Ladies and gents, your soundbite of the day. You’ll know it when you hear it; Hemmer set him up and darned if Huck didn’t knock it right down. Mitt actually got off easy here: Huckabee’s preferred response to critics of his immigration policies is to accuse them of being un-Christian, a tactic we may yet see from him in this campaign but probably not vis-a-vis Romney since it would be perceived as a veiled dig at his Mormonism. After you watch, take a stroll through Lonewacko’s archives on Huckabee, especially this post. The campaign’s saying all the right things these days but those Arkansas poultry-processing plants weren’t going to just staff themselves. Sounds like that consulate in Little Rock is paying big dividends already.
Update: Here’s Mitt’s response from this afternoon’s Live Desk.

Why is it that people against enforcement of immigration laws always use exceptional cases as their argument?
MadisonConservative on November 14, 2007 at 1:13 PM
If you don’t vote for Huckabee, you’re a racist who hates brown people.
frankj on November 14, 2007 at 1:14 PM
Mitt is on the live desk right now responding to the Huckster.

Christians don’t lie!!!11!! Believe Huckabee. Vote Huckabee!!1!!

Tough love is what illegals need badly. And, with tough love, there are consequences. If you are an illegal immigrant, your children may get caught up in the consequences of your illegal actions.
saiga on November 14, 2007 at 1:19 PM
If you don’t vote Huckabee, not only are you a racist who hates brown people, you’re also going to Hell.
Lehosh on November 14, 2007 at 1:20 PM
And Mitt just smacked him back in an interview with Martha Macallum.
csdeven on November 14, 2007 at 1:24 PM
I guess I’m the only Hot Air reader who actually like Huckabee. It’s funny when The Mayor’s supporters attack him for being liberal. Hilarious.
tizzidale on November 14, 2007 at 1:30 PM
On economic issues, Huckabee is more liberal than Giuliani.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 1:33 PM
You know for a fact that Mitt’s team is just waiting for the opportune time to hoist Huck on that petard. I really liked Huck until this stuff started coming out. The illegal immigration issue is a pivotal issue this time around. And Rudy, Huck, and that scumbag Fred are all having issues with it. I think Rudy can overcome it, but the rest will not be able to.
csdeven on November 14, 2007 at 1:33 PM
I don’t know. I like Rudy, but this issue is a major weakness. He’d have to come out pretty hard against his previous position, and explain in depth why he changed his mind on it.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 1:35 PM
From the Arkansas News (past issue)- Gov. Mike Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.
Clark1 on November 14, 2007 at 1:35 PM
*snicker* Ah…heh.
MadisonConservative on November 14, 2007 at 1:35 PM
So all of us “racists” and “bigots” only imagine that there is some sort of “real problem” with immigrants voting in American elections and receiving American welfare…
Well you have to admit, Huckabee does differentiate himself from the liberals on one point: they would have called us “homophobes” instead of “unChristian.”
logis on November 14, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Mitt responded to Huck by saying that illegal immigration isn’t a matter to be joked about. This was the first time I’ve seen a candidate go after Huck for relying on his witty responses. He’s right. Eventually Huck will have to have some substantive responses instead of funny remarks that deflect the issue at hand. I think Mitt’s response was quite effective.
csdeven on November 14, 2007 at 1:38 PM
Huckabee is as dishonest as they come.
He now has THIS on his web site.
It makes him sound more like Tom Tancredo than Tom Tancredo sounds like Tom Tancredo.
Talk about a total reinvention of himself.
How does he get away with this?
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 1:38 PM
No matter how he spins it, he favors giving taxpayer funded tuition breaks to illegal aliens - and cheap shots about Mitt’s lawn care service won’t change that.
I trust this will be posted at Hot Air so we can see it for ourselves :)
Buy Danish on November 14, 2007 at 1:39 PM
Do you realize this man is a nanny stater carbon taxer? Did you hear his statements about raising taxes? This man is not a republican. He is a religious liberal.
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 1:39 PM
Now that’s some serious chutzpah.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 1:41 PM
