I think we should support Huckabee, but we will only do so if a majority of JTFers agree.
*Huckabee is the only potential candidate for President who says that he opposes any Israeli surrender of Jewish land in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
*Huckabee has said that he supports Jewish building and Jewish settlement of Judea and Samaria. On a trip to Israel last year, Huckabee praised the Jewish hilltop communities.
*Huckabee promised in 2008 to launch an emergency program to end U.S. dependence on all foreign oil within 10 years.
*Huckabee is solidly pro-life.
*Huckabee opposes the "gay" agenda.
*Huckabee opposes the Ground Zero Muslim Nazi victory mosque.
*Huckabee is a lifelong NRA member, owns many firearms, and has been a hunter since his childhood.
*In 2008, Huckabee opposed removing Confederate symbols from the flag of South Carolina.
*In 2008, Huckabee claimed that he now supports the platform of the Minutemen on immigration (which is excellent). However, Huckabee was not good on immigration when he was Governor of Arkansas.
*In 2008, Huckabee proposed eliminating the entire national income tax and replacing it with a national sales tax (which would be great). However, when he was Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee raised taxes. Ronald Reagan also raised taxes when he was Governor of California, but later became a tax cutter.
*As Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee freed convicted murderers and criminals who claimed to have changed after becoming believing Christians. Some of these creatures committed other terrible crimes after their release.
So as you see, there are problems with Huckabee. But overall, I believe he is the best of the bunch.
