Looking at a politician's past record is an excellent predictor of his future behavior just like looking at a racehorse's past performance is indicative of future performances. Once a horse has developed a chart with several performances going back sometime, he seldom rises above his best past performance. I believe the same can be said about a politician.
I would have to agree but who he supported years ago isn't the record I give a crap about. The record of his stance on his issues speak the loudest.
I’m loving the Huck vs. Fred feud . .

We can also say that politicians become old nags after a time ... McCain in his early years had a conservative voting record, but he turned RINO. Huckabee cut taxes his first year in office, but then turned into a tax-and-spend liberal who raised taxes on multiple occassions with multiple excuses.
I dont know of a single politician who actually improved in office over a long period of time. The longer they serve, the worse they get. So maybe Romney’s 4 years and Thompson’s 8 are a PLUS compared with Huckabee’s 10 and McCain 28 years on the public dole.
