Mike Huckabee thinks that "big tent" conservatism will destroy the Republican party.

Mike Huckabee is quickly becoming one of my least favorite public figures. I personally think that a Huckabee presidency would be worse for the U.S. than just about anyone else, including Palin. The man is an unapologetic Christian extremist and yet countless people are willing to look the other way simple because he has a certain gentle charm. This makes him plenty dangerous . It is...

Of all the deranged criminals in the country, Maurice Clemmons - granted clemency by then-Gov. Huckabee of Arkansas almost a decade ago - recently murdered four police officers in Washington state.
