“lesser_satan” at it again, I see.

Now you can work on the case against Ronald Reagan. Your list could grow even longer, if you dig enough.

So who do we vote for? Fred? No chance against any Democrat. Mitt? Best choice of those who have a chance, though flip-flopper. Our choices range from unrealistic to bad platform. Mitt has a decent platform though a record that has been, let’s say “improved upon”.

Add this:

19 December 2007

Cato Institute’s Fiscal Policy Report Card on America’s Governors: 2006.
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6724

Arkansas
Mike Huckabee, Republican Legislature: Democratic
Final-Term Grade: F
Final Overall Grade: D

Thanks to a final term grade of F, Huckabee earns an overall grade of D for his entire governorship. Like many Republicans, his grades dropped the longer he stayed in office. In his first few years, he fought hard for a sweeping $70 million tax cut package that was the first broad-based tax cut in the state in more than 20 years. He even signed a bill to cut the state’s 6 percent capital gains tax—a significant progrowth accomplishment.

But nine days after being reelected in 2002, he proposed a sales tax increase to cover a budget deficit caused partly by large spending increases that he proposed and approved, including an expansion in Medicare eligibility that Huckabee made a centerpiece of his 1997 agenda. He agreed to a 3 percent income tax “surcharge” and a 25-cent cigarette tax increase. In response to a court order to increase spending on education, Huckabee proposed another sales tax increase. Huckabee wants to run for the GOP presidential nomination next year. He’s already been hailed as a viable big-government conservative candidate by some. That seems about right: Huckabee’s leadership has left taxpayers in Arkansas much worse off.

Apparently the good folks in Arkansas had a rough time of it with Mike Huckabee: Big Government Conservative.

Huckabee was in line with these governors:

Montana Brian Schweitzer (D)* 47 F
Alabama Bob Riley (R) 47 F
Washington Christine Gregoire (D)* 47 F
Arkansas Mike Huckabee (R) 46 F
Nevada Kenny Guinn (R) 46 F
Delaware Ruth Ann Minner (D)* 44 F
North Carolina Michael Easley (D)* 44 F
Arizona Janet Napolitano (D) 43 F
Louisiana Kathleen Blanco (D)* 43 F
Ohio Bob Taft (R) 53 C
Kentucky Ernie Fletcher (R) 53 C
Maryland Robert Ehrlich (R) 53 C
Vermont James Douglas (R) 53 C
Michigan Jennifer Granholm (D) 53 C

“Flanked and supported by movie strongman Chuck Norris, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee told a roomful of Washington reporters Thursday that he will defend his effort to educate the children of illegal immigrants “even if it costs me the election.”

Huckabee has been criticized by Mitt Romney and others in the GOP presidential race for supporting legislation in Arkansas that would have made all youngsters who graduate from state high schools eligible to compete for college scholarships, no matter what the legal status of their parents.

With Norris citing examples of children of illegal immigrants he has helped educate through his foundation, Huckabee declared that “my soul will not let me” compromise on that stand—despite the bill’s rejection in his state senate.

It’s a play on “The Great Satan”, like the dirtbags in Dirka-Dirkastan/ various moose-limb hellholes always call the US.

“Now you can work on the case against Ronald Reagan. “

Why? Is he running for office and lying about his record like Huck is ?

I’m very curious in Arksansas’ 2006 CAFR why welfare spending rose continuously right through the Clinton and Bush expansions.

I did a Google search under ‘Arkansas welfare immigrant’ and came up with lots of interesting links to pursue. I’m looking to make the connection between immigrants encouraged to come to Arkansas under Huck’s term, working for crappy wages, and using welfare to supplement that on the back of taxpayers.

Friend, Mr Reagan is decease, but it is just like a huck support to try to make something out of a true American Hero and slander his memory.

Huckabee is not fit shine the mans shoes so leave him out of it.

Just keep drinking playing with the muckrakers and slander spinners.

At least Huckabee hasn't been accused of rape, yet.
