[Mike Huckabee is] a dishonest, liberal RINO.

That is not my impression of him.

Could you elucidate, please?

Let’s see.

He used an expense account to buy personal items for his family and his boat. He claimed to have a theology degree which he didn’t have. He supported Democrats over Republican candidates in Ark. He has a record of releasing dangerous rapists and murderers. He supports illegals and the “Dream” Act, and likes the concept of anchor babies.

He falsely claimed that he did not sign legislation that imposed a 3 percent income tax surcharge while he was governor of Arkansas. He pleaded with lawmakers to raise taxes so that no Arkansan is left without vital services.

From the CATO Institute: “On its annual governor’s report card, Cato gave Huckabee an ‘F’ for fiscal policy during his final term, and an overall two-term grade of ‘D.’ Only four governors had worse scores, and 15 Democratic governors got higher grades, including well-known liberals like Ted Kulongoski of Oregon, Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, and Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania.”
