A Plea from Arkansas: Christian Conservatives Need to Take a Closer Look at Mike Huckabee's Record as Governor

Hugh Hewitt just posted a letter against Mike Huckabee written by a very staunch and active Republican in Arkansas, who is also a born-again Christian, David Thompson

The story is here

I'm not going to repost the whole letter, please visit Hugh Hewitt's site and read it, it is worth your time.

Here are the main points the gentlemen points out

1) Governor Huckabee did lasting damage to the Republican Party and conservative movement in Arkansas.

2) Governor Huckabee's non-stop clemencies continually hindered the work of criminal prosecutors and miffed Republicans.

3) Governor Huckabee's pattern was to ignore immigration laws, often in the name of Christianity.

4) Governor Huckabee was no friend to fiscal conservatives in Arkansas.

5) Huckabee left a long trail of ethics questions while Governor of Arkansas.

6) Huckabee's education record shows him to be an advocate of the "status quo".

7) Huckabee has very little support for his Presidential bid here in Arkansas.


Given the many vulnerabilities in his record, what is the likelihood that Huckabee would win in a general election? Democrat National Committee officials have already been quoted as saying that they see Huckabee as "easy kill" and refer to him as "the glass jaw -- and they're just waiting to break it." The DNC has issued over 200 attack press releases on Republican candidates - only 4 on Huckabee, the last one coming 10 months ago.

This is good stuff. Again please read the full story located here.
