While he praises the "Reaganesque fiscal policy", does this Fund guy know that Reagan as the Governor of California raised taxes by 1 billion (10 Billion in todays currency value)
This is an extremely biased report. You can find similar things about every person running for President.
He is a fiscal conservative, or else he would never support the Fair Tax that takes away the taxes on productivity. If anythign the Fair tax seems to favor the rich a lot more.

John Fund is a left wing liberal himself why would any one put any merit on what this dweeb says about a republican. he is just a typical democrat spouting lies.
Mike Huckabee only raised taxes 5 times while he was governor and those were voted for by the people!
he decreased and cut taxes 94 times

John Fund has it completely wrong on this one.He makes a bunch of generalizations, without examining the issues in detail. Governors have to balance budgets and get things done - which is more than many in Washington, D.C. can ever hope to accomplish. Mike Huckabee lowered taxes 94 times, fixed roads and nursing home care.

Huckabee talks very ...( 8 months ago by joannareyburn)
Huckabee talks very openly on the Arkansas issues. I appreciate his willingness to look at the state's issues (ie. Arkansas need for road improvement - which anyone who's been to Arkansas knows well) as opposed to just following a parties' ideologies that don't benefit his voters. Reagan II won't work here. It's a different world than existed when he was president and asking, "What would Reagan do" won't suffice. We need a president who can look at the current scenario and judge accordingly.
We need a president ...( 7 months ago by cbrimmer)
We need a president who will remain consistent with conservative values. Huckabee is no conservative. He is a nanny-stater on health; he is liberal on illegal immigration. President Bush is a "good guy," but he isn't conservative either. Mike Huckabee would simply give us more government.
More importantly, ...( 7 months ago by cbrimmer)
More importantly, it is very unwise to elect an ordained minister as POTUS. Huckabee's motives would always be suspect and the obstructionists in Congress would have a field day. Remember that Thomas Jefferson's words about separation of church & state had to do with his irritation with the struggle for power between the various Christian denominations.

You say he lowered taxes 94 times. However, you don't mention the times he raised it which, John Fund says, he did way more times than he lowered. You don't mention that he supported 5 tax increases prompting the Club for Growth to label him a liberal. He signed bills raising taxes on gasoline in 1999, a $5.25 bed-tax on private nursing home patients in 2001, and publicly opposed the repeal of a sales tax on groceries and medicine in 2002.

Huckabee, realizing ...( 7 months ago by chissykim)
Huckabee, realizing that his super soft record on illegal immigration was going to ruin his presidential aspirations, has just come out with a new "get tough" immigration enforcement plan - which gives all illegals 120 days to register and leave the country or face a 10 year ban on entering the U.S.
The question is - will those who register and leave be able to (almost immediately) return to the U.S. legally? If so - this is nothing more than the Kennedy-McCain plan in new dress.
