Huckabee urges states to back Common Core

“It’s disturbing to me there have been criticisms of these standards directed by other conservatives,” he said. “I’ve heard the argument these standards ‘threaten local control’ of what’s being taught in Oklahoma classrooms. Speaking from one conservative to another, let me assure you this simply is not true … They’re not something to be afraid of; indeed they are something to embrace.”

Has the letter been published? Does he give anything other than "you can trust me on this"? 'Cause, sorry Huck, nope!
 
Very minor issue compared to his massive support for tax and spending increases. Perhaps there isn't Democratic governor that he isn't more fiscally liberal than. He is the opposite of a libertarian as he is fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He is much worse then even Christie, fiscally. On the Nolan Chart, he would be near the tip on the bottom.

Any definition of "libertarian" that includes being socially liberal is a bad definition.

Fair enough, it is possible for someone to a a social conservative in their views and still be pro-liberty but I think Huckabee, based on his voting record, it even worse than Obama.

I'm actually kind of relieved to see this. I never watched his show, but I was kind of thinking that he was trying to position himself more to the right. Having something this recent and this bad will be good for us.
