This is why a candidate's record is important.

Ping to the article I showed earlier.

Great guy. Liberal candidate.

Yep. It is also why Huckabee just doesn’t make the cut, despite his pleasing rhetoric. That and his asinine statement that it was cruel to deny illegal aliens welfare benefits.

Gov. Huckabee hasn’t clicked with the American public, unfortunately. There is nothing wrong with his fundamentals from what I have read about him - it’s just that he doesn’t excite the voters on television. Gov. Huckabee is a really nice person, but he should drop out now for the sake of narrowing the field.

It’s time that Sen. McVain drop out also - he is finished.

I want to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. And do I mean all — personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment," Huckabee says. "Instead we will have the FairTax, a simple tax based on wealth."

Visit the Americans For Fair Taxation website for more information and The Fair Tax Act Of 2007 to read the bill. Fair Tax ping!

I would still take Huckabee over Rudy McRomeny.

And do I mean all — personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment," Huckabee says. "Instead we will have the FairTax, a simple tax based on wealth."

I am not sure that the candidate was quoted correctly (Newsmax isn't a credible news source in my opinion), but the FairTax is a national retail sales tax; it has nothing to do with taxing wealth -- it taxes consumption.

Huckabee is also an illegal immigration apologist. No thanks, had enough arkansas governors in the oval office.

Conservatives and Republicans eating their own, WOW! Who needs Liberal Democrats, we’re our own worst enemies.

The reason why, even though Huckabee seemingly fits the profile of the person we should be running, that it shouldn’t be him, is that last thing.

What they left out of the argument is that once he helped arrange the release of this guy, he ended up committing another crime after release. In terms of law and order, Huckabee is not it. And that is a serious problem, because we have to get our justice system back to where it was 100 years ago.

We Arkansans just can’t figure out the fascination with this RINO among the MSM and a seemingly growing number of voters. He is anything but a conservative and was pro-illegal alien to the point of being obnoxious. He even stated that it was unChristian not to welcome illegals into Arkansas with open arms.

My guess is The Huckster, as he is affectionately known among us hillbillies, is positioning himself for the VP slot should some damned yankee get the nomination for POTUS on the R ticket. Trust me, Huckabee in either slot is not something any conservative should support.
