Just Say NO to Mike Huckabee

He raised taxes several times while governor of Arkansas.

He was for amnesty.

He gave illegals in-state tuition.

He is a protectionist and speaks like a labor union boss when it comes to free trade.

All that and he is a Baptist minister. Nothing against Baptists. I would feel the same if he were a priest or a rabbi. Religion has no place in politics.

He is Hillary Clinton on the issues with religion on top it. The worst possible combination. A socialist bible thumper.

I cannot for the life of me understand how the pundits are comparing him to Ronald Reagan. He is nothing of the sort. Ronald Reagan believed government was the problem. Huckabee believes government is there to help. Comparing the two is laughable.

I am hoping this sudden surge in the polls is happening because people just don't know his positions all that well. He is a an eloquent speaker and looks like people are buying the sizzle. But people, please, notice there is no steak underneath.

Come on GOP, get your shit together already. You cannot possibly want another version of George Bush do you? A big government supposed conservative who has a personal relationship with Jesus. How's that working out for you so far? Love for Jesus should not be a campaign issue. If you want to love Jesus, love him all you want. Pray 24/7 for all I care. Go to church 10 times a week for all I care. But Jesus does not belong in the White House. This is not Iran for crying out loud. I don't want to hear the word Jesus from a president. I don't want to know when or if he prays. I don't want a president getting advice from Jesus or wondering WWJD. I'm pretty sure Jesus doesn't care one way or another about capital gains taxes or the AMT or Social Security or Medicare or how we should deal with China on trade issues. I just don't think those kinds of things are Jesus' areas of expertise. And a president should not be looking to JC for advice on those issues.

As long as Hillary doesn't win Huckabee is OK in my book.
