Most expected that Republicans candidates would focus their efforts on issues like national defense, foreign policy, and general executive competency. However, Mike Huckabee has shifted the issues to religion, character and personality (and humour). First off, religion should not be an issue whatsoever, since it is unconstitutional. But even if was a main issue, is Mike Huckabee the man of religious character that he claims to be or is he just a hypocrite in angel’s clothing? With his lead in Iowa, the public has done some research on the man and found out that he’s not all he’s cracked up to be. Here is a list of reasons that Huckabee is not such an angel.
1) Mike Huckabee, a recent Baptist minister told the NY times that he didn’t know much about Mormons, but then proceeded to spout off a few facts that he thought would leak poison into Romney’s campaign. This shows A LOT about good ol’ Huck’s character (aka, the character of a manipulative weasel). If a former Baptist minister claims to know so little about Mormonism, he is ABSOLUTELY full of BS. The author of Article VI blog said this about the matter, after Huck apologized for his inappropriate behaviour:
“Will that put Huckabee’s anti-Mormon genie back in its bottle. I don’t think so. “That which is said while drunk has been thought out beforehand,” goes the old saying. In the modern media world, candidates for the presidency don’t say careless things to the New York Times. It was a premeditated aside, an attempt to get a virus into circulation. It didn’t work, but it did tell us a lot about Mike Huckabee.”

2) Huckabee showed his lack of ethics when he took $40,000 from a large tobacco company, and put it into his own non-profit organization. But hey, he deserved the bonus, especially after he levied a tax on sick people instead of taxing the tobacco industry (which is extremely ironic I might add). It’s funny that Huckabee loves to raise taxes on hard-working Americans, but always takes a nice chunk for himself.

3) Huckabee is know nationally as being “an illegal alien’s best friend!” He supported in-state tuition for illegal aliens in Arkansas, even though the voters opposed it 4-to-1 (very totalitarian of him). Resultantly, American taxpayers had to subsidize schooling for illegal immigrants, who took up limited seats in colleges that Americans could have had. This is just one of MANY examples of Huck’s love for illegal aliens, or at least the ones that were able to slip past Chuck Norris and his roundhouse kicks to get into America! Read a lot more at:

4) He has no back-bone when it comes to dealing with hardened criminals. Well, I guess I should be fair. He did ONLY pardon 1,033 criminal, including 12 murderers. I mean that’s only 1 every 4 days. I just had a thought .... maybe he’s doing so well in the polls because all the criminals are voting for him. Dang, that Huck’s got some good strategy! Go kill someone and Huck will give you a "get out of jail free card"!
5) He would have segregated people with AIDS, exiling them to an island (like Napoleon!) Hey, I don’t know much about the Bible, but didn’t Jesus go visit the sick, like the lepers, who were cast out by the Jews? Doesn’t sound very Christ-like to me. But hey, Mike was a minister, so that’s good right?
6) Thou shalt not bear false witness. Hey, isn’t that one of the ten commandments? (again, I don’t know much about the Bible, but….)
“In recent weeks we learned that four parole board members all said Huck exerted tremendous pressure to release his born again buddy DuMond; Huck’s reply? That all four are lying. “In the mouth of two witness . . .”

These are just a few examples of Huck’s hypocrisy. Nobody is perfect, I know. But when you purposely change the issues at stake from those that Americans really care about to religion, character, and personality (simply to lift yourself in the polls), you are inviting people to examine you on those issues. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many, Huck fails the very character test of which he is the largest proponent. I think that Mike Huckabee must think that irony has something to do with taking the wrinkles out of clothes on a stiff board with a hot metal instrument.
