I used to like Mike, not anymore.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee wants to ban the term "RINO" -- "Republican in Name Only" -- in the Republican Party.

The former governor complained in a letter to supporters that during a recent social media outreach, he was disturbed that too many Republicans were attacking each other and calling them names.

"Many of you used a term that I'd like to see outlawed from the vernacular of the party: RINO," he said, calling it a "pejorative term" that questioned one's purity.

Huckabee pointed out that he got a tweet from someone who complained that he was a RINO, which upset him.

I was never a fan... especially after that cop killing thing and he kept dancing around it.  Some politicians think they have to compromise... Huckabee craves it...

Yep, epitome of RINO.
I never knew much about him until I caught his TV show a few times, then the RINO bled out, like a gutted pig in a slaughter house.

So does this mean he won't make the 2014 vetting forum?

We could always stop calling them RINO and call them what they really are, corporate crony socialists back stabbing bastards that need to be strung up.
Or ass holes, for short.

Especially him, because it is easy for people to get fooled by him.

Yep, he's quite the talker, his first show seemed pretty good, no rino crap, but the next two were over the top religious right RINO all the way.

I think it is a great idea. If RINO is outlawed we can simply refer to them more accurately as Liberals...

I like Huckabee. Decent man. Good gov. Good talk show host. Stick with your strengths gov...

Looks like the Huckster is a typical liberal that wants to implement speech codes.

Now don't go overboard...

He's like a progressive traditionalist 'dad', or something.  He's okay right where he is... television.  -As a cross between Tennessee Ernie Ford and Lawrence Welk... in a harmless way.  Beck's correct in comparing him to Lindsay Graham.

Mike Huckabee is a Christian minister. As such he is probably far more forgiving than the normal run of the mile Republican. If you notice, Christian ministers - of whatever faith - are alway ready to forgive. They simply don't see sinners as we do.

Huckabee's an ass.  He's a DC / MSM creation, a caricature of a "good conservative" as they like to define them.  So he uses this to get radio shows and general fame.

I sort of halfways acknowledged his presence as some kind of Christian conservative, until the shutdown debacle.  He was one of the loudest a-holes insulting Cruz and the real conservatives, parroting all the MSM meme's of "DEFAULT !"  and other stupid schyte.

If you like this guy, you must be a Christie, Jeb, Rubio fan.  There's not an ounce of difference when the chips are down and they choose DC over real conservatism.

Yeah.  That pretty well says it.
