Huckabee was paid-off by Jeb Bush ... to get all those “Evangelical Christian Votes” in the Iowa Cauceses (sp) in 2016 ...

while Jeb Bush targets the Chamber of Commerce “Amnesty Whores” ...

the idea being to dilute conservatives votes for someone like Ted Cruz ...

Mike Huckabee is cast to play the role of “Little Pastor Ricky Santorum” in the GOP 2016 political contests ...

Yup. More conservatives in the field means more split votes among our side and Jeb gets the nomination. I didn’t think about that. I’ve always been dubious about Huckabee’s “conservative” credentials. He seems the type who would accommodate anyone if the price was right.

Tin foil types said in 2000 that Pat Buchanan was a secret Bush/GOP operative, whose mission was to destroy the Reform Party of Ross Perot. Like most, I laughed.

Perot, and the Reform Party, factored in the results of the elections of ‘92 (18% of the vote), ‘96 (8% of the vote), and 2000 (Florida debacle). Although they didn’t win, it can certainly be argued that they influenced the outcome.

After 2000, Perot, and the Reform Party disappeared from the national scene.

I sometimes wonder - was it really a tinfoil conspiracy ?
