I beg to differ on Huckabee being the next George Bush. Mike Huckabee is far more articulate and far funnier than the current President. Huckabee has the ability to disarm harsh and splitting questions with comedy. Not many people can do that, especially in the political sphere.

As far your claim "But he is gonna raise taxes, continue to spread war, continue to push for "patriotic" laws that subdue civil liberties, and continue to spend more money than we have till the dollar turns into monopoly money," I will have to disagree with you. Mike Huckabee won't raise taxes because he is a fiscal conservative. If anyone says otherwise read: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/11/huckabee_is_a_fiscal_conservat.html

And he is also going to push for the FairTax. The FairTax will change the entire country. It will change the personal sphere and the political sphere. Don't believe me? Read my sig.

When it comes to "...continue to spread war..." I don't know exactly how he will handle every situation but I believe he will secure this country against it's enemies. If that means we take military action against "Islamofascist" States then we take action against them. They are the spreaders of hate and intolerance.

If by "...continue to push for 'patriotic' laws..." you mean building a fence and punishing the employers that hire illegal aliens, then I would say you need to understand how porous our southern border is. That border can allow terrorists access to the heartland of America. Just imagine a terrorist attack on American soil... wait... nvm you don't have to imagine.

He also won't subdue civil liberties. He is against abortion and gay MARRIAGE because he believes that they are immoral. He believes that we should not re-define marriage, because that would re-define the family. The family, as Mike correctly understands, is the central unit to any civilization. If that is changed, poof, there goes America as we know it. He stands upon what he believes and makes policies based on that. You can't fault him for making policy based on his beliefs, although I will admit you can disagree with his beliefs.

The $Dollar$ is already MONOPOLY MONEY!!! This is because we have been spending money far too much and far too wastefully. This isn't because we are increasing military spending. This is because of government programs like "The War on Poverty" and "The War on Drugs" and Social Security and Medicare. Now know this, I know that there is a time and a place for some of the things those programs provide.
I say that they shouldn't be provided by the government, but instead should be provided by the private sector. Charities, philanthropists, and compassionate entrepreneurial companies could take over the governments role and be much more efficient. That would also remove a drain on the government's budget. If you take a look at those programs, you will see that they are actually counter-productive at getting people out of poverty, which is the goal of those programs!

/sigh

In any case, I will stop yapping on and on. I hope this doesn't start a flame war between Mike and Paul...
