Arkansas "Banana Republic" Gov. Huckster on Faux now |
|
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 05:33 PM by Hog lover
For all those unfamiliar with him, he is the most corrupt politician in Arkansas for as long as I have been here, bar none. Baptist preacher, slime-ball.
I have been told by reliable sources he keeps a list of his donors in his desk (by now in an assistant's desk) and refers to it before responding to any inquiry or request. Whether you are a donor or not determines the answer you get.
He is angling for a position in a second Bush admin because he is term-limited.
on edit: Real name: Mike Huckabee, aka the "Rev-Gov", called Arkansas a Banana Republic on national TV (during his own term).

1. He's hated because of the school consolidation debacle |
|
He's raised sales taxes and caused many services to charge sales tax for the first time. But the worst is his requirement to consolodate schools. Up here in the mountains, people are mad-so mad that the Dems are making headway by reminding voters that Huckabee's Repuke Admin. is taking away their local schools.

3. His calculation was prob that he would get a Bushco position. |
|
And maybe he didn't think he could beat her (but we have enough stupid people here that he might have).

4. Blanche's organization is formidable. That's why the gop ... |

did not pour much money into the rubes running against Blanche or Vic. They feared the oranization with coattails that an fully engaged Lincoln or Snyder would bring to bear in the Prez race.
