Huckabee for President Campaign Manager Chip Saltsman issued the following statement in response to news releases by the Thompson campaign about Governor Mike Huckabee:
"The desperate attacks on Governor Huckabee by Fred Thompson are evidence that Fred's show is running out of material and he's left to cranking out re-runs. Fred has been confused about being pro-life, but Governor Huckabee never has been. Governor Huckabee helped successfully lead the passage of human life amendment in his state and as governor signed numerous pro-life bills. Fred was taking money as a Washington lobbyist to be a mouthpiece for a pro-abortion group when Governor Huckabee was leading the March for Life. Governor Huckabee always has supported a Human Life Amendment, but also knows that the repeal of Roe v. Wade is better than the current laws.
"The Thompson campaign is also distorting Governor Huckabee's views on illegal immigration by failing to recognize that sealing the border is his top priority. Regarding legislation to stop illegals from getting drivers' licenses, Act 2210 of 2005 was signed into law by Governor Huckabee. The legislation made it illegal for a driver's license to be issued to anyone who could not prove legal residency in Arkansas.
"It's not surprising that Fred has hired an attack dog to churn out the very kind of 'hit and run' politics that Americans are sick of. Governor Huckabee is rising to Fred's fall precisely because he is telling America what he would do to solve America's problems while Fred is left to trying to resort to political dumpster diving."

Huckabee reminds me of Professor Harold Hill.
One person’s “nasty” is another person’s truth. Hillary accused Edwards of mud-slinging when he simply cited her record. Same with Huckabee. He calls any attempt to examine his liberal record as “negative attacks”. That’s what people with a negative record always say.
most of what Huck supporters call "nasty" is just the truth. Huck is the biggest fraud running on the Rep side. He is an outright fraud. His record show that his core belief is to grow government and raise taxes. It is laughable that anyone could state that Huck is a conservative.
And up is down...
If the Huckster’s number one priority is sealing the borders, why did he try to give in-state tuition to illegals and claim that Amnesty was god’s way of giving evil white people a second chance. I believe the Huckster is a conservative about like I believe Romney is a conservative.
One thing you can say about Chip Saltsman, when he gets hired, he stays hired. He’s a complete professional even when he’s standing knee deep in the shiggy.
all I needed to know about Huck is here

In Huckster’s case, Saltsman has already been buried in the sheezit clear above his head.
Man, this election is making me wanna puke already. All these freakin BABIES running for president. "WHAAAAA! He ATTACKED me!"
Huckabee strikes me as a nonconservative (big government true-believing) opportunist. Romney strikes me as an ambitious opportunist. Neither what we’re looking for, though in a pinch I’d sooner take Romney.
The fact you’re quoting Salon only furthers your liberal leanings.
Huckabee for dogcatcher bump. (Sorry, Giuliani-you’ve got some competition)
Please take him somewhere far, far away!
National Defense & Immigration are the reason Military & Veterans are supporting Fred:
Huckhead is too weird for me......Fred Dalton is presidential material in spades
It seems that Huckabee, and the others are squealing because the facts regarding their backgrounds are just now coming out, overshadowing the PR releases.
Huckabee is a Dem in Rep clothing. Higher taxes, bring in the illegals, all are part of his public record. We’ve heard much more about him down here in Texas than people in Iowa. I’m sure Iowans (is that correct?) will know much more about him in the next month.
