Does Huckabee remind anyone else of Nixon? i think he looks alot like nixon...

This is not a slip, Huckabee is an adamant opponent to torture. He has a history of going after his own party.

@12oink12 Huckabee flipped on immigration---from way too soft to hard.

He took millions from a tobacco slush fund. This proves he's a corrupt bastared just like the rest of 'em.

He raised taxes over 15 times as Gov. of Arkansas and was given the nickname "Ta Hike Mike" because of this. Fiscal conservative? Taxpayers' friend? I think not.

He released over 100 people from Arkansas prisons, one of whom was a convicted rapists killed two women afterward. Soft on crime.

Huckabee could be great president.

RapistsforHuckabee? MexicansforMike? Hey why do you Libs stick to cheering or cursing your own folks right now. Plenty of time left to diss the GOP later. How do I know these be Libs in wolf's clothing? Easy... count on libs to attempt to divide and conquer while saying their for a united country out of the other side of the mouth.

These names alone are divisive. Conservatives tend to be able to make clear arguments without having to resort to more tacts such as divisive, racial names.

There was an old saying when I was growing up in the 70's:

"Meaner than a preachers' kid."

God, please don't give this Huckleberry the job! LOL Eight years of Bush and this corrupt, bible thumping, war mongering, Republican Party is enough! The American people need a break; I am hoping for a "Hat Trick" come 2008! (smile) A smart ass is better than a dumb elephant any day!
