On this issue, Huckabee merely agrees with the President, and although I don’t concur, I cannot blast Huckabee over this position either. We should keep Guantanamo open because any escaped terrorists cannot haunt the American populous easily.
Huckabee doesn’t really care what happens to Guantanamo. He wants votes and nothing more.
After pandering for the liberal vote by saying Guantanamo should be closed, he tried some real slick double talk.
Realizing he needed to sound tougher on terrorists, Huckabee did some rhetorical acrobatics and said “oh I said I think it should be closed because they get treated too well there.” This is the slimiest attempt at backtracking I’ve seen in a long time.
