pissant, I see the train coming down the track from miles away....A gun grabbing baby killer in Giuliani gets the nomination and then feels he needs a left wing theocrat whose only two conservative positions are Rudy's weakness....guns and abortion. The Huckster gets tapped as VP. Than it becomes BABY KILLER/NANNY STATER '08!
LOL!! Nice.
Myself , pissant, ob1knob are starting a ping list to enlighten the rest of the FR community of his serial tax raising, open borders, smoker banning, obesity crusading liberal agenda. I figured this would be a good place to start.
If Anybody wants to be on the Stop Huckster ping list, please let me know. Gabz, SheLion let me know if you or any of the people on your nanny state ping lists would be interested as well.
If we let this nanny stater gain higher office or even a VP nomination, it sends a message to every other public serpent in the country that there is no negative political cost for discriminating against smokers, eaters, drinkers etc. It says to the world “Feel free to dump on the smokers, they obviously like it since someone can kick them out of bars and then still run for President as a Republican.”
We need to send a message that is loud and clear...if you want to ban smokers or crusade for fat taxes....there will be a price to pay.
Who’s with us?
“Than it becomes BABY KILLER/NANNY STATER ‘08!”
Oh the irony!
Any conservative who may be considering supporting the Huckster needs to spend a little time reading up on his antics as governor of our state in the follwing articles. Then if you decide to support him, don't whine later that you didn't know what you were supporting.
Reasons why Arkansas' ex-Governor Mike Huckabee is a RINO and no longer fit for public office
From TheBattman - 6/7/7:
Long and short on Huckabee from his record:
Positives:
1. Has been very strong on gun rights (CCW, protecting gun makers from stupid lawsuits).
2. Pro-Marriage: Marraige protection Act was his baby along with covenant marriage.
3. Pro-life
Negatives:
1. Supported taxes (Old-fashioned Tax-and-Spend politician)- engineered a 3% state income tax surcharge (a tax on the tax you paid in income tax) that was supposedly to make up for budget shortfalls - and then kept in in place a year longer than was necessary (and promised).
Raised fuel taxes
Encouraged the use of sales tax as an easy means of revenue boosting.
Opposed all efforts to reduce the sales tax on groceries and prescription drugs, even in years with a budget surplus. Heck, our new Democrat (liberal at that) Governor, under public pressure, agreed to a reduction in grocery sales tax...
2. ArKidsFirst - One of the larges social spending programs in Arkansas history was his baby. I don’t have a problem with helping low income folks get medical care, but I know many folks on it that could afford regular coverage - but why when big gubmint will give it free?
3. Big Government - Huckabee, between his socialist healthcare moves, his heavy hand regarding tobacco use, his mandatory “search lunchboxes of school kids” “health” initiative, and massive expansion of most social programs...
4. Poor record of political appointments - just one example - Sheffield Nelson on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission - who has single-handedly tarnished the organization and really pissed off sportsmen in the state with his obstructionist and blatantly anti-”regular Joe” initiatives.
5. Illegal Immigration - Huckabee actually called anyone against illegal immigration (those who wanted to prevent free tuition to illlegals, free social benefits to illegals, etc.) non-Christian.
6. Party Affiliation - Huckabee has chosen in the last couple of elections to not be supportive of Republican candidates, including Lt. Governor, when they were a solid conservative choice, preferring more “moderate” or even liberal candidates.
I’m sure there is plenty more (maybe both pro and con) that others can add...

Pretty much sums it all up, IMO.
Oh, THAT would be inspirational.

Yeah, and who needs to have 2 of those on a ticket, when you can get two-for-one with HILLARY!
