Huckabee, Schmuckabee… Now it’s Alan Keyes’ turn to assume the Reagan Mantle and enjoy a 2-week run of GOP messiah-hood, just as Giuliani, Thompson, Romney, and the Huckster have already done.

What was on the computer harddrives that Huckabee had destroyed at taxpayer expenses? What was he hiding? Unless he comes completely clean and reveals what was hidden and why, he is unfit to be president. We want honesty. He appears too liberal on all issues.
I highly recommend Gov.Romney because he will be respected at home and abroad.

Whow!! It seems like Huck is getting it from all sides. A lesser man couldn’t stand the pressure. Huck is doing a masterful job, and I for one really like what I see. I’m ready for a new foward looking and positive future and I think Mike is the man to lead us there. Go Huck!!!

Hilary will continue to go down and Barak must close the deal. He needs to read the following commentary and then follow the advise. http://joeleonardi.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/how-to-halt-hillary/

Another story trying to ignore Ron Paul. Despite (because of?) having the biggest grassroots network of actual active supporters, from all across the political spectrum, the establishment likes to pretend he can't win. Obviously they would like to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. But the people are voting on the Internet, with their pocketbooks, and in straw polls, and by those measures, Ron Paul is not just a contender, he is the *leading* Republican candidate. As Bill Sardi put it on LewRockwell.com, "Ron Paul has grassroots financial support. There have been no fund-raising dinner speeches at $2300 per person (the Federal limit on a Presidential campaign donation). Compare this to Mitt Romney, who skirted around federal limits on campaign donations by raising millions of dollars before he announced his candidacy, and then went to States that have no limits on campaign donations to raise more funds. One influential donor gave $250,000 to Romney's campaign. Other candidates announced their candidacy after accepting large donations from labor unions or corporations. So they come into their candidacy as shills for special interests." Ron Paul has the personal character and integrity that no other presidential contender can match. Married 50 years to the same woman, quietly religious, idea-driven rather than ambition-driven, Air Force veteran, father and grandfather, medical doctor who went back into private practice after first serving in Congress, one of only like half a dozen members of Congress to support Ronald Reagan when he first ran for president, has never voted for a tax increase, sends back part of his office budget to the U.S. Treasury each year, is known as "Dr. No" for his refusal to vote against any unconstitutional legislation, and hence is rarely visited by D.C. lobbyists, because they know it's a waste of their time. If you believe in limited government, respect for the Constitution, protection of civil liberties, a republic and not an empire, Ron Paul is your man. Don't believe the media hype -- he CAN WIN, and a vote for liberty is never a wasted vote. The only wasted vote is a vote for a candidate you don't really believe in. http://www.RonPaul2008.com and http://www.TeaParty07.com .

I’ll let the partisans of the candidates continue their mudslinging at one another …

I remember a couple of years ago a massive natural disaster hitting Louisiana, and New Orleans, and Louisianans not from the Big Easy were evacuated.

Arkansas handled that scenario quite well, and it began with leadership at the top.

The funny thing is, when anyone throws mud, some of it sticks to the person throwing mud.

Huckabee is NO conservative:
Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes. The Arkansas Leader.com editorialized that Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.

The Arkansas Ethics Commission held proceedings 20 times on the former governor. During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary of state’s office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as governor but was not required to report their value.)

Two months after taking office, Huckabee stunned the state by saying he questioned rapist Wayne DuMond’s guilt and that it was his intention to free the rapist, DuMond murdered a women in Illinois after Huckabee set him free

Huckabee battled conservatives within his own party who were pushing for stricter state-level immigration measures, such as:.
- proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren’t federally mandated
- proof of citizenship when registering to vote
- Huckabee failed in his effort to make children of illegal immigrants eligible for state-funded scholarships and in-state tuition to Arkansas colleges.
In a1992 :U.S. Senate race, Huck advocated quarantining AIDS patients, and cutting AIDS research.
Does Huckabee subscribe to his spiritual advisor Timothy LaHay’s views of the Rapture, United Nations, and a Palestinian state?” Huck’s use of the “Christian Leader” title is a thinly-veiled attempt to impose a religious test in violation of Article Six of the Constitution.

Mike fails on so many levels as a true conservative
