Congress Votes for Greednew

Does Huckabee's Populist Rhetoric Disguise Royalism?new
After 15 years in politics, it is still hard to say whether there is any conviction behind Mike Huckabee's talk or he is just another Republican who subscribes to the doctrine that the best politics is to capture votes from the poor and money from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.

Mike Huckabee's Week that Wasnew
Huckabee's early devotion to the genial care and feeding of the national press paid dividends in his gaffe-ridden week. Many of the major news organizations treated the stories as little more than campaign blips or the work of opponents trailing in the polls.
