Mr. Huckabee said he approved of virtually everything in the Monday night speech on immigration by Mr. Bush, including his National Guard and guest-worker initiatives, even though that agreement put Mr. Huckabee at odds, he said, with some fellow conservative Republicans. "I do believe some of it is driven by racism or nativism," he said of the opposition within his party to Mr. Bush's view that illegal aliens should not be deported but rather fined and eventually allowed U.S. citizenship. "It's not amnesty to make people pay for breaking the law," Mr. Huckabee said.

He might be, but Congressmen can't raise the money Governors or Senators can....

Huckabee is a pro-illegal RINO.
I agree. Allen has been firm in this amnesty mess, and he appears to be an authentic conservative. At the moment, I can think of no one better.
I like Huckabee. He has been a good friend to this web site, better than any of the other possible candidates for President. One lesson I've learned in politics is: support your friends.
Last post I saw on Huckabee, he was yucking it up with a hispanic pressure group about how pretty soon hispanic migrants would be the majority in this country. This guy may be a good governor of Arkansas but he has a loose wire somewhere upstairs.
Ping..
Three more nails into the coffin of the Huckster's presidential (guffaw) bid. Any self respecting conservative FReeper that votes for him cannot feign ignorance of what he has come to embrace. We Arkansans tried warning everyone that we could about Bubba back in 1991-92 and you see what happened when it was ignored. Now we're sounding the alarm again, this time for the Republicans. Will Republicans heed the warning? - OB1
Thanks for the ping.
Good luck Huckster, the field is chock full of sellout sacks of crap. What is your claim to additional treason?
A guy embraces, word for word, a speech made by a President with a popularity rating that could only be described as abysmal on a topic that has sent his supporters to the sidelines in droves.
I'm not sure the country is ready for a guy this politically astute. LOL
No one's perfect.
Huckabee's my second choice, after Hunter.
