Mike ‘The Huckster’ Huckabee
The Huckster has no formal education nor experience suitable to prepare him for the presidency. According to one of his own aides his method of governance was merely putting out fires with no planning or forward thinking at all. The Arkansas republican leadership have quite alot to say about the Huckster, so much so, that two of them went to Iowa to warn the voters there about this con artist.
The Huckster's favorite confidence slogan, "The other candidates come to you but, I come from you." was well recieved by the uninformed and unwary but, as we all know every family has its black sheep and he is without question ours. He's like the cousin who never grasped the concept of right from wrong yet, went far out of his way to practice how to influence others where the following proof of this is undeniable;
Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR):
Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007 ( No. 6 is The Huckster )
Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints with 5 convictions and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down. http://www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007

Huckabee, Prosecutors Go On Offensive
http://www.arkansasleader.com/frontstories/st_06_23_04/huckabee.html
"...Until now, Huckabee has refused to comment on his controversial policy of making violent prisoners eligible for parole– they include murderers, armed robbers and rapists, who often return to a life of crime after they're freed – but in a statement to The Leader this week, he lashed out at prosecutors for not doing more to keep prisoners behind bars – to which Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley had this response: "That's a load of baloney." "I'm offended as a prosecutor and as a citizen. He can blame the prosecutors, but ultimately he's the man responsible," Jegley says. "He's the only one who can sign on the dotted line." "All he has to do is look in the mirror and say, 'I let (convicted rapist) Wayne DuMond go free who then killed at least once and probably twice.'" Jegley says the governor ignores the will of the people when he reduces a life sentence without parole that was handed down by a jury...." "..Jegley cites numerous examples of Huckabee's freeing felons who go on committing more crimes and wind up back in prison. Maurice Clemmons received a 35-year sentence in the early 1990s for armed robbery and theft. His sentence was commuted in May 2000, and he was let out three months later.
The following March, Clemmons committed two armed robberies and other crimes and was sentenced to 10 years. You'd think they'd keep him locked up after that, but no: He was paroled last March and is now wanted for aggravated robbery..."

Endorsement from a Liberal Elected Official: A Time To Embrace - “I can tell you that for a long time, I have felt the strongest Republican -certainly in Ohio -would be Mr. Huckabee. Early on, people were surprised that I would say that because he was not registering in the polls. But I know him, I’ve met him. He’s a very likable guy. He’s been a governor. A Baptist minister. But he’s the kind of combination of conservative views in some ways, but very, almost liberal views in other ways. He’s a very socially compassionate man who obviously has concern for the poor and the working middle class, while at the same time, having rather conservative views when it comes to a matter like abortion or gay marriage. ... I think of all the Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee would be my personal choice.”

A prominent national GOP insider tells Politics1 that he believes Morris—despite his claims to the contrary—is paid for his services through Huckabee media consultant Dick Dresner. According to the source, Morris purportedly gets piece of all Huckabee campaign polling revenues, media commissions and consulting fees through money paid to Dresner’s firm. Explaining the relationship, Huckabee told one GOP pollster: “I feel like I want to take a shower after I meet with him, but Morris is a smart guy and I need him.” http://www.politics1.com/blog-1207.htm
“It seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.
If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind.” — Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 1, 27 October 1787) Reference: Hamilton, Federalist No. 1.
