Club for Growth Releases Updated Huckabee White Paper
Club for Growth ^ | Nov. 13, 2007 | Club for Growth

Posted on 12/21/2007 2:13:47 PM PST by FocusNexus

In order to ensure that the presidential white papers continue to be thorough and relevant, the Club for Growth decided to issue an updated account of Mike Huckabee's economic record.

"Over the pas ten months, Governor Huckabee's embrace of his liberal economic record as governor and his populist, protectionist rhetoric on the campaign trail has only confirmed the Club for Growth's original assessment," said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. "Huckabee himself admits that he is a 'different kind of Republican,' a code word for more government involvement, less personal freedom, and greater dependence on government bureaucrats."

"Huckabee is proud of his tax hikes, his spending increases, and his regulatory expansions as governor, and he has not indicated that he would govern any differently as president. Nominating Mike Huckabee for president or vice-president would constitute an abject rejection of the free-market, limited-government, economic conservatism that has been the unifying theme of the Republican Party for decades."

I’ve become a supporter. I place more value on social issues than fiscal issues so the only candidates to choose from are Fred and Mike. Freds more conservative in many ways but he isn’t getting it done.
