Mike Huckabee

NEA largest anti-home schooling group in USA endorses Huckabee!   You Question?

Does not appear to have Theology degree as he claimed before CBN and CNN

He raised taxes 47% for roads, schools, children’s healthcare (Tax and Spend record)    He advocated AR as a sanctuary state and protected Tyson, Wal-Mart during ICE raids

CFR President Richard Haas is his 'foreign policy advisor.'  CFR policy replaces our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Huckabee responded: “Well, I have a number of people from whom I get policy.  He is listed on the CFR webpage indicating he has CFR approval.  His speech to Center for Strategic and Intl Studies mirrors Bush Policies. 

He was keynote speaker and  promoted ‘open door’ policy at LULAC convention June, 2005 stating  ‘Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity “in culture, in language and in population”….’and make sure our economy has the necessary work force.”   LULAC thanked Huckabee for ‘standing with them’

His career has14 ethics complaints: one failure to declare all income; and questions of his integrity from management of campaign cash of a non-profit organization to subsidize his income;  destruction of his Governor state computer files.   He never cooperated with Ethics Commission but did attempt to shut down all investigations into his violation.  

Recommended more than 1,000 prison pardons and commutations  – most infamous Wayne DuMond raped/killed a Missouri woman after Huckabee supported his release. 

Arkansas knows him as a thin skinned liberal, a high-tax, protectionist, big-government advocate of a strong hand who never ordered State police to stop illegal aliens. 

He defied the U.S. and AR Constitution and pushed with Mexico for a $1.2 million Consulate Little Rock office resulting in criminal organizations like Acambaro Restaurant Chain to operate in AR with money laundering

He told AR Legislators ‘that to deny Illegals benefits would be un-christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.  He denounced all bills attempting to stop illegals from voting and getting benefits as “It would rile up those who are racist and bigots.”   He said ‘large companies would not come to AR if ALL citizens were not allowed to vote.’   He advocated (2005) the tuition benefits, pell grants and scholarships, prenatal care, welfare for illegals by taxpayers and deceitfully lobbied for amnesty bill. 

Campaigning he views the pathway to legality as taking ‘days’ not years.   They go home, then come back to join the workforce (like McCain-Kennedy bill)He believes illegals should earn citizenship – not deportations.

Arkansas Taxes Up $642 Million Under Huckabee, Report Shows
In November, Huckabee repeatedly defended his record, calling himself a "fiscal conservative" and pointing out that he had cut taxes 90 times as governor.
But according to data compiled for Cybercast News Service by Stephen Slivinski, director of budget studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, the tax hikes Huckabee supported between 1997 and 2007 were far heftier than his tax cuts. (Slivinski compiled his report from tax records available at the bi-partisan National Conference of State Legislatures.)

The numbers show that taxes increased at an average of $15 per person per fiscal year during Huckabee's tenure (1996-2007). The net tax cuts supported by Huckabee from fiscal years 1997 to 2007 totaled $222 million, while net tax increases supported or unopposed by Huckabee totaled $864 million.

The net increase in taxes supported by Huckabee, therefore, equaled $642 million. With a population slightly declining - from 2.7 million in 1997 to 2.5 million in 2007 - net taxes collected in Arkansas rose by more than $3 billion during Huckabee's gubernatorial tenure.

.NOTE:   A Liberal Politician translates that a Christian  heart for the poor should mandate massive wealth redistribution, as if state-coerced transfers of other people’s money are acts of Christian compassion.   There is nothing compassionate about sapping the human spirit to the detriment of all.     His ‘compassion’ for the poor defines government programs as the solution to poverty rather than charitable organizations, churches, and free markets to help those in need.         His webpage spouts different views NOW!
