What is Mike HUCKABEE Hiding by Destroying Computer hard drives ? When Huckabee left the governor's office in Arkansas, he destroyed 90 computer hard drives, and a law suit has been filed against him and Brenda Turner, Huckabee's chief of staff. The law suit states "the destruction of the hard drives violated state statutes requiring public records to be open to inspection and prohibiting computer trespass". What is it Mike Huckabee does not want you to know and what could he be hiding ? (Reference 1/11/08 Article - ANB Little Rock News).
What do Arkansans think of Mike Huckabee? I'd like to hear from residents of Arkansas on their opinion of MIke Huckabee. Do you recall any positive or negative impact he had on your life and the lives of your loved ones during his time as governor? Do you support him as a presidential candidate? From your experience, do you think he would make a good President? Thanks for any and all responses!
What on Earth is Mike Huckabee doing still being in the GOP race? The race is over. McCain is the nominee. Baring a death of scandal, the process is over and all that's left are a few formalities. So why is Mike Huckabee still running when its mathematically impossible for him to win? Is he hoping for VP? That's the only reason I could see him prolonging this thing?
What song best describes Mike Huckabee? Please no songs about how he's going to fail in the primaries and should give up. This is for my government project (I don't personally think he should be president), and I need a good song that goes along with Mike Huckabee. Thanks!
What country does Mike Huckabee live in? GOP chair, Michael Steele, is clearly "pro-life" (anti-choice). When he talked about the "choice" to have an abortion, he was living in America where we do, in fact, have the "choice" between abortion and adoption. Where exactly does Mike Huckabee live that people do not have that choice? Because it isn't America.
Do you think Mike Huckabee still has a chance? Mike Huckabee has been written off by the media, but I think this guy is about to pick up some steam in Florida. I also think he is going to win Alabama, Tennesse and Georgia on Super Tuesday now that Fred Thompson is gone. Whatcha think? oh i forgot about Arkansas and OK. I think he's ahead in Texas too.
Mike Huckabee? Has anyone heard what he said the other night about amending the constitution to God's standards? The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that. "I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view." When Willie Geist reported Huckabee's opinion on MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn't immediately find much to say beyond calling it "interesting," Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes "evangelicals should be able to talk politics ... some might find that statement very troubling, that we're going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that's all I'm going to say." http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Huckabee_Amend_Constitution_to_meet_Gods_0115.html Here's the link for it. The answer given by "the chosen one" down there is a prime example of why I am terrified about this next election. There seem to be a hell of a lot more evangelicals in this country than any other type of religious cult. If he is elected president, then Im moving to Norway.
Mike Huckabee? Hello, I'm a teacher and I need a way to get in touch with Mike Huckabee. I'm a single mom, an educator, and believe in everything he has to say about faith, politics, and education. I just want to ask him to come speak to our community. I'm a good teacher, and my kids believe in me. I want to help him make a change! Anyone who has any info, please help... corey17cves@yahoo.com
At this point, is Ron Paul helping or hurting Mike Huckabee by staying in the race? Right now Huckabee is riding a strong push in the GOP race. So I'm wondering, if Ron Paul should decide to drop out and leave Huckabee one on one with McCain, will Huckabee benefit or gain? Ron Paul has nearly 1/4 of the votes in Washington state by the way... Also, I realize McCain has this thing won. Huckabee would need 85% of the rest of the delegates which won't happen.
Do you feel the lead singer of Boston was ripped off by Mike Huckabee? The lead singer of Boston, wrote a letter to Huckabee to stop playing his songs, becuase he feels it may represent an endorsement by the group Boston. I dont see the big deal in it, he was just entertaining a crowd, and if anything it may have brought more fans and record sales to the group Boston. Mellencamp also, even though he is liberal, whats the big deal playing songs at McCains rally? They are songs for everyone to enjoy, not a political endorsement. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Is Mike Huckabee a member of the Council of Foriegn Relations? I know he has some CFR approved positions but is he a member? Also, where can I find a current list of CFR members. The most recent one I found is from 2001 and lists McCain, Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton, but not Romney, Guiliani, or Thompson, and I've seen several posts claiming they were members. So please provide sources.
Do you believe that God can boost Mike Huckabee through his turmoiled chance at becoming president? Right now Mr. Huckabee a true conservative Christian leader is taking bid at becoming our president. His chances have been out matched by Senators John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. I believe with faith in God he can win the republican and general election. I have had people tell me not even God can boost Huckabee's turmoiled chance nor can he scour McCain's, Obama's or Clinton's momentum (above Huckabee). Do you believe this? I don't!
