The bill is modeled after Proposition 200, approved by Arizona voters in November. The Arkansas measure was filed by Republican Sens. Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith.
He is worried about voting rights of 'undocumented workers'? Huckabee definitely belongs in the top tier; He is one of them. It would appear what a candidate has actually done, the road he/she has walked his/her entire life is unimportant to the GOP electorate.
Who cares what they have done, let's trust them one more time, politicians never lie. It boggles the mind that you folks are so accepting of a 'new convert' to lead our nation. If we (the GOP) continue viewing this process as some 'popularity contest', fine. Just don't act surprised when you reap the results of your reasoning. Wake up America, Wake up GOP!
I certainly understand what you are saying. The fact that he currently doesn’t seem to have the support of the business elite wing of the GOP, however, makes me more inclined to trust him than any of the front runners. Basically - I don’t trust any of the top tier candidates and I want social conservatives to be able to unify around one of the others. My preference by far would be for that candidate to be Duncan Hunter. That does not appear to be happening (HSLDA endorsed Huckabee, Janet Folger pretty much endorsed Huckabee, and it appears that most of the social conservative organizations are going to endorse him). I think Huckabee would be better than Giuliani, Thompson, McCain, or Romney so if he ends up being the choice of most social conservatives I am likely to support him so that we don’t fracture our vote to the point of cancelling each other out. He is not my favorite its just that I want people who care about social conservative issues to have a candidate they can count on and Huckabee is at least very good on life and family issues.
