Mike Huckabee Watch: Huckabee Flip Flops on Illegal Immigration and Cuba Embargo

Flap has to agree with Mark Halperin in that when necessary, former Arkansas Governor and Presidential candidate Huckabee simply acknowledges and repudiates his past statements and says he’s changed his views.

Look at this past weekend:

• Illegal immigration as depicted in the video above

• Homosexuality and AIDS Quarantine

• Cuba Embargo

Campaigning in Miami Monday with powerful Cuban American leaders, Mike Huckabee made this promise:

“As president, I commit that we would veto any legislation that would lift the embargo that is currently in place, because we must keep that pressure on.”

But that hard-line position on Cuba is an about-face for the former Arkansas governor.

In 2002, then-Gov. Huckabee wrote President Bush urging him to lift the embargo on Cuba, saying the U.S. position was harming agriculture and business interests, and providing Fidel Castro with a “convenient excuse for his own failed system of government.”

Huckabee admits he has now had a change of heart, saying he’s been educated by Cuban American leaders like Marco Rubio, the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, who endorsed his candidacy for president Monday.

This is the problem Flap has had with Mitt Romney: How do these Presidential contenders stand on the ISSUES?

They stand wherever it is POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT with their finger in the wind.

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney will say and do anything to get themselves elected. They do not deserve the GOP nomination for President.

Update:

Mitt Romney will be running negative ads against Huckabee starting tomorrow in Iowa.  One hypocrite on illegal immigration going after the other.

This will be a BIG GAMBLE for the Romney campaign.  Iowa voters are renown for disliking negative contrast advertising.

Also, it is apparent that Romney’s Mormon speech last week has not provided the bump in the polls Mitt was looking for in Iowa.
Stay tuned……
