Portrays him as a governor who betrayed the right with big spending, closed small town schools he saw unnecessary, ignored any and all criticism, pardoned crack dealers and rapists or any other inmate who found Jesus, and took over $100,000 in a year in gifts.

:D

Man! I thought Ron's fascist remark was a bit harsh!

I guess he was on the money though...

He wasn't calling Huckabee a fascist. He was just making a general remark. He talks about it here:

This is probably a dumb question, but --

I see this Huckabee story is on the front page of the NYT online, but is it also on the front page of the hard copy of the New York Times?

As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee raised taxes more than Bill Clinton himself.

And like Bill Clinton, former governor Mike Huckabee even has his own rape scandal.

America can not afford another governor of Arkansas as President.

You're right, there's quite a resemblance.

Edit: Pretty good article, too, except for the very end where the writer claims "he won't win" and alludes to RP's foreign policy as possibly dangerous.

I didn't like it that much. They also made sure to say he was an isolationist.

Show me another candidate with "patience, plain speaking and stubborn integrity" and I'd say they make a good point. Ron Paul is a miracle. Look what happened when Americans elected Ronald Reagan instead of Ronald Ernest Paul. You rarely get second chances in life. Screw the National Post.

Against the political advice of his party and his aides, he pardoned or commuted the sentences of hundreds of convicts, including murderers, sometimes over the heated objections of prosecutors and victims’ families. He was cited five times by the state ethics commission for financial improprieties, and unapologetically accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothes and other gifts while he was governor.

OWNED.
