The 10 Best Moments in Mike Huckabee's Extremism

There are some similarities, but at least Huckabee appears to have some genuine compassion while Bush has repeatedly demonstrated that his campaign promise to be a compassionate conservative was a fraud from the beginning. GW Bush's policies have primarily favored the wealthy and corporate interests.

While at this point Huckabee might be slightly better than Bush, the country needs a dramatic shift from Bush.

Huckabee just hasn't had time to show that his compassion is a fraud.

He talks about his humble beginnings and being outspent yet he never talks about his personal wealth, the fact that he makes mid six figures on the speaking circuit. He started a PAC to offset his income in Arkansas. Sure he donates some of his speaking monies but that is just good business when you get so much.

His speaking engagements generally are backed by corporate interests whose purposes are contrary to what he says he believes.

He says what he needs to to get what he wants and will say the opposite in the next sentence if it will get him more.

I wonder if the God the delusional Huckabee was talking to owns a hacked iPhone. Shame on him if he does :)

I think the God he was talking to was Dick Cheney.

This is the social Internet, and it's 'run' by Atheists. As far as the Internet is concerned if you have any beliefs that involve a God then you can just @!$%# off. Gotta love 'new media', haven't you?

The problem is that religious beliefs have no place in government and he runs for public office on a religious platform that very near to 100% driven by religious dogma. That is why he is a frightening candidate for president, especially because he allows his religious beliefs cause him to act out in a bigoted manner. The leader of a nation cannot and should not be bigoted against a significant portion of his own populace. These intrusions of religiosity must stop or we are doomed to a dire fate at the hands of extremist beliefs.

I take no issue with people having their own beliefs, but people like Huckabee wish to affect their religious ideologies on the way in which we govern our nation. As I already stated, this practice has no place in our government which is purely secular in nature. The argument that this is a Christian nation is a logical fallacy.

And replace it with a sales tax. That is a bad thing.

Ron Paul wants to abolish the IRS, cut spending and replace it with nothing. That is a very good thing.

If you totally ignore the actual consequences it would on the surface appear good. Of course the fact it that the federal government does a lot of good things as much as some political zealots pretend otherwise.
According to Ron Paul:

True tax reform is as simple as cutting or eliminating taxes.

Wrong again Ron Paul. Its really not that simple. If it were then the George W. Bush approach would work fine. In reality such simplistic thinking that reducing taxes is always good has led to huge deficits and mortgaging the future.
Its really not that simple and no informed people should be so naive.

I think you missed the whole cut spending part. If you do not do that first, then it would be impossible.

It is very possible to cut taxes without cutting spending. In fact its easy. It also easy to talk about spending cuts and lot harder to enact them.

The fact is that cutting taxes is not the only way to engage in tax reform. Its patently obvious yet people like Ron Paul use demagoguery to pretend otherwise.
