I'd much prefer Huckabee over RINOs Giuliani or Romney.

So you have no problem with Huckabee being pro-illegal alien.

The only thing Huck is conservative on are guns, gays and abortion, but so is Romney.

Romney is much better on immigration and on controling spending. He actually managed to cut billions from the state budget in liberal Massachusetts.

Huckabee's record as governor on fiscal issues is to the left of Bill Clinton's.

At least, he is geniunely socially conservative and comes off as far more honest.

No politician is completely genunine about anything. I don't know about you, but I care less about what's in a politicians heart than what he will actually do when he's in office. Even if you don't believe Romney's pro-life conversion is genuine (and I do believe it), there is no way he could get away with changing his position again. It would be political suicide for him.

And his record in MA shows very clearly that when it comes to actions that have real policy implications, he has consistently been pro-marriage and pro-life.

I would tend to believe he would be like Bush in that he would follow through on his campaign promises and he has strongly supported tax reform,

Yeah, but a man who can't understand why it's a bad idea to subsidize tuition for illegal aliens can't be trusted to cut spending. And in the long run, tax cuts without spending cuts are unsustainable.

Apparently, you can't read because I didn't say that. I stated that Giuliani, Romney and Huckabee are all equally bad on the issue, But, that Huckabee, at least, is a social conservative and comes off as honest. I trust Huckabee to keep his campaign promises while I don't trust Romney or Giuliani to.

If you're comment on what I write, then don't misrepresent what my beliefs.
