    this article shys away from the complete story which is posted on the Humane Society "Legislative Fund"Website
    at http://hslf.typepad.com/political_animal/2007/12/the-presidentia.html

    the article states "Animal protection groups reported that the boys hanged the dog, slit his throat, and stoned him to death???but the teens were never charged with any crime." Hardly the story he later came up with. Just looking at this mug shot is scary. Only a extremely unbalanced person would or could do this.

    The story about Huckabee's son has been circulating on some blogs, like Dogster for the Love of Dog Blog and The Real Mike Huckabee, but new information has come to light. At the time of the camp incident, a local prosecutor apparently asked the Arkansas State Police to investigate whether David Huckabee violated state anti-cruelty laws. Newsweek broke the story this week that the former director of the state police, John Bailey, says that Huckabee???s chief of staff and personal attorney leaned on him to drop the investigation. According to Bailey, he refused to play ball, and was fired seven months later. It seems that the governor tried to stop the state police from investigating the cruelty charges against his son, and Bailey???s story is corroborated by the former FBI chief in Little Rock. "

    Just what America needs another president who lies, distorts the truth and leaves a trail of death and destruction behind him.

    Also, the only formal education he has had is in Biblical Studies. I don't understand how that qualifies him to be president. I don't care how much he knows about Christianity. What does he know about foreign policy and government structure and finances and other things that are important for running a country? Also, running a country using religion may prove difficult because I'm not sure jesus has taken a clear position on issues such as imports from Asia.

    These are disgusting human beings. I don't want a family that obviously enjoys the sport of killing in charge of my country. Mike Huckabee lists hunting as his number one hobby and has been quoted as saying that he loves the feeling of shooting an animal because he feels like angels are guiding the bullet into it. What a maniac. And if the god he believes in likes to kill things, I don't want him helping Mike Huckabee make decddecisions.

    'Is it normal for the state police to ??? investigate something that happened at a Boy Scout camp?' Turner, Huckabee's then chief of staff says. "We wanted the same treatment that anybody else would get." (Animal cruelty in Arkansas is a misdemeanor, not a felony.)





    If you slaughter a dog... who is supposed to investigate it if not the police? Special treatment??? This is probably one of the reasons that Huckabee was included in the top ten corrupt politicians in the nation report.

    Along the lines of Huck-a-Justice???

    If Huck is so compassionate... why did he push to release a murder... who later killed again. What about compassion for the slain, the family, not to mention the society that has to live with 12 murders (including 1st degree!!) and 1000+ other criminals he let off the hook!

    Though our system is not perfect, each individual must first be so suspicious that the police arrest him, followed by another test. Whether there is sufficient evidence to charge. Then finally the trial and conviction by a jury of the people!!(constitutionally required aspect of justice) This system allows all 3 branches of government to play a role in the conviction process.

    ---Mike Huckabee went above the system and set himself up as the law, doling out Huck-a-justice for all his friends and paying customers. Sounds more like the mob watching its own member???s backs than a holier than thou preacher!---

    When asked about his heinous record of freeing convicted felons, Huck responded that it was out of mercy! Mercy!!! Heaven forbid this kind of evil spread.

    If your wife was raped Huck would push for the attacker???s release, because the attacker was the real victim of the judicial system!!!






    ???To Hell with you, your wife, and your family???, sincerely Mike Huckabee (p.s. if you don???t vote for me, Mike Huckabee you???re going to Hell)

    You must be kidding about Romney right?? this is a nearly flawless individual, everything he has ever touched has turned to gold. He does not need to be president but he wants to make a difference. WE ARE LUCKY to have him. Unfortunatey the mainstream media wants to bring him down because he is one of the real conservatives in this race. Just look at the fruits of HIS labor...beautiful family, florishing business...the man is a success and he can make america a success. Look past your own jealousy and envy.

    The son killed the dog, but Huckster is the one who tried to get it covered up and fired the director of the Arkansas State Police for not covering it up. I'm an Arkansan, and remember this quite well. Huckabee is petty, thin skinned, spiteful and vindictive, all the while using his so-called Christianity as a campaign tool.

