Historically, we are distrustful of mixing religion and politics. This is not so much that we all read the Constitution on a daily basis; rather, we don't want anybody's preacher in the Governor's Mansion except
our own.Huckabee is a WHINER. Even with the vicious yellow rag known as the
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette firmly behind him, let something be pointed out about his record or his actions, and the first thing he does is WHINE--about the media, the Liberal Conspiracy, the whatEVER.
He GORGES at the public trough. The Governor's Mansion Fund is intended for the upkeep and operation of the Governor's Mansion. Yet Huckabee saw nothing wrong with using Mansion funds to buy pizzas, pantyhose, doghouses, Velveeta and the like. This is just one example; there are many others.
He blatantly used a State Police aircraft for campaign trips and had the gall to tell us he wouldn't talk about it for "security reasons."
He embarasses us in the national media--as if we need any help in that department! His little one-liners about losing weight at a "Democrat concentration camp" and "putting Hillary on a rocket to Mars" and people sitting in a bathtub with razor blades ain't so much funny as they are MEAN.
This may seem like a small thing, but it
rankles Arkies: he called the state a "banana republic" on the Imus show
and saw no need to apologize to us about it. Last time I looked, we actually ELECTED his sorry ass TWICE.
He's a hypocrite, and we do NOT like that. More's the pity because he was kinda sorta OKAY until he started listening to his handlers early in his first goobernatorial term. Poke around the Arkansas Times website for more of his shenanigans. Look especially for Bob Lancaster's columns about the "Bro-Gov;" they are hilarious!
Hillary and Bill will open him up like a boiled peanut should he be the Republic nominee.
