Good survey, but in Likeability for Rubio, don’t forget, Rubio is still ‘on punishment’ for the forseeable future for espousing amnesty. When 2015 gets here, we may feel differently.

Huckabee should just stay on TV and keep pulling his Bass, or whatever else is handy at the moment!

The GOPe will (again) spread tons of cash to vanity candidates to split the conservative vote eight or ten ways, so that their horribly flawed liberal RINO candidate can waltz to the nomination.

Arkansas Leader circa 2004:

If you’re wondering how Gov. Huckabee’s hundreds of clemencies compare with neighboring states, get ready for a shocker. Huckabee leads the pack. He has issued more commutations and pardons than all of the six neighboring states combined.

Governors seldom reduce sentences in other states – and almost never for murderers serving life without parole or for rapists or for habitual drunk drivers, while in Arkansas it’s a regular habit with Huckabee.

Other governors use their clemency power only rarely, while Huckabee has made it routine. As we’ve told you before, he has issued more than 700 pardons and commutations during his eight years in office – more than 137 this year alone – and more than his three predecessors combined.

Here are the figures for neighboring states since 1996, when Huckabee took office (and keep in mind the population of these states is nearly 20 times ours):

___ >> Louisiana – 213.
___ >> Mississippi – 24.
___ >> Missouri – 79.
___ >> Oklahoma – 178.
___ >> Tennessee – 32.
___ >> Texas – 98 (includes 36 inmates released because they were convicted on drug charges with planted evidence).

Total: 624 vs. Huckabee’s 703.

Governors in neighboring states almost never grant killers clemency, while Huckabee has commuted the sentences of a dozen murderers.

Those men do not appear adept at saying “NO” to the consumption of more food than is necessary to support their daily activities.

We need a president who is adept at saying “NO” to the expenditure of more funds than the tax revenues supply.

Not missing any meals, are they? I don’t like or trust Huckster at all, to do what needs to be done as POTUS. He needs to just go away.

Sorry, not supporting the Huckster.

Money. That is all he cares about. He is pushing Common Core as well. This man is a traitor to our nation IMO. As a Preacher of the Gospel, he should be concerned about Truth instead of personal gain. He WILL answer for this.

Someone like Ted Cruz or Gov Walker in Wisconsin, these guys, I can believe in.

I also admire them. Ted Cruz has to overcome his stutter though, if he hopes to advance.

BTW, Cruz is my favorite conservative politician on this planet. Nevertheless, he must stop stuttering.

I never noticed Cruz has a stutter. Usually I only hear him speak in short sound bites. Some think Obama drags his S’es.
