Huckster on Rush: Why Does Lying Come So Easily to Huckabee?

I happened to catch the beginning of Rush's second hour, today, when Mike Huckabee called in to "set the record straight" about opposing Mitt Romney.

West Virginia

The most easily identifiable lie was when Huckabee claimed that his forces and McCain's didn't conspire to steal the West Virginia caucus from Romney, who won the first ballot. Huckabee blamed the episode on Ron Paul supporters, as if their decision to support Huckabee had anything to do with McCain's supporters choosing to do the same. This assertion was such a thinly veiled and flimsy lie that I was shocked he even floated it.

I've searched the internet and been unable to find anything that corroborates the Huckster's claim. A caller to Rush's show helped set the record straight. Rush had apparently checked the record himself.

Mormonism

Huck also suggested that he didn't oppose Romney because of his religion. He attempted to brush aside a remarkable question he asked an interviewer during the primary of whether Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers. When Rush asked him about this today Huckabee attempted to suggest that he really didn't know. Now, as someone who was raised in a Southern Baptist church, I find this suggestion ridiculous. Huckabee was a Southern Baptist preacher. He was well aware of this tenet of Mormonism. What other religion might he have been confusing Mormonism with? That assertion is just pitiful. Newsmax covered the issue of Mike Huckabee's knowledge of Mormonism pretty thoroughly in December.

Tax Cuts

Huckabee then suggested that the reason he didn't like Romney was because he had a record of a tax cutter and Romney had mischaracterized him. Well, I've had a little experience covering Huckabee's record as a tax cutter. Simply put, he's not one. Huckabee raised our taxes by a net of half a billion dollars. Huckabee's made a habit of lying about his tax record, which I've documented thoroughly. HotAir.com cited me on several occasions when I pointed out his free-wheeling attempt to rewrite his tax record.

I guess it's time to do a short recap of Huckabee's record of lies and liberalism, especially on his tax record.

Easy With Lies

The overarching questions, though, are why does he feel compelled to lie and why does lying come so easily to Huckabee? He's made his image as a Christian leader, yet he's so ready to lie. He's not very good at it though. It's as if he's not aware that it's easy to check out what he says.

Rush Limbaugh obviously has one of the best research staffs in media. And he doesn't like being lied to, any more than anyone else, especially on the air. That happened at least four times today.

Ron Paul's supporters didn't defeat Romney in West Virginia. Huckabee knows a lot more about Mormonism than he made out. Mike Huckabee is not a tax cutter.

Milk Stabilization Gnomes Debates Raising Milk Costs on Consumers/Rewriting Laws of Economics

When this measure was being debated an unnamed member went to the Well in support claiming that it would not enable increases in the cost of milk. Members of the Stabilization Board have recently stated that it won't increase the cost to consumers because the increase won't be at the retail level...

Again, I call for more taxes and fees at this magical level where costs won't increase for the consumer or the producer in all areas. We should probably start at $1,000 per gallon so that we can help dairy farmers can become filthy rich. This will be an excellent turn of events since it won't costs consumers a dime.

I'm working on ways to increase fees in my own business below the retail level. I'm a little more ambitious. I'll probably raise mine by $1,000,000. I'm not sure who is going to pay them, but who cares? I'll be filthy rich in no time.

Talk about a no-brainer. Thanks to Doyle Webb for injecting a little common sense into the conversation.

Pelosi, Reid Lead Congress Into Do-Nothing History, Thankfully

Looks like this Defeatist Duo have established themselves as the biggest failures in congressional history. They've, so far, succeeded in passing the least legislation in decades. While I'm glad for this, I don't quite understand. I thought that the American people were demanding that the democrat party's liberal agenda be implemented... Right?

I brought you a story recently about the foolishness of democrat misdirection about increasing production. My friends at the American Petroleum Institute were kind enough to send me the following paper on the reasoning behind drilling or not drilling low producing wells.
