Thus Spake Third-Place Huckabee

Huckabee supporters please investigate some of the sites here and see if it converts you to the Ron Paul camp.

In the 70's, with a Democratic House & Senate, and most State Houses under the Democrats, a Democratic President championed the ERA amendment to the Constitution. At a time much less contentious than today this relatively noncontroversial amendment could not be passed. That is how difficult it is to amend our Constitution.
Anyone that believes the Constitution can be amended to stop abortion is living a fool's dream. When Huckabee says the solution to ending abortions in the US is a Constitutional amendment, he is playing us like fools. It can't be done. Why do you think no one has ever tried?
It is not within the President's power to amend the Constitution - Huckabee suggests that as the solution to avoid any responsibility for his intended inaction.
Only Thompson is serious about bringing abortion under control. He knows that the key is to appoint one more strict constructionist to the Supreme Court. The pro-abortionist know it, too. To confirm the right candidate will be the fight of the century. It will take every ounce of a President's political capital to win the fight. A compromise will allow abortion to continue unchecked for another generation.
Huck has shown repeatedly that he will compromise or shift positions whenever advantageous. The only one that will NOT compromise his principles – or fail us - is Fred Thompson. If you really want the ongoing massacre of the unborn to stop - get serious. Look at the facts. Fred Thompson is our ONLY prayer.

Huckabee - NOT TRUST WORTHY!

Huckabee had 14 ethnical violations brought against him relating to
finances as governor. Shortly before announcing his candidacy for the
President of the United States, Huckabee ordered that the drives of 83
computers and 4 servers be destroyed during his transition phase in
leaving office. That's what crooked CEO do when they leave a company.

Huckabee raised taxes 21 times and granted clemency to 1033
convicted felons, 12 murderers and rapists. Try to improve his tough on
crime image with Chuck Norris. (Give me a break! If they were selling
weight lose machine it would be more convincing!)

He has a 2 1/2 year of religious higher education and as a minister selling religion for a living with people's donation for 12 years. Can anyone be serious that this person can revive our ecomony to compete with the China and Europe.

The phrase "doesn't believe in evolution" is a gross over simplification. Huckabee has said on several occasions that he believes in a Creator and doesn't know how or when He created the universe," This is a common evangelical position and doesn't preclude him or many of us from believing that some of the evolutionary theories or explanations are true.

He has clearly put forth his perspective as it intersects with this campaign and it would be better for America if the journalistic class would be honest in reporting on this issue. How about this? "Huckabee, who believes there is a God who created the universe, recently said..."

P.S. I think it is unlikely that any of the current candidates would be willing for you to write, "John Q. Candidate, who doesn't believe that there is a god who created the universe, recently said..." As such, this is a non-issue and you should drop it.

Mike Huckabee cut taxes 94 times. He raised the sales tax one cent in 11 years and did that only after the courts ordered him to do so. (He also got voter approval for a one-eighth-of-one-cent hike for parks and recreation.) He wants to repeal the income tax, abolish the IRS and institute the Fair Tax (fairtax.org) and opposes any tax increase for Social Security.
In Arkansas, the income tax when he took office was 1 percent for the poorest taxpayers and 7 percent for the richest, exactly where it stood when he left the statehouse 11 years later. He doubled the standard deduction and the child care credit, repealed capital gains taxes for home sales, lowered the capital gains rate, expanded the homestead exemption and set up tax-free savings accounts for medical care and college tuition.
The overall tax burden in Arkansas during Huckabee's tenure fell so that in ranking the 50 states, Arkansas went from 37th to 44th.
If his being an ordained Baptist minister worries you, consider this. His kids went to public schools even while he was Governor, he didn't try to interfere in the curriculum, they learned what all other kids in the country learned. He never proposed changing textbooks. He doesn't push his beliefs on you. If you want to know what he believes he won't try to spin it or make it more politically correct to win votes or make him more popular. He'll give it to you straight.
Now, isn't that refreshing!

For Ron Paul supporters: Dr. Paul can't win this election because his revolutionary ideas would undermine the capitalist system that has made the United States the superpower it is. We have made so many enemies that we can't suddenly withdraw our forces from all over the world without becoming vulnerable to counterattack by others. Those who have been bullied and exploited by Americans for decades are too angry. Perhaps a gradual and incremental approach could work, but that won't happen within the next four years. Instead of berating Mike Huckabee, whose philosophy is the closest to Paul's, why not support him as a viable alternative? That way Paul's good instincts would at least have a sympathetic hearing in the next administration.
