[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

While Arkansas is a predominantly Democratic state, Huckabee won two full terms in landslides. He championed tax increases for public schools, expanded state insurance programs for the children of the working poor and opposed banning state services for illegal immigrants.

This is conservative? This is pure RINOism.

[Carry_Okie]

Thank you Mr. Huckabee for diluting the RINO pool.

[Ramius]

I've only heard Huckabee talk once, on some radio show, but I was impressed. We'll see...

[moose2004]

Good buy, but he doesn't have a chance at winning the nomination, much less the general.

[AdvisorB]

Yawn.

[BW2221]

I've heard Huckabee is very weak on border security and illegal immigration.

[WalterSkinner]

..adding a former Baptist pastor to the discussion can only be a good thing IMHO...

Mike Huckabee Launches Presidential Bid

LOL!

All I can add to the discussion is a firm "who"? ; )

[BW2221]

The open border lobby will be very well-rep-resented in the primaries - every Democrat plus McCain, Giuliani, Browback, Huckabee.

Anybody represent the tax-paying gringos?

My wife and I met him and had dessert with his wife at the FReepers' Inaugural Ball a couple of years ago. They're nice folks and he plays a mean guitar. That said, yes, he is a bit of RINO.

[Unmarked Package]

Lowering taxes is one of the major core principles that distinguish the Republican platform from the Democrat platform. It's also one of the few remaining issues that nearly all Republican politicians agree on at present.

I have some serious misgivings about Mike Huckabee's commitment to this core conservative principle based on his wishy-washy position on the tax issue since announcing his candidacy.

Mike Huckabee Won't Rule Out Raising Taxes

Huckabee creates exploratory committee
Sanctimonious illegal immigration supporter Mike Huckabee will create an exploratory committee for a possible presidential run. Like "compassionate conservative" Bush, he manages to combine the bad side of "conservatism" with the bad side of "liberalism", mixing together social conservatism, corporatism, and support for "multiculturalism" and tying it together under a sanctimonious bow:

"My brand of conservatism is not an angry hostile brand. It's one that says 'conservative' means we want to conserve the best of our culture, society, principles and values and pass them on."

In the past he spoke highly of both Tyson Foods and LULAC, and he offered his support to illegal aliens who'd been caught in a raid of a Petit Jean Poultry plant in Arkadelphia.

Get ready to learn more than "uno" and "aqua" under a Huckabee admistration.

The anti-property rights governor of Arkansas? No way. I won't be voting for smoke nazis.

[wolfcreek]

The only thing I know is, he's good at losing weight and espouses physical fitness. That said, he's just another form of Rudy McRomney. RINO!
