Another Reason Why The GOP Is in Trouble...

Mike Huckabee.....

On Tuesday, that book will arrive on store shelves, and in terms of payback, it will not disappoint. At once a memoir of his campaign, a treatise on the ills of the Republican Party and a blueprint for his own political future, Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That's Bringing Common Sense Back to America is filled with sharp words for his fellow Republicans who frustrated his bid for the party's nomination.

I'm all for bringing common sense back into the process. Heaven knows there is a certain lack of it in politics as a whole. However, the former Governor from Arkansas is HARDLY the one to bring that about...

In a chapter titled "Faux-Cons: Worse than Liberalism," Huckabee identifies what he calls the "real threat" to the Republican Party: "libertarianism masked as conservatism." He is not so much concerned with the libertarian candidate Ron Paul's Republican supporters as he is with a strain of mainstream fiscal-conservative thought that demands ideological purity, seeing any tax increase as apostasy and leaving little room for government-driven solutions to people's problems. "

Emphasis mine. Since when did "government driven solutions to peoples problems" become a CONSERVATE trait Governor????? If anyone is the "Faux-Con", Governor, it is you and not former Senator Thompson or former Governor Romney (two former rivals that Gov. Huckabee aimed his sights at).

Please, Governor, for the sake of the party go back to Arkansas where your "faux" conservative/populism sells. The rest of us are not buying it.
