Well, I'm glad one of his supporters is listing his conservative bonafides. I tried to get another supporter to list why they felt Huck deserved conservative support and rather than provide any detail, he listed the campaign site.
Once I've done my initial research on the net, I'm not going to bother with a candidate's platform, I go by their track record.
I will say, and not as a flame, that while those points are good, fiscally Huckabee doesn't come on strong as a conservative and his record is ambiguous at best, with multiple tax hikes and nanny-state policies that drove me off immediately.
However, my advice is to continue to hammer his conservative record as much as possible. It's the only way to sustain interest in this forum.
Well, I actually would prefer Hunter to Huck. But it's all a matter of degree (& I'm not sure who's going to survive state by state). Since I prefer Huck to Romney & Huck to Giuliani & Huck to Paul, I'll defend his "good side" right now & concede the other consensus crits of him.
The main thing I don't like in these threads is the shrill, the tone, the whining, the sarcasms, the ad hominems against Huckabee. Finally someone posted what seems to be legit crits vs. Huckabee early today--see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1947524/posts (but I just went there now & noticed only 42 posts...I don't get it...somebody will post something very minor & very trivial to ride Huckabee on...& you'll instantly see 75-100-125 posts...with plenty of venom to boot...but then somebody posts something more significant concern-wise about Huck...and it can't even scratch 50 posts.)