Should Democrats bankroll Mike Huckabee to help him become the Republican nominee and lose in November? He's currently out of money and the conservatives aren't going to send him enough to stay in the race. However, Fred Thompson has dropped out, so if Huckabee doesn't run out of money, he probably can bridge the gap and beat McCain in the primaries. Would it make sense for the Democratic base to fund Huckabee to help him get nominated so that he can lose in a landslide and permanently discredit the Christian Right and their agenda?
Did you see the double team that John McCain and Mike Huckabee did to Romney in West Virginia? No matter how McCain denies it Bill and Hillary would have been proud. Does Governor Mike get to be Bill sometimes in their relationship or does McCain always make him be Hillary? A true conservative as McCain calls himself this election would have worked this out from the beginning. A maverick as he called himself one election ago would probably let the mood dictate who dresses what way.
Does Mike Huckabee think Bush and Cheney deserve the death penalty? a few months ago, during the talk of bringing the 9/11 terrorists to NY, mike huckabee said something like "and if the result is anything less than the death penalty, for those murderous terrorists..." so, considering the fact that bush and cheney are responsible for more deaths than the terrorists, shouldnt they get the death penalty too? i mean, if one is consistent in what they say.. :)
Does anyone think Mike Huckabee calling for an apology was a good idea? Mitt Romney runs ads pointing out Huckabee's records on raising taxes and giving tuition breaks to children of illegal immigrants. He runs ads against John McCain pointing out that McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts but now wants to make them permanent. Now Huckabee is calling for Romney to apologize for running the ads. Is it possible for Huckabee to be any more ... what's the word ... ridiculous?
Should Mike Huckabee pick an evil conservative atheist as his Vice President? Huckabee is buddys with John Hagee, who tells us the Rapture will happen soon. Seems clear that Huckabee as President will get Raptured. But if Huckabee picks another evangelical to be Vice President, then that guy will ALSO get raptured. That will make Nancy Pelosi as President (we know she won't get raptured). So to prevent that from happening, who should Huckabee pick as his running mate?
Who else predicted that Mike Huckabee would climb in the polls? I've been saying that Huckabee is solid for about 6 weeks, when I first started following the race. Now he's in second in the polls. Who else saw this coming? Coates, that was almost exactly my thoughts. Make a strong showing in Iowa, and he has a chance.
How exactly is Mit Romney and Mike Huckabee going to change Washington? I have noticed them use the term "change" alot. That they're going to "change" Washington. They are social and economic conservatives, former governors, and Washington "outsiders". But wait a minute... Bush is also a corporate and social conservative. He was a former governor and in fact was a Washington "outsider" before he became president. How are Romney and Huckabee going to change Washington when they're exactly like Bush Jr?
What do you think of Mike Huckabee? It is so sad that in actuality our ability to nominate the best presidential candidate is dependent upon how many millions of dollars they have to get their voice heard. Although Mike Huckabee is so incredibly under funded, he continues to gain support, inch by inch, due to his ideals, unity, compassion, humility, and everything else this country so badly needs in a leader. Mark my words, he will continue to gain support, and while the other candidates sling the usual mud at each other, Mike Huckabee will stand strong for his convictions and use his time to wisely tell the American people what he can do for this country rather than run another candidate into the ground. We need someone who knows what it's like to have clipped coupons, faced adversity, and has experienced the same things as the average Joe. A miracle is about to happen to this nation, so sit back and watch as Mike Huckabee takes center stage - inch by inch.
How do I get over my depression over Mike Huckabee not going to win the elections? I'm sooooooooooo down :'( why? why? why? Can you imagine how many new awesome Chuck Norris facts would have come if Huckabee had won the elections and became the president of the US? I can't believe I will never read these facts :( :( :( I liked Mitt Romney and I'm depressed because of him too, but this, with Huckabee is like so OMG! I'm so down, please HELP!!!!!!!!!! I wanted these facts :'(
Mike Huckabee? Media always focuses on Hitlery and obama. Anyone looking into Mike Huckabee? I heard some stuff about him on the radio he looks pretty good so far.
mike huckabee? do you agree with Mike Huckabee's believes and goals? if so why? if not why not?
Mike Huckabee? Would you vote for Mike Huckabee? Why or why not? Becca - YOU ARE MISTAKEN http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Issues.View&Issue_id=4 Becca - HUH?
Mike Huckabee? Mike Huckabee recently reiterated that "a wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband." Do women who plan to vote for him actually believe that? Do you see yourselves as servants of your husbands? He also insists that we need to "take back this nation for Christ" Take it back from who? The US citizens? I find both comments disturbing from a man who would like to lead a country founded on religious freedom. How can a man with such views actually uphold the US Constitution as the president is sworn to do? John S - I would assume Baptists are prospective voters so I don't know why the location would matter.
