Governor Huckabee will never allow amnesty

http://mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Issues.View&Issue_id=4 ^ | Mike Huckabee for President

[Kurt Evans]

The Governor opposes and will never allow amnesty. He passionately rejected the amnesty bill that President Bush and Sen. McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer after secret meetings of an under-the-radar cabal of amnesty-loving senators.

The Governor opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which was a nightmare because it would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all. Because once we open that door even a crack, we’ll never get it closed again.

[hinckley buzzard]

I compare the statements on the campaign website, with the statements uttered during the last two or three years while in office. Two different guys. I believe the one that came first, when he was't running for something. That one is a sanctimonious, smug, pro-illegal demogogue. But you read this manufactured spin-drivel on a campaign website, and you believe it. Well, go ahead-- it's a free country(sort of).

[hinckley buzzard]

You don't say the back of the line starts and for the next 12 years you're going to be filling out paperwork. What you do say is you're going to pay the fine, we're going to have a system that can be done in an orderly fashion, and you'll be able to be legal but we're not going to let you off scot free. That's important."

What gibberish. Huckabee obviously thinks the rest of America is as stupid a bunch of bumpkins as the peckerwoods who elected him to office.

A campaign website and an editorial from some podunk newspaper. Great, I'm convinced-- he didn't really mean all those a-hole things he said while he was in office.

BTW, if you want to know what Hillary really wants for America, go to her campaign website and find out. I'm sure you will believe every word you read there. ditto Giuliani, Mitt, Fred, Obama, Johnboy, ad nauseam.

[hinckley buzzard]

But if your government at the federal government is so incompetent that it fails to secure the border, you don't then grind your heel into the face of a 6-year-old child over it. That's not what this country does.

Straight out of Hillary Clinton's last debate. She never said it better herself.

Now, if that causes people to say, 'Well, I'm not going to vote for him,' fine. There are plenty of candidates out there who I guess would grind their heel in the face of a 6-year-old child. Not me.

This is a vicious, obscene, and hateful man. He not only is not fit to hold office, he should be run out of politics altogether. This verbal diarrhea of his is even beneath MoveOn.org's standards. He makes Bill Clinton look ethical by comparison.

Sir/madame if you can’t figure out on your own why a Presidential candidate had a miraculous “conversion” or change of heart at the same time they began to campaign for the GOP nomination, than nobody here can help you understand it.

Tell it to all the people who think Ronald Reagan was a pretty good president.

[Eric Blair 2084]

I'll assume that you are not in fact comparing Reagan to Huckabee, but rather saying that Reagan went from Dem to Conservative and pro baby killing to pro life. The difference is, he didn't do it a few weeks before or after announcing his candidacy for President in 1976.

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path".

--Ronald Reagan

Inside Ronald Reagan: A Reason Interview from July 1975

"I haven't thought it through all together in terms of the legality of it. From a health standpoint, heck yeah, it makes sense."

"There are a lot of things pregnant women shouldn't do. That's just one of them. The point is, if you're going to make that against the law you're probably going to have to extend it to all the other things that are equally unhealthy for the child."

Why I Cannot Support Mike Huckabee

I was skeptical and tried to keep an open mind about Mike Huckabee even after The Arkansas Leader praised him for raising taxes and said:

"He (Huckabee) shepherded greater tax hikes into law than any governor in Arkansas history — all for worthy causes, we think — and expanded government services for the poor. If it is a proud record, it is not one that is commonly associated with Republicans, at least not since the Rockefeller wing of the party went to its grave. From time to time Huckabee has betrayed some of the progressive compassion that marked the old liberal camp of the Republican Party...."

But when I read that Mike Huckabee believes that the hard-working families of Arkansas MUST flop open their wallets and hand their money over to the illegal hordes - - and that the illegal hordes should be allowed to VOTE! - - my decision was made; I decided then and there that Mike Huckabee was dead to me.

Mike Huckabee would have been dead to me just after this :

"He (Huckabee) shepherded greater tax hikes into law than any governor in Arkansas history — all for worthy causes, we think — and expanded government services for the poor. If it is a proud record, it is not one that is commonly associated with Republicans,"

But that liberal stand of Huckabee's and the Hucksters pro-illegal stance makes him as bad as McCain to me, and that's bad.

Mike Huckabee ,like McCain and Hillary Clinton, is an evil, scheming, pro big government, tax and spend, pro-illegal, con artist in other words a liberal.

I hate Mike Huckabee.

[George W. Bush]

I don’t believe him. He has said too much pro-amnesty stuff already. He also insulted those who want enforcement. He is a scofflaw and thinks that laws don’t matter if he doesn’t like them.

[Eric Blair 2084]

But what about the chilruns????

When all else fails just drag the chilruns into the argument for political expediency. Healthcare, immigration.

[SoConPubbie]

"I know didly about Huckabee except where he stands on moral issues, and I’m not currently his supporter - but I’m not a ditractor either."

Then you must have a problem with reading, because you have been posting that same line for sometime now and there has been a ton of factual history about Huckabee's history on Immigration, Taxes, and nanny-statism posted during that time.

I doubt your sincerity in that statement and anybody who follows 2ndDivisionVet posting history knows he is all about the best conservative winning and that he views Fred as that man.

But nice try on spinning things to a negative conclusion.

BTW, I am also a "RABID" supporter of Thompson and also of Hunter because of their positions on the issues.

As has been shown over and over and over again by the Huckster's own history, he is nothing better than a Christian Socialist.

We (conservatives that is) also can see the almost universal positive coverage he is getting in the MSM and realize that they would prefer a lightweight such as the Huckster over somebody like Thompson or Hunter.

