Huckabee Lauds U.S.'s Open-Door Policy
Stephens Media Group, Southwest Times Record
Arkansas' Governor Mike Huckabee is high on the list of Republican presidential contenders. He gave quite a speech to the national convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens meeting in Little Rock. Huckabee said that America is great because it has always opened its doors to people seeking a better way of life.
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," Huckabee said, citing the Golden Rule. "I have tried to govern that way, and it stands to reason that I really do believe that what made this great country so great and so unique is that it has always been a place for people to run to — and not run from.
"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...,"
The largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.
Why is Huckabee saying things to completely out of sync with national Republicans? Is he very dumb, or very smart? I vote for the latter.
