Former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee, said he supports a mandatory cap-and-trade system to cut US greenhouse gas emissions, becoming the second Republican presidential candidate to call for a carbon market to address climate change.
That’s it for him. Thompson / Hunter all the way.
I stand corrected. Don’t know how to create the Spanish squiggly on my P.C. though.
yeah. I too was interested in Huck as I didn’t know much about him. He seems to be a nice person and pro-life, but other than that, I think he is totally unacceptable.

Thank you
There it is, ZULU.
I’ve been fearful of Huckabee for a while now. His support from the unions, illegal immigrant front groups and overall condemnation by fiscal (and many social) conservatives, plus the fact that after Huckabee left office the GOP was left in shambles in Arkansas...it’s wayyyy too much. For Rudy or Romney it’s one thing, only Huckabee can turn Arkansas blue.
Now I have to get past Mcain/Fingold election reform and Romney's change of heart. There is a lot of good on the Republican side of the candidates but there is so much in the closets of these candidates.
Well dang! He was my first choice but if he’s jumped on that bandwagon sayonara! That leaves me with zilch, zero, nada choices. I pray there’s a dark horse out there somewhere ready to jump into the fray otherwise we’re going to be stuck with her heinous.

Don’t be taken in by the Huckster!
I was duped. I saw some good things and did not know about his immigration stance and now this crap. I also thought it was going to be Fred but I am just not inspired by him. He seems shaky in the debates and I am just not sure. He needs to get a footing and fast.
I am looking for a leader. I see none in our field of choises thus far... pretty much sucks but no doubt I will vote for whoever makes it as Hillary is NOT an option... This blows...
Uh oh. Big stumble for Mike, here.
I wouldn'ty take "Pat Buchannan in a dress" Noonan too seriously. Just another bitter old has been whining because her glory days are gone and lost foever.
However, it looks like she finally got one right. Huckabee is Democrat lite.
This might be one issue where he’s actually worse than Hillary.
See that skinny, sour looking guy? He used to be chubby and have a sense of humor. He was diagnosed with diabetes, and felt the fear of death, I guess. Anyway, now he’s a strident, annoying stick. All that’s left of a formerly plesant man.
``It goes to the moral issue,'' the former Arkansas governor said at a climate-change conference today in Manchester, New Hampshire. ``We have a responsibility to reduce greenhouse-gas emissionsHow is this different from Al Gore?
Ping...thought this might interest you.
Maybe Fred is, but he needs to turn up the volume.Not maybe. Fred IS a conservative.
But you're right about the volume.
Hey, Fred, We can't hear you!
