"...going after Mitt mainly for his wealth..."

LOL Mitt's commie policies don't mean a thing then? You people are a joke with your accusations when the facts are overwhelming...Mitt is not even close to any type of conservative....To h@ll with the money.

Whatabout Huckabee's ARKIDS! The predecessor to CHIPS at the State level. He did it all by himself, with the help of all the democrats in the State house. He bought the governors office with taxpayer money and instituted State funded free medical care!

This is just one of Hucks social programs. He was no different then the dems or Romney in this respect. But he was never honest about it, and Romney was.

The only conservative thing about Huckabee is his social viewpoint. Frankly, that does not cause me to sing his praises.

As for Romney, I have no clue why he ran for office in Massachusetts. To win there, you have to run as a left leaning centrist. He did, and it is hurting him. It will continue to hurt him.

Huckabee, on the other hand, ran as a conservative and governed as a left leaning centrist. By the time he was done, there was no Republican party left in my state. He had them fighting each other over social issues on one side and fiscal issues on the other. As a result the democrats took it all. 100% of the primary political seats.

The lesson learned is that there can be no political benefit to being centrist or moderate. That social conservatism is not a real platform. It's just a opinion and everyone has opinions. Social conservatism has to be well connected to fiscal conservatism in order to have a base of support and you can't rely on just social conservatives. If you do, your base falls apart.

Huckabee spent like a democrat. That is his legacy here in Arkansas. The Democrat who replaced him is more conservative than he was!