Mike Huckabee? Does Mike Huckabee still have a chance. Is there something he can do that he can win that doesn't include killing John McCain?
Mike Huckabee ............... ? How much do you know personally about Mike Hukabee??? If you have listened, and done your research on him, do you think he would make a good President? Please answer only if you understand his viewpoints ,and past history in politics.
Mike Huckabee..? I really like his stand on religion and how much he revolves his life around his faith, and I really like his views on illegal immigration. But then it comes down to the war in Iraq. Not only does he want to continue the war (He thinks that America HAS to win.. NEWS FLASH: There's nothing to win, I thought the point was the help their country..) he wants to increase the wars budget. I personally think that there has already been too much money spent on this war, that we could be using to improve our own nation. He is also pro-life (Which is fine because I am too..) BUT.. he is against stem cell research. I don't understand this, due to the fact that it could cure tons of diseases and save billions of lives. I just want to hear from Huckabee supporters and Huckeabee haters. I like the man.. ALOT, I just can't seem to agree with these two issues. What's your opinion?? -Britt
Mike Huckabee? OK im not a Huckabee supporter in the slightest...but he has the BEST commercial ive ever seen for a presidential candidate....i dunno if its old or not i just found it check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjYv2YW6azE haha that one was funny too
Mike Huckabee? The more I hear about him, the more he sounds like a conservative democrat. He raised taxes in Arkansas, was weak on immigration, is a proponent of the anti smoking coalition nanny staters, was weak on crime in Arkansas, and is in the man made global warming hysteria camp. This man is in the wrong party. http://redstate.com/blogs/kripto/2007/dec/04/huckabees_liberal_record Being pro life doesn't make you a republican. There are many conservative democrats that are pro life.
Mike Huckabee? Can someone tell me what his stance is on immigration and the open borders policy?
Mike Huckabee!?!? What do yall think about him!? to me he seems like a good potential president. What i love is he came to my church to speak and instead of making it political (which is what i thought he would do) he made an amazing sermon! can someone who knows tell me where he stands on different issues
Mike Huckabee? Is it true this guy wants to get rid of everyone with aids. I heard he wants to quarantine them.
Mike Huckabee.? No particular question. Rant or rave, I want to hear your thoughts on his candidacy. Candidacy for president
Mike Huckabee? Does he have a chance? And if he does why shouldn't i vote for him?
Mike Huckabee? Does anyone think he has a shot at beating McCain? I know that he would basically have to win out now, but since Mitt Romney is gone couldn't happen?
Mike Huckabee? Great candidate or the greatest candidate. Pick a side... were at war.
Mike Huckabee? Does a national consumption tax is a viable alternative to the current federal income tax system that we currently use? What is the amount of money the federal government raises annually through income and payroll taxes and its allocation throughout the federal budget?
Mike Huckabee for president? Do you like religious oppression? Do you think the length of a woman's skirt should be dictated by her husband? Mike Huckabee does. Do you think everyone with HIV (gay or not) should be quarantined from society? Mike Huckabee does. Mike Huckabee declared that people who do not believe in God tend to be immoral and to engage in "destructive behavior." (I wonder what his answer to the religious-driven Crusades is? Or the religious support of slavery in the 1800's?) Mike Huckabee believes that the "perfection of God" is found in a marriage between one man and one woman. (If this is 'perfection' then why is the divorce rate in America 60%? Doesn't sound like perfection to me.) If this is the best Republicans can do? Religious extremism? No, I didn't provide links, its too much trouble. ANYONE can look this stuff up themselves.
