SC for the huckster says this:
"Our second candidate in the spotlight is former Governor Mitt Romney who served 1 term as the Governor of Massachusetts. Compared to that of Mike Huckabee who has 10 ½ years of executive experience as the Governor of Arkansas."I don't think the huckster wants to get in the business of comparing resumes.
Mass has 6 million people, Ark has 2. So Romney was governor of more people for more years (24 million man-years... is that a new term?). Outside of government... do we even need to go there? What the Hell has the huckster ever done, beside attract elmer fud looking supporters like this guy? You go dude. You hunt those things with your dog. That is awsome. You go. That is the most important thing we need in our next president... someone who can attract elmer fud...
Elmer Fud has a bachelors degree in 2½ years before attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas! OMG! OMG! That sounds presidential? Mitt Romney only has an MBA and JD with honors from Harvard... Romney was only a baker scolar, and only graduated cum laude from harvard law school... butter go with the guy from SBTS! Yeah, lets go with the elmer fud dude...
Fiscal record
Huckabee has been criticized for his fiscal record as governor. He increased state spending 65.3 percent from 1996 to 2004. He has also supported numerous tax hikes, prompting some conservative critics to accuse him of being a liberal in disguise.[27] The Cato Institute, a libertarian non-profit public policy research foundation, [28] gave him an F grade for spending and tax policy in 2006, and an overall grade of D for his governorship. [29]
Upon entering office, Romney faced a $3 billion deficit. Facing an immediate fiscal crisis, the Governor asked the state legislature for emergency powers to make "9C" cuts to the fiscal year 2003 budget. Romney cut spending and restructured state government.[23]Massachusetts finished 2004 with a $700 million surplus and 2005 with a $500 million surplus. [31] [32]
