Huckabee's current positions and website seem to conflict with his political history for the last decade.

From March, 2006, Washington Post:

"I tend to think that the rational approach is to find a way to give people a pathway to citizenship. You shouldn't ignore the law or ignore those who break it. But by the same token, I think it's a little disingenuous when I hear people say they should experience the full weight of the law in every respect with no pathway, because that's not something we practice in any other area of criminal justice in this country."

but, but dot dot dot, it's not really "amnesty". The illegal immigrants will pay a $50 fine, get two points on their state issued drivers licenses and 2 hours of community service. They are paying a price for citizenship. It's NOT "amnesty".

Sure thing, Huck. The President also denies his "path to citizenship" for tens of millions of illegals consitutes amnesty. ...so it's one of those "it all depends on what the meaning of the word 'amnesty' is" situations.

I don't believe any of them on this issue. ...except for Hunter and Tancredo, of course.

Good catch. Did you see this?:

Translated it means "Stop digging your grave with illegal immigrants and drivers licenses".

Huckabee’s staff must have read Hunter’s site.

Most of them all starting to sound like Hunter on this issue. About 20 years late, they are.

“Wonder if Huckabee sleeps with Tyson?”

Yep.

http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/003413.html

Huckabee:
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you... [...mindless blather about America welcoming immigrants deleted...]

...I am confident that our government will recognize that we should accommodate people who wish to provide the best opportunities for their families (and) employers so that we can make sure our economy has the necessary work force...”

Regarding the latter:

Before Huckabee spoke, John Tyson thanked the Hispanic community for standing by the Springdale-based food giant during the federal government’s investigation of the company a few years ago. The U.S. Justice Department investigation alleged that Tyson helped to smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S. and employed them at various chicken-processing plants across the Southeast.

After a seven-week trial, Tyson and several managers of poultry processing plants were acquitted in March 2003 of those charges.

“At the time, it was a very difficult and very tough time for our company,” Tyson said. “Thank you LULAC for standing by us.”

Hucklebee is on my “would not vote for anyone that selects him as a running mate” list.

Arizona Republic "Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday heaped criticism upon immigration legislation in the Arkansas Legislature, describing it as "inflammatory . . . race-baiting and demagoguery." He also challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.

Huckabee said the bill, seeking to forbid public assistance and voting rights to undocumented immigrants, "inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there's a real problem. But there's not."

The bill is modeled after Proposition 200, approved by Arizona voters in November. The Arkansas measure was filed by Republican Sens. Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith.

Huckabee, also a Republican and a Baptist minister, said Arkansans should be welcoming hard-working immigrants of all races.

He singled out Holt, who often talks of his strong Christian beliefs, saying, "I drink a different kind of Jesus juice. My faith says don't make false accusations against somebody.

"In the Bible, it's called don't bear false witness."

In response, Holt said he was hurt by the governor's questioning his faith.

"I just want to uphold the law and protect the benefits that apply to citizens," Holt said."

(BTW, Jim Holt is also a FReeper..)

So now we have another flip-flopper.

And if you thought Rudy and Romney were bad enough...

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!

(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him...

(skim milk with three sweet and lows)

Scanning the information superhighway you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, Salon and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR

(oooh, here's one from DU!)

Armed with nothing but talking points from your candidates' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat...

(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)

When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website

(copy, paste, copy, paste)

Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!

(Highly overrated)

All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.

(Praise the Lord!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...

Well, Rudy needs to reward Huck for running interference for him against Fred nationally and Mitt in Iowa. Plus, the RNC is just dumb enough to think that an evangelical like Huck could take some of the stink off of Rudy among socons. Thus...

Rudy/Huck. Baby killer/nanny stater '08!!!!!! Get excited, this is going to be a....

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.” -Mike Huckabee March 27, 2007; RealClearPolitics.com

"I do believe some of is driven by racism or nativism", he said of the opposition within his party to Mr. Bush's view that Illegal aliens should not be deported but rather fined and eventually be allowed US citizenship. "It's not amnesty to make people pay for breaking the law" - Mike Huckabee, May 2006, Washington Times.

Flip flopping nothing. He is just like McLame and Kennedy and GW, trying to pull the old horsesh*t that paying some fine to stay is not amnesty. I reject that 1000% as do the American people. This guy is a fraud.

Flip meet flop. The Huckster has a long history of being soft on illegals so his Tyson buddies in Arkansas can have plenty of cheap labor. He’s just a snake oil salesman looking for suckers.