Mike Huckabee. Too bad the media and demcrats will be trying to make such a good man look bad...? Is it really necessary to make Mike Huckabee look bad to keep people from voting for him? Honestly, here i my voting view on it. Mike Huckabee appears to be a really nice guy, with some pretty great moral values. He carries the values that I would try to teach my kids. I like Romney too for his values, so I would certainly vote for Romney/Huckabee ....or Huckabee/Romney. The other candidates are now starting to attack the guy for things he said 15 years ago (that wasnt even too contrversial in my eyes). Do those candidates think that if they make me view Huckabee as a bad guy that I will vote for them? I wouldnt vote for them after they tear a good moral guy down....in fatc, I would make a point to NOT vote for any of the candidates that tried to tear him down. I make sure to vote at every election, but I would rather just not vote for anyone than to vote for the person runnng the negative ads. Anyone else look at it this way? please...no need to tell me about your left leaning ideas...so spare us all from that. Just wondering what your viewpoint is on negative ads attacking what most see as a good person. looking over some of the answers...we really do have morons roaming yahoo world. Some monkey guy suggests you must move to Pakistan to get away from left leaning rants. (I wish it were that simple) some guy (I assume) suggesting I am only looking for the good things in the candidate. Not the point at all..I just dont need the other candidate telling me the bad points in their opponents. They should spend their time giving me a reason TO vote for them...not reason to NOT for for the other guy. Just the fact that these things need to be said is depressing enough. If you are not capable of reading the question and understanding it...why even answer? re: calvin: good answer..that's what I am talking about! Well said! Thanks for restoring my faith a bit in yahoo lookers. re: cynical No..I will check all his facts...thats my point. I will check the facts, and I want all the facts...but I wouldnt vote for the guy feeling the need to give me those facts about an opponent. I can get those facts..in fact, I have some of them already...and yours is off a bit. The Governor in his state (any governor)doesnt have any control over the release of rapists. He had no control over that situation at that time...thats a fact that will not be made known by his opponents! Please also know that I didnt say e was my guy..I dont know who I am voting for just yet..I just know I wouldnt vote for anyone running negative attacks.
Mike Huckabee, a candidate for america? Mike Huckabee wants to be president, but have you heard the latest? -Mike Huckabee personally petitioned for the release of a violent rapist who went on to rape and murder again -Mike Huckabee called for the segregation of aids patients in hospitals and medical centers Is this the person to protect us and lead us as president? Any thoughts out there?
Mike Huckabee/Chuck Norris? What a Ticket!? With one endorsement from Chuck, Mike went from a "who is he" to the winner of Iowa. Everyone should type in "Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris" on their search engines to see what kind of effect Chucks endorsement has had. CNN, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many others have talked about the power of Chucks endorsement. One article said, "Chuck Norris has a cult following big enough to fill three continents". Another states, "Chuck Norris has shown Oprah Winfrey who the true heavyweight in Hollywood is". Also, "Chuck Norris has single handedly turned Mike Huckabee into a true presidential contender". And, "It seems that Chuck Norris may be the new president maker". There are hundreds of articles on this subject. Everyone should check them out. You may not like Mike or Chuck, but the latter has definitely put the former on the presidential map. I liked Archie!! lol I agree with Chuck on the issues!
Mike Huckabee raised a son who tortured a stray dog to death. How can anyone vote for him for president?!? You may not like McCain (or Obama and Hillary), but at least they didn’t raise one of their children to do something so evil and satanic as to torture an innocent animal to death! Press Release: Two boy scout counselors, 17-year-old Clayton Frady, and 18-year-old David Huckabee, the son of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, have admitted to catching a stray dog during their summer session at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, AR, and hanging the dog by his neck, slitting his throat and stoning him to death. (Miller County, Arkansas) Newsweek also detailed how Mike Huckabee fired the prosecutor who filed animal cruelty charges against his son and fired the director of Arkansas’ state police because, as Huckabee told him, “I couldn’t get you to help me with my son when I had that problem." “Without question, Huckabee was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, a former FBI chief. Mike Huckabee would be a disgrace as president!
Why not Mike Huckabee? I'm not a Republican, so I want to know why Mike Huckabee is not getting as much support as he should be. Mike Huckabee is a consistent conservative; not a flip-flopper like Mitt Romney. Fred Thompson doesn't come off as intelligent or hardworking. Rudy Guiliani is a liberal which is okay for moderate and liberal Republicans; but I'm not sure about conservative Republicans. I don't agree with many of Mike Huckabee's positions; but he's a likable man. Saying that America would never vote for someone with that last name sounds stuck-up. I'm a Democrat; but I will look at both nominees objectively and decide who has the best solutions for our country's problems. Then why not Tancredo or Hunter? I don't understand why some of the other candidates are getting support over others. I'm not voting for Mike Huckabee; I'm not even a Republican. I just don't understand how someone could vote for Mitt Romney knowing that he's a flip-flopper and some conservative Republicans are threatening to run a third party candidate if Rudy Guiliani gets the nominations.
Why has Mike Huckabee drasticly changed his tone on the environment? Mike Huckabee in 2006: "Environmentalists are those whackos who want to tell you what kind of deodarant to wear.... some people just don't understand." Mike Huckabee in 2007: "There has been a perception that conservative Republicans do not care much for the environment or the protection and preservation of natural resources. I remind people that the very word "conservative" means that we are all about conserving things that are valuable and dear. Few things are more valuable to us than the natural resources that God created and gave to us to carefully manage." From Huckabee's own website: As former chairman of the Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission, Huckabee worked with the 37-state coalition to develop energy policy and lobby Congress on energy matters... So, the oil lobbyist is maybe trying to pretend to be something other than what he is?
