Former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee appeared on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Sunday to discuss his candidacy. Huckabee was asked about former Arkansas governor and president Bill Clinton, who shares Huckabee's hometown of Hope, Arkansas. Huckabee elaborated on Clinton's personal history and then stated, "Bill Clinton is an affirmation of the American Dream."

I asked because I see some many people who absolutely HATE Clinton on these boards and I assumed anyone who admired Clinton's rise would abhor Huckabee's statement, I mean look you call Clinton a rapist but what do you affer has proof, you call him a crook but man you spent 7 years and $70,000,000.00 trying to find something on him to undue his election and after all that what did you get? A lie about a personal matter that while unsavory dealt more with his private rather than his public life, you know Like Scooter's memory lapse

Who cares? Huckabee isn't a strong candidate for the Presidency, although both sides of the aisle have to admit that he has done some good things as Governor of Arkansas.
Romney, McCain and Giuliani are viable candidates. My bet is on Romney, even at this early stage.

Well, I never heard of Huckabee before, so I doubt if his statement is going to make much of a difference in the elections. Guys like him disappear soon into the process.

To compliment someone of a different political party is not a sin. It is called tolerance and the left should try it. To lose faith because of a "nice word" is very shallow and narrow minded.

I am Republican but I haven't studied this guy yet. I don't have a liking for any of them on either side so far. I think the Democrats have the bottom of the rung screwups of all time but I'm not at all happy with the Republicans choices either.

I haven't accepted the Republicans as the poster party for the conservative movement in some time now; therefore, I never gave a **** about Huckabee to start with.

I lost faith.
FYI: Anyone named Huckabee will never become president of the U.S. He could be our best president ever, but the voters will not take him seriously because he has a funny sounding last name. Sad but true IMHO.

You are a liberal trying to divide Republicans and it isn't going to work.
Huckabee was right in his statement, Clintoon worked his way up just like the classic tale of the American dream. Once he got into power though Clintoon was a corrupt and inept leader who let Osama go free on numerous occasions and did nothing after the terrorists attacked the World Trade Center.

Why would I lose faith because of that? What he was saying even a rapist and a crook can become president.

Never liked him to begin with he's a loser. Duncan or Tancredo in 08.
