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.”

But they had to love Huck for his mi casa, su casa speech to La Raza in 2003 (made, btw, with Slick hisself sitting on the speaker's dais right behind him, looking phenomenally smug and evil).

What could be wrong about a candidate who was foursquare for wage-breaking, even while governor of a small, impoverished State whose chickenmongers were determined to carry out "in-State outsourcing" of grueling, low-pay jobs to Mexican illegals?
