Except McCain has never pardoned murderers & rapists.
Or voted to raise taxes - ever!
McCain has served his country for over 20 years in the Navy.
And he was a POW. And CO of the largest squadron in the U.S. Navy. (How many bombing missions has Huckabee flown??).
And a Congressman. And a Senator (for over 20 years!).
He has tons of experience w/ Social Security, Medicare, and Health Care, and more.
McCain’s been to Iraq SEVEN times (how many for Huckabee??).
And he has 2 sons on Active Duty.
McCain has actually been involved in confirmation hearings for SCOTUS justices.
McCain has run a national campaign before.
He is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy - a top engineering school where LEADERSHIP and HONOR are integral parts of the curriculum.
McCain has four former Secretaries of State endorsing him (among others). And he is already familiar w/ world leaders.
McCain is reaching out to the youth in our country - even taking questions LIVE on MTV - that took some guts.
McCain has a long history of fighting pork barrel spending in Washington.
And let’s see - Huckabee has how much National Security experience?? Oh that’s right, zilch!
And as far as I know, McCain was never 100 lbs. overweight!
I don’t think you can compare McCain & Huckabee!

First, I don't support Huckabee. Far from it....he's disgusting me more by the day.
(INSERT OBLIGATORY NOD TO MCCAIN'S MILITARY SERVICE HERE)
But I'll bet I can put together a list of things Huckabee hasn't done. Let's see.....
-I'll bet he's never spearheaded a federal law to ration political speech.
-I'll bet he's never conspired with leftist democrats to block a plan to get conservative judicial nominees through the senate.
-I'll bet he didn't spout Democrat talking points in opposing Bush's tax cuts as "tax cuts for the rich."
-I'll bet he never waged a personal vendetta against the nation's Secretary of Defense in wartime.
-I'll bet he never sanctimoniously criticized the CIA for "waterboarding," even though top CIA officials have said it was instrumental in getting Al Queda bigwigs to spill information. (INSERT SECOND OBLIGATORY NOD TO MCCAIN'S MILITARY SERVICE HERE)
-I'll bet he never talked with JOHN FREAKING KERRY about being his running mate in 2004.
-I'll bet he never tried to push an amnesty bill for illgal aliens through the U.S. Senate over the objection of almost every one of his GOP Senate colleagues.
Nope. The Huckster never did all that. Then again, he hasn't been around as long as McCain - though he does have the same uncanny knack of getting adoring MSM coverage while pretending to be a conservative.
They're both frauds.

(ps, John McCain was a war hero. I may have forgotten to mention that. Hank)
