Huckabee: Let Children of Illegals Compete For US Scholarships

It sort of sounds like he'd support in-state tuition for illegals, too, though he does not say that. But that's where the logic leads, doesn't it?

Okay, I've just about had it with the Huckabee Balloon. Apart from his religion, what precisely makes this man a worthy Republican standard-bearer? I'm not very pleased about crap like this:

I criticized Huckabee, when he was governor of Arkansas, for refusing to sign a bill that described natural disasters like tornadoes and floods as "acts of God." He said signing the legislation would have violated his conscience.

Give me a break.

The liberals love him, because they see him as the agent as the divorce between economic conservatives and social conservatives -- If Kansas finally embraces a neopopulist semi-liberal preacher, they think, they won't have to ask "What's the matter with Kansas anymore?" People will finally be voting according to their economic interests, supposedly.

"We called him a pro-life, pro-gun liberal, when I was in the state legislature and he was governor," said Randy Minton, chairman of the Arkansas chapter of Phyllis Schlafly's national Eagle Forum.

Mr. Minton voices the concerns of many conservatives that while Mr. Huckabee governed as a social conservative in opposing abortion and same-sex "marriage," he was a treacherous liberal on taxes, social welfare spending and illegal immigration.

As a national security conservative and law and order conservative, I'm not thrilled by him either.

I've got to say, I agree with Naomi Watts:

Nice guy. Soft spoken, tells a nice joke. Lost a lot of weight. I know a few people like that. I'm not voting for them to be President either.
