The current nomination process is horrible. First, there's Iowa, then NH; neither state in any way being representative of the politics/views of most Americans. Shouldn't make any difference what a bunch of Iowa farmers and NH airheaded "Y's" think about anything.
YYYYEP. We here I-O-Way boys don't know nuthin' A-tawl.:barf:
We've only predicted the president 50% of the time waaay before the candidates were even weeded down to three due to our silly cawwcusssess...
I don't think he should be compared to Bush. Most Republicans share similar views. With that, any thing that Huckabee stands for, he's labeled as another Bush. I think he's more of a 2A preserver than Bush. He appears to want to downsize the federal govt. That's almost the opposite of what Bush did. These are just a few, yet key examples that separate the two.
Huckabee, (aka Huckajesus), is an advocate of instate tuitiion, state controlled benefits, and amnesty for illegals. He push through enough tax increases in Arkansas to see a 6-fold increase in the state's budget while he was governor. He is very leftwing from a domestic policy, and very militaristic from a foreign policy perspective.
Yep, quite the embellishment. Or, should I say, one sided story being presented...
Nope, Arkansas' state budget increased by just over half (50%) in real terms from 1998 to 2007. That's in line with most State's for the same period.
And, of course the ones that bash him over the tax increases (as well as other issues) don't give the full disclosure as to WHY. He gets the "blame" when his own citizens allowed increases to fix those horrible roads.
He isn't the perfect candidate. I do have disagreements. However, when was the last time a true Rebublican candidate was very open about preserving the 2A for the RIGHT reasons? That, and a few other key issues that he believes in has my attention...
Probably won't vote, for the first time since I was eligible to vote.
That's the NUMBER ONE WITHOUT QUESTION best ammo for the far left. Nothing like seeing George Soros partying like there's no tomorrow. His ultimate victory must be near...
