Why a leading tea party group just slammed Mike Huckabee

"...“In a year in which GOP voters appear likely to have several good pro-economic growth candidates to choose from, Mike Huckabee’s big government record would stand out from the crowd, and not in a good way,"..."

"....the Club for Growth has already staked out a firm position against him and vows to continue pressing him on his conservative bona fides if he formally enters the race...."

"...the Club for Growth PAC will make sure that Republican primary voters thoroughly examine his exceptionally poor record of raising taxes and spending as governor,” ...."

(...but there IS a longstanding feud going on here between Huckabee and the Club...)

 

Of course you don't.

Yeah, right, that's what all those POTUS's and wannabes are doing there, they're only tourists.

 

Reality Check on Huckabee

"...Huck’s bizarre fondness for extravagant executive clemency...a woman says that her pregnant daughter was murdered by a man named Wayne DuMond, an already-convicted rapist-murderer who had been released from prison on Huckabee’s watch."

"...Huck responded: “The only action I had in the case of Wayne DuMond was to deny clemency. He was commuted by Jim Guy Tucker, my predecessor. . . . [and] Bill Clinton approved that. . . . [Again,] the action that I took in the case was actually to deny a commutation.” Huckabee is about as accurate in this account as the little boy who insisted he didn’t steal the cookie from the cookie jar; it was just his hand that had done it...."

"...It is a matter of public record that Huckabee repeatedly advocated releasing DuMond from prison. Yes, he denied official executive clemency — but only after the state parole board had granted parole...."

"...Several parole-board members told reporters, on the record, that Huckabee both personally and through his aides and appointees had pressured them to grant DuMond’s release. Before then-governor Huckabee appeared in front of the board, it had voted 4 to 1 against parole; after his appearance, the board switched to 4 to 1 in favor of release."

"...the whole mess was par for Huck’s course. The AP has reported that Huckabee “had a hand in twice as many pardons and commutations as his three predecessors combined.” With those high numbers — 1,033 by the AP’s count, 1,058 according to the Arkansas secretary of state — there have of course been recidivists. Some, such as DuMond, were deadly. Apart from DuMond, the most notorious was Maurice Clemmons, who in 2009 murdered four police officers in Washington State. Huckabee had commuted his sentence nine years earlier “over the protests of prosecutors.”

"...Huckabee’s strange sympathy for hardened criminals makes him even more anathema to “law and order” conservatives than he is to supply-siders such as the Club for Growth, which again this month (as it did in 2007 and 2008) virtually declared war against his candidacy because of what it calls his “big-government record” of tax hikes and spending increases...."

"...Huckabee also had a long, long record of ethical scrapes (some of which bordered on the kinds of activities for which former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell was just convicted). Further, as our colleague John Fund reported that same autumn, Huckabee wasn’t exactly known as a good manager or team player, either. As the incomparable Phyllis Schlafly told Fund then, “He destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas and left the Republican party a shambles.”..."

"...His image would never stand up to the blitzkrieg the Democratic attack machine would unleash if he were the nominee — in part because so many of the attacks against him would be rooted in reality...."

 

Precisely..... thank you.

The Dispie's unnatural and non-Biblical elevation and adoration of Israel after the flesh is in fact nothing short of idolatry.

 

I know you're not much on providing sources, but can you cite me even once where I've ever done this?

 

CMG, Zaac and PT has already pointed out to you what's wrong with it.

 

You tell me:
