Mike Huckabee for President.....
Uploaded by: WealthTraining
Video Description:
Mike Huckabee is a hypocrite. He talks about being the true "Christian Leader" who is above the horizontal-finger pointing politics, above the left-right, right-left, democrat-republican, republican-democrat, blame game.
I beg to differ.
The fact is, Mike Huckabee is on the defense and wants to take the attention off of his liberal record as the governor of Arkansas.

John McCain (R-Ariz.) in declaring his opposition to the interrogation procedure known as "waterboarding," and said he would support closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and moving the Guantanamo prisoners to the military's only maximum-security prison, Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. This move would grant habeas corpus rights to "enemy combatants." (Source: Washington Post, Huckabee Chafes at 'Front-Runner' Label, Perry Bacon Jr. 12/4/07)

I would like to add a prediction, if I may. If Huckabee is on the Republican ticket - President or Vice President - Watch as Utah (reddest state in the nation) votes Democratic. Mike Huckabee won in Iowa because he was the non-Mormon candidate.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Huckabee is dangerous and would destroy the Republican party as we've known it to be....
As a believer I urge others to look into voting for Ron Paul as he is the only consitutionalist running and he is indeed a man of great faith, but doesn't use his faith to buy votes. RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!
People who love money above all else, and the tax code that they use to get more of it, hate Huckabee's Fair Tax reform and try to smear him on irrelevant things.
These were Clinton Democrats and if they could've gotten anything on Huck they would have. But they didn't.
america listen to the world
the best president for you are Barak Obama
