Strike Two

The salacious Mitchell Report. Romney's knife fight rules. Baptists against Huckabee. Don't call her Bruno. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 11)

br> -- Les Arbo br> Daphne, Alabama /p>

Friday, TAS had three articles that had messages for Governor Huckabee; two were directly about The Smilin' Preacher from Hope -- "Huck and the Dapper"; "Huckabee Attacking Reaganomics" -- and one holds a lesson for him: "Evergreen Grudge Match."

Yes, Governor Huckabee is a likeable person and has a certain charm about him, but even his greatest nemeses will concede the same about another former governor from Arkansas. Sadly, the similarities don't end there. Just as the Boy President left behind a stink of hints, allegations, and things left unsaid, so it is with The Impossibly Possible Preacher President. Add a love of taxes and the picture becomes even clearer: A Huckabee presidency would look an awful (emphasis on awful) lot like the Clinton presidency, minus the cigars and sexual liaisons.

Boy Clinton had a real, not RINO, congress to hold his feet to the fire on many issues. The congress was often able to stymie the Clinton tax increases, or at least lessen their impact on the economy. A Huckabee administration will likely have a Democratic dominated congress (though the Dems seem eager to shoot themselves in the foot on a regular basis). With a spendthrift congress eager to "redistribute wealth," Huckabee and company would not only continue the economic wrongheaded largess of the current administration, they would create a tax burden that would hobble the American and world economies for years to come.

p>Do I like Mike? Sure, he would be a charming dinner guest, but I don't want to put him in charge of my budgets. America will be better off with a president who is neither from Hope or named Clinton. br> -- Ira M. Kessel br> Rochester, New York /p> p> PRAYERS FOR HUCKABEE br> Re: Lawrence Henry's