After the typo is corrected, that question pretty much answers itself.
logis on November 14, 2007 at 1:41 PM
Huckabee is a fiscal conservative who enacted broad tax cuts in his state and left it with a budget surplus. Those statements about raising taxes were taken completely out of context. Read this for the REAL story:
http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Newsroom.PressRelease&ID=370
I encourage Hot Air to post the facts on this, as the meme that he’s more liberal than Giuliani is just plain nonsense.
Jared White on November 14, 2007 at 1:43 PM
I think the tack he will stay with is the “I had to do this for NYC, but it wont apply to the nation AND I promise I will oppose illegal immigration at all levels” approach.
You know what I think might start to be his weak point? 9/11. If he relies on it too much, he comes off as one dimensional. That’s why I like his first ad from the other thread. But even if he convinces folks he is three dimensional, one huge part of that is his extremely liberal social stances. Very problematic ESPECIALLY if Mitt starts polling better against the Hildebeast. If Mitt looks more electable in the general, Rudy is toast.
csdeven on November 14, 2007 at 1:43 PM
That’s far from clear. When he was campaigning for liberal Democrat Mario Cuomo he came out against Pataki’s tax cut. Plus Rudy’s motivation for successfully challenging (the admittedly unconstitutional) line item veto was that he loved him some federal pork.
Hollowpoint on November 14, 2007 at 1:44 PM
That would be a great contrast.
csdeven on November 14, 2007 at 1:46 PM
I just went through Allah’s links. I predict that the Hucksters surge in the polls will be short lived once he gets hammered by his primary opponents.
Mitt is in the strongest position to do this as he really has no weaknesses on the immigration issue.
Buy Danish on November 14, 2007 at 1:47 PM
For the REAL story, the best you can do is direct us to his own campaign website? Weak. Very weak.
I don’t see what context would make his begging for higher taxes seem OK.
Hollowpoint on November 14, 2007 at 1:47 PM
Are you voting for the Republican candidate in the Presidential election?
JiangxiDad on November 14, 2007 at 1:49 PM
Huck says, “you don’t punish a child for the crime of the parent.”
You also don’t reward a child because his parents are criminals.
Googling “Huckabee” and “scandal” gives 641,000 hits. Huck knows a lot about criminals.
Valiant on November 14, 2007 at 1:49 PM
It’s pretty clear to the Club for Growth, who measures it based on policies passed, not just opinions espoused.
Huckabee versus Giuliani. If there’s one issue on which Rudy has been consistent, it’s implementing pro-growth policies in his city.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 1:49 PM
I especially “like” this part:
The Governor opposes and will not tolerate employers who hire illegals. They must be punished with fines and penalties so large that they will see it is not worth the risk.
I wonder if Tyson Foods will ask for their money back.
This Huckster guy is unreal.
His nose must extend from Arkansas to Hawaii by now.
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 1:50 PM
I think he means well, but he isn’t tough enough to get hardnosed when he should. When I think of the nanny state, I think of all those welfare people standing around like a bunch of cows in N.O. after the hurricane. No initiative, no motivation, no gumption, just waiting for nanny to scoop them up and carry them off. We need to migrate further into self-reliance and self esteem. Paying people to be lazy and ignorant just breeds more of it, and that hurts America.
saiga on November 14, 2007 at 1:50 PM
Exactly Hollowpoint. And his attempt to spin his way out of college tuition for illegals in the clip was equally weak.
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 1:50 PM
Club for Growth:
By the end of his ten-year tenure, Governor Huckabee was responsible for a 37% higher sales tax in Arkansas, 16% higher motor fuel taxes, and 103% higher cigarette taxes according to Americans for Tax Reform (01/07/07), garnering a lifetime grade of D from the free-market Cato Institute.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 1:51 PM
Not if it is Rudolfo or Huckster. Otherwise probably - with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 1:52 PM
Yeah, sounds like he is a pro-life tax and spend liberal.
liquidflorian on November 14, 2007 at 1:53 PM