Is Mike Huckabee the best Republicans have? Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said today that the "jury is still out" on whether or not humans co-existed with dinosaurs and other pre-historic creatures. Responding to a question during a rally in Plainview, a Des Moines suburb, Huckabee said that it was possible that humans interacted with the giant reptiles as recently as 6,000 years ago. "Did humans live alongside dinosaurs? I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure. But I do know that my Bible describes dragons in Genesis. They could have drowned in Noah's Flood," he said. According to recent polls, Huckabee has surged in both Iowa and South Carolina. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/11/huckabee.dinosaurs/index.html
Mike Huckabee got an endorsement from Chuck Norris, are you moved by this gesture? "I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is the real deal." - Chuck Norris in one movie Chuck Norris can be seen training an aryan super being. but Chuck Norris and the aryan super being flew around on a stealth bomber.... i think that has quite a bit to do with reality. i think he also directed it. no the movie was directed by son of Chuck Norris the aryan super beings name was 'Deke'
Why does Mike Huckabee claim that God put him on top of the polls? http://www.democracynow.org/2007/12/20/mike_huckabee_equates_environmentalism_with_pornography "MIKE HUCKABEE: There’s only one explanation for it, and it’s not a human one. It’s the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of 5,000 people. And that’s the only way that our campaign could be doing what it’s doing. And I’m not being facetious, nor am I trying to be trite. There literally are thousands of people across this country who are praying that a little will become much, and it has. And it defies all explanation. It has confounded the pundits. And I am enjoying every minute of their trying to figure it out. And until they look at it from a—just experience beyond human, they’ll never figure it out. And that’s probably just as well. That’s honestly why it’s happening." Why does Huckabee claim God made him the frontrunner? Afterall, aren't there more logical explanations?
Is Mike Huckabee electable? I'm from Arkansas and I have a couple of problems with Huckabee. 1. He lost weight now he wants to force everyone around him to be like him. 2. A triplewide moble home was bought for him to live in when the governors mansion was being remodeled. 3. By pressing his Christian morals he has completely forgotten that the US has other religions. 4. Arkansas has a huge immgrant problem 5. Huckabee is not a protector of freedom or rights. 6. Mike Huckabee only thinks about what is right for himself and his god. His is NOT Bill Clinton. Please note: i'm not writing a anticampain speech I'm only concerned as a voter and a person who lives in his state. I m also not endorsing anyone either. I am only voicing my thoughts. Does anyone know the cost of a custom triplewide moble home is? Why not a single wide?
Is Mike Huckabee showing his lack of integrity early? NY Times article quote: Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas today professed his support for the striking television writers union just a few hours before he was expected to board a plane for a taping of the Jay Leno show where he will face a vocal picket line of striking writers. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Huckabee said he was unaware that he would be crossing picket lines and believed that the program had reached a special agreement with the union. Although crossing picket lines might not be unusual for most Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee has waged an unusual populist campaign on economic issues, stressing his empathy with the anxieties of working people. On Wednesday, he said he identified with the striking television workers as an author himself and believed they deserved a share of the proceeds from the sale of their work. Does anyone believe his lame excuse? Is he so desperate that he already reverses his public statements? Is he as clueless as our current President? http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/02/huckabee-will-cross-picket-line-to-appear-on-leno/

He comes off incredibly two-faced and unethical while wrapping the trappings of religion around him.
Is Mike Huckabee (R) at WAR with the environment? FROM RELATED ARTICLE: THE GREENS MUST BE CRAZY Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) lashed out at "wacko environmentalists" who, he alleged, "want to tell us what deodorant we can use and what kind of gas to put in our car." Last April, Huckabee, a Baptist minister, added a religious gloss to that assessment, telling the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation that "environmentalists are those who worship the things He made rather than He who made them." But when 44 public-interest groups accused him by letter of "demagoguery on a scale beyond that normally seen in the course of public debate," Huckabee issued a mea culpa. "It would have been more appropriate," he said, "if I made a distinction between environmentalists and those who could be considered `extreme' environmentalists."

Mike Huckabee Has Serious Skeletons In The Closet? He took unusual and even illegal steps to get a convicted rapist paroled and the guy raped and murdered a woman shortly after. Then he had $300,000 worth of computer hard drives destroyed before he left office while being investigated on ethics violations. Hillary has to be praying Huckabee gets the GOP nomination. http://cliffschecter.bravenewfilms.org/blog/17322-mike-huckabee-s-skeletons-in-the-closet
Mike Huckabee copied ron paul? Did Mike Huckabee copy Ron Paul with regards to eliminating the IRS? We all know Ron Paul has a long track record of voting consistently on these issues, but what about Huckabee?
