I’ve been rather mum (at least in public) about whom I’m supporting for president. But I do have a short list of people I cannot support. Joining Rudy Giuliani on the short list is tax-hiker and Jimmy Carter wannabe Mike Huckabee… and good riddance.
Of course, few candidates are as much of a patent abrogation of Reaganism as Rudy Giuliani. But Huckabee’s politics have consistently provent to be the “big government conservativism” that progressives love to parody as the domestic arm of the neo-conservativism movement, and in fact is the precise opposite of what the Ron Paul candidacy is (imperfectly) trying to recapture — that being the small government and libertarian-leaning Goldwater Republicans.