Right on the money saiga. And just wrap your mind around the fact that the Huckster wants to “fight global warming” by carbon taxing. Niiiice. As my gramps always says, “there is nothing more I need to know about that person.”
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 1:54 PM
He may not be as dirty as Rudy on illegal immigration (but then, who is?), but there is the fact that he was for McCain-Kennedy before he was against it and claimed it wasn’t really amnesty. Another example of Mitt taking all three sides of an issue.
Plus he didn’t even try to address illegal immigration or sanctuary cities as governor until the final weeks of his term- and then only as a campaign ploy that was never actually implemented.
Hollowpoint on November 14, 2007 at 1:54 PM
And if we vote for him we can add carbon taxing to that list too Sublog. Thanks for posting by the way.
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 1:55 PM
“Probably.” Guess you don’t like any of the Repub. candidates that much. If you decide not to vote for one, will you vote for Clinton or Obama, or just not vote?
JiangxiDad on November 14, 2007 at 1:59 PM
Carbon taxes? Hadn’t heard that one. Geez…
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 2:00 PM
OK, they do give Rudy a much better review than they do Huckster, but there wasn’t exactly a shortage of anti-growth policies listed there for Rudy either. There are some inconsistancies there.
Hollowpoint on November 14, 2007 at 2:01 PM
I think Allah posted something about it too. I’ll try to find it.
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 2:02 PM
Day-um.
CP on November 14, 2007 at 2:02 PM
But there’s definitely a fundamental philosophical difference between the two. I think what the Club for Growth showed is that Rudy did better than expected in a liberal environment and Huckabee did much worse in a conservative one.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 2:03 PM
It wasn’t pork in NYC’s case. NY was paying an unfair share of taxes to the Feds and was getting squat back in return. Things like Medicaid are unfunded mandates that the Feds need to reimburse the states for - either that or get rid of the programs on the federal level altogether and let the states fund and run them themselves. I’ll happily take the cut in my federal taxes.
Rudy did his bit by cutting 600,000 people off the welfare rolls and changing welfare into workfare - before the 1994 Republican revolution.
Buy Danish on November 14, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Romney struck back on the Live Desk, stating the obvious… you simply can’t defend giving better rates on college for illegal aliens than for citizens, period.
Also, Bob Beckel got a very obvious hair dye job… it was as creepy as the oranged skin John Kerry we all remember from 2004

I’m torn here. What is the issue with granting the benefits of access to higher education loans and grants to American citizens whose children have no legal status in the United States?
I don’t know if I understand why it’s so controversial to support legislation that would grant these American citizens the same rights to in state tuition.
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 2:09 PM
That’s a fair assessment, but at least some of his anti-growth issues were actually opposed by the liberal city council. He can’t lay them all at the feet of city government liberals.

I have read and commented on this site for quite a long time. I have been disgusted by HotAir’s hit pieces on Huckabee where you take his words out of context, mischaracterize his positions and make accusations with little fact to back them up. I had hoped for unbiased consideration of all Republican candidates but I guess that is too much to hope for. Unfortunately it seems everyone and every site has an agenda and HotAir is no exception.

Sublog, here is the best I can do on short notice. Thought I remembered Allah saying something about this but perhaps I read it somewhere else. Follow this link to read Huckabee not quite endorsing a carbon tax but not quite ruling one out either:

How were the words in that video taken out of context? Was he or was he not asking the legislature for some sort of tax hike?
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 2:18 PM
Considering Huckabee’s recent history has been this:
I read that above quote as, “I think taxing carbon emmissions is a great idea.”
Zetterson on November 14, 2007 at 2:18 PM
What? I don’t understand. Legal American citizens whose children have no legal status in the US. What the heck are you talking about. Sounds like Hillary talk.
saiga on November 14, 2007 at 2:19 PM
I think that Vicente Fox may be. No I think Rudolfo’s got him beat. Huckster too. Maybe Vicente should get into the race for the Republican nomination. At least he stands up for his country.

