Now, have I ever been tempted to break into a Krispy Kreme doughnut store in the middle of the night? Oh, yeah. God help us if I had a minibar stocked with cheesecake and chicken-fried steak. – Mike Huckabee
Beyonce is incredibly talented – gifted, in fact. She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing. She is a terrific dancer – without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom. – Mike Huckabee
I say Republicans aren’t right all the time. Democrats aren’t wrong all the time – now, maybe most of the time, but not all the time. – Mike Huckabee
A lot of people really like Jeb Bush. I’m one of them. I think Jeb Bush is a great guy. He was a terrific governor in Florida. He’s smart. He’s articulate. So I can certainly understand why people would him an attractive candidate. – Mike Huckabee
I think America is in trouble, but it’s not beyond repair. But it’s going to take leadership who sees the greatness of this country and who believes that, once again, we can be one nation under God. – Mike Huckabee
I never, ever, had a person who could come up with the name of a person who could not get a job because an illegal immigrant had stepped in front of them, because it was either a job that person didn’t want to do or didn’t exist. – Mike Huckabee
I think at the heart of the pro-life movement is the idea that all people are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights starting with life. – Mike Huckabee

One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you’re on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it’s running away. – Mike Huckabee
I find it unnecessary, useless and frankly a bit unnecessary to get into all sorts of debates over President Obama’s religion or the authenticity of his birth. I know for some people that it is an obsession. It is not with me. – Mike Huckabee

The military is not a social experiment. The purpose of the military is kill people and break things. It’s not to transform the culture by trying out some ideas that some people think would make us a different country and more diverse. The purpose is to protect America. – Mike Huckabee

My working poor parents told me that I could do better. – Mike Huckabee
For Democrats to reduce women to beggars for cheap government-funded birth control is demeaning to the women that I know who are far more complicated than their libido and the management of their reproductive system. – Mike Huckabee
Divorce is one of the key predictors of poverty for a child growing up in a home that’s broken. – Mike Huckabee

Doesn’t matter whether it’s a teen girl who’s pregnant, hasn’t told her parents, or an elderly couple dealing with one of them being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Those are real people to me. Those are the people I dealt with every single day. – Mike Huckabee
I’m an independent conservative. And what I mean by that – when I think we’re right, I’m with us all the way, and I am a conservative. And I think my record reflects that. – Mike Huckabee
