TPM ^ | 12/9/10 | Eric Kleefeld

Posted on 12/09/2010 7:39:03 PM PST by pissant

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR), a 2008 presidential candidate and possible candidate again for 2012, is currently having a multi-million dollars mansion built in his new primary residence state of Florida:

The Arkansas Times reports:

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee is building a $3 million house on Blue Mountain Beach just east of Destin, Fla. He bought the lot on the famous sugar sand beach last year for $800,000 and this year took out a building permit for a house expected to cost $2.2 million. The three-story house will have 8,224 square feet of living space and 2,969 square feet of decks and porch. A pool or spa is also in the works.

Walton County tax records show Huckabee has a $2.8 [million] mortgage with Centennial Bank after paying off $250,000 of the land purchase. This is in addition to a $375,000 mortgage outstanding on his vacation home in North Little Rock's Shady Valley.

He has used his position in the church so wisely.

Why do I feel he is a fraud?

Seems appropriate he’s building in the so-called “Redneck Riviera”...

Wonder if he even knows there’s a South Florida?

What’s wrong with building a nice house if he can afford it? I fail to see the problem here. Or are we jealous like liberals now?

That’s where I live (Palm Beach Gardens) and there are too many liberals from NY, MA & NJ. He is in the best part of FL.

Huck has a Fox News show which almost certainly pays a million plus per year.

The ironic thing is that he raised taxes so much in Arkansas that he now has to move to Florida which has no state income tax.

Yeah, such an amensty queen that one....

Maybe Duncan can move in with him now.

You could worship both of them at the same time.......

And how did he use his position "in the church"?

The man's been in elective office for many years AND he's got a regular show on FOX.

Besides, I don't think people speak of the Baptists as having "a church" at any higher level than the congregation that meets at a particular place. Their ministers are called ~ and can be dismissed by the congregation at will.

"Better that Mitt Romney though."

In the same way that Bill Clinton was better than Algore...
