Mr. Huckabee was the only GOP candidate to refuse to endorse President Bush's veto of the Democrats' bill to vastly expand the Schip health-care program. Also, only he and John McCain have endorsed the discredited cap-and-trade system to limit global-warming emissions that has proved a fiasco in Europe. http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110010782


Good job, Mike! You're one of us.

"In addition, Corsi also exposed the fact that Mike Huckabee worked with Mexican President Vicente Fox to help provide cheap Mexican labor for Tyson Foods and other large Arkansas corporations. According to Corsi, "Trevino confirmed he was state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, also known as LULAC, an activist group strongly advocating for the rights of Hispanic immigrants in the U.S., when on Oct. 3, 2003, he accompanied Huckabee in a state airplane to visit [President Vicente] Fox in Mexico.""

I fact huckster should be in jail awaiting trial instead of running for anything.

One simply cannot be a “compassionate conservative” (grab your wallet) and a true fiscal conservative at the same time. Ya gotta fake it.

I agree.

QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"


Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

Socialism in America is advancing under the guise of two major issues: Healthcare and the green issues.

Huckabee is to the left of Giuliani on both of those and you can not name 5 Republicans (house, Senate ,Gov) who are to the left of Huck on those two.

He is the most socialistic Republican we have today at the national level. Period.

Nominating the Huckster will be a disaster, much worse than nominating Giuliani. Giuliani was mayor of a very liberal city so has has some excuse for some of his policies. In addition, nominating Giuliani is meant to possibly win some blue states. I doubt that Rudy will win any blue states but I understand the mentality.

The Huckster will not even run well in the south. The country does not want another Arkansas politician. His policies on global warming, energy, immigration, and spending will not be much different than rat policies. Without a clear choice, the rats will win in a landslide.

Bears repeating.

Can you imagine the dossier that the Clinton PI team must have on Huck?

You are 100% correct.

This is a great analysis on the Huckster from Allahpundit:

Huck’s sleight of hand here is classically left-wing, equating the denial of benefits to which the recipient was never entitled with “punishment,” the confiscation of a right already held.

He insists the scholarship program would have been a revenue-generator by turning tax-takers into taxpayers, in his formulation, but of course he doesn’t factor in the expense generated by the incentive it gives to further “tax-takers” to come to Arkansas and settle. The taxpayer/tax-taker thing’s a red herring anyway; this is obviously about charity for him, in which case it’s hard to discern why these scholarships should be limited by anything so mean as geography.

If we’re going to spend American citizens’ money on scholarships for bright foreign students, why not just send money to Canada or Mexico for that purpose? The only difference between the talented 17-year-old illegal alien in Little Rock and the talented 17-year-old in Mexico City is that the parents of the former broke the law and got away with it. If Huck’s hung up on that promise to seek citizenship that he mentions as being one of the requirements, no problem: I’m sure the kid in Mexico City will be willing to promise that too in exchange for a free education.

Bud Light presents: "REAL MEN OF GENIUS"

(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!

(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him...

(skim milk with three sweet and lows)

Sitting in a cubicle at campaign headquarters you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Salon, CNN and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR

(oooh, here's one from DU!)

Armed with nothing but talking points from Hucks' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat...

(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)

When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website

(copy, paste, copy, paste)

Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!

(Highly overrated)

All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.

(Praise the Lord!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...

(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

Bud Light beer. Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.

Huckabee is a Bush Republican.
If you liked the twelve Bush years, you will like Huckabee.
Read my lips, Huckabee will raise your taxes.

Mike Huckabee seems to say a lot of stuff that isn’t supported by the facts.

Ain't that the truth. And yet one of the arguments some pro-Huck Freepers love to use is that he's "honest."

What a crock.

Are Iowa Republicans on drugs?

Yup. I don't like Giuliani either, but I'd take him over the Huckster in a heartbeat. At least Rudy accomplished some conservative goals when he had power. Take on the mob, prevent tax increases, get people off welfare, etc.

What has Huckabee done as governor except tax and spend?

His record as governor is to the left of Bill Clinton's.
