Both tight with Tyson like two Hope Arkansas peas in a pod!

Wonder how much Tyson is paying him to insure cheap feather pluckers!
Mucho dinero, seguro.
Please don’t judge Bible believers by a man who uses our precious Lord and Savior to get his sick point across.

I’ve been a one woman Tyson boycotter for years now! :)
Huckabee’s literature states that he’s a fiscal conservative. It states:
“* Passed Arkansas’s first-broad-based tax cut package and cut over 90 additional taxes — reducing taxes by almost $380 million for the people of Arkansas.
* Balanced the Arkansas state budget five times, eliminated the capitol gains tax for the sale of a home, and indexed the state income tax to inflation to keep people from being forced into higher tax brackets.
* Left office with a surplus of more than $800 million.”
I’ll take the Club for Growth’s scathing reports and Cato Institute’s “D grade” as a more objective view than Huckster’s own self-promoting comments.
This ... “Balanced the Arkansas state budget five times, eliminated the capitol gains tax for the sale of a home, and indexed the state income tax to inflation to keep people from being forced into higher tax brackets.”
... is NOT an accomplishment.
Abolishing the state income tax entirely would have been an accomplishment!
Nor will it mention that he would never consider removing state sales tax from food and meds, but even his liberal democratic successor agreed to and has done so.
Nor will it mention all the convicted murderers and rapists (think Wayne Dumond) that he pardoned while in office.
I call his literature one-sided BS. I know. I lived under his sorry leadership.
I agree that, if the presidential nominee is a senator, a governor would balance the ticket. However, the nominee should be Huckabee. The last republican nominee who had been a senator was Dole, and he received 159 electoral votes and 41% of the popular vote. Two of the last three republican presidents were governors, and Huckabee was a governor longer than Bush & Romney, combined.
Huckabee states, on his site, www.mikehuckabee.com, that he’s pro-fairtax, anti-illegal alien, pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage.
Yes, that's what he states and THAT is the problem. It's not true. Read the thread. Hucky speaks with forked tongue.
I read the thread. Huckabee knows his views better than anyone else knows them.
Baby Killer/Nanny Stater '08! Get excited!!! Send in those donations, write letters, blog, make the phone calls. Yippeee. Somebody f'ing shoot me please.
This is what we are heading for....
Not even if a life-long native Arkansan who's experienced and suffered the Huckster's non-conservative governorship 1st hand and who's hobnobbed with him in social events and whose wife knew him from college days, told you otherwise, nor if I provide a list of Mike's past political actions for one to read and consider? You're just going to decide about him based soley on what this politician says?
No, I didn’t decide to support him solely on what he says. I have a conservative friend who lives near Fort Smith. I haven’t heard any complaints about Huckabee from that friend of mine.

At the GOP debate the other night, Mike Huckabee made an odd claim.
“When our founding fathers put their signatures on the Declaration of Independence, those 56 brave people, most of whom, by the way, were clergymen, they said that we have certain inalienable rights given to us by our creator.”
“Most” of the signers were clergy? Is that true? Actually, no.
Only one of the 56 was an active clergyman, and that was John Witherspoon. Witherspoon was a Presbyterian minister and president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).
A few more of the signers were former clergymen, though it’s a little unclear just how many…. We’d like to give Huckabee every benefit of the doubt, but even if you consider former clergymen among the signers the best you could come up with is four. Out of 56. That’s not “most,” that’s Pants-on-Fire wrong.
It’s a common problem at the Republican debates — why let facts get in the way of a perfectly good soundbite?
AuntB explained it very well.
Come on, Phil, I know you have grammy award winning records, but what are you going to do when faced with the truth.
Answer her.
Honestly, who cares if he flubbed one statistic? Ann Coulter is extremely sloppy with her research and gets her "facts" wrong on numerous occasions -- claimed Canada supported us in Vietnam (the exact opposite happened) and claimed that no RAT President ever appointed a stealth conservative (wrong, JFK appointee Byron White was considered a liberal and then became center-right AFTER he joined he court). She still has plenty of worshipers on FR despite her credibility being shot.
