Huckabeeee, Huckabaaaah, Huckabooooo...

I wouldn't vote for this guy for a number of reasons, but none of them are as universally damning as Giuliani's résumé.

Huckabee's corruption seems to be limited to creative campaign financing, personal use of public funds, and soliciting gifts in excess of what was allowed by state law via a wedding registry. I say "seems to be," because this fellow has covered his trail. Right before announcing his bid for the presidency, Huckabee ordered the destruction of the hard drives of 83 computers and four servers that his office had access to. This move, while possibly not illegal (as far as I can tell it's still under investigation), stinks of cover-up. Huck probably destroyed the hard drives after recalling that electronic information stored on them had contributed to previous scandals (including the one about his use of governor's mansion funds for personal wants).

So yeah, that was the short short version of Huck's corruption record. On to ideology. This fellow has pinned himself to the radical right. He opposes abortion. He opposes same-sex marriage and civil unions ("homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk"). He opposes gun control. He supports creationism and the death penalty. He believes that his political success is due to divine intervention. His stance on illegal immigration has changed of late, being a bit muddy, but he is now advocating sealing the Mexican border and deporting illegal immigrants before they can apply for citizenship. His presidency would be a hard right turn for the country that was veering right to begin with, and it would drive us off a cliff.
