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.

The cap-and-trade proposal is bad news. It is a proposal for socialism via environmental scaremongering.

The idea that global warming is an imminent threat is not supported by the data. There are, indeed, some valid concerns, but the sky is not falling.

If social conservatives think they can disrespect economic conservatives, this is really the end of the Republican coalition. Economic conservatives will turn off to Republicans who are squish on taxes and regulations.

Any Republican candidate has to hold the coalition together, as well as appeal to some moderate, swing and independent voters, to have a chance of winning.

During Bush’s administration, we have seen the majority that Newt and other stratgic thinkers put together, has been pissed away. We now face $1 trillion in new taxes, the environmental agenda, and the multicultural / homosexual / feminazi / race agenda.

Every part of the Republican coalition is going to be hurt very, very badly.

Fred looks like a tired, old man to me. No fire in the belly. I’d like to see Hunter get it, but don’t see it happening. That said, I’m going to vote for whoever opposes Hitlery.

This is why we have the primaries, debates, etc.
The candidates need to get their positions out there.
I’m really disappointed with Huckabee...

I can't fathom anyone being as incredibly stupid as Huckabee was in making this announcement IN A PRIMARY yet, for cryin' out loud.

Did he lose track of which party's he's in?

This jamoca is going to end up whitewashing garden walls for apples in Hope.....oh, wait, that's the other Huck.

Huckabee also endorses giving the District of Columbia two senators and a full fledged congressional representative who will all vote permanently for the democrats.

Can you verify this?

I found this. It doesn't look like he's advocating statehood which would give DC two Democrat senators but he's advocating giving them a congressperson as well as adding a congressperson to Utah.

It does seem like a slippery slope. Once DC gets their congressperson, they'll want two senators.

It also says they are able to vote for president now.
