Philosophy
As you may recall from previous occasions, whenever Jon Stewart and Mike Huckabee have had a debate, their conversation has always been civil. I appreciate that, and while I disagree with Huckabee on most points, I respect a candidate who's able to engage in a respectful dialogue about differences of opinion.
Then again, I've always had the impression that Huckabee tailors his rhetoric with a perfectly good understanding of who the audience listening to him is. Yes, sly politician...
So, while he makes reasonable points to a liberal audience while talking to a progressive, he may go bat shit crazy while talking to what he would consider his more 'real' audience (like advocating the idea that the religious view of fundamentalist history distortionist David Barton be taught in public schools), but it's only a matter of time before someone like Jon Stewart calls him on his prestidigitation, and the result is some awesome ass kicking... in a civil manner, of course :)
Here's part 2:
And part 3:
But don't worry, Mike Huckabee has the support and protection of Chuck Norris :)

When you claim that Mitt Romney's wife, a mother of five children, has never worked a day in her life... that's going to upset virtually any sane and compassionate person. Sure, Ann Romney most likely had all kinds of maids, babysitters, nannies...

Part of my growing opposition to libertarianism and political conservatism is due to the fact that they are shallow and myopic philosophies based on the unrealistic illusion of self-sufficiency and individual isolationism, and I don't think...