Mike Huckabee for President? Is anyone for Mike Huckabee besides me? He is absolutely the best candidate I've seen in a long time. Conservative, sesible, smart. HUCKABEE 2008!!! A website about him: http://www.explorehuckabee.com/
Why did Mike Huckabee take stem-cell money? "But what has rallied so many to his cause is the belief that he's the real deal at least as a so-called "social conservative"--meaning, folks count on him to be a determined advocate of the unborn. So it is surprising to learn that in 2006, Huckabee received $35,000 in speaking fees from Novo Nordisk--a company that grinds up embryonic unborn children for the sake of "research." I had forgotten, but Mitt Romney got a lot of criticism because his blind trust invested in this same company. This news comes out in the context of other reports that, as governor, Huckabee accepted quite a lot of such fees--over $370,000 from corporations as governor. So reports the Weekly Standard." http://frmartinfox.blogspot.com/2007/12/why-did-mike-huckabee-take-stem-cell.html http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/529cebra.asp?pg=1
If Mike Huckabee becomes President, will he be in clear Violation of the First Amendment? If Mike Huckabee becomes President, will he be in clear Violation of the First Amendment? The first Amendment clearly states the separation church and state; which states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… If Huckabee is elected President; he being a Baptist minister any laws created will carry the under tones of his religious beliefs, essentially affect the chance of a clear non partisan objective. What’s your opinion, Should Congress Prosecute him or Pardon him? In a campaign ad, Huckabee says, "Faith doesn't just influence me. It really defines me," and he identifies himself as a "Christian leader." It's one thing to read the First Amendment Establishment Clause as prohibiting the slightest government endorsement of the Christian religion (while not demonstrating similar angst over government promotion of secular humanism, New Age-ism, Islam or Native American spirituality). But it's taking it to an entirely new level to say that it precludes public officeholders from allowing their Christian worldview to influence their policy preferences or governance. Public officials cannot separate their worldview from their governance without gutting themselves into ciphers. Their policy agenda will necessarily reflect their value system. Voters in turn properly base their decisions on candidates in part on their respective values and how closely they resemble their own. Does that mean we are on the same path as our current nut bag president? When Mike Huckabee became lieutenant governor of Arkansas in 1993, he complained of being burdened by college tuition bills for his son, the expenses of two residences — one in Texarkana and the other in Little Rock — and the cost of commuting between the two. The Huskster, With an annual salary of $25,452,000 he said he was falling short in covering the bills. “It was costing him money to be lieutenant governor,” Mr. Huckabee recalled in a 1997 newspaper interview. To bridge the gap between his income and his expenses, Hucks and a few close political advisers came up with a plan. They formed a nonprofit organization that raised money for Mr. Huckabee to travel the country promoting conservative politics to fellow ministers In its three-year life span, the organization, Action America, collected $119,916 from a dozen or so donors. Among them were former Senator Bob Dole’s political action committee, an Arkansas cotton gin owner who had been jailed for stock fraud, and R. J. Reynolds, the tobacco giant that had opposed the Clinton health plan. As for Mr. Huckabee, he ended up with $61,500 for his efforts before becoming governor in July 1996 and shuttering the group. As information about the secretive group began to leak out in 1997, Democrats in Arkansas pressed for the identity of its donors, which Mr. Huckabee has refused to disclose. In addition, he failed to report his Act As information about the secretive group began to leak out in 1997, Democrats in Arkansas pressed for the identity of its donors, which Mr. Huckabee has refused to disclose. In addition, he failed to report his Action America income on his 1994 financial disclosure form, resulting in a “letter of caution” from the Arkansas Ethics Commission in 1997.

