I listened to his “Americans always welcome good people” drivel for a few minutes and put him into the loser column inmediatamente.
I’m not sure what he is doing now, but he is an articulate, knowledgeable accomplished politician.
Little Rock - Governor Huckabee says he’s not afraid of risking his political future by speaking out against a recent immigration raid at an Arkadelphia poultry plant even though he says calls to his office have been “about 1,000 to one’’ against his position.
The governor says many of the callers are angry and use profanity. He says immigration is a very emotional issue and people become irrational over it.

“I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...,” Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.
Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson
Gee, like what does he expect?
He is worse than a Rino. Must have been promised something for his allegence to this.
Gov Beebe is following in hucks footsteps. Last week he getting the word out about the state reaching out to hispanics and showing them the ropes of state services. and of course gleeful our local abc affiliate reporterette MUNOZ reported it.
...When people say illegal immigrants take jobs from Americans, Huckabee said he asks them to name someone “who cannot get a job because a Mexican illegally here has taken the job they want.”
“If that’s the case, if you can get me their name and phone number by five this afternoon, I can have them making a bed, plucking a chicken, tarring a roof or picking a tomato by the morning at 8 o’ clock,” he said.
No one has been able to give him a name, he said. Illegal immigrants have jobs Americans don’t want, he said...
I have my doubts about Thompson, too. I need much more convincing on him.
It really boils down to their past actions, comments, voting records and inner circles/contributors--nothing to do with what any of them spin today and for the next four or five months..
If they don't pass the smell test, I say, "Flush Em!"
There is too much at stake.
There is too much to lose.
We cannot afford another 8 years of do-nothing, open borders, compassionate conservatism.
AS A COUNTRY, WE WILL DIE!!
so, what do we do? sit out the next election?
I don’t think Huckabee will even carry Arkansas...at least I hope not.
Liberty2007, I like the name. By the way, welcome.
so, what do we do? sit out the next election?
Vote for Duncan Hunter or Tancredo.
One President from Arkansas was one too many.
No.
Just now I realized.
I forgot to say "WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC!"
I usually try to welcome all the newbies to this forum.
4,000 ID's issued by Mexican consulate; Huckabee lobbied for it
Arkansas Ping
We Are Not Fooled!
Done... I am afraid not. My fear is that some lame brain RINO will pick him as a running mate (Feeling that they need a Southern “conservative” to win)...
If Rudi were to win the nomination, I think this would be a very real possibility
