No on Mike Huckabee

I actually like a lot of what Huckabee has to say, but I dislike even more.

Based on his own campaign web site, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Project Vote-Smart, it appears that Mike Huckabee…

  • Wants to spend more money on pretty much everything.
  • Wants to tax Internet mailorder purchases.
  • Wants to place greater limits on how much you can contribute to your favorite candidates for political office. That greatly benefits incumbants and handicaps political outsiders.
  • Supports online voting. That would make election engineering simple and easy.
  • Wants to expand the government’s regulation of marriage.
  • Wants to expand the war on drugs, make drunk driving a federal crime, and build more prisons.
  • Thinks the prison at Guantanamo Bay is just dandy.
  • Wants to continue the war in Iraq.
  • Wants to give tax money to illegal aliens.
  • Wants to increase federal interference in education.
  • Wants to “expand the army” and use military force in many new places around the world.

No, thanks. I’ll stick with Paul.

    Chuck the Huck!
    He’s like Dubya, but worse. And when the Huckster has further wrecked everything in Jesus’ name, then it will be a long, uphill battle for American Christianity to repair its reputation.

  2. I’ll second this motion.
    Screw Huck. Screw Jorge Bush and Ghouliani.
    And I hope the Lizard Queen is smitten by lightning by the Lord. Soon. At least if a bolt from the blue takes her foul arse out, I can sigh. Knowing His Justice has been enacted.
