I respect Baker and yes, he was a good man. However, we hardly considered him “conservative” back in ‘80. But then, maybe we (Reagan supporters) were as wrong about Baker as FredHeads are about Hucksters or vice versa. Do ya suppose?
Sen. Baker helped shepherd Pres. Reagan's agenda. He later served as his Chief of Staff. Mike Huckabee's campaign is now making robocalls in Michigan and South Carolina, asking Democrats to cross over and vote for him in the primary election. I won't even bother pointing out Mike Huckabee's many positions in Arkansas that would make any conservative cringe.
I ask you, who has been more loyal to the conservative principles? Sen. Baker or Mike Huckabee?
