Boy, the Left are experts on EVERYTHING, even a guy at some tiny blog no one knows about! Just ask them!

I guess they’re afraid he’ll take votes that “belong” to Jebbie.

Wallace followed up by going after Huckabee for his suggestion that if he is elected president he would not follow Supreme Court ruling that he disagreed with.

Many, dare I say most, Supreme Court decisions are contrary to the plain meaning of the Constitution (and I think they know it.)

Presidents, as well as all other government officials, take an oath to uphold the Constitution, not the opinions of Supreme Court.

What blog?

Fox News is not a single entity. Different interviewers have different styles and agendas. Chris Wallace is a news guy and will ask tougher questions of any guest. Most of the softball interviews have been Hannity, who makes no bones about his agenda. Of course he’s not going to beat up people he agrees with.

What’s new?? That bastard plays gotcha with ALL Republicans. I think he is auditioning for Steffy’s job.

“You want to abolish the IRS and create a fair tax, which as you say is a national sales tax,”

A Small Question....who will collect the Fair Tax?

Horrid, misleading article.

Watching the video is mandatory.

I don’t care if Fox news does or doesn’t approve of the Huckster. I will NEVER vote for him.

[piroque]

Quite a few on Fox are pulling for ,for some reason wonder for whom ?

Chris Wallace is not an idiot. He probably understands the Fair Tax, but he was still making ignorance-based arguments against it.

[MN_Mike]

Not a supporter of Huckster at all. And I noticed that Huckster didn’t answer the question:

Are you saying President Huckabee might decide he wasn’t going to obey the ruling on desegregation or President Nixon to turn over the tapes? That it’s up in the air whether you are going to obey the Supreme Court?”

Huckabee replied, “I want to get back to the main point. It’s a matter of balance of power.

[FredZarguna]

Sorry, I can't agree.

There is nothing whatever wrong with asking difficult questions, and a serious presidential candidate -- particularly one pushing for something as unfamiliar to most people as the Fair Tax should welcome them.

If you know your subject matter and believe in it, a tough question is one you're prepared for and is an opportunity to hit one out of the park.

As yet, I see no evidence that Wallace would not be asking Hillary the same kinds of questions. He has been tough on Democrats, including and certainly not limited to, Bill Clinton in the past.

Huckabee is a stalking horse for Jeb Bush. But even if he is not [and especially if he is not], he needs to answer difficult, fact-based questions about his platform.

“the average rate for the lowest income group would exceed 33% while the average rate for the top group would fall to less than 16%.”

Therein lies the reason the Fair Tax isn't fair, even with the "prebate," which is too complicated to explain in a sound bite.

I am in favor of a flat tax where everyone pays the same rate and deductions are limited to only charitable contributions and municipal bonds with a cap on both.

[mjp]

any republican for the fair tax is a deal breaker for me

[arthurus]

The flat tax plan is the only thing that makes him interesting.

[woofie]

This is a BS opinion piece...I don’t care what the questions are ....a candidate can seize the opportunity to get his/her message across

"I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. Nor is there in this view any assault upon the court or the judges. It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes." - Abraham Lincoln

[Mister Da]

The stupid PoliticusUSA author apparently doesn’t know the difference between the Flat Tax & the Fair Tax.

The Fair Tax is a sales tax replacing the income tax. The Flat Tax is an income tax, a simplification of the current system.
