    Underhanded behavior by Mike Huckabee This sly, underhanded behavior by Mike Huckabee has been pervasive all throughout his campaign. He tries to set himself up as the better man, only to dish out dirt in a sneaky, nasty manner. Huckabee's dishonest behavior is really causing me to dislike the man. He reminds me of the guy who'd say something nasty about someone's mother under his breath, then run off laughing when the guy who punched him for saying such a thing got in trouble.


    The most overtly Christian candidate is behaving in the least Christian manner.

    This will cost Huckabee his nomination Huckabee really revealed how feebleminded he is in this slip up... He is NOT presidential material.  Hypocrisy rings throughout this course of events.  My fellow Americans, PLEASE do NOT vote for Huckabee for the presidential nomination, America will fall apart at the seams if this sort of thing would happen while he were working with other nations leaders...

    Huckster, model of integrity This slimy, underhanded attack is what you might expect from a man who was ranked #6 in Judicial Watch's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2007.  The details behind their ranking -


    6.  Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR):  Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record.  According to The Associated Press:  "[Huckabee's] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor's office."  And what was Governor Huckabee's response to these ethics allegations?  Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

    #1 on the list?  Hillary Clinton.  #10?  Harry Reid. 


    The allegedly "dishonest" Mitt Romney was nowhere in sight.
