Most Americans recall all too well the turmoil and discord of the Clinton Presidency of 1992-2000. While in office, President Clinton fine tuned the art of issuing misleading, inaccurate and flat out false statements into a precise science.
The unvarnished truth is that President Clinton lied through his teeth, regularly and unashamedly.
Perjury and obstruction of justice eventually caught up with President Clinton, as he was ultimately stripped of his license to practice law and forbidden from arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court, at least temporarily.
Fifteen years after the Democrat ex-governor from Arkansas lied his way into the White House, the Republican party has its own silver tongued, double talking “bubba.”
That would be Mike Huckabee, another ex-governor from Arkansas who finds the truth devilishly elusive, or downright disgusting to be more precise.
Mike Huckabee has been caught in a real whopper, even by the standards for deceit set by Bill Clinton.
Apparently, Huckabee lied about having a degree in theology.

The mind boggles: An ordained Baptist pastor and first-tier presidential candidate lied about having a degree in theology! What in the hell is this nation coming to?
Even more distressing is Huckabee’s record while serving as the CEO of Arkansas. This governor raised taxes and encouraged illegal immigration, for heaven’s sake!
And now he is running as the candidate best suited to meet conservative expectations in 2008?
God, please, spare America and her people from another lying ex-governor from Arkansas in the Oval Office!
Make that “God, please, spare America and her people from another lying ex-governor from Arkansas, or female spouse thereof, in the Oval Office!”
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t agree more!
FRED THOMPSON - PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (true consistent Conservative Federalist and Pro-Life) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamicfacists, including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arming the People and disarming criminals) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, it’s called attrition, and deport those who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt the next generation) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!
Utter rubbish.
Anything is better than a Dim , but let’s pick the only fully true Conservative who can win , Fred Thompson !
The Values Voters crowd has got to feel like real knuckleheads now.....
What’s the problem ?
Yes, but are they too proud to admit they made a mistake?
Watched Mike Huckabee on LarryLive tonight. There is no substance to this guy. The Huckster gives Slick Willie a run for his money.
Crybaby Romney is even worse .
No thank you ... I have enough snake oil ...
He’s better than any Democrat.
What if he becomes the nominee? Can we all say “never mind” to our slander and get behind him? Or will we stand arrogantly with our former judgment of him and allow Hillary to gain the White House.
We’re burning bridges we may need in a few months.
Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. It’s the FR way....
When you tell the truth about someone, it ain’t slander, FRiend!
The article says, “Apparently, Huckabee lied about having a degree in theology.”
What a stupid thing to denounce Huckabee on. He has a degree in Religion. That’s essentially — ESSENTIALLY — the same as Theology. It’s not a “whopper” of a lie. It’s people trying to demonize the man.
This is all just silly. He’s crappy on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Let’s not grasp for things to demonize him on. His degree is in the study of God. Religion. Theology. Divinity. Whatever.
FR: Hate Republicans. All the time. We’re pathetic.
FWIW, I strongly prefer Fred and Hunter. And plan to vote for one of them in the primaries. But I won’t demonize Huckabee for saying he’s got a degree in the study of God, as opposed to the study of fish or words or molecules or math. Sheesh.

Just cause I think Huck sucks and is a big RINO doesn't mean I hate him.
I just think he sucks.
You can tell the truth in a way that’s not vitriolic. The anger toward Huckabee, a candidate with a terrible record on, for example ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, is pathetic. DUers get angry at Republicans. FReepers shouldn’t express vitriol toward a Republican candidate who may very well become our nominee. Then what?
I say: Promote Hunter. Promote Thomas. Highlight the legitimate weaknesses of Huckabee et al. But don’t destroy them. Doing so alienates a lot of Republican voters. And Huckabee may become our candidate. Then what?