      ..I copied this from another post...I am an excellent judge of character and could see this in the huck the first time I saw him. Please wake up people!!!this man is not fit to run the country...he can not take any criticism whatsoever. That is dangerous!! None of the conservative talk show hosts like him...NONE!! what does that tell you?? We go to the radio as one of the last places to get the truth and everyone from Rush, to hannity, to o'reilly to ingraham, to savage, to my local hosts...DONT LIKE HUCK!!! what does that tell you!!! Please look at some of the other real conservatives in this race...there are only 3, and each is more deserving than this closet lib.

    We all have been waiting for the powerful elite who are backing the dark candidates campaign to come up with something like this. You would be surprised what money will buy. Did you also know that Huckabee supports taxing the internet? Who would be hurt the most? Ebay? Well probably and maybe that is why Ebay CEO is pumping millions into Romney's campaign. Trust me when I say that there will be more of this kind of paid for garbage. Countrymen, this is a war, believe me. They do not want an honest man like Mike Huckabee in office. The rich are going to hurt if this happens.

    We have to stick together and shut Romney down soon.

    This Huckabee lie is far more understandable than most of the many lies he seems to tell nonstop without blushing or batting an eye. Even if its not the best thing for his son, he's trying to protect him.

    But if PETA doesn't issue a statement condemning Huckabee for this there is something seriously wrong with that group.

  • Posted By: Rosalita @ 01/10/2008 9:34:38 AM

    Huckabee made a big thing about going hunting - he kills animals so why should it be any different for his disgusting son! What a family. Yeah, let;s try to push what your son did under the carpet. One dog doesn't matter does it! You know what they say about people that abuse, torture and murder animals don't you. What a revolting specimen of human life he is!

    I just love it when the good Christians rave about killing fetuses and in the same sentence argue against health care for all the unwanted babies they produced - and piously talk about saving the poor of the world in dirty filthy places but object to doing the same when those people show up in this country. I am not a liberal. I am a person who has spent a lifetime cleaning up after the Huckabees of the world - pardon me if i can see through the BS. I say again, no one has the right to claim Huckabee is against animal testing unless they have a signed statement from HIM to that effect. The very idea that someone could believe such a thing is an insult to all intelligence.

    Greenconsciousness: You also promote the DEMAND that ALL people are entitled to healthcare. Historically, people in America (immigrants of the past included) have always worked hard to pay for their home, food, clothing, and doctor bills. Nobody gave them those things for free. But now, we have all of these liberals who expect that everyone is entitled to everything without being a legal citizen who pays taxes and without working. Who is going to fund everyone's "right" to healthcare. How can any country pay for all of its people, illegal immigrants included, to have a free home, free food, free clothing, free medicine, free doctors, free hospitals? There are too many on welfare who could work but cheat the system and don't work or they work and hide their pay or send it back to Mexico so they don't have to contribute to taxes to help pay for anything? How can we hold it all up? Eventually those who are paying for everything, those whom the liberals villainize as "wealthy" people and "big business", will give up and stop working too. Who's going to pay for everything then? Unless someone has valid physicial problems that prohibit them from working, they should be expected to work to support their family in every way and to pay taxes to have the privilege of using our infrastructure, roads, schools, sanitation, sewage, electrical infrastructure, bridges,, etc. They shouldn't be allowed to get free everything including free college so they can be baby-making machines to get more welfare money. and send most of their under the table money to their "mother country". And they shouldn't be here burning our flag and putting America down and flying their other country's flag. If people don't love America, then get out and see how you like any other country. If they want to fly their Mexican or Cuban or other flag, leave and go back there. GO get free healthcare somewhere else like Canada where they die waiting. America has its problems, but it is the best place on earth. If you don't think so. Get out. And people shouldn't be able to eat like pigs eating chemical laden junk and sit in front of TV and worship Hollywood actors so that they never exercise, and then blame America's healthcare system and doctors because they get sick and have bad health problems. Be responsible for yourselves people: Eat right, exercise, work, pay for your family's expenses, pay your taxes, do unto others as you would have them do unto you and we'll all be OK.

