The CFG takes great pains to explain that Romney was working with a mostly Democrat legislature but fail to mention that the same was true for Huckabee. CFG praised Romney for cutting 300 million from the budget but fail to mention that Huckabee did the same thing.
CFG fails to mention that Arkansas has to have a balanced budget by law. Here is a quote from the Romney paper:
“Facing a $650 million deficit he inherited from the previous administration, Romney convinced the unfriendly State Legislature to grant him unilateral power to make budget cuts and unveiled $343 million in cuts to cities, healthcare, and state agencies.”
If Mass had a balanced budget law, Romney would have had to raise taxes by over 300 million.
Do you find it odd that the CFG would write it first paper on Huckabee back in January? It is also the only one to have an update.
I looked at one of the references from the CFG paper on Huckabee and found that CFG was trying to make Mike’s record look worse than it was. Im not saying his record is perfect but he more fiscally conservative than he gets credit for.

So, are you supporting Huckabee or just sick of this crap too?
