In a press release issued, former Governor Mike Huckabee took issue with the Tancredo campaign's characterization of him as a pro-amnesty politician. Unfortunately for the Governor, the facts support the label.
Fact #1. As Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee denounced an immigration bill (Arkansas Senate Bill 206) that "would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and would have required state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally."
(Doug Thompson, "Immigration Bill un-christian..governor says"Arkansas News Bureau 1/28/05)
Fact #2. As Governor, Mike Huckabee offered a proposal to give state funded scholarships and state benefits to illegal aliens.
(Laura Kellams, "Huckabee Plan would give aid to illegal aliens" Arkansas Democrat Gazette 1/12/2005)
Fact #3. Governor Huckabee supported a Bush-backed immigration plan that provides a path to citizenship for some illegal aliens.
(CNN 2008 Election Center, http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/candidates/mike.huckabee.html)
Fact #4. Governor Huckabee refuses to sign the "No Amnesty Pledge".
The Governor is suffering from what is called "amnesty amnesia". It is a contagious ailment spreading rapidly through the ranks of the Republican presidential candidates.
Watch Huckabee admit to selling out our citizenship to illegal aliens. He thinks it's not amnesty, but illegal aliens still get the grand prize: citizenship.

In the Primary or General?
Actually, I have doubts about him carrying either here in Arkansas - but has a better chance in the Primary. If the General Election is in question - then Hillary will carry Arkansas (I hate to admit it, but the Arkansas Republican Party has pretty much collapsed. They have a hard time fielding candidates at all - and when a good solid candidate does emerge, they won't help him out... And to top it off - there are a BUNCH of Hillary supporters still in this state. It is very much like a religion. One of the most disgusting displays I have ever witnessed.
Have you seen Ellery’s analysis of Thompson’s “bad” illegal votes?
I have wondered what the Huckster thinks about Luke 9:62. As a Minister, he did have his hand to the plow and He chose to leave it. I guess politics pays more than the ministry.
I dont think we will get a chance to. I have made up my mind to write in Tancredo.
Well Mikey, for all your good points that I do like, this seals your fate with me ol’ boy. As they say on the game show: “You are the weakest link. GOODBYE!!!”
Something I’ve noticed: There are some rabid Fred supporters, Romney supporters, Hunter supporters and even some Rudy supporters here on Free Republic. BUT, I’ve yet to see that Huckabee has any following at all amongst Freepers.
If you’re out there, let us hear from you.
Ping - this thread has been added to my Huckster list.

It takes more to be a true limited government adherent than just believing in Jesus and being pro-life...
Huckabee is a nice guy, but he is not a conservative.
