Just spend a little time examining what Huckabee has written and said.
FReepers: would you like to take some time reading and listening to Mike Huckabee, instead of drinking the Kool-Aid?

Why should we bother reading what he says now when we’ve already seen what he did in Arkansas? Huckabee claiming to be a conservative is like Hillary saying she is the most innocent Democrat!
I've spent quite a bit of time doing exactly that; plus I've met the man in person. He even spoke in person at my caucus site last week here in Iowa. And I'm not buying him as a conservative. He's a pro-life, pro-family John Edwards.
Ban on smoking, supports the federal drug war (but Fred does too), federal funds for fatherhood initiatives, low-income energy and other things.
