Mike Huckabee Huck PAC: Where'd the money go?
Posted by Max Brantley on Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Politico takes a look at Mike Huckabee's "leadership" PAC, which raised almost a half-million bucks last year and didn't give a dime to another candidate. It paid money to staff and others, including his daughter-in-law, and helped Huckabee get the Huckabee message out (which essentially is taken from Jesus — Mike Is Coming!)
Interesting that Politico focuses on how the PAC has gotten small donors to approve automatic charges, to the surprise of a few of them. At least one seemed happy, however, to view it as akin to tithing.

Yes, Mike is coming!
We're coming to preach the good news that Christ lives in the heart of every Republican in America.
Tithing? Indeed. Where do you think your regular church tithes go? To the preacher, of course. That's why there's special fund drives when the church roof needs replacing or new pews are needed. The regular tithing goes to the minister of the flock. I continue to minister in a different format and place but it's still the Lord's work.
The people of America have embraced us with the same devotion and love that the people of Arkansas bestowed upon us for so many years. Hunk-a-hunk of burning Jesus Love! Plug me in Janet I'm ready to Rock!

All it would take is for someone with authority to dig around in Huckabee's affairs since we first heard his name and it wouldn't be long until fat boy would be playing guitar in a prison band. Our problem today is that there are so many Huckabees out there it causes paralysis for those who are supposed to be protecting our population from hungry hungry hippos.
Huck was born to rake in money, he's a chubby shark constantly trolling the sea of money. Jesus loves you....quick pass the damn plate! Huck knows God wants him to be rich and believes that extremism in the accumulation of money is no vice! And reminds us also that moderation in the pursuit of money is no virtue!
Look around....we're living in a Mike Huckabee America where the terminally greedy masquerade as nice people while happily breaking any rule that keeps them from sweeping all the money off the table. Investigate Mike Huckabee all the way back to his days of being a paid spy on Hillary for the big tobacco companies and they'll be a For Sale sign in front of an ugly new Florida coastline mansion.
What a racket. Take Jesus' free words and parlay them into a Fox show, a mansion in Florida and an UNENDING flow of campaign money.
Greedy hypocritical folks like Huck sure taint the words of a liberal community-activist like Jesus who consistently turned his nose up at worldly riches.
For Huckabuck, once he got a good taste of OtherPeople'sMoney, he was hooked.
Like an alcoholic on their first binge or a junkie shooting up the first time there was no turning back for Huck.
I'm sure someday when America returns to its senses we'll have a 12-Step program for people in Huck's condition.
UGHH..just when you thought this golden idol stroker has said or done enough, he fills our cup once again with something swarmy. When cue dream sequence) do folks in his own party or church affiliation scream enough?
What greedy, un-Jesus like poeple would let this slime continue to blather on without holding him accountable..on this and so many other things he has done over the years?
I hope the chickens, one day. come home to roost. As I hope to be there with a paddle and spank this clown into a holding cell. Then, and only then, will he be able to meditate while talking directly to God...and his prison buddy Bubba!
