Some of the criticisms of Huckabee are valid, or at least arguable, but a lot of them aren't - especially the stuff that blames Huckabee for other candidates' failures, and that phony "eight percent" poll.

As for Jim Holt and Randy Minton - I disagree with several of their complaints, but I'm especially disappointed to see them taking tainted money from Ron Paul. Holt used to work for the DIA - now he's on the payroll of a guy who wants to undermine our war on terror. He ought to know better.

I will agree with you about Holt, although I am assuming his rationale is that there is no way that Paul will get the nomination but there’s a danger that Huck will - and Iowans need to know the truth about Huck’s record sinCe he’s painting him as a true conservative on the issues.

I am very saddened that I cannot support Huckabee. He’s a fellow Christian from my homestate and I’ve known his family for a long time. But this election is for president of the United States, not Sunday School teacher. Therefore, I have to vote my values and I cannot overlook an abmissal record on everything from taxes/spending, immigration, private property rights, and reckless pardons/commutations for violent criminals JUST because the man happens to be pro-life and a former Baptist preacher.

What has upset me the most about Huckabee during this election cycle is that he is not truthful about his record and calls any of his opponents’ attacks on his record “negative”. Huckabee needs to be truthful - he’s a Christian who supports big-government programs, illegal immigration, and is recklessly soft on crime.
