Mike Huckabee Has Too Much In Common With John Edwards
From Redstate:
I’ve just got to say this. I have a fundamental problem with Mike Huckabee despite really, really liking the guy. This sums it up:
“I am not interested in being the candidate of Wall Street but of Main Street,” he says. “CEOs get paid 500 times what the average worker does, but they are not necessarily 500 times smarter or harder-working, and that is wrong.”
Compare that to this [from John Edwards]:
“We have so many people who can’t see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one.”
And to this [also from John Edwards]:
Some CEOs have lined their own pockets while workers lost their jobs and families lost their savings.
Mike Huckabee is a good man. And he is a social conservative. But next to social conservatives, I’m willing to bet that the entrepreneurial class is the second largest voting block in the Republican coalition. And they do not like economic populism, which is what this amounts to.
In order for the GOP to be successful, social conservatives and economic conservatives have got to be able to find some common ground.
Mike Huckabee isn’t it.
