I won’t support Huckabee. Cruz is my man, and then it will be Walker.

However, we need to start being precise, in my opinion, about our political candidates. We have been told there are 3 legs that make up a truly conservative candidate: fiscal, social, defense. (I add another, life, because without a belief in LIFE, then liberty and pursuit of happiness are just talk.)

Huckabee rates as follows:

Life: conservative
Fiscal: moderate
Defense: moderate, since national security includes border issues and he waffles on amnesty
Social: conservative

So, on a 4 point conservative scale, Huckabee is a 2+.

Doing the same with Jeb Bush we get:

Life: moderate (remember Terry Schiavo)
Fiscal: liberal stimulus spender
Defense: liberal - rejects national security with full amnesty and maximal immigration
Social: liberal - accepts homosexual marriage, common core, etc.

Jeb Bush is a minus 3 on the scale. He is a liberal.

Yep. Life is a God-given right. Not granted by the government. Can’t be taken away by the government.

Huckabee is the type of politician who will say that big government is okay if the ends justify the means. All that matters is that he meant well. Typical liberal. Don’t judge me by the results judge me by my intentions.
