Cato doesn't like Gov. Huckabee because he's a Christian.

Seems as if they dislike him because “As governor of Arkansas, Huckabee dramatically increased state spending. During his two-term tenure, spending increased by more than 65 percent — at three times the rate of inflation.

The number of government workers increased by 20 percent, and the state’s debt services increased by nearly $1 billion. Huckabee financed his spending binge with higher taxes. Under his leadership, the average Arkansan’s tax burden increased 47 percent, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, including increases in the state’s gas, sales, income, and cigarette taxes. He raised taxes on everything from groceries to nursing home beds.”

Cato doesn't like Mike Huckabee because he is the biggest of Big-Government so-called Conservatives.

Read the article again, they rightfully mention he was the strongest on Abortion and the Gay agenda but he was deplorable on everything else considered conservative.

The man is not called the "Huckster" for nothing. It's his record.

No, it's because he flunks the "I know better than to be a social-conservative Gomer, but I'm 'irresponsible' because I 'cater to' them" .... ie. Huckster falls short of the "economic conservative" ideal (economic liberal + epiphenomenal materialist) and so must be rejected.

This is Cato warning off the other RiNO funding sources, that Huck is not Of the Number and the Breeding.

I don’t support Huckabee as a candidate but if Rand or Walker or Jeb or Priebus or whoever start selling out on abortion and fag marriage I hope Huckabee continues to threaten a third party run.

Huckabee and Steve King were the only ones to call out Tokyo Rove’s death threat.

Huckabee and his donors have backed good conservatives like Steve King, Cotton and others.

I think Santorum chances are weak with Walker copying his legal immigration stance.
