We should hit republicans where they’ve been wrong.

Huckabee truly did have a legislature that was 75%+ democrat, so a lot of what happened in Arkansas has to be seen in that light.

His problems that belong to him are his support of amnesty, path to citizenship, common core, no child left behind, etc. He’s also open to another ground war in the middle east, yet doesn’t call for a declaration of war.

No xzins, his problem is that he can only be called a social conservative. His record as governor was atrocious in terms of being a conservative. There was nothing even slightly conservative in terms of fiscal issues.

Read this article which has been posted in the "Front Page News" section of FreeRepublic from Cato.org. It will provide you with all the facts you need:

Huckabee: The Biggest Big-Government Conservative - [12/11/2007]

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. BTW, Romney and his supporters were big on this particular excuse as to why he was such an utter progressive as Governor of Massachusetts.

But now he is a strong, articulate supporter of the Fairtax, and that needs to be part of the discussion during this campaign.

People who aren’t accountants can’t even imagine how monstrous and oppressive the IRS is, and how much the current tax code strangles our economy.

The National Retail Sales Tax, or Fair Tax, is a way to take power back from the politicians and lobbyists by doing away with all the federal income taxes (personal, estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes)

THE FAIR TAX WOULD BE THE BIGGEST TRANSFER OF POWER FROM DC BACK TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY’S HISTORY

Would you rather have that ground war there? Or here? Osama's already told us what he wanted, redoubled now by the ISIS calls for Gen 4 War here by shaheed-minded lusers.

Bush was right, Ron Paul was wrong. Get over it.