Romney/Huckabee? Never going to happen. It’s crazy to think the Baptists will take the backseat to a Romney administration. The Baptists won’t even endorse a Mormon. I’m expecting the Baptists to make the biggest stink about the Mormon issue in the primary.
/end
Carbon tax? Huckabee will support a carbon tax where one is carefully structured. I suspect a few other Republicans would support one as well.
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Huck is also for outlawing cigarettes because of the burdon on medicare/medicade. He said they are the only product legally sold in America that will kill you if you follow the instructions on the pack.
I don’t smoke, but I’m not sure America is ready for that yet.

A carefully structured carbon tax? Do tell. And while telling please explain the purpose of one while you are at it.

I would hope not. Tax breaks for innovative solutions to renewable energy, perhaps. But a new tax based on science still being debated?
Any Republican suggests that, and they’re not getting my vote.

By definition America will never be ready for that. To be ready is not to be America any longer.

saiga: First, I’m in the “anyone but Hillary” coalition. My dog in the ‘08 general is “anyone but Hillary”. Consider me a “Keep the Clinton’s out of elected office” voter.
I’m sincere about the higher education question for the american citizen children of illegal immigrant parents. The children are in public school. If they were born in the United States they are US citizens. This is the very reason why Federal courts ruled these children could not be denied access to public schools. If they live in the district and they are citizens then they can attend public schools all the way through High School.
Now, these are Americans Citizens right? They graduate from High School. They naturally want to go to college if they can afford it. How do you deny these people access to grants, loans, and scholarships that their fellow students of legally established parents have?
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Given that your response to criticism to Huckster is to stick your fingers in your ears and yell “la la la I can’t hear you, no he didn’t so there”, I’m not sure what more you expect.
I checked out the link to Huckster’s campaign site. He whines about somehow being taken out of context, with an explanation that sure- he was for a tax increase- but he just wanted it to be temporary. Hardly a strong defense.
Also, his taking credit for his successor’s tax cut on food items was just hilarious.
Hollowpoint on November 14, 2007 at 2:30 PM
I am trying to save
the cheerleaderAmerica!What are you trying to do? Pawn the Huckster on us? Looks that way.
All you have to do is compare and contrast what he has said and done in the past and what he has on his web site now and the truth is clear as to what he is.
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Zetterson: How well do you handle “CFR[Council on Foreign Relations] speak”? My argument on Republicans supporting a carbon tax will interconnect with the CFR view.
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Yes. Tell your “young friend” that Hillary is so liberal that she is almost as liberal as Rudolfo and Huckster are. That should do it.

I believe that clip was taken after the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that he had to increase education funding. He was essentially forced to raise taxes and was explaining what he would accept.
Spacen on November 14, 2007 at 2:34 PM
That’s not what Huckabee is talking about:
Huckabee said it’s “terribly unjust” for a child who arrived in Arkansas at a young age and graduated from high school to be denied state-funded college scholarships because of a “a status that he had no control over.” “Do we want to change the future for these kids? Then let’s give them the opportunity. Let’s not say that our doors are open but our opportunities are closed,” Huckabee said Tuesday in his State of the State Address to the General Assembly.
His plan would strain an already-dwindling pool of financial aid dollars.
Slublog on November 14, 2007 at 2:34 PM
As liberal as 1. Mitt?
2. Fred?
JiangxiDad on November 14, 2007 at 2:36 PM
Maine had a similar issue arise as a result of the passage of a bond issue. Our Democratic governor didn’t raise taxes, but found the money through a combination of spending cuts and consolidation proposals.

