With that, he should just announce that he’s NOT running.

I think Palin & family put themselves in a light that may show them as publicity hounds. On issues, have nothing against Palin....I think Bachmann comes across better...but with re-districting she may lose her seat anyway. I am in NY, so in a presidential election, my GOP vote doesn’t matter anyay. That’s why I vote Liberatarian.

You are certainly right. The original article (as well as the one I quoted which was linked from your original article) did say that Huck supports college tuition support for the
children of illegal aliens.
My concern was with the fact that that did not come through in your excerpt, making many of the Huck-bashing comments that followed based in wrong information.
I am not convinced of the policy either, but I am convinced that unless the story is accurately presented, people tend to rail at straw men.
And believe me, I am aware of the growing and serious problem, I live in Oklahoma.

Legally, children of illegals born here become citizens, due a deliberate misinterpretaion of the Constiutional Amendment XIV, Section 1. The latter was created to assure recently emancipated slaves were treated as full citizens, not to allow an army of bordere sneaks to cross over here, have their kids and secure automatic citizenship.
But children of illegals born OUTSIDE the U.S. and brought into the U.S. have no such rights.
I believe the issue here lies in the latter situation.

I agree with you. But it is not as black and white as many seem to think. The kid, who may have been an honor roll, exemplary student, likely didn't have a vote in the family council when the decision was made to sneak across the border. Their enculturation is often American and they would likely be a fish out of water in their home country. Sure it is the parent's fault. But the kid winds up paying for it.
This is only to grant them in-county tuition, so it's not like they are granting a full-ride to someone just because they are illegal. Perhaps along with showing evidence of five years in the US, they should also be required to naturalize by the end of their first year in school.

Why is it that I never see an article about Huckabee that begins with “TV talk show host”?

JEEZ ZULU YOU SOUND LIKE YOU MIGHT BE GREAT FOR THE JOB YOURSELF...hahaaah and yer right about SARAH the Great ......with this GIANT we'd get healthy conservative 'know the value of a dollar' leadership with rock bottom common sense thrown in as a superlative bonus....
.........so at present she might not know who the Pahsha of Whocaresistan is but hell, but anyone can become an expert on the whole damn middle east in a couple of afternoons with 3 pointy headed professors....BUT nobody but SARAH brings will bring to the presidency the common sense 'i'm bringing up a family and know what AMERICA is really all about honesty 'ness' to the top job ...every time she makes a comment like her recent one regarding the budget fight i.e. 'Shut it down..they're arguing over peanuts and we don't even own the peanuts' she proves it...and another thing...you can be sure SARAH WILL NOT ENGAGE IN POLITICAL 'DEAL MAKING' she's honest and hard as nails as they come ....her history as ALASKA'S most beloved gov. proves it...it's all explained in 'GOING ROGUE' which every one should read...

If there is one thing that makes my blood boil, it is an American who will not protect America. Giving in to illegal aliens is selling out America to a corrupt foreign country that is walking all over us.
To: Buckeye McFrog
I was wondering about the frontloading process, has anyone heard how the 2112 primaries are going to be spaced out?
To: ZULU
Exactly. Huckabee revealed his true agenda.
