The CfG Strikes Again

Oops, looks like someone forgot to tell Mike Huckabee that thou shalt not do anything that challenges GROWTH for it is a jealous and demanding god.

That's right, kids! That nuisance PAC we all know and loathe, the Club for Growth has decided that Mike Huckabee is guilty of---wait for it---speaking to unions. Their bill of indictment reads thusly:

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has taken to calling himself a “fiscal conservative,” but who ever heard of a fiscal conservative who raised taxes and spending through the roof while governor of Arkansas? Mike Huckabee is also calling himself “a different kind of Republican,” but that’s just a codeword for a big-government Republican who wants to cover up his tax-and-spend record with folksy talking points and one-liners. Sorry Tax Hike Mike. No dice.

Their full website on the issue is located at Tax Hike Mike!.

Enh, whatever. The CfG usually seems to get involved when a candidate fails or has failed to genuflect towards its hat-on-the-pole of GROWTH and whatnot. I don't have time for Huckabee---one President from Arkansas is enough, thank you---so it's not really my concern, but it's nice to see that the CfG can get back to its usual fratricide now that the FEC's suit against it may be over soon.

Tip of the Wisconsin hat to David Freddoso over at the NROC.

And yes, the layout is still very strange-looking. I'm trying to figure out the system I've implemented.
