The 2012 election is a chance for people who love our Constitution to strike back. Mike Huckabee isn&#8217;t the man to do it, and he will take the wind out of the sails of this movement.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he&#8217;s smooth. He can touch the heartstrings. I just don&#8217;t trust the man. I really don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me is that I don&#8217;t feel he&#8217;s a true conservative, but he tries to dress up as one.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he&#8217;s strong on the social issues. But he&#8217;s squishy on immigration. He seems soft to me on the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>I have heard him often on his show on Fox. It bugs me the issues he gets fired up about &#8211; nothing that wouldn&#8217;t be supported by 70% or more of the people. The concept of limited government is on life support, but he doesn&#8217;t seem passionate about that. It strikes me that he&#8217;s too afraid to be controversial.<\/p>\n<p>And I didn&#8217;t like how he cozied up with John McCain to drive Mitt Romney out of the running in the 2008 campaign, after he himself had no chance of winning.<\/p>\n<p>No, I just don&#8217;t trust him.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\n\/* 336x280, created 7\/26\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2207044504\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-expand\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F&amp;t=Anybody+but+Huckabee+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F&amp;text=Anybody+but+Huckabee+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=On+Thursday%2C+Special+Report%27s+%2212+in+2012%22+series+featured+Mike+Huckabee+as+a+potential+candidate+for+president.+To+me%2C+it%27s+a+wasted+opportunity.+The+2012+election+is+a+chance+for+people+who+love+our+Constitution+to+strike+back.+Mike+Huckabee%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F&amp;title=Anybody+but+Huckabee&amp;source=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog&amp;summary=On+Thursday%2C+Special+Report%27s+%2212+in+2012%22+series+featured+Mike+Huckabee+as+a+potential+candidate+for+president.+To+me%2C+it%27s+a+wasted+opportunity.+The+2012+election+is+a+chance+for+people+who+love+our+Constitution+to+strike+back.+Mike+Huckabee%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog:+Anybody+but+Huckabee&amp;body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fanybody-but-huckabee%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Special Report&#8217;s &#8220;12 in 2012&#8221; series featured Mike Huckabee as a potential candidate for president.
