otterinbham 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 There's a lot not to like about Huckabee. Yeah, he's wrapping himself up in language of the faith, mainly to corral the knuckle dragging "Gods, Guns, and Guts" crowd, but he's really a statist if you take a look at his tenure in Arkansas, consistently raising taxes across the board. He provided free health insurance not just to kids of working poor in his state, but middle class families as well. He consistently opposed school choice and voucher programs, and signed into law a 21% minimum wage hike. As a result of all this largesse, government spending doubled and taxes rose about a half billion dollars while Huckabee sat in the governor's mansion in Little Rock. In short, look at what he's done, not what he's promising to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Mom 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Huckabee is far too enamored with the state's power to control behavior to be the type of conservative I am looking for. I don't like his past tax policies (although I do like the Fair Tax proposal), his medical policies (and I am not very fond of Big Macs, thank you very much), or his questionable ethics run-ins in Arkansas. I have yet to see someone from Arkansas jump up and down for him. That's pretty telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, where are all those erstwhile supporters today? Nope, when a guy can't muster a decent group of supporters from his home state to help in his run, you know the guy has baggage. Thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
