"I don't consider myself a "racist" or a "bigot." But Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee apparently does.
Because I happen to see the merit of a measure, proposed by two Arkansas state lawmakers, that would require anyone registering to vote in the Razorback State to prove citizenship and anyone applying for state services to prove legal residency.
To Huckabee's mind, anyone who supports such a law has succumbed to "race-baiting and demagoguery." That would include yours truly. It also would include a majority of my fellow California residents.
Indeed, it's bad enough that government officials, like Huckabee, knowingly and willingly countenance illegal immigration. It's worse that they also want to reward those who have stolen into the country." http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050218/news_lz1e18perkins.html
Mitt Romney has had the right mind-set on this from Day One, Huckabee has not.
Immigration is what took me to Romney. Huckabee is way too scary. I hate to be so negative, but here goes: American voters are freaking crazy enough to elect huckabee....they elected carter and clinton twice. Huckabee is the worst combination of those two.
