JANUARY 26, 2015 Reality Check on Huckabee There’s no hiding his highly problematic record in Arkansas. By Quin Hillyer

Late last week, a nasty little scuffle of the premature 2016 presidential campaign reminded us why both Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee should be kept miles away from the Republican presidential nomination. It also reminded us that Huckabee thinks he can sell snake oil even to water moccasins. Neither the moccasins nor Republican voters should buy what he’s selling.

To be called to the ministry is one thing, to abandon that calling causes one to wonder if he was ever “called” to begin with. His gospel seems to somewhat left of the Gospel of Jesus. Just say’n

“Neither the moccasins nor Republican voters should buy what he’s selling.”

Yeah, well. They shouldn’t, but people often do. That’s why we’ve had a RINO infestation in the party for years.

The media. And bigtime. They want the sheeple to think the shallow, fakey, Huckabee is the exemplar of conservatism.

After reading the article, I took a look at the comments. There is an article about that DuMond guy. Pretty creepy.

What no mention of the blood on his hands (Huckabee, A.K.A. The Huckster) and the 4 police officer's killed in Seattle by the guy he pardoned.

See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Clemmons

Or do your search "4 Seattle Police officers killed & Huckabee" I get About 10,766 results.

I couldn’t listen to him on Fox...I sure won’t be listening to him otherwise either.

Sometimes we meet or hear people we simply don’t like...he’s one of those for me....and he’s certainly not the leader we’re going to need coming up.

In AR they call him “Tax Hike Mike”. Do we really need to know any more about him?

Yep. Contrast the attitude of two self-proclaimed born again Christians.

G.W. Bush (refusing to pardon a murderess before her execution): I'm glad she found Jesus while in prison. She should look forward to meeting him.

Huck: As the spokesman of Jesus, I pardon Mr. Clemmons.
