Problem is, while Huckabee isn’t as odious as a certain ex-Massachusetts Governor running for President, he did leave his state party in shambles and declining (zero statewide GOP officeholders and only 1 single Congressmember — a nearly complete collapse on his watch), in sharp contrast to virtually every other Southern state. His squishy position on illegals is also highly disturbing as well.
Wasn’t Huckabee an anomoly in Arkansas? Prior to him the place was a Democrat lock. The only reason he become governor in the first place was because the guy who followed Clinton was convicted of crimes and couldn’t remain in office.
I don’t see the validity of a claim that he screwed the place up. That place had been run like a criminal enterprise long before he entered the scene.
How many bodies were dropping like flies during his term in office? I can’t remember a single person having dropped dead within his inner circle.
Was he cheating on his wife? Did he subvert the state troopers? Did he benefit financially from land flips? Was he ever accused of raping women across the state? Did he every beat one of them severely? Did he bite any women? Was he known to have been using narcotics during his tenure in office? Did he sell state commissions for cash? Did he have the state medical examiner in his pocket? Did that medical examiner rule favorably against all evidence to benefit Huckabee, his family or friends?
Even with this list, I’m probably forgetting quite a bit. Look, Huckabee may not be our political hero, but compared to Bill Clinton and company, he’s F’n JC.
First time I heard him speak was on Glenn Beck the other night. He sounded extremely strong on illegals that night. Please tell me more about his squishiness. I really want to know.
