Its going to be based on his elimination of the other candidates on principle. He can’t support McCain (the author of amnesty), he can’t support Giuliani who never met an abortion he didn’t like, and he won’t support Romney due to Romney’s refusal to make a public statement against the Bain Capital deal which Hunter believes will sell out American Security to China. He also agrees with Huckabee on China, the Fair Tax, Abortion, and the protection of marriage. Huckabee is also now running on a conservative immigration platform (even though his record as governor was abysmal) which is more than most of the other candidates are doing now. Huckabee is not a great candidate but Hunter didn’t have a lot to choose from.
He should have not endorsed anyone and just gone back home. I guess it’s friendship thing or something. Kind of like Thompson not attacking McCain during the debates. As far as I know, Fred hasn’t endorsed McCain and I hope he stays out of it until the nomination is over!
I have a problem with the fair tax because it is a safe haven for Huckabee to hide behind. It is unlikely to pass and rightly so without a Constitutional Amendment to abolish the income tax which is an unsurmontable hurdle taking a period of time outlasting the next Presidents two terms. Without it I am against it because we WILL end up paying both (as a matter of fairness to the poor). Therefore Huckabee’s refusal to discuss his tax plan in the event his Fair Tax doesn’t pass or at least until the Constitutional Amendment is ratified is tantamount to not being willing to pursue the reduction of taxes and making permanent the Bush tax cuts...........sc
