a crystal ball to look into the future and know for certain. Neither does anyone else. I will let history be the judge of that. Did people think it would be an easy, practically overnight thing?, Evidently. We have come to expect everything right away and when it doesn't come, we moan and complain. We as a nation don't have the guts to hang in there anymore. That's the truth. The next president will come in and wind down the war and we can leave with "honor" as Nixon proclaimed in Vietnam, after which untold numbers of innocent Vietnamese were killed and imprisoned. That could very well be the case in Iraq. History teaches many important lessons, but we're just too ignorant to learn them. To tie my comments back to the topic of this thread, I think the attempt to compare Huckabee to Bush is bogus and without merit.
