Mike Huckabee, who has joked about his lack of foreign policy experience, is criticizing the Bush administration's efforts, denouncing a go-it-alone "arrogant bunker mentality" and questioning decisions on Iraq.

Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor now running for the Republican presidential nomination, lays out a policy plan that is long on optimism but short on details in the January-February issue of the journal Foreign Affairs, which is published by the Council on Foreign Relations. A copy of his article was released Friday.

FAIR tax is an euphemism for "screw the lower middle class"(SLMS).
(Did I spell euphemism right?)

Huckabee's first foreign policy act as President would be to make the earth flat, just to prove that Christians had it right all along.

Osama doesn't like Bill Clinton. Would that mean Huckabee will let him remain free?

(I was going to say "go free", but Chimpy could never catch him.)

Ahmedinejad is a second cousin of Jesus. That's what the Mormons believe.

Huckabee will be able to talk to Taliban. They speak the same shit, just in different languages.

Bush is on his way out. huckabee knows he's within bounds of the Republican party to bitch about Bush in public at this time. He is making headway for the party. [for now anyway]. Huckabee is a fundamentalist Christian. I find it hard to find a difference between a fundamentalist Christian and a fundamentalist Muslem.

Too bad Huckabee is one of the myriad of wingnuts that enabled & praised that bunker mentality back when Bush's approval ratings where at a whooping 40%.

Maybe some 6 year old will call Huckabee on this piece of glaring hypocrisy when Huckabee is out pandering to the idiots.

Why aren't more people mentioning the fact that the FAIR tax is anything but? Sales taxes are regressive by nature: Lower income people have lower savings rates, meaning they spend more of their income (in many cases all of it) on purchases. So a person making $20,000 who is unable to save any money is paying 23% of their income in taxes. Meanwhile, someone making $80,000 and saving 20% of their income would only be paying 18.4% of their income in taxes. Move up to the hedge fund managers and private equity types who make hundreds of millions and save or reinvest the vast majority of that, and that percentage drops to absurdly low levels.

The FAIR tax is the ultimate way to shift the tax burden from wealth to work, and anyone advocating it is advocating an all out war against the working class.

The guy with the Gomer Pyle mentality criticizes his repukelican brethren's Archie Bunker mentality.

Somehow, this makes sense...

Did I mention that Huckabee is a hypocrite?

He ruled Arkansas with an iron fist, and did exactly what he wanted in extreme secrecy. And the night before he left office, he destroyed about a 100 hard drives in state computers, including the computer hard drive at the hanger where the state police jet is kept, with purloined state money.