[HAL9000]

I hate Mike Huckabee.

Your hatred is amusing, yet at the same time, refreshing. Let us applaud your honesty, for you alone have the courage to announce your deep hate toward Mike Huckabee. The other Huckabee haters are too too timid and afraid to express their emotions as openly as you do.

Yes, fill yourself with hate. Feel the bile coursing through your veins. Let your rage become an all-consuming inferno, because The Huckster knows what's best for you.

[vaudine]

"hidden by...media" And ever wonder why? The media is touting Huckabee's gains to build him up and get some momentum for him. They know darn well he could never win the presidency. They could easily point out his flips and flops. They do it enough for Rudy, Fred and Mitt. Just their usual tricks.

Huck's speeches in the Ark. legislature totally make him Huck the huckster.

And ever wonder why?

No, the reason is obvious.....

[Egg]

From the report it seemed as though Holt is a very good man. I’m glad to know he’s a Freeper. This must have been a very difficult situation for him. For Huckabee to go after him in that fashion is just sickening to me. Even if we as Christians disagree, you don’t attack one another like that. That he would do something like this makes me question Huckabee’s judgment.

[Phsstpok]

What is that phrase?

Oh yeah!

Me thinks he dost protest too much

He’s going to get hammered on this issue in Iowa and he thinks he can play fast and loose with his record. The MSM loves him, after all, so they won’t report the truth.

Yeah, right, Huck. You live in such a 20th century world.

Bozo.

“Then you must have a problem with reading, because you have been posting that same line for sometime now and there has been a ton of factual history about Huckabee’s history on Immigration, Taxes, and nanny-statism posted during that time.”

I do not read the deep details of what you (et. al.) post because I DO NOT TRUST THE SOURCE, you folks are too biased and only see what supports your candidate; it is all selectively spun in the same way you accuse the MSM. I equally don’t read the negative stuff on Thompson either, for the SAME reason, because his detracters spin stuff falsely and in a misleading way.

“I doubt your sincerity in that statement and anybody who follows 2ndDivisionVet posting history knows he is all about the best conservative winning and that he views Fred as that man.”

I have no doubts about his sincerity or motives, what I question in him and others is the ability to be truly objective. Of course, I suffer from the same problems except that I am indeed truthful when I say I do not currently have a candidate that I endorse and thus have not “candidate specific” agenda to push. I have narrowed the field of GOPers down to Thompson, Hunter, or Huckabee.

“But nice try on spinning things to a negative conclusion.”

You say what you want, it just isn’t so.

“BTW, I am also a “RABID” supporter of Thompson and also of Hunter because of their positions on the issues.”

Indeed you are, and as such NOT a reliable source of information on anyone but Thompson.

“As has been shown over and over and over again by the Huckster’s own history, he is nothing better than a Christian Socialist.”

Extreme language and hyperbole, to the intelligent, renders the source as unreliable. I’m not interested in the rantings of a partisan, regardless of who he/she is supporting.

“We (conservatives that is) also can see the almost universal positive coverage he is getting in the MSM and realize that they would prefer a lightweight such as the Huckster over somebody like Thompson or Hunter.”

You don’t own the label “conservative.” You need to be more specific in what you mean by it. I am a moral conservative that is strongly pro-second ammendment and strong on national defense. Regarding the MSM...I really don’t watch it at all. I do read some articles over the internet, but don’t take much of it seriously anymore than you do. Although I don’t see “conspiracies” out there - but I’m not looking for them either. I will NOT disagree with your preference of Thompson or Hunter, because it is a preference. As to whether Huckabee is a lightweight...at this time it doesn’t concern me because I’m not committed to voting for him or anyone else.

One last thing. I would really appreciate it if you would stop calling or insinuating that I am a liar. I AM NOT a supporter of Huckabee. However, I will chide anyone that gets to wild in attacks on him or Thompson or Hunter or anyone for that matter. The rhetoric here is TOO POLAR. It is destroying the GOP.

[Eric Blair 2084]

You don’t own the label “conservative.”

Whenever I hear that, the red flag goes up. DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Somebody trying to re-define "conservatism" to fit their candidate. We saw that with the Rudybots.

[Waryone]

Thank you, Egg. I remember that Mr. Huckabee was very pro-amnesty in the past, no matter how he has decided to reinvent himself. There is a vacuum here. Conservative Christians desperately want someone to believe in. Mr. Huckabee senses that and I fear he has decided to try to capitalize on this by hiding his liberal ideas while accentuating his ministerial history.

If he continues to go after people the way he went after Mr. Holt, it should be clear to everyone that not every thing that appears to be an angel of light really is one. I just hope that few are fooled by him and that those who are don’t end up disillusioned.

This has to be the strangest election period I’ve lived through. There are so many liberals pretending to be conservative. May the Lord deal with those who are trying to deceive and keep those who love Him from their deception.

[Sola Veritas]

“Whenever I hear that, the red flag goes up. DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Somebody trying to re-define “conservatism” to fit their candidate. We saw that with the Rudybots.”

Well then I would say you have a hyper-surreal imagination. I don’t have a candidate I support at this time. So, you can tell the robot in your mind to shut up, there is no danger here. Here is my only agenda:

(1) End Abortion in all 50 states
(2) Suppress the Homosexual Agenda in all 50 states
(3) Maintain a very strong national defense
(4) Protect the 2nd Ammendment from anti-gunner’s
(5) Protect evangelical Christianity from those that would try to prevent its spread - I’m not talking about forced religion though
