Interview with Governor Mike Huckabee

Right Wing News has up a pretty good interview with Governor Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee spoke on Iran and Iraq. He did a good job about Iraq, but I didn't like what he said about Iran. Basically he thought as long as Iran wasn't threatening our shores then we should leave them alone. He figured Europe is more in danger so they should take care of Iran. Gee Mike, some of those European nations are our allies. I'd like to think that we'd help them if they were in danger.

Huckabee's answer for immigration was just so wrong. It was amnesty for the illegals. It appeared that he wasn't for a fence or some sort of tighter border security. He thought it would cost too much. He also tried to dance around benefits for illegals.

Huckabee was asked about all the tax raises Arkansas has had. He tried to blame the legislature for that. You know, Mike, you could have come before the public and said that the legislature was trying to raise taxes and people would have responded. The fact is you really didn't oppose the taxes that much.

At the end of the interview Huckabee could pick 3 pieces of legislation he wanted to see pass. His answers give credence to the fact that Mike Huckabee is not a serious candidate for President.
