Voters everywhere are asking the same question: Is Governor Huckabee a conservative or a progressive? Progressivism is a modern marketing package to hide the fact that someone is a liberal. Since liberalism has lost popularity among the voters, this shrewd marketing plan was created to rebrand liberals as progressives so some voters might be fooled into voting for someone they would otherwise not support.
To find out whether Governor Huckabee is a conservative is simple. Look at his platform and his principles. When he ran to become the nominee of The Republican party in the past, he was the only leading candidate who proposed a system called The Fair Tax. Mike proposed eliminating all income taxes, social security taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, capital gains taxes, alternative minimum taxes, corporate and small business self-employment taxes, and Medicare payroll taxes. He proposed simplifying the tax system so dramatically that there would be no more need for the IRS. In principle, he believes the Government should serve the people rather than cause them to experience great pain and paralyzing fear like many experience at tax time. By shutting down the IRS, he wants to make politicians focused on serving their constituents within limited Government constitutional boundaries.
Does that sound like any kind of progressive or liberal you have ever heard? Simple Answer: NO!

Huckabee was a tax-hiking pro-amnesty governor. During the campaign, he was also a bigot.
Those aside, he is a great conservative.
Huck from What I’e seen is that he is a BIG GO\/ERNMENT Conser\/ati\/e. That is the wrost kind!!
Huckabee is a typical wanna-be, RINO elite, hoping to schmooze his way into the good graces of those who choose the nominee. Like Gingrich, he will cajole, sell out, betray and do anything he considers necessary to keep himself in the good graces of the party ruling class. He’s as trustworthy as Chuck Schumer.
Southern Baptists voting for Huckabee = blacks voting for Obama. Same day, different plantation.
Huck's first instinct is to view the state as the solution, not the (previously) free citizens of our Republic.
You post many threads without responding to the comments. Will this be another one?
Christian-Socialist is an oxymoron....as is Christian-Marxist. Huck is a New Ager....a psuedo-Christian. He uses the words of Christ to twist and deform the true meaning of Christianity—As all fake Christians....they think government putting a gun to the back of the head of taxpayers is charity. Many of his “compassionate” ideas come out of the head of Hegel and Marx....both atheists.

Seems some of my links came out wrong. They have the number to this thread for some reason followed by the link to the other articles. You’ll have to search by title for the articles that don’t work or try to erase the part of the link that corresponds to this article and use the rest.
For example the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2708887/www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2640650/posts
Should have been really:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2640650/posts
Not sure what went wrong but as I said: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2708887/posts is this link to this article and so that first part on most of the links is the number of this post.
Why? This appears to be from your own blog, so there is no need to excerpt. Looking for hits to your blog? Hmmm?
Well Bill? Over 50 responses and you haven’t come back. This is a forum, not a soapbox (or venue for free blog advertising). Any responses to the challenge of your original statement?
Thou hast done his homework. Upchuckabee is almost as clueless as Obama.
The huckster is as liberal as a person can get without being a total socialist. He raised taxes and spent more money in Arkansas than Bill Clinton. He pushes for pardons for anyone who wants one, no matter what the convict did. What better candidate would a democrat want?