Who agrees that Mike Huckabee is stupid? Isolating Aids carriers!? Mike Huckabee once advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, opposed increased federal funding in the search for a cure and said homosexuality could "pose a dangerous public health risk." ADVERTISEMENT\ As a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in 1992, Huckabee answered 229 questions submitted to him by The Associated Press. Besides a quarantine, Huckabee suggested that Hollywood celebrities fund AIDS research from their own pockets, rather than federal health agencies. "If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague," Huckabee wrote. It is difficult to understand the public policy towards AIDS. It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue If you would like to read the full thing it is <http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071208/ap_on_el_pr/huckabee_aids> I think he is stupid in suggesting Aids carriers be gathered and put together. It is very hard to recieve aids and those who do dont practice safe sex or they use needles used by those who carry AIDS. This is 2007 and his idea seems stupid its not like its infectious. I feel sad for people who have AIDS they have a hard life as is
Will Mike Huckabee ever get Congress to accept the Fair Tax? Mike Huckabee wants every American to stop paying federal income taxes. He wants everyone to pay a national sales tax, or "Fair Tax", if he becomes President. The Democrats in Congress vote NO on every bill that Republicans vote YES on. As a Huckabee supporter, do you really believe the Democrats in Congress will vote to give Americans a Fair Tax? Grumpyoldman, The poor are not taxed with the Fair Tax. Anyone at or below the poverty level would receive a rebate check from the federal government each month. They would be reimbursed for any taxes they paid. The Fair Tax does mainly help the middle class and rich. It isn't going to do that much for the poor. Mostly, the Fair Tax would eliminate all the red tape involved with filing federal income taxes each year.
Mike Huckabee on immigration? Mike Huckabee says he supports immigration and illegal aliens. On his website, he says he doesn't support an amnesty or a reform! Does he support or not? He has been criticed <(I'm sorry, I allways misspell this word) about supporting illegals, but he clearly says he does not support them in his website. Can someone please clear this out for me?
Mike Huckabee ....... and his past records..........? Mike Huckabee is rising steadily in the polls, especially with conservatives. He has so many great ideas. Yet his past history shows that he granted over 1000 pardons, that he is weak on illegal immigration, and several other things of concern to conservatives. If you are a conservative, and if you are aware of these things, how do you reconcile these seeming contradictions? Do you think he would make a good President?
Mike Huckabee and the Mormon issue? Mike Huckabee was slammed for stating that Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers...but if you read the Mormon's own Doctrine it states that "Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were born as siblings in heaven to them both, Mormon Doctrine, pg. 163" Do you think he should have had to apologize? http://www.carm.org/lds/lds_doctrines.htm I don't think he has anything to apologize for..he was stating the truth!
Mike Huckabee on a religious morning show last week? I was wondering what Governor Mike Huckabee was doing on a religious morning show everyday last week? Was it everyday or was it a repeat everyday?

Hey Pollsters, Can Mike Huckabee be believed and trusted? NY Times article quote: Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas today professed his support for the striking television writers union just a few hours before he was expected to board a plane for a taping of the Jay Leno show where he will face a vocal picket line of striking writers. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Huckabee said he was unaware that he would be crossing picket lines and believed that the program had reached a special agreement with the union. Although crossing picket lines might not be unusual for most Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee has waged an unusual populist campaign on economic issues, stressing his empathy with the anxieties of working people. On Wednesday, he said he identified with the striking television workers as an author himself and believed they deserved a share of the proceeds from the sale of their work. Does anyone believe his lame excuse? Is he so desperate that he already reverses his public statements? I ask again, can he be believed and trusted? http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/02/huckabee-will-cross-picket-line-to-appear-on-leno/
Why does Mike Huckabee let murderers and rapists go free? As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/04/documents-expose-huckabee_n_75362.html Oh yeah, I know some of you NeoCons are licking your chops after seeing the words Huffington Post. I challenge you to challenge the facts presented, not attack the publication. I guarantee that you can't do it.

Does Mike Huckabee Seem to the Most Reagan Like Style of GOP Candidates? Presidential Elections, GOP, Republicans, Ronald Reagan, GOP Primary, Republican Primary, Former Governors of Arkansas, Arkansas, Hope, Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, Baptists Seem to Have ... Sorry about that one folks ... forgot a word there. Seem to Have the .... that was a word I forgot to add ... mind works faster than the fingers I guess. The question is about the style and mannerisms ... I don't think Huck qualifies as a Libertarian ... probably Ron Paul does ... and as far as military leadership and how to run a well-oiled fighting machine hands down McCain. But does he really have that Reaganesque attitude and affability that the Gipper had?
How naive is Mike Huckabee about foreign policy? Part Two? Here's an article that, in addition to reviewing his article in Foreign Affairs, examines statements Mike Huckabee has made regarding foreign policy and why he thinks he is the best-qualified to lead in this area. It talks about debate answers he's given, press releases, everything. Let me know what you think. And if you can find any other statements Huckabee has made about foreign policy, feel free to share. http://news.yahoo.com/s/weeklystandard/20071218/cm_weeklystandard/theperilsofhuckaplomacy_1 Good point, everbrook. Still, the less "on-the-job" training required, the better. I'd rather see Mitt Romney, who in his business dealings and as organizer of the Olympics has had at least a basic education in dealing with other countries, or John McCain, who's been around politics forever, than a man who thinks he's qualified to lead a religious war just because he has a degree in religion.

