Huckabee Caught Lying - Carl Cameron on Fox News Has the Story

I have been wondering if we flood the switchboards at Fox, and fax and email, demanding that Hunter and Tancredo be in the Dec. 4 debates - ya think it could work?

It certainly can't hurt but I would also contact those in charge of the Iowa caucus.

he asked the Arkansas legislature to pass new taxes because he was required to by the Arkansas Supreme Court . . .

Even if this were true, it would be even more damning. Who needs an executive to order the legislative branch to follow orders of the judicial branch? It would be more efficient just to have a judicial dictatorship. Where, in our constitution or Arkansas's constitution is the judicial branch given the right to dictate laws to be made or taxes to be raised to what are supposed to be co-equal branches of government?

A governor with any backbone would ask the legislature to file articles of impeachment against any judge giving such orders for abuse of their authority. We are not a judicial oligarchy!

Bummer, I kind of liked Huckabee, although he wasn’t my first choice.

Two ways of looking at amnesty:

1. Univeral amnesty-- The recent crashed senate amnesty automatically awarded Z-visas to every illegal alien in the country who could prove they had been here for the given length of time. The sensible Coryn amendment which would have excluded gang-bangers and felons was voted down. Basically, we would have been stuck with untold millions . . . a lot more than 12 million, in my opinion.

2. Selective amnesty would require the illegals to come forward on an individual basis, not en masse. It would require that each individual applicant prove such things as financial responsibility such as they were paying taxes, had a clean criminal record, were learning or had mastered our language. In other words, they had the necessities to become good citizens. The key is defining how selective the amnesty is.

The senate first tried to sell the public that they were pushing selective or earned amnesty which, of course, was couched in nice sounding slogans like "path to citizenship" and "it's not amnesty, it involves fines". We the sheeple did not buy it for the obvious reason that it was a blanket amnesty pig with lipstick on it.

A lot of us, including me, would accept carefully selective amnesty if (a)it was genuinely selective of only those likely to make good citizens or at least properly behaving guest workers, and (b)the federal government had credibility on enforcement-- starting with sensible exclusions like the Coryn amendment.

Huckabee is another Jimmy Carter

There is a lot of truth to that statement.

[org.whodat]

but one thing he is not is pro-amnesty.

Your opinion, my opinion pass the barf bag, actions speaks louder than words.

[org.whodat]

The film shows what I said, he is pro amnesty, but the next day he wasn’t, and the week after that he was, and about a week later he wasn’t, and the he was, and then he wasn’t and now he will say whatever he thinks you want to hear. Four barreled jerk, would describe him best!

[org.whodat]

Taking some reading lessons and stop trying to tell people that amnesty by a different name is not amnesty.

[Osage Orange]

Ain’t that the truth........

[Osage Orange]

It's not that I don't like "him"...

I don't like what he has done.

And I think it sad...to read and watch the lengths to which his supporters give him excuses.

Thanks, I guess Romney’s pro amnesty video joins the huge collected video recorded story of who Mitt Romney really is. I have never seen anything like that guy.

Arkansas House Minority Leader wrote a letter to combat talking points spread by the Huckabee campaign (and Huck himself yesterday on Fox News) that Huck’s request for “any” tax increase from the legislature back in 2003 was part of a mandate by the Arkansas Supreme Court.

It’s sad to see the folks over at GodTube.com praising Jesus in the comments of the (numerous) Huckster videos posted there. They just don’t get what an absolute fraud he is

Huckabee is for lots and lots of taxes. Why a number of Republicans would want this nanny state promoter to be POTUS is a mystery.

The situation is particularly tricky for Republicans, many of whom are now invoking the ultimate G.O.P. heresy — tax hikes. While President Bush held a rally last week near Arkansas' state capitol to drum up support for his tax cuts, a few blocks away, at nearly the same hour, Republican Governor Mike Huckabee was imploring his balky legislature to support a tax raise. "I envy his position of being able to come to Little Rock and preach tax cuts while I preach a tax increase," Huckabee told TIME. "He has a tool that I do not have, called deficit spending, and can shift — or at least not fix — the Medicaid issue, which is causing most of my heartburn."

My father is a Baptist preacher. We’ve hoped for 60 years that he WOULD run off with some woman and give my mom some peace in her life. Sadly, it never happened.

[Plutarch]

The tax increase Huckabee was preaching for was for General Revenue .

The only republicans promoting the recent Huckabee surge are from Guiliani's camp. It enhances RG's prospects in the south.

Thanks, Plutarch!!

That I believe.
