excerpt:

I generally believe the lives of candidates’ family members are off limits, and I cringe every time the media scrutinizes Chelsea Clinton or the Bush twins. But there are some aspects of history that are pertinent, and this is one of them. It’s especially relevant because it has policy implications on animal cruelty issues, and there are accusations that Governor Huckabee personally mishandled the situation. And for HSLF, any indication of a family tolerance for malicious animal cruelty sets off alarm bells—cruelty to animals is a sign of an empathic disconnect and is often an indicator of broader violent tendencies.

The story about Huckabee's son has been circulating on some blogs, like Dogster for the Love of Dog Blog and The Real Mike Huckabee, but new information has come to light. At the time of the camp incident, a local prosecutor apparently asked the Arkansas State Police to investigate whether David Huckabee violated state anti-cruelty laws. Newsweek broke the story this week that the former director of the state police, John Bailey, says that Huckabee’s chief of staff and personal attorney leaned on him to drop the investigation. According to Bailey, he refused to play ball, and was fired seven months later. It seems that the governor tried to stop the state police from investigating the cruelty charges against his son, and Bailey’s story is corroborated by the former FBI chief in Little Rock.

At worst, the governor acted unethically and obstructed the police investigation, but even at best, Huckabee and his staff took a “boys will be boys” attitude toward malicious animal abuse. http://hslf.typepad.com/political_an...esidentia.html

Given his tehocratic tendancies I was horrified at a Huckabee Administration from the start.

However,

Because he believes in helping children after they're born means the republican party bosses will never allow him to win the nomination.

That's the rub. A similar, albeit, less organized phenomenia occurs within the D.I.N.O. party [as REAL Democrats are an endangered species].

I don't know who in the Des Moine Register said to endorse Hillary because of her "experience" [eight years of being first lady not counting], but bare in mind that among (D)'s this paper has consistently chosen the candidate that loses the general election.
