I admit it. I was skeptical when I first started reading the article.
"So...okay, the boy possibility did it, we don't know if he did...how does this reflect on the candidate himself at all?"
But then I read the statement he gave on the statement a former employee gave to the press. And then I said, "Oh."
You gotta admit, that looks a little bad.
More concerned about the legality rather than the fact a dog was killed and his son mighta don' it? My parents woulda be mortified!
Gotta say, I didn't know what to think about Huckabee...but what I've seen so far, doesn't impress me..norstrike me as something I'd like. But what do you guys think? I'd like to hear your opinions.

Huckabee speaks well, seems to be comfortable in his skin and looks presidential. But that doesn't make him a true leader.
If this story is true, he should be more concerned about the mental state of his son and less about his presidential run.
I my opinion, anyone, child or adult, who could kill a helpless animal has the potential to do harm people. I'm not talking about game hunting here, I'm talking about killing a dog or cat just because you can. I've seen this before. The next thing you know he'll be chasing after the neighborhood kids with a lead pipe. PARENTS BEWARE!

As I've been hearing, the more scrutiny Huckabee comes under the more people are not going to like what they see. It seems that everything that comes out about him, Huckabee has an excuse for but this one is huge, in my opinion, especially with the recent publicity about the Michael Vick case. People in general find it very hard to accept animal cruelty and trying to use his position as governor to cover up a crime like this is inexcusable. My opinion is that he's a dangerous man dressed in a preacher's cloth.

Another shady character who wants to be president...not new, but definitely not good.
Huckabee's name is everywhere, I think more people should do some digging and find examples like this before they blindly vote.
I wonder if the mainstream news reported this on tv yet? If not, I wonder why.

Okay, so it has gotten to a good number of people's tv's then. That puts my mind a little more at ease.
Thanks for being as observant as ever Annie, your knowledge never ceases to amaze me ^_^
