Huckster is a fraud, a liar, and about as pro-illegal as they come. He almost single-handedly destroyed the AR GOP on his watch.

realize that but whatever promises were made were Lies in point of fact and even more so now. Whether I like it or not, if there are not enough workers,i.e., Demographics to make the Ponzi scheme work then it can't. I see no real choice but to cut benefits if the programs are to survive in their current state.

The options include raising dividend, interest and capital gains taxes to earned income tax levels, as was partially done to fund Obamacare, cutting welfare and cutting defense. Which will result in able-bodied leechers, Warren Buffett and other limo liberals and America's allies aka military dependents abroad screaming blue murder.

Yet another possibility is to limit the mortgage interest deduction to homes priced below $150K. That would raise $60b a year.

Friends don't let friends vote for Huckabee.

Okay, they "let" them, but if you tell people you're thinking of voting for Huckabee you may get a lot of grimaces and grunts.

He was very popular with FELONS, as he released HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS for no reason...giving them pardons. There are 4 DEAD COPS in Washington State due to him.

So he can take his brand of “compassionate conservatism” and SHOVE IT.

....Huck’s potential as a disruptive factor in this campaign.
____________________________________________________________ That's why his buddies in the GOP Establishment pushed him into this race; probably with the promise of a pay-off down the road. They want him to disrupt the Conservative side of the field. I'm hoping that after 8 years, people will look at him (like many are looking at Hillary) and say: "No thanks; you are yesterday's news. We want a new, young, fresh face. Take your fat ugly wife and your fat ugly kids and go back to your trailer in Arkansas."

Huckabee is like Ron Paul was. He has a small army of supporters who are enthusiastic and loyal, but there aren’t many of them. He’ll have a problem raising money, and drop out early, but until then he’ll be interesting.

He was a full-term governor. More than once.

So you’re all for pisspoor judgment to pardon people to immediately go off and rape and murder (cops even) again?

No, I’m not in favor of that. See my tag line. Pardoning is something governors do, a symptom of the disease.
