[Mr. Silverback]

Don't know about you, MS, but I can see how people who view their "conservatism" in terms firstly of self-centeredness and of their money would be concerned about a truer moral candidate who seeks to preserve America's true principles and priorities.

Well, I can see that too, but as usual there are some minor problems with your post.

First, I'm not one of the people you're talking about. I am a real conservative and I'm not a conservative for selfish reasons.

Second, Mike Huckabee is not a conservative.

Third, he is not a moral candidate.

Fourth, he does not seek to preserve America's true principles and priorities. Nationwide smoking bans and tax plans that result in everyone getting a monthly check from the gubmint sugar daddy are not part of American principles and they sure aren't a priority.

Other than that, your post was 100% true.

Show some evidence that hasn’t already been refuted and I may pay attention (enough to correct you, probably).

Huckabee has never been for a nationwide smoking ban. I know what he said. You apparently do not. (Besides, cigarette smoking is hardly something to conserve as a great principle.)

Replacing the anti First Amendment tyranny of the IRS with a national sales tax, while compensating for the regressive nature of an unadjusted sales tax is something you’re up in arms about? Wow.

No, there must be more to it than that. What is at the bottom of your antipathy for Mike Huckabee?
