Huckabee says campaign laws aid McCain
By ANDREW DeMILLO, Associated Press Writer
32 minutes ago

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Friday said potential 2008 presidential rival John McCain's campaign finance reforms gives the Republican senator an advantage over other candidates by allowing him to transfer money easily.

"If you're a senator, you can take the money you raise in a Senate campaign and transfer it to a presidential, but you can't take money you raise in a state campaign and transfer that to a federal campaign," Huckabee, a Republican, told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.

"McCain was very smart in creating a system where he could take all of this Senate money that he had and turn it over to his presidential campaign to give him a distinct advantage over anyone else who ran," he said.

Huckabee, who leaves office in January due to term limits, is considering a run for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. McCain, from Arizona, announced this week that he was forming a presidential exploratory committee.

2. Mike, you're a total fucking embarrassment to Arkansas. STFU.
You still owe us all an apology for that "Banana Republic" shit on the Imus show. (We DID, legally and openly, ELECT your sorry, whining ass TWICE, you know.) You held us up to ridicule on the Tonight Show with that triple-wide trailer on the grounds of the Governor's Mansion. You spent public money on Velveeta, pantyhose for Jethrine and a doghouse and then had the GALL to complain when The Arkansas Times called you on it. You flit all over the country on a State Police airplane at taxpayers' expense and won't even tell us why you think that amounts to "national security."

AND NOW, you Loathsome Toad, you apparently are able to keep a straight face while you tell us (on PUBLIC RADIO) that it's "inappropriate" for the media to report on your "bridal registries" (note the plural, more than one) for "housewarming gifts" when you leave the Public Tit and move into your new mansion.

Mike, I am moving you ahead of Rush Limbaugh in the LONG line of People Who Need To Kiss My Ass. Boy, there ain't NOTHING "inappropriate" for the media to report--ESPECIALLY when YOU did it at the expense of Arkansas Taxpayers or while you still infest the Governor's Mansion! You're taking this Babdiss Preacher shit WAY too seriously.

You need to count your blessings and knock off the whining, Junior. You're starting to BELIEVE all that bullshit your handlers have been feeding you.

:puke:
