WND’s servers were overloaded after this announcement was posted on Free Republic, but when it cools down a bit, here’s the link.
Like most of you, over the summer and into the fall, I’ve been watching, listening, studying and praying about who could lead this country as our next president.
I won’t leave you in suspense. Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Newt Gingrich called Mike “very effective … if Huckabee can find money, he will be dramatically competitive almost overnight.” Bill Clinton called Huckabee the “only dark horse that’s got any kind of chance … He’s the best speaker they’ve got.” There is even a pro-Huckabee swell rising among the younger generation.
Chuck Norris endorses Mike Huckabee.
Go Mike!

Fair tax will have a tough time passing Congress.

You might want to rethink your support of Huckabee!
One of the biggest downsides that I can see (besides the rearrangement of people employed primarily to try to understand the existing tax behemoth) is that there has to be something in place prohibiting congress and states from adding to that tax burden.

Oh well, I guess I could find another line of work.

It would have a dampening effect on tax writeoffs.

Well, on the downside, it would have a tendency to shut down the IRS and put a lot of people employed in tax law out of business.

I would like someone a lot smarter than me to look at the Fair Tax from the standpoint of unintended consequences.

Huckabee’s support of the Fair Tax is a major point in his favor.

Profit? You dare use the P-word and Hillary in the same sentence?
You are a brave woman, indeed.

I would prefer somebody who actually had business experience in the private sector who knows what it takes to keep business profitable because, contrary to Hillary’s opinion, that is what businesses are organized for.
