For Immediate Release

Statement from Governor Mike Huckabee


   "I'm pleased to announce my support of Dan Forest as North Carolina's next Lieutenant Governor, because like me, he believes in the sanctity of life, limited government, the Second Amendment, states rights, rule of law and self sufficiency. As I travel through out the United States, I occasionally meet people who stand out for the power of their convictions and their tireless efforts to advance the Conservative cause. Dan Forest is one of those people. I know firsthand the importance of having leaders in the state's capital. If we Conservatives are ever going to take back our government, on all levels, we must put forward principled Conservatives who are not just right on the issues, but also have stamina, energy and enough backbone to take the fight to the other side... and win."

     --Governor Mike Huckabee

This rogues gallery of RINO legislators and RINO former party leaders in NC should be enough to get any conservative to vote for Gurley.

However, the ''big name'' is even worse. Mike Huckabee, aka ''The Huckster'' may be solid on social issues but he is bad on most everything else, especially tax and spend issues. In 2008, some economic issue conservatives dubbed Huckabee a ''Christian socialist'' and this election year, the term that is being used for him on the major national conservative blog RedState is ''pro-life statist''.

Even worse, this primary season, Huckabee has become the ''anti-Tea Party'', consistently endorsing the RINO or establishment candidate in race after race where conservatives are backing a different candidate. Richard Lugar in Indiana and David Dewhurst in Texas are two major national examples. In North Carolina, Huckabee is already endorsing DC beltway lapdog Richard Hudson in the 8th congressional district runoff agaisnt conservative Scott Keadle, who is backed by numerous national conservative and Tea Party groups.

A Huckabee endorsement should be the kiss of death as far as economic conservatives are concerned for any candidate. Forest has told us who he really is by accepting Huckabee's endorsement. We need to get out and vote for Gurley.
