Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee thinks he should have your vote...
He rides a personal Jet to all of his conventions and debates that belongs to the owner of "The Lord's Ranch" in Warm Springs AK...
But the Ranch, which is funded through Medicaid is not actually doing anything nice for the sick and suffering but rather just draining your tax dollars for unknown purposes.
It seems, for example, impossible to find out how the Lord's Ranch went from receiving $140,000 a year to care for troubled youth to collecting $8.5 million in 2005. The operators of the Ranch simply refuse to let inspectors onto the premises.

Well, in the first place, AK is not the abbreviation for Arkansas. You had me confused. Anyway, I wouldn't doubt something fishy. That wouldn't keep me from voting for him, but his stance on Illegal immigration, no matter what he is saying now will. I know what kind of things went on here when he was Governor.

Before Huck moved up in the pack to first or second, depending on poll, nobody seemed to care about this stuff. Now look at them. Who is next to be exposed? Even the holier than thou aren't really anything more than hypocrites.

I don't trust anyone who says he wants money for the "lord." Usually someone who wants money for the lord/god/Jaysus wants it to finance a luxurious lifestyle. Didn't all the televangelists living in luxury scandals teach anyone anything? Don't trust a clergyman asking for money.

More Republican hypocracy in action.
Al Gore using a private jet (which he pays for himself) is wrong, but Huckabee using one on taxpayers' money is ok with them. And not just Huckabee. Remember John Sununu? He was governor of NH for a time, then worked for Bush Elder in Washington and used to take government planes to ALL his private business meetings, for haircuts, for lobbying meetings, etc. It has been estimated Sununu cost this country somewhere around $16 million total for all his unauthorized flights. Should we expect a check anytime soon?
Bill Clinton having an affair with a consenting female is outrageous and intolerable, but Republicans flying to meet and have sex with 5 year old girls raises not one eyebrow in the Republican camp.

Just another example of why Republicans cannot be trusted to run anything more complex than their mouths.
Since they refuse to let inspectors in, will President Bush declare war on them? They COULD be building a nuclear bomb, we have NO WAY OF KNOWING!

There's alot to Huckabee that's just coming out.
I suggest people read about his record as governor. He personally advocated to have an accused rapist released. The guy later went on to kill somebody.

I have trouble voting for the clergy (or ex-clergy). Something about someone who's going to base his decisions on what the invisible man who lives in the sky wants him to do...
