<strong>Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR):<\/strong>&nbsp; Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record.&nbsp; According to The Associated Press:&nbsp; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153[Huckabee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&nbsp; And what was Governor Huckabee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s response to these ethics allegations?&nbsp; Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down..<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;

If Huck were nominated to be the Republican candidate in 2012 and wins,&nbsp;he could be manipulated easily by the elites.&nbsp; As Mr. Griffin has oft quoted from Prof. Carrol Quigley&#8217;s book, &#8220;Tragedy and Hope,&#8221; the election of Huckabee would be to &#8220;throw the rascals out,&#8221; only to have more of the same, e.g.,&nbsp;bigger government, higher taxes, less personal freedom, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To have someone of the calibre of G. Edward Griffin on Huckabee&#8217;s show would give credence to a man who doesn&#8217;t deserve it and would be a great discredit to Mr. Griffin.&nbsp; As for me, I wouldn&#8217;t give one red cent to such a [foolish] scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Connie Ruffley, Co-Chairman<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>United Republicans of California (UROC)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>UROC&#8217;s motto:&nbsp; &#8220;Every Member a Lobbyist for the U.S. Constitution.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; From: Joe and Barb M.
