Mike Huckabee’s newest book, “A Simple Government”

Cross posted at Thoughts from Granny T

February 22, is not only my birthday – it is also the release date for Mike Huckabee’s newest book: A Simple Government: Twelve Things We Really Need from Washington (and a Trillion That We Don’t!) Today I was part of “an exclusive on-the-record interview conference call” with former Governor/ former (and hopefully future) Presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee discussing his new book.

I support Mike Huckabee – because his views come closer to mine than any other political candidate I’ve found. I believe we need a Republican Presidential nominee that is willing to stand strongly on all three legs of the Republican platform: social, fiscal, and defense. Listening to Mike Huckabee on that conference call today convinced me even more that he is the one I want leading America.

Here are some reasons why – just from the conference call today:

* He was prompt. The call was supposed to start at 3:15 Eastern and it started at 3:15 Eastern.
* He realizes you can’t talk about the economy without talking about the family.
* He realizes that a great deal of our problem with the economy is because of failed families.
* He realizes the differences between the family’s responsibilities and the government’s.
* He realizes that if people would give “one dime on every dollar they make” to their own churches we wouldn’t need government programs and explained how the church he attended in Arkansas helped provide children with food for the weekend.
* He realizes there shouldn’t be a “disconnect between social conservatives and fiscal conservatives.” “All SoCons are FiCons – but not all FiCons are SoCons” and voting records prove it.
* He realizes our founders expected our Government to be administered as locally as possible and would be willing to get rid of the Department of Education so that could be more possible.
* He realizes that “education is the ticket out of the hole” that can turn tax takers into tax payers.
* He realizes the “common opponent is Barack Obama and not each other.”
* He realizes it is troubling that we are fighting these wars with guards and reserves that aren’t complaining because they are good soldiers. “We’ve worn them out.” They were supposed to be here to help at home.

Here is a link for a map of where you can get Mike Huckabee to autograph your copy of his new book and a link with a list of places he will be on tour and/or places where you can order it.

I haven’t received my copy of his book yet; but will be getting my birthday gift autographed at the book signing in Dubuque this weekend.

II didn't go from thread to thread taking shots at Romney while he was on his paperback tour. I will extend the same courtesy to Huck. I hope he sells a lot of books.

"Why I Didn't Run"
