He was my governor and I don't like him at all. I gave him the nickname "Governor Busybody" on a local talk show that I call into and the host started using the name as well. Just because he lost lots and lots of weight he wants to badger everyone else on the subject of health.
On more substantive issues, he is soft on illegal immigration(even wanted to give Arkansas taxpayer money to the children of illegal aliens to attend college), and the Wayne Dumond situation was his Michael Dukakis moment.
KenH:
You and I agree on most every point about illegal immigration, but, lately I been thinkin' about those two young men who are illegal immigrants because of their parents, who brought them here illegally.
I mean, they grew up as American as any natural born child. They think American, they talk American, and so on, and they are very intelligent.
Now, I'm not saying let them stay, much as my heart goes out to them and all, but, if they could go home to their home countries, learn to assimilate again or adapt again, they can be assets to their countries and we certainly have real friends there.
Now, as for Huckabee's proposal or thinking to send children of illegal aliens to College at taxpayer expense I think there's something worth looking into it.
These illegal parents come from countries which are corrupt, unstable, and sometimes hostile to the US.
If we can send US-educated citizens of these countries back home, in due time, as generations come, we have countries whose base citizenship have a deep tie and sympathy with the US, and we didn't have to send our men and women to die in their country just so they can have democracy as we are doing in Iran now.
Just musing.
Do you remember what Huckabee's rationale was ?
