Huckabee on 2012: Let’s face it, no one’s better positioned to challenge Obama than I am
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 6, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/06/2010 5:21:30 PM PST by RobinMasters

I knew you guys hated him, but not until I saw the results of this weekend’s Hot Air mega-poll did I realize how much. Out of 17 presidential candidates named, he finished … 15th, just eight votes ahead of Rick Santorum and 10 votes ahead of, er, Donald Trump. Palin won the poll with 1181 votes and Chris Christie came second with 745. Huckabee’s total take: 32. Dude?

The word on the primaries lately from everyone from Palin to Rove is that competition is wunderbar, that the more candidates we have battling for the nomination, the better served voters are by having more options, etc. Just wondering: Does that logic apply to Huck too? Think carefully before you answer, because if there’s anyone who’s poised to hurt Palin by peeling off social cons, blue-collar voters, and women (yes, really), it’s him.

Thank you. And here is more about Huckabee’s socialist,pro-illegal record:

Mike Huckabee is to the left of even Sam Brownback and John McCain on immigration. He claimed God wants us to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. As Governor of Arkansas he advocated letting illegal aliens vote.

While Huckabee is now lying and saying he is dedicated to fighting illegal immigration, his record is clear.

Fact #1. As Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee denounced an immigration bill (Arkansas Senate Bill 206) that “would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and would have required state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally.”
(Doug Thompson, “Immigration Bill un-Christian..governor says”Arkansas News Bureau 1/28/05)

Fact #2. As Governor, Mike Huckabee offered a proposal to give state funded scholarships and state benefits to illegal aliens. (Laura Kellams, “Huckabee Plan would give aid to illegal aliens” Arkansas Democrat Gazette 1/12/2005)

Fact #3. Governor Huckabee supported the McCain-Kennedy Senate Amnesty bill for illegal aliens. Huckabee claims to know God’s position on the Amnesty Bill, and that God supports it. Huckabee has repeated called opponents of illegal immigration “racists” and/or “bigots.” Read Article. , Read Article #2

Fact #4. Governor Huckabee refuses to sign the “No Amnesty Pledge”.

Did you tell Romney’s people the same thing? LOL.
I don’t answer calls unless I see that I know the caller, and my husband hangs-up immediately whenever it’s a solicitor.

Wow... that was kind of an over-the-top reaction to someone expressing a legitimate opinion, don’t you think?

Here’s another just for fun. According to an email I got today re wiki...
Gov. Mike Huckabee said ....

“If we want to keep our nation’s secrets ‘SECRET,’ store them where President Obama stores his college transcripts and birth certificate.”

Smart enough to know Christine O’Donnell wasn’t going to win.

Old enough to know Barack Obama is giving Jimmy Carter a run for his money in a “Worst President in History” contest.

Nobody is more for illegal aliens invading the U.S. than Huckabee the socialist from Arkansas.

If illegals are not deported soon then there will Never be another conservative or Republican elected to the Presidency or the Congress EVER.

So this issue of illegals has to be the ONLY Priority or the first priority. Don't you all see that if illegals stay here they will vote for socialism ( democrats). Therefore if illegals are not deported the U.S. will be North Korea soon.

This isn't about race . Do you all like starving and having your country destroyed along with freedom being wiped from the face of Earth. The stakes couldn't be higher. Tell me where I'm wrong. I'm not. I never am.

You might be right....BUT anyone who supports the illegals invasion of our nation..a Country that has sacrificed so many youngn’s to keep us free...well, ANYONE who supports illegals can go hang. The men and women who gave their lives for our country would not want, I’ll bet, to see what our country is contemplating implementing. Huck supports the continuing invasion of illegals. Look it up sonny.

LOL. I found the framed Christmas card photo straight away on the first search. I merely entered "Huckabee Christmas card" and clicked "images" and BOOM - all nice and framed.

I think in that photo, the dog is the farthest away from the son that strangled the stray dog by hanging it.

And his family’s physical appearance has what to do with any of that? Please be specific.

Lucky me. Young at heart, while you’re a bitter old shrew.
Take all the offense you want at the Huckabee’s OFFICIAL Christmas card the last year he was Governor of Arkansas.

You are more worried about someone making fun of a socialist, traitor,marxist,pro-illegals, criminal pardoning vilain’s appearance than Huckabee’s support of the illegals’ invasion of America that will soon turn the U.S. into North Korea.
