His politics were the primary reason why I could not support Huckabee; he openly pandered to La Raza, which gives signs of being a Latino supremacist group.<BR/><BR/>His anti-Mormonism was merely the icing on the cake. But if Huckabee wants to mend fences with us and work with us on social issues, I think he deserves the opportunity to prove he has modified his views on Mormons. Besides, it will be easier for us to get forgiven our sins if we will be quicker to forgive others' sins.Jack Mormonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671278467022843855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568072161793472490.post-4931131056610404502009-01-10T10:29:00.000-09:002009-01-10T10:29:00.000-09:00Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican go...Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes. The Arkansas Leader.com editorialized that Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.<BR/><BR/>The National Education Association endorses any candidate who raises taxes and opposes school choice – thus they endorse Mike Huckabee.<BR/><BR/>Huckabee “broadly repudiates core Republican policies such as free trade, low taxes, the essential legitimacy of America’s corporate entities and the market system allocating wealth and opportunity,” according to George Will.<BR/><BR/> The Arkansas Ethics Commission held proceedings 20 times on the former governor. During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary of state's office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as governor but was not required to report their value.) <BR/><BR/><BR/>Two months after taking office, Huckabee stunned the state by saying he questioned rapist Wayne DuMond's guilt and that it was his intention to free the rapist, DuMond murdered a women in Illinois after Huckabee set him free <BR/><BR/> Huckabee battled conservatives within his own party who were pushing for stricter state-level immigration measures, such as:. <BR/> - proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren’t federally mandated <BR/>- proof of citizenship when registering to vote<BR/>- Huckabee failed in his effort to make children of illegal immigrants eligible for state-funded scholarships and in-state tuition to Arkansas colleges. <BR/><BR/>He joined the Democratic chorus in indicting President Bush for his "arrogant bunker mentality." Is he in the right party?<BR/><BR/>Huck’s use of the “Christian Leader” title and the Cross in his ads and his attempt to denigrate Mitt Romney’s religion is a thinly-veiled attempt to impose a religious test in violation of Article Six of the Constitution<BR/><BR/>The Huckster was the keynote speaker at an anti-Mormon conference in Salt Lake City. And he knows nothing about Mormons? And the "Christian Leader" doesn't want to release his sermons?<BR/><BR/>He led the Arkansas Baptists liberal congregations in a dispute with the conservative Southern Baptist Conference.Bothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757658749743484881noreply@blogger.com
