Huckabee says 2 states in Holy Land 'unrealistic' - Yahoo! News

JERUSALEM – Former U.S. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Tuesday there should be no Palestinian state in the West Bank and endorsed Israeli settlements there, sharply disagreeing with Washington and much of the world.

A three-day tour of Israel, hosted by a far-right group of religious nationalists, is taking Huckabee to some of the most contentious hotspots in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including a West Bank settlement outpost that even Israel's hard-line government considers illegal and an east Jerusalem housing project that the Obama administration has demanded be halted.

Oh, my god, you backwoods republi-tard, who gave you permission to talk? You're a FORMER candidate. No one wanted you. You don't represent us. Shut up.
 
Huckabee cracks me up. The dude is a nut case.
 
No one listened to me in 1991, but nothing good is EVER going to come of electing people from Arkansas. EVER.
 
Except, if the cultural differences and political climate there doesn't change, he's most likely right in this instance.

Well with the far religious right encouraging the people in the settlements to stay put, that will make things better. :roll:

The problem is much much more difficult than just settlements, and it's been going on since post WWII, the U.N. created Israel with forfeited Axis land and unfortunately displaced some groups of muslims, which pissed them off, but instead of coming to a tenable solution or backing at least one side, the U.N. seems to like to play around with it and only referees every once in a while, trying to get Israel to make concessions and settle for cease fires that are one-sided against their nation, tensions are flaring, and instead of a powerful voice telling both sides to chill out and compromise, the U.N. really just ends up throwing gasoline on the fire by passively encouraging this stuff by inaction.
 
How about this, we let the Israelis and Palestinians kill each other on their own. Let Darwin sort them out, Im sick of dumping money in that hell hole.

Yuck. We have smart people in Arkansas. It's just the state is so anti-education and pro-smooth talk that we get strange candidates to run for office. That being said, Clinton wasn't a bad President. Perhaps a bad husband, but not a bad President.
 
Only if you're a Liberal.


Nope. Stupid is stupid. It's not ideologically driven. And nuts is nuts. The ultimate GOP stupid/nuts ticket would be Palin/Huckabee. Wow.
 
Horrifying.

But admit it, the campaign would be the most entertaining EVER. It would also be the death of the GOP for a time, but it would be great fun. You would literally never run out of material with those two. It would be an avalanche of crazy and stupid.

But who should the democtats choose to run with Cynthia McKinney?

Well, Maxine Waters comes immediately to mind. But you can't have a ticket with two black women.
 
Yeah, but he's pretty honest for a politician.

Huckabee IS quite honest for a politician, but he is the most dangerous kind of politician there is. I was leaning towards voting for him in the Republican primary, that is, until he made his statement that we should change the Constitution for Jesus. And, therein, lies the danger, which is a slippery slope towards the same kind of theocratic government that exists in Iran. Never forget that, in the Colonies, when governments were typically theocratic, we burned witches.

Well, he's correct of course. The Palestinians are unable to manage their own affairs without devolving into anarchy as it is.

Add to that that they are as a whole determined to commit acts of mindless violence against their neighbors, and rational people will be forced to conclude that a viable state for them is less than impractical.

One does not simply run up a flag over a rabble and announce that they are thereby transformed into a state.

The Palestinians (a fairly contrived designation) are unlikely to have the cohesion to form so much as a territory for the foreseeable future.

Reality is tough, but it remains real.

Cite for me please, one single, solitary example of anyone ever burnt for witchcraft in the American Colonies.

Oh, this should be fun!

Although we preferred hanging our witches, the point is valid. He also said when science contradicts the Bible, he chooses the Bible. No thanks.

I suppose hanging them was far better and really changes his point?