    Greenconsiousness, You are an intolerant liberal. I thought liberals loved tolerance. You tolerate everything except Christianity. I don't appreciate you saying that all Christian families teach their children to abuse animals and women. You don't have a clue what it means to be a Christian. You couldn't be further from the truth. Who is out risking their lives in AFrica and other Muslim countries caring for people who are tortured and abandoned? CHRISTIANS. They are who you will find in every horrible place in the world giving their lives to help the helpless. Giving up all the comforts of America to clothe, feed, and care for the unwanted. Liberals scream the loudest for their right to murder beautiful, cute unborn human babies. And yet they get all crazy bent out of shape if they hear someone hurt an animal. What's more important? A human being or an animal? And nowhere do Christians learn to abuse animals. God said we are to be good stewards of the earth and take care of it and the animals and use them for our needs without being greedy and overusing them. Do you wear leather shoes?

    You have absolutely no right to make your outrageous comments unless you have a signed statement from Huckabee stating he opposes experiments on animals! And you don't because he doesn't.

    The only reason Huckabee is speaking out for healthy lifestyles is because his buddies in the insurance industry want to raise premiums on the "unhealthy". He is bolstering his arguments against health care for the masses. He understands he will be asked why should he get health care while those who cannot afford insurance have to suffer without health care. So his answer is they should live in more healthful ways. We see his attitude toward animals in the story above. How he took care to bury his son's obvious cruelty. Where there is animal abuse there will be and has been cruelty toward children. It is hard to believe you are an environmentalist as you are totally oblivious to "The Links". I suggest you go to "The Latham Foundation's" website and read the connection to abuse of children who exhibit violence against animals. They grow up to batter women and children because that is how they were treated in their good Christian families and their pathology is covered up with "boys will be boys". Hunkabee also signed a religious covenant requiring women to be submissive to their husbands. Seriously, you do not speak for environments in any way and you are deluded about Hunkabee and his primitive beliefs.

    If this is the first thing we're finding out about Huckabee's willingness to bend rules, I hate to guess how many more will be found. It's always a candidate's status as front-runner that convinces reporters that it's worth it to spend the time digging.

    Also, although it's obviously wrong to have your state police force to sink an investigatory process, I wonder how often the Boy Scouts have gone and given an Eagle Scout badge to a 17-year-old who would torture an animal.

    Mike Huckabee is the only presidential candidate that holds hope for us antivivisectionists in raising awareness of the barbaric practices of useless and unnecessary animal experimentation. Huckabee speaks out boldly the fact that we will never fix our healthcare system until we FIRST put our efforts into health and wellness and is ready to tackle the greed of the pharmaceutical empire.

    I am an antivivisectionist and know that fraudulent and unnecessary animal experiments commissioned by the large pharmaceutical companies are their bread and butter, even when the results cannot be extrapolated to humans and thus not even hold up in court. And this Naked Empress pushes far too many drugs, rivaling only the dope pushers on the streets. The bible calls it pharmakia (Greek word) and it translates as "sorcery."

    Then we have Mitt Romney is so out of touch that he proudly announced to the world at last night???s debate that he wholeheartedly supports the pharmaceutical empire. Bad move Romney.

    For those of us in environmental and health and wellness movements, that's all we need to hear when choosing to cast our votes.

    Huckabee's stand on health and wellness and getting himself well and curing his diabetes II through natural means by changing diet, eating habits, and exercise will really help cut down on the unnecessary use of drugging the sick who don't need drugs, but a complete overhaul of their living and eating habits. I understand some drugs are beneficial in certain illnesses, but the truth is these pharmaceutical companies push far too much dope.

    Make no mistake about it, THIS speaks VOLUMES to us in the related environmental groups. But the only hurdle with that is most of us are democrats and therefore do not watch Republican debates. This is also why we are not hearing more on this issue at this time. The truth is the republicans have been absolutely horrible on environmental issues, and it wasn???t until Mike Huckabee came on the scene that really any of us ever got a glimpse of ANY presidential candidate speaking about such things. It is also what drew me originally to Mike Huckabee.

    Sure there will be resistance by factions in opposition to hunting, but all and all we know the pharmaceutical empire is a far worse problem and therefore will compromise for the better of the good. We cannot tackle all the factions at one time, but to me, abolishing vivisection is the BEST PLACE TO START. The Dems have been promising and not delivering because they are not tackling the root cause: TRUE HEALTH. When we concentrate our efforts on true health vivisectionists will be out of business forever.