Could Hillary Clinton wipe the floor with Mike Huckabee in the election? "Hillary Clinton will commit $50 billion for global HIV/AIDS by 2013, which will help ensure universal access to treatment, prevention and care. Hillary will double the number of people receiving AIDS treatments through U.S. programs. She will also work to strengthen partnerships with faith-based groups and other non-governmental organizations that have been a critical in helping to address HIV around the world." http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=4437 Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee refused to retract a statement he made in 1992 calling for the isolation of AIDS patients. Responding to an Associated Press questionnaire, Huckabee said steps should be taken to "isolate the carriers of this plague" during his failed run for a U.S. Senate seat from Arkansas in 1992. Huckabee did not explain how individuals with HIV would have been isolated. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/10/huckabee.aids/index.html The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded in 1985 that AIDS was not transmitted by casual contact. But Huckabee said at the time, "there were other concerns being voiced by public health officials." During his Senate run, Huckabee also told the AP in the questionnaire that he found homosexuality to be "an aberrant, unnatural and sinful lifestyle." http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/10/huckabee.aids/index.html steelegrave - yeah, that part bothers me too... as a Democrat, I wish she would keep the focus on the USA.
ron paul and mike huckabee? why are sites like Digg that seem to endorse ron paul or at least the vast majority of there users do attack Mike Huckabee for his social conservatism. Ron Pauls views are are no different and anyone who reads his campaign promises or listened to his interviews can tell that? is it willful blindness or just stupidity Actually I have yet to hear anything of Ron pauls views on evolution/vreationism anyone have proof either way
Might Mike Huckabee be a "real" Christian? He'd bring the troops home and stop shooting all those little, borwn non-English speaking heathens. You can delude yourselves all you want, but he does not have the stomach for the continuation of this meaningless and wanton killing. He'd take care of the poor, the sick, the socially-disdvantaged. Hell yeah, he'll raise taxes. How else do you think he's going to do it? Wow, it almost sounds like Mike Huckabee is interested in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Just like a real Christian... I have now made note that the real intelligensia weight in at around 2 pm CST...
Does anyone else think Mike Huckabee sold out? Using Chuck Norris for an ad, and saying the oldest, most retarded Chuck Norris jokes while Chuck is like "Mike Huckabee is a lifelong hunter"... 3 month olds can shoot guns? WHOAH! I just watched it...it's sad he's bringing religion into politics, and in a horrible manner. Stephen, wtf are you talking about?

Did you know that Mike Huckabee barely holds the contributions in the city he was born and raised in? Hillary Clinton is not even a native to Arkansas... but she still holds a majority of the donations from private citizens in the state. Huckabee has a slim majority of donations (last quarter) in the very town he was born and raised in... Hope, Arkansas Contributions This Quarter: Mike Huckabee - $16,250 from 10 donors Hillary Clinton - $13,000 from 7 donors (which include ambulance drivers, pharmacists and a registered nurse!) http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=loc&addr=&zip=71801&search=Search Does this information affect your opinion of the Good Minister?
Republicans: Does Mike Huckabee have a chance? As far as flag-bearer of GOP values, the best match I see is Mike Huckabee. Guiliani and McCain have ALOT of political baggage. Thompson is probably not running.... http://mikehuckabeepresident2008.blogspot.com/
Anyone heard of Mike Huckabee? How many of you have heard of Mike Huckabee? If you have, do you support him? If you haven't, look him up at http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=About.Home Here is a quote from Huckabee about the immigration issue that I pulled from his website: "Illegal immigrants already living among us who commit crimes must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and incarcerated or deported. I opposed the amnesty bill that was defeated by the Senate in June. I support the $3 billion that Congress recently appropriated for border security. . . [It will be] used to end "catch and release" by providing money to "catch and detain" those caught entering illegally and to crack down on those who enter legally, but overstay their visas. These border security provisions will stem the tide of illegals, which is what we must do before we can turn the tide and deal with those who are already here." He doesn't specify what he will do with the illegals here who are not causing trouble (hmmm....) but at least he's right on the point that if we don't get the borders secure FIRST, then we can't make a difference deporting the ones already inside. At least he seems to be against amnesty - if he was FOR amnesty, he wouldn't have my vote either! Btw, HM: if we nominate Hilary and she wins, how much damage would she do before we get get her out??? We can only hope it would be fixable, and personally I would rather have ANYONE other than Hilary at this point....
