Who would you vote for if it were Huckabee vs. Clinton?

[ute4ever]

Votes are anonymous

[Parrot Head]

Is that when Bloomberg steps in?

[Archaea]

I would at that time pray for the Bloomberg Express.

Anybody who would vote for Clinton under any circumstances should head to Mexico, they need more cokeheads there.

You left an option out. I'd go third party - probably Libertarian. I wouldn't want to claim to have had a hand in electing either of them.

why not Huckabee? He's conservative on social issues, and is moderate on economic issues.

Of course, he's been doing a lot of distasteful pandering, trying to veer rightward (just like Mitt did), so that goes against him.

Who cares about the social issues? he's a nut and doesn't believe in evolution.

He hasn't demonstrated any significant knowledge of foreign affairs, and I haven't seen any proof of being moderate economically.

Huckabee, thankfully, won't be in the contest. Hillary unfortunately looks like the Dem nominee.

Just curious ... why is the pandering such a big deal to you? I'm not saying I particularly like it, and I hate politicians who out right lie, but come on ... all politicians pander. Romney, Bush, Obama ... even the object of your affection John McCain.

There's something about tooling your message to the voters that's okay with me, so I'm willing to forgive some of it. There's an element of insincereity which is NOT okay with me, but I accept that it comes with the job. In the end, it's rarely the issue on which my vote turns, but it seems to be a really big deal to you.

Amen! I would probably vote for Satan himself, instead of Clinton. Or are they one in the same?

I believe Satan would try to distance himself from Mrs. Clinton.

I'd vote for Clinton over Huckabee and here is my reasoning:

The Clintons were not that awful on taxes which means I could weather the storm.

Hillary would have a difficult time ramrodding her "bills" through congress even though they have a majority. The GOP as well as Blue Dog Democrats would keep gridlock going.

Also if she were to follow in Bills footsteps regarding the military, geo political events would most certainly create another 9/11 type event that would force her hand and she would have to support military action.

The markets have dealt with the Clintons, and would adjust.

Huckabee however would be all that was bad about Bill Clinton combined with all that is bad about George W. I could see one of the worst economic depressions hitting our country with him at the helm. We would either be Soviet Union Light in regards to Mike taking a Christian Jihadist approach and attacking for the purpose of eliminating Islam all together, or a Neavueau France where we not only turn the other cheek, but spread both of them to take it up the rear.


Finally, I have an out. I can always move back to Sweden where they have been doing Social Democracy since the great Depression, so they are more experienced at it. The country is small in population so that construct while invasive would not be as painful to endure as it would be if the US were to turn socialist. Also I could at least enjoy a good meal complete with non pasteurized dairy products. If worse comes to worse I could always live way up North with the Salmis herding reindeer and fishing for salmon.
