I HEART HUCKABEE

by Malik Isasis






















The corporate media and their shills have developed a new crush on Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee who has risen to second place in the national polls and into first place in Iowa. They've been gushing over the mild mannered, and sweet demeanor of the Southern Baptist minister, and former Arkansas governor as if he were a breath of fresh air. But it’s if the media is giving us a redux of 2000 as thy portrayed George Bush as a breath of fresh air and as a compassionate conservative.

Mike Huckabee was one of three Republican presidential candidates who raised a hand when asked if they didn’t believe in evolution. It is clear that Huckabee is cresting on a wave of disaffected religious right who voted for Bush. And like Bush, he is driven by faith-based rather than reality-based ideology.

Pulling the Wool

Here is an example of a vacuous account of Huckabee: >Huckabee's rise in the polls is partly attributable to his style - a mix of self-deprecation, velvety voice, and sharp wit - honed during years of appearances on radio and television and in the pulpit. He aired a humorous commercial suggesting he would deal with illegal immigration by enlisting tough-guy actor Chuck Norris. When he was asked during a recent debate whether Jesus Christ would have shared his support for the death penalty, Huckabee batted the question away by saying, "Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office."

Just as Bush and Co. are using the same sales job for a war with Iran, the corporate media are repeating their sales job of Bush in 2000. Despite his “velvety” voice, Huckabee is for sustaining the occupation in Iraq, and expanding war and occupation to Iran. He’s Bush’s ideological twin, driven by a lack of imagination and is without any sense about the world community. If elected, he would surely be the capstone to the great fall of the United States continuing on with Bush's and the neocon's agenda of world domination.
