Political Party Poop

Going after Huckabee…

This is from last nights debate, Hot Air has more, I’m recycling my previous rants on Suckabee, I really don’t like this guy.

Huckabee is still the dude who released 1033 felons (more than all neighboring states combined) including 15 murderers and serial DUI offenders for political favors.Huckabee is still the dude that released one of the men only to have him killed again?

Huckabee is still the dude who concluded that the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba was bad for businesses then later flip flopped on that little issue.

Huckabee is stil the dude who encouraged Mexico to put a consulate in Little Rock facilitating illegal immigration and even arranging for sweet lease terms.

Huckabee is stil the dude who championed Bush’s Amnesty plan, he of course said that those that opposed “it is driven by sheer racism” and then flipped flopped on this issue(making all those Hispanics mad by the way thank you very much).

Huckabee is still the dude who said Gitmo was better than Arkansas Jails only to later call for it to be shut down after meeting with Terrorist sympathizers?

Huckabee is still the dude who claimed a well respected former UN Ambassador was advising him. So what if that was not the first time he told a white lie about foreign policy advisers?

Huckabee is still the dude who did not know what an NIE was, the geography of Pakistan, nor the Martial Law status in that VERY important country.

ALSO as Fred points out on Arkansas taxes:

(source) Huckabee likes to say he was tough on taxes in Arkansas, noting a $100 million tax cut in 1997 that until this year was Arkansas’ largest. When asked about a fuel tax increase he backed in 1999, Huckabee says incorrectly that he joined 80 percent of Arkansas voters in approving it.Huckabee in 1999 supported a $1 billion highway bond program, including costs for interest and lawyers’ fees, but the question on the ballot was only whether the state could take on the debt, not how Arkansas would pay for it. Huckabee had signed the fuel tax increase two months earlier.

Shortly after taking office, Huckabee took a four-day trip by bass boat along the Arkansas River to tout a 1/8th-cent sales tax increase for outdoor programs. (Two nature centers now carry the names of Huckabee and his wife.) Taxes went up $40 million in the months before the $100 million tax cut Huckabee touts.

Other taxes went up as Arkansas changed its property tax system and made improvements to its school system.
