I have been fully behind Fred Thompson for president, because he seemed the most viable and pretty much stood for everything I believed in. Then I started hearing more spin from the Huckabee side and considered him. Huckabee really started taking off last month, man I thought Huckabee might be a better choice than Thompson. But the more your in the limelight the more scruntity descends on you and that is what is happening to Huckabee.
Huckabee’s tenure as Governor of Arkansas is not very impressive. It really bothered me about him pushing for the children of Illegal Immigrants to receive free or lower rates for entry into college, and at the last GOP debate he said in good concious he could not change his mind on that “I can’t blame the children because their parents are Illegal” thats ok, don’t blame them, but don’t give them special treatment either. This bothers me a lot.
Huckabee released his immigration policy today and guess what it looks pretty similar to Fred Thompsons, he released his in October.
I’m a death penalty advocate and it really bothered me to learn that while Gov. of Arkansas, Huckabee commutated or pardoned more that 703 people (only 1 death penalty) thats more than his 6 surrounding neighbors combined.
It makes me wonder if old Mike might just be to sympathetic toward Illegals and to soft on Law Enforcement.
Like I said as a candidate becomes more prominent in the race the more scruntity they will receive and more revealed about them.
I want a President that will protect American borders and Citzens………….Fred Thompson is back to being my “Main Man”
