Well he probably is just a hair to the left of him, but they both have proved themselves as lefties.

Exactly, and that is the last thing we need.

Remember folks, the federal government is gonna spend 3 TRILLION dollars of your money next year. Want to give more, vote for Huck or let Hillary win by staying home? Not me.

"Basically, Huck is another GWB."

No, he's worse. GWB didnt hike taxes as Governor like the Huckster did. This is a stunning indictment of a man without a fiscal conservative bone in his body:

"He has zero intellectual underpinnings in the conservative movement," says Blant Hurt, a former part owner of, and columnist for, Arkansas Business magazine. "He's hostile to free trade, hiked sales and grocery taxes, backed sales taxes on Internet purchases, and presided over state spending going up more than twice the inflation rate." Mr. Huckabee told me yesterday he also cut some taxes, and has taken the Americans for Tax Reform no-tax pledge. Former GOP state Rep. Randy Minton is not impressed. In 1999, he was urged by the governor to back a gas-tax increase. "I'd taken a pledge against higher taxes, but he sniffed that my constituents didn't understand what we have to do in state government to make it work," Mr. Minton says. "His support for taxes split the Republican Party, and damaged our name brand." The Club for Growth notes that only a handful of the 33 current GOP state legislators back their former governor. Governors who served with him praise Mr. Huckabee for his ability to work with others, but say he was clearly a moderate. "He fought my efforts to reform the National Governors Association and always took fiscal positions to my left," former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens, a supporter of Mitt Romney, told me.
