I agree. Huckabee’s literature states that he’s a fiscal conservative. It states:
“* Passed Arkansas’ first broad-based tax cut package and cut over 90 additional taxes — reducing taxes by almost $380 million for the people of Arkansas.
* Balanced the Arkansas state budget five times, eliminated the capital gains tax for the sale of a home, and indexed the state income tax to inflation to keep people from being forced into higher tax brackets.”

If by some bizarre turn of events, Huckabee is our nominee, I won’t vote for him.

Phil, it seems most FReepers are kind of lost in the woods, when it comes to electoral campaigns -- and they seem to follow the conventional-conservative money lobbies around at the expense of the rest of the conservative universe.

Thompson has less than a snowball's chance to get past South Carolina. Just about the only thing he can feasibly do is severely wound the Huckabee campaign, setting up a McCain or Giuliani win.

I don't begrudge that of Thompson or of FReepers. But it is insanity, to assist an attempt at assassinating the candidacy of Huckabee, since it will almost certainly come down to Huckabee being the only conservative (or even semi-conservative, depending on one's perspective) left in the race.
