Finally, I have never been a big fan of the argument that the bad choices of someone proclaiming himself/herself to be a Conservative were due to the environment they were in. How would that work for someone professing themselves to be a Christian.

Normally, that is not anything but an excuse. I agree. However, when you can be voted down by 75-25, a lot of stuff is coming out of your legislature that, even if you vetoed it, it would be overridden.

None of that means Huckabee is not a big government republican, because I think he is, but the evidence is amnesty, common core, and a love for so-called 'free trade' pacts.

Then you override it xzins, you don't pretend that you were against it and sign the bill. At least that is what a man of principle would do.
