Huckabee Hits Cruz For "Low-Life, Sleazy Politics"
The Hill ^ | February 10, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is criticizing Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz for what he calls "low-life, sleazy politics."

Huckabee, who suspended his presidential campaign after a poor performance in Iowa, attacked Cruz's campaign for telling people on the night of the caucuses that rival Ben Carson would be dropping out of the race.

"I can attest to the fact that even in our campaign there were many efforts to try and say that people shouldn't vote for me or Rick Santorum or Ben Carson," Huckabee said on his podcast this week, Buzzfeed News reported.

"The Cruz people said it would be a wasted vote and they should vote for Cruz. It wouldn't have made a difference for any of use but it is the kind of low-life, sleazy politics people truly get sick of."...

Didn’t he used to have a television show where he played the banjo and cooked squirrel?

Yes, and one of his shows featured an interview with actress Meryl Streep--who endorsed Obama--that took up the show's entirety.

The Huckster condemning “sleazy politics” is like a Nazi condemning anti-Semitism.

It was pointed out to me that even though all other campaigns had the same access to CNN reporting ONLY the Cruz campaign set forth a story and press release that Ben Carson had left the race and took it upon themselves to inform the caucus goers.

Surprising? Nope.

Lol, now you are not allowed to tell a Huckabee or Santorum or Carson voter they are wasting their vote unless they vote for Cruz?

The world has gone nuts.

I guess the Huskster either has forgotten or doesn’t know the politicking is what goes on during caususes.

Exactly! They WERE wasting their votes. I bet Ted’s “bagmen” were telling Huck’s donors they were wasting their MONEY. Telling the truth is sleazy?

I wish Huck had this much energy to attack the enemy. Of course, then he wouldn’t be sought out by the media or quoted.

Speaking of sleazy politics, this one stars Trump and his "cronies in government working together."

Parking Lot
