Okay. But only when it suits the audience he's pandering toward. I heard Huckabee on Hannity the other day...talking about the tenth amendment, lower taxes, limited government, reducing spending, being tough regarding what our foreign policy should be...I thought I was hearing things. This is the same guy who railed against CEO pay, called the CFG the Club for Greed, thinks it's a good idea to implement smoking bans in restaurants and bars, would give children of illegals tuition rates at public subsidized higher education institutions that are on par with a legal resident, and has a record of supporting the raising taxes during a period of time where he governed a state. But that's not all, he bad-mouthed our current foreign policy in an interview.
I'm not trusting this guy! If he happens to get the Party's nomination -- I hope that his campaign and support are decimated before then -- I will hold my nose very tightly from around August onward.
“espouses many of the same conservative principles that Thompson does” False premise. Not even close in fact.
Anyone who insults the Club for Growth has their head up their orifice. The M$M would love for Fred to be over with. No such luck for them.
I heard the Huckster mention limited government and local control over things like schools as well. Either he is not understanding that limited and decentralized government are the oposite from the centralized federal social, health and educational programs he touts or he is playing the public as a sucker. I think he knows that these are fiscal conservative stands and he mouths the words but his record shows he does not walk the walk.
