Duncan Hunter Endorses Mike Huckabee
National Review Online ^ | 1-23-08 | Byron York

Posted on 01/23/2008 12:29:02 PM PST by TitansAFC

This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:

"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base."

"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.

Theocratizing the Constitution

BS, politely, if you will. Please read about "natural law." You will find it referred to our nation's founding document, plus the theory our nation was founded upon. It has to do with things like the Creator endowed Right to Life and with the building block of human polity present before king or chieftain: marriage.

You can refer to whatever you want. That is what Huckabee was referring to.

I didn’t read about Huckabee here. His actual quotes turned me off.

I understand it...only to a point. I do not understand it in the larger scheme of things and for the future of Reaganism.

Good. Then Huckabee is the only choice.

Hunter and Huckabee know we need freed trade. Trade freed from the artifices of foreign, globalist, and corporatist manipulation.

I saw just recently where apparently Huckabee has promised to build the border fence. Looks like he directly promised that to Duncan’s face. So ironic, given where Huckabee was on all of this until recently.

Both men are Baptists. That counts for quite a bit, I’m coming to believe.

It would be interesting to know what Huckabee said to Duncan to win him over on national security. It could be that he asked Duncan to advise him on national security matters and made a great show of listening to Duncan.

The pro-life issue. Enough said.

I never saw this coming because I don’t trust Huckabee or one word that comes out of his glib mouth.

It doesn’t make me think badly of Duncan Hunter so much as I’m thinking, Duncan, you got played by a master people-player.

Sad.

Well, it doesn’t have to be re-addressed in The Constitution! We have major fish to fry and Huckabee can’t fry them IMO.

You are just a paid Huckabee shill. Huckabee's real record shows Huckabee is an open borders, come one come all, pro-Amnesty , Marxist.

Mike Huckabee supports AMNESTY for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypdd0AKJ_Qs&feature=related

Huckabee’s long terrible record on illegal immigration shows that Huckabee would sign an Amnesty for the 30 million illegals here now and then allow those 30 million to bring into the U.S. 100 million of their relatives.

Bringing in this many 3rd world illegals would not only destroy the United States economically but culturally and in every way possible.

This is the plan of these Marxists like Huckabee, McCain , Hillary and the Democrats. They know that these millions of illegals will vote for Democrats and for socialism. So they import voters from the 3rd world. This is cultural Marxism as well as economic Marxism .

And we will all be starving just like in every socialist state like the USSR, Eastern Europe, N Korea, Cuba.

The Soviet Union collapsed because of socialism and the U.S. will too if we keep going that way.

Mike Huckabee disses Americans, Mexicans, promotes illegal immigration

Christians Need To Beware Of Mike Huckabee

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2007/cbarchive_20071102.html

While Gov. of Arkansas, Huckabee was AGAINST proving citizenship in order to register to vote. He called those who were in favor of this “racists”..

http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050218/news_lz1e18perkins.html

Huckabee fought hard to kill an Arkansas bill which would have cut off social services for illegal aliens. Huckabee called the bill, “anti-Christian” and “un-American”...

http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/01/28/News/316347.html

Huckabee supported in-state tuition for illegal aliens...

http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/03/11/News/318458.html

Huckabee’s opposition to the illegal aliens bill:

Numbers USA gives Mitt a good rating on past record on illegal immigration and Huckabee a bad rating.

http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez2008.html

Mike Huckabee. The Socialist From Arakansas.

As governor, Mr. Huckabee opposed a bill to require proof of citizenship to register to vote. The bill would have also required state agencies to turn in illegals.

Mr. Huckabee fought that, as well as a bill to deny illegal aliens taxpayer-funded public benefits. Then-Gov. Huckabee backed issuing drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens.

Mr. Huckabee supported a partial amnesty as governor, in the form of in-state tuition for illegal aliens. He even tried to advantage illegals with scholarships.

He continues to support rewarding illegal aliens who claim to have entered the country as children with in-state tuition -- effectively taxpayer-subsidized education. When Mr. Romney pressed him on this at the CNN debate in November, Mr. Huckabee said, “we are a better country than to punish children for what their parents did,” as if that were the end of the argument.

This flavor of amnesty, which was beatenin the U.S. Senate this fall when the DREAM Act came up, gives foreign lawbreakers an economic benefit unavailable to legal but out-of-state Americans.

It also puts illegal aliens in the pool of college applicants. That means for every illegal alien who lands an admissions slot, an American kid is kept out of college. Mr. Huckabee somehow rationalizes this perversity as “compassionate.”

Mr. Huckabee went to Mexico in 2003 to urge the Mexican government to open a consulate in Arkansas. Heleased the consulate state office space for $1 per year (obligating Arkansans to subsidize the rest of the costs of nearly $600 a month). And he put together a sweetheart deal for Mexico to enjoy a permanent facility in Little Rock without having to pay rent for three years.

It’s hard to accept as genuine a recidivist pandering politician’s turn on a dime from multiculturalist, liberal, open-borders, demonizing zealot to true-blue advocate of a no-amnesty, enforcement-only attrition strategy. But that’s what Mr. Huckabee is trying to pull. He hopes voters will ignore his long, awful record on immigration issues.

Every year he introduces it and it dies. One of his main reasons for not voting for the Iraq use of force resolution was because of all the references to the UN resolutions. He instead issued a Declaration of War against Iraq so we could do it right, which was shut down quick.

I agree with that position, 100%.

There are other issues about which, however, that I've already mentioned to you make me uncomfortable with Huckabee....I have not found anything to read that has discounted my concerns on those things.

I don’t know about all of that... but I do KNOW that huckster was a horrible father figure when he covered up for his son... and his son is a troubled youth to this day. He also was recently busted carrying a glock and a loaded mag onto a plane. He shown poor judgment, crony ism and a lack of leadership when he covered up for his son and then fired the man that would decide if the case against his son would move forward. huck also tried the lame excuse for what his son had done... of the dog having mange ... and then trying to spin it as a humane put down of a suffering animal... a suffering animal that was hung by it’s neck, had it’s throat slit with a knife and then was pummeled by rocks until dead.
