Huckabee the Clown

  "Huckabee the Clown"

Grrreat Ideas Mike! -  You Are No Reagan!

When former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee ran for President in 2008, he did so under the guise of a  R.I.N.O. Conservative. Anyone who listened closely to his speeches heard a message that was far from compatible with the ideals of limited government and expanded liberty: two benchmarks of conservatism by any measure.

Huckabee openly supports a nationwide, Federally Mandated Smoking Ban, and expanding the powers of the federal government to mandate limits on carbon emissions via Cap and Trade.

With a “general revenue shortfall in the Arkansas state budget,” a desperate Govenor Huckabee stood before the state legislature and told them he’d found a way to meet Arkansas’ near $100 million shortfall:

"Again let me state what I’ve said privately, as well as publicly.  I want to get it on the record again.  There’s a lot of support for a tax at the wholesale level for tobacco and that’s fine with me.  I will very happily sign that because it’s a revenue stream that will meet the needs if enacted as a level that will help us to meet that 90 to $100 million target and that’s what I would begin to focus your attention on is the target.  Now, some of you have suggested the retail level of tobacco.  If that ends up being your preference, I will accept that.  Others have suggested a surcharge on the income tax.  That’s acceptable.  I’m fine with that.  Others have suggested, perhaps, a sales tax.  That’s fine.  Yet, others have suggested a hybrid that would collect some monies from any one or combination of those various ideas and if that’s the plan that the House and Senate agree on, then...you will have nothing but my profound thanks."

  

Hey Mike...  How 'bout cutting Gov't spending instead? 

VOTE NO: HUCKABEE FOR PRESIDENT!
