The clear choice if you are a leftist who doesn’t give a d*mn about foreign policy, who has somehow managed to part company with your fellow leftists on when human life complete with human rights begins.
**Governor Mike Huckabee: The Clear Choice**
NOT!
Being that I’ve lived my whole life in huck’s neck of the woods I am proud to say that there is no way that I could ever vote for this jerk. He needs to go away and fast.
NO candidate in the race has flip flopped more on immigration that Huckabee:

Excerpts
LITTLE ROCK - In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” Huckabee said, citing the Golden Rule. “I have tried to govern that way and it stands to reason that I really do believe that what made this great country so great and so unique is that it has always been a place for people to run to - and not run from.
Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.
Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock
Huck is the FLIP FLOPPER supreme on immigration. He went from “we are a better country than that” to tough talk in a few days before IA.
I agree with many of your observations. It was a well written post.
And him calling me a racist and unchristian for not supporting his views isn't a winner, either.
--his record as governor for turning loose more felons than six of his neighboring states, is a horrible one. The mother of a girl murdered by a Huckabee released felon is voicing her opinion loudly and I don't blame her. The man should never have been released, but Huckabee assessed the matter with a Christian compassionate heart, not the judgement of a governor sworn to uphold laws..
--Huckabee clearly thinks Christian compassion should be shown by the govt. to illegals because they are the poor, the hungry, etc. the Statue of Liberty holds her arms out to. He cannot seem to differentiate between legal and illegal. He also can't seem to realize that Christ's words to feed the hungry and take care of the widows and children spoke to us as individuals, not as a govt. to make laws.(I have said that before, but Fred Thompson made that point today.)
--Huckabee certainly believes in education--the NEA variety, and there is no more liberally skewed orgn. in the country. He also believes we should pay for the college ed. of illegal students.
I won't mention taxes, except to say he evidently both lowered and raised them. My concern is for funding all the social programs he wants to fund--he is Clinton lite, and a prolife liberal.
His tax plan sounds good in sound bites, but it seems to me it would hit the poorest and single moms hardest--which would mean he and the Dem congress would have to raise the % of the fairflat tax so as not to cause hardship among the poor.
You may not think he is Jimmy Carter, but I think he is very similar and is campaigning on the very religious premises of Carter. He is also Elmer Gantry, using his rhetoric to glorify himself and fool the people.

Political vanity opus. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson “Go peddle crazy somewhere else. We’re all full here.”
Yeah, Old Jimmuh WAS a commie---but nobody knew that until well after the election because he successfully sold himself as a "born-again Christian from the South", which, a large section of the voting public (including me for a while) bought.
And the Huckster's positon on immigration is too much like the liberal Democrats (ACTIONS, not "policy statements").
We do not need the pretty boy from the Bay State born with a silver spoon in his the mouth or the grumpy old movie actor trying to make the case that everything will be OK. This will not sell in this atmosphere.
Take your stinkin’ populism somewhere else...
This is a presidential election not a “not left behind crusade”.
Rush is right about Huck the Cluck. You are wrong! Huck is another Carter clone, dressed in a Pubbie suit. His take on high taxes and illegals make him anything but a conservative. Fred’s the only one left that we can claim is a conservative.
It isn’t Limbaugh, Romney, Thompson, Barnes, Coulter, Ingraham & Hannity that are turning me against Huckabee. It’s the Huckabee and his disciples of deceit that are turning me against Huckabee.
