destroys 100 computer hard drives blocks investigation of sons hanging and slitting dogs throat
with a friend,
steals $70,000 worth of state furniture from the governors mansion and wife says "it must be there somewhere",
releases a violent, murderous felon who went on to kill two more women,
uses state airplanes as personal transportation, sets up own non-profit to profit himself,
eats squirrels cooked in a pop corn popper,
has a vindictive thin skinned anger,
doesn't believe in evolution,
won't say if women should be preachers,
believes a wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ,
believes Adam and Eve were real people,
and no one is better at saying one thing,.... doing the opposite.... and getting credit for both: of talking small government and actually promoting big government lol........,
made a conscious attempt to keep state police from investigating the dog killing by his son David,
set up bridal registries at Dillard's and Target for themselves....... having already been married for more than 30yrs,........ they registered for $7000 in housewares and $1000 in gift cards in this way, because state ethics laws prohibited people from receiving gifts of more than $100 as a reward for doing their job, but there was an exception for wedding presents,....
used state funds for upkeep of the mansion on panty hose, barbecues, a dog house, dry cleaning, boat fuel, and alterations to clothes, settled out of court by agreeing that legal doubts existed over use of the funds.......
So, I start reading about this seemingly likable, alleged Christian, and start to realize that they are anything but.
Once Huckabee started to engage in his desire to become President of the United States, he started to hide more of the bodies.
One of the first things that this Presidential hopeful made sure of doing before he left government, was the destruction of the hard drives of 100 computers with "god" knows what on them, that they were successfully trying to hide. This criminal action, forced the new governor to find and spend $335,000 just to replace the hard drives and computers destroyed, leaving not a penny in the emergency fund designed to pay for extra expenses during tornadoes, hurricanes and other needs during the last six months of the fiscal year. This alone tells me this person cannot be trusted. Why would anyone destroy these computers and hard drives, other than to hide "evil" or unlawful conduct?
Huckabee also got a rapist released from prison, who then raped and killed two more women, even after several victims begged this person during that time not to, and shared their horrifying stories and fears, this person ignored their pleas to not release this violent, murderous, felon, and went to the Arkansas Parole board and secured the release. This same Parole board had recently declined parole for the felon (Wayne Dumond) but a preacher friend of this person, who ministered to Dumond in prison, shared his belief with this person, that Dumond had been "born-again". This person (idiot) felt and argued that the rapist was innocent, or at least got a "raw deal". "He'd been born on the wrong side of the tracks and hadn't been treated all that fairly." This person even wrote a letter to the rapist (Dumond), saying, "My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place." This person commuted or pardoned over 669 prisoners, including 12 murderers during their time in office. Should this person be considered to sit in the oval office?
His son David and David's friend, Clayton Frady, were fired from their jobs at a Boy Scout camp because they hung a stray dog by its neck, slit its throat, and stoned it to death. Arkansas Governor Huckabee did everything in his "power" at the time, to prevent the State Police from investigating his son. The head of the State Police at the time was John Bailey, who later told Newsweek, that Governor Huckabees chief of staff and personal attorney, both "leaned" on him to not cooperate with the local prosecutor. Bailey said he viewed the pressure as improper and cut off communication. Seven months later, Bailey was called into Huckabees office and fired. Bailey claims that Huckabee told him that "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job, I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had "that" problem". This country needs another power hungry man as President?
Mike Huckabee also has a record of dipping into public funds and accepting improper gifts from supporters, something extremely problematic for a job like president where you control a trillion dollar budget.
He was investigated 16 times and cited five times by the Arkansas Ethics Commission for violating ethics rules. Two of those citations were for cash that the governor or his wife accepted but did not report. Huckabee's gifts peaked at $112,000 in 1999, including $23,000 worth of clothing; over half of that was given by one businessman who Huckabee appointed to a state board.
He claimed personal ownership of over $70,000 worth of furnishings in the governors mansion. The person who donated the furnishing, Cotton Grower Boe Adams said they were for the state, not the governor. After the Huckabees moved out in 2006, no one could find the furniture, even after a state audit. Huckabees wife insisted that "they must be there somewhere" lol. He also used state airplanes for personal transportation for his family and friends and in 1994 when he was lieutenant governor, he formed a non-profit called Action America which seemed to exist only to deliver money to him, without donors having to report or limit their contributions the way they would have a normal political contribution. A few years later, Action America paid Huckabee over $61,000 for giving speeches at "its events" lol, (its) being his own personal not for profit lol, wink wink OMG, and people want to consider this person for the Presidency?
Huckabee also admitted to eating squirrels he cooked in a popcorn popper.
People who know him say: that nice, sweet persona he shows on tv, is a fraud, he is actually quick to anger and repercussions can be swift and harsh.
Huckabee also claims, that years of his sermons were destroyed in a church remodeling, sorta like those 100 computer hard drives destroyed -- literally crushed -- when he left the governor's office. This is a man who makes sure that there is no evidence lying around, he hides the bodies. This is Presidential material? Huckabee is just another political fraud, lying, cheating and acting for the camera while hiding from view, the ugly truth of who he really is. Huckabee is a prime example of why we desperately need to protect the seperation of church and state. Imagine this guy using his vision of religion, incorporated in his governing of this country using bits and pieces of the Constitution, the bible and his obvious random and reckless decision making as shown by his past actions above.
Now close your eyes, and imagine a Huckabee Presidency. This is only one of the reasons Obama must be re elected to a second term, the alternatives are too horrendous to even consider.