Look to Arkansas to determine if Huckabee can defeat Clinton. Can’t do it. Democrats failed to notice that Gore couldn’t win in his home state before it was too late. I hope republicans don’t do the same stupid thing.
Sue on November 14, 2007 at 2:50 PM
We should all just keep our mouths shut and just praise and vote for whomever the Republican party nominates in 2008. After all they have been very loyal to us the last few years so we would be ingrates if we did not reciprocate with our loyalty.
If the Democrats were to nominate a conservative for President don’t you think that all the Democrats would remain loyal? Of course they would.
FeralCat on November 14, 2007 at 2:53 PM
In other words, you want to give anchor babies the same rights as “legitimate” American citizens. The fact is that today, anchor babies are legitimate American citizens and do deserve the rights as other citizens. What the issue was with Huck was not anchor babies, but illegal alien children.
I would like to see them eliminate “anchor babies”, and make the children of illegals born here also illegal. Tancredo has the right position on that.
saiga on November 14, 2007 at 2:54 PM
Clue me in on the joke. Laughing about Hillary is something I seldom do.
saiga on November 14, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Hillary is much more liberal than either Mitt or Fred.
Was that a trick question?
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Wow, there’s so much wrong here I don’t even know where to start…
The party doesn’t just nominate on it’s own- we voters make that determination. As such, it’s up to us to take an active role in advancing our opinions on who the best nominee should be. It’s sometimes referred to as the democratic process.
And the Republican party has been “very loyal” to us?!?!? Have you been in a coma the past 7 years??? You call explosive growth in spending and government, advancing amnesty, defending pork and otherwise refusing to stand up for conservative principles as being “very loyal”???
Try very traitorous. Even after losing in 2006, they still haven’t learned their lesson- if we don’t hold our candidates to conservative, Republican principles, then we reward them for abandoning us.

saiga: OK. Thanks for clarifying the Huckabee position he took as Governor. I assumed he was talking about children of illegal immigrants that were in fact American Citizens.
I still think there is a big problem opposing legislation to give access to american citzen children of illegal immigrant parents. We can advocate to change the birth right laws in the US, but how many American Citizen children of illegal immigrant parents are in the United States? There has to be a lot of them. A million? More? Less? I don’t see how you can deny these students access to loans, grants, and scholarships for higher education when they were available to them all the way through high school.
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 3:12 PM
I think that was sarcasm. In fact, I know it was.
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 3:12 PM
I did, too. And MB4, the link to Huck’s web site is making me think about the criticisms of Huck that we’ve heard from people in Arkansas, namely that he is unscrupulous about switching policy preferences at the drop of a hat.
Also came up with a list like yours above, but more recently, and with fewer options. LOL — you agree with Sharpton more than Daschle. Too funny…

Will happily take you at your word. However, your score for Giuliani and Huckabee is 43. Clinton, Paul, Obama, less. So why won’t you vote consistent with the results you present. Why do you say Hillary is to the right of Giuliani, for ex, but you score Hillary so much lower than Giuliani? Your scores don’t match your opinions?

Sorry if I lost my temper!!!!
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on November 14, 2007 at 3:20 PM
Why is that even an issue? An American citizen has just as much right to access to public education regardless of the status of his / her parents. No legislation is needed to correct something that isn’t wrong.
sweeper on November 14, 2007 at 3:23 PM
Sweeper: Good point. I need to look at these legislation proposals more closely. If the children are American Citizens then they already should have every right to the same loans, grants, and scholarships.
gabriel sutherland on November 14, 2007 at 3:26 PM
The quiz is only part of what I have to go on.
The quiz was based on how the potential candidates at the time answer a policy quiz that was sent to them. It was just one outfit’s quiz and it did not cover everything and I don’t think that all of them answered truthfully. We now know, for example, that Rudolfo spins and Huckster lies.
Are you a lawyer?
MB4 on November 14, 2007 at 3:32 PM
The establishment of a consulate office in Little Rock financed by taxpayers is a deal breaker for me. There can be no valid reason for doing so, other than to provide support for his states illegal work force. I don’t believe another Hope, Arkansas president is in the best interest of this nation.
captivated_dem on November 14, 2007 at 3:35 PM
MB4,
I myself don’t use on-line quizzes as if they provide some meaningful results, but, considering the sources you use to bash Rudy it doesn’t surprise me that you think it proves something.
After you posted your results I did a google search and I took the same quiz. It came out for Romney and Rudy on top, but of course when you have questions like “Do you prefer someone with executive experience over legislative” it’s pretty obvious what the results are going to be.
You agree with Ron Paul on the Iraq War, cutting off support for Israel and the like - which are among the issues he is most vocal about.
