Huckabee opposes abortion and gay rights. Those are the only two issues that he is conservative on. All of the other issues make him a flaming liberal.

Yes. Those happen to be my bottom line issues, more important than anything else. But I STILL wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. A man who can lie about everything, and suck up corrupt money all over the place while governor, and even put up a fake "wedding registry" when he left office so he could get more free unreportable gifts, simply cannot be trusted on anything.

I think he'd sign a fetal stem cell research bill or appoint a flaming liberal to SCOTUS if it suited his political convenience at the time. There have been politicians--including Jesse Jackson and a number of other Democrats--who were strongly pro-life until the situation changed. And then they changed to please their bases. Huckabee's record on life issues is strong, certainly. But I don't trust him even on that, after seeing how he operates.

Jesse and Al were both against abortion and gay marriage before it became politically popular to change positions.

Ted Kennedy was pro life at one point too
