Yes, he does seem honest. He certainly has a way of coming across that way. But are things always as they appear? We have to concider the fact that Mike was rated #6 in Judical Watch's List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007. So let us be a generation that looks at the facts . By the way Hillary was #1 on this list, Rudy #5, Obama #8. judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007

I like what mike huckabee has to say, he seems honest.

I wish there was more time for Mr. Huckabee to detail some more of the benefits of the fair tax. I've read that anything bought that was used would not be taxed. I've also read that it would lower the prices of goods, which means although it looks like we pay this big 23% sales tax, it balances out because the those "embedded" 22% corporate taxes no longer have to be included in the price. I like the fact that he mentioned those who earn money illegally or who are paid under-the-table and such will pay their taxes at the point of purchase. That's all I know so far. I think www.fairtax.org has more details.

Mike Huckabee is an honest man who I would trust to be President.

Huckabee is awesome. Watching the Republican California Debate and he comes out on top.

For Dream, Dude, one comment on CFR that he was shanghai'ed into making to some stranger? And that's a position? I did search the internet -- it's all the same lame video. This is exactly what's wrong in this "tell me what I should believe" culture today -- everybody is moved by fluff and flash, and nobody wants to really KNOW and discuss what the vision and issues are that a particular person stands for. In the short amount of time given to any debate, I don't really want to know about his faith anymore; I want to hear that time be spent on what his vision is. But not in any of the discussion I've seen. On immigration? How about, close the border with a fence within 18 months; patrol it with personnel and cameras; and make every illegal leave and apply (and be welcomed back) legally. On taxes, yeah, two percent is better than 15 or 25; but that's not the world we've lived in for some time. The real question is, where do we go from here? If he was so bad in Arkansas, why would they have overwhelmingly voted him back in two and a half times?

Everyone thinks that due to the Fair Tax we will be charged 23% more on stuff. NOT TRUE. The embedded taxes in coorporations that are in groceries and other things today will be eliminated, so actually we would only be paying like 5% more. Plus we get our whole paycheck and don't have to pay into the IRS every year. GO MIKE!

Mike Huckabee, you Rock A LOT! http://www.mikehuckabee.com (Mike Huckabee.com) and http://www.domersforhuckabee.net (Domers for Huckabee)

Fair Tax? 23%? No way, how about 2%? They would still make billions and we could use our money. Stop the fed. Why sub out this job to some rich bankers and pay them interest when the Constitution allows us to make our own money. Lincoln made greenbacks during the Civil War and steered us away from central banks. Wake up and vote for Freedom.

This is for Durian, please stop being a tool. Research your candidate, how has he taxed his state? What is his real stance on immigration? Why, for the love of God, would he appoint a ***** from the CFR (google it) to a cabinet position? He is more of the same in every single way. Admit it. Time to grow up. Give all or perish in the gutter a broke ass Canamericano.

I believe Ron Paul won this debate. I really like his honest, direct views. He has a great website have you seen it? www.ronpaul2008.com great graphics. Be sure to vote in your primary. It matters!

Dear Gov Huckabee, I have been following your campaign for quite sometime as well as your experience as a governor. You have been quite succesful in bringing in jobs to the state of Arkansas. My question is, how would you stimulate jobs in our country as well as try to make sure we outsource for jobs in our own country and not off shore? Thank you, Governor Huckabee!
