Hucakabee numbers surging in Florida

[Scooter]

Did you read about what his son did to a dog at Boy Scout camp? His position on animal welfare will keep him from getting my vote!

There was a dog that came in. It was mangy. It looked like it was going to attack," Mike Huckabee said Monday on CNN's Larry King Live. "He was a staffer at the camp. They put the dog down. They didn't do a good job of talking to the leaders. The way it was handled was not ideal, but there was no criminal activity."

Yeah instead of maybe giving a mangy dog some food and taking him somewhere to figure out if he has an owner or to a place that may attempt to find him an owner, my first instinct is to put it out of its misery.

By one account this is how it was done ....

the son of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, have admitted to catching a stray dog during their summer session at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, AR, and hanging the dog by his neck, slitting his throat and stoning him to death.

If Hucksterbee is the nominee the republicans will wander in the desert for forty years. He would be a disaster and could not possibly win. McCain McCain McCain can win and would be a great leader just when this country is appearing to be going down the drain !!!

Shades of Michael Vick, but I would not hold that incident against him, those were the alledged actions of his son.

Call me old school, but I still blame parents when their kids torture and kill animals at boy scout camp!

I would never call you "old school" scooterbug-- I always value your opinions and comments!

 

[Scooter]

I agree with you 100% Scooterbug!

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Huckabee's history of pardoning violent felons with disastrous outcomes has been a major problem for his campaign. On immigration, he is a flip-flopper. As Arkansas's governor, Huckabee supported in-state college tuition for young illegal immigrants, but recently, presumably for political expediency, has completely reversed his position. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]How about taxes? By the end of his ten-year tenure as governor of Arkansas, Huckabee was responsible for a 37% higher sales tax, 16% higher motor fuel taxes, and 103% higher cigarette taxes, according to Americans for Tax Reform. Check out the infamous video of Governor Huckabee practically begging for any new tax. YouTube - Huckabee Begs For New Taxes[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]What about pro-life issues? When asked about embryonic stem cell research, he said, "I don't think it's right to create a life to end a life." So far, so good, but then he added, "That's not a good health decision." What on earth does that mean? He was later asked, "As president, you would seek to ban abortion?" and his response was that "I would seek always to promote the view that life is precious and should be protected. But I think it has to be won on a battlefield of one heart at a time rather than pieces of legislation at a time." He clearly does not have a clear plan to stop or at least slow abortion."

I tend to agree with you on this one but would like to point out the following observations. Kids don't always follow in the footsteps of their parents. If they did, there would still be slavery in the good ole US of A. I would also point out that the kids of the Baptist preachers, whom I knew when growing up, were always the rowdy ones, rebelling against their parents. They were ALWAYS in trouble with the teachers and often, the Law, and definitely, were usually against the Church. I'm not sure that it had anything to do with their parents not being concerned for the children. I cannot say that I am proud of the way my dad treated outsider animals that came into his path. For a while, as a kid, I followed in his footsteps, killing animals. Yes, me, killing animals, can you believe it? At some point in life, I realized that I was not my father, and began making my own decisions, and I suddenly had a new perspective on many things -- the value of all life, being one of those things.

Kids are not their parents, and parents are not their kids. A good parent tries to instill the "rights and wrongs" into their kids, and gives the kids the chance to learn for themselves, which often means failing, before succeeding. People change, and hopefully, it is for the better.

Then we went back to the Radio station were I taunted him about the kids being pay back for PaPa and GRAMMY lol...
