This is a collaborative effort. Feel free to add on to the list... Enjoy :p
++ Huckabee seems to love loot and has a dismissive attitude toward ethics, campaign finance rules and propriety in general.
++ He converted a governor's mansion operating account into a personal expense account, claiming public money for a doghouse, dry-cleaning bills, panty hose and meals at Taco Bell.
++ He is kind to immigrants and favors state help for college-going children of illegal immigrants.
++ He briefly departed from Republican dogma to suggest to a newspaper in libertarian New Hampshire that, while he opposed gay marriage, he was open to civil unions.
++ What about the retarded Fort Smith teenager, raped by her stepfather, who sought Medicaid funding for an abortion as federal law required. Huckabee stood in the hospital door, at least figuratively, to prevent state funding.
++ Huckabee's administration worked hard and unapologetically to prevent gay people from being foster parents
++ Huckabee doesn't support embryonic stem cell research, he took a hefty honorarium and bulk book sales this year from a diabetes drug maker, Novo Nordisk, which performs embryonic stem cell research.
++ He destroyed state records and computer data systems.
++ He has lied when there's been no other way around admitting embarrassing missteps, such as his advocacy of freedom for a convicted rapist.
++ Huckabee signed a gas tax hike in 1999
++ He called for a state sales tax hike in 2002
++ He signed a 25-cent cigarette tax hike in 2003
++ He publicly opposed the repeal of a sales tax on groceries and medicine in 2002
++ He increased state spending 65.3% from 1996 to 2004
++ He allowed a major tax hike package to pass in 2004
++ He received a "D" grade on fiscal issues from the Cato Institute in 2004
++ He called No Child Left Behind the greatest education reform effort by the federal government "in my lifetime."
++ He has actively gone after so-called "price gougers"
++ He is a member of the CFR and recently gave a speech in September
Not only Club for Growth has some pretty damning evidence about this guys fiscal and ethics record, you should also check out these links...He's a "Clintonian" as they come...
