Mike Huckabee has supported at least 3 different Constitutional Amendments during his campaign for the Presidency. He wants a Constitutional Amendment banning abortions, a Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage, and lately a Constitutional Amendment denying citizenship to people who were born here if their parents are here illegally. He apparently also wants to [...]

When I first was inspired by Governor Huckabee I submitted this site to his blog roll. I let the campaign and my visitors know that I was not decided on Governor Huckabee but was leaning his way. They not only included me, but mentioned American Elephant on Huckabee’s blog. I was honored [...]

If you have followed this blog, you have seen a metamorphosis from a man who struggled which of two candidates to support to a man who only believes in one. Those two candidates were Governor Mike Huckabee and Senator Fred Thompson. The later of the two has my utmost support to this day. [...]

It is no secret that Governor Huckabee supports a federal smoking ban… or at least he did. He said so publicly this past August at an event with Lance Armstrong moderated by Chris Matthews. And he gleefully signed legislation in Arkansas banning smoking in indoor spaces. Just read this quote from 2007:
As [...]

Fred Thompson’s Campaign Manager, Bill Lacy, released this statement following the Michigan Primary. I’m glad he has the guts to articulate what many conservatives are feeling. We need to make the differences clear, if you pay attention only one man in this race is consistent with their ideals. Don’t we need someone [...]

Sports fans across the country stayed up to watch the LSU Tigers deny the Ohio State Buckeyes the national title (OSU also made it to the Championship game last year only to lose to Florida). While a large number of us were debating the BCS system and LSU’s two losses this season… the political [...]

Congrats to Barack Obama tonight. I just watched his victory speech, and I’ve got to give it to him, he can deliver a speech and carry an audience. I know its easier when you’ve won… but I was much more impressed with Obama’s speech than tonight’s other winner, Mike Huckabee. Granted I [...]

I worked from the laptop while taking in the Iowa results from my periphery. The Huckabee win is not a surprise, but the margin might be. Same goes for Obama’s win for the donkeys. I’m also not surprised by Fred Thompson’s third (or maybe fourth) place finish… that’s been expected for a [...]

If you are a political junkie, your adrenaline has been ratcheted up a notch and you probably found a way to watch the news at your desk. If you are like me, you’ve recently moved away from your desk, because the tv mounted to the wall is too distracting. I can’t exactly remove [...]

According to the most recent Rasmussen Reports’ survey, Mike Huckabee is surging in the polls and is now within just a few points of the top spot nationwide. Only time will tell if the surge in support for Governor Huckabee is sustainable. I have my doubts.
I was enamored with Governor Huckabee early on, [...]

That was my question. Not sure how long the video response has been available, I just noticed it today. I like the video answer much better than the typed one on his blog where the Governor mentioned ending some stated loan programs. The governor is right in the video… the market will correct itself. I [...]

An ABC News / Washington Post poll has Romney and Huckabee virtually tied in Iowa. I guess it takes more than money to buy votes in Iowa. Who knows… maybe citizens of the Hawkeye state are big wrestling fans?

I’ve been struggling as of late with just who to support. It is a blessing to have such strong Republican prospects for the nomination… but with such an important election ahead (aren’t they all), it is imperative that the decision of who to support isn’t taken lightly. If the choice of the other [...]

I haven’t blogged in quite a while. For the past couple weeks I have been trying to comply with an overbearing government and its knee-jerk political reactions to the growing crisis in the credit and mortgage markets. My brother and I own a small local mortgage broker. At our largest, we had [...]
