Dave Barry asks: And is there any TV show that Mike Huckabee will NOT appear on? Are we going to see him one of these nights on Deal or No Deal? Why does anybody, aside from Howie Mandel’s immediate family, watch that show?
And I say to Mr. Barry, why not? If Howie Mandel, whoever he is, and his family, are willing to listen to what Mr. Huckabee has to say, why shouldn’t he appear on their show? I wish Mr. Huckabee would make an appearance on my blog. I’d love to interview him and ask him a few questions.
Such as:
What do you really think about education and homeschooling? I’m seeing lots of prominent homeschoolers who support Huckabee and others who adamantly oppose your candidacy. What can you, Mr. Huckabee, say that will reassure the opposition that you will support parents’ rights to direct the education of their own children?
I’ve heard allegations that while you were governor of Arkansas you and your wife were the recipients of many, many gifts, “more than $112,000 in one year alone.” Are these allegations true? If so, was your governorship compromised by the gifts you received from businesses and individuals?
How would your “fair tax” proposal actually help me, the mother of eight children in a one-salary household in which that salary is solidly middle-class, but still hard to stretch to meet the needs of ten people?
Mr. Huckabee, you have said that the first step towards immigration reform is securing our borders. How would you secure our borders? (Please don’t tell me you’re going to build a fence!)
O.K., that’s four fair questions. I could probably look around and do some research and get at least partial answers to those questions. But if Mr. Huckabee wants to leave a comment . . .
As of now, I’m supporting Mike Huckabee for president because I like his principled stand on issues such as the right to life, tax reform, traditional marriage, and national security. Unlike some of the other candidates, he comes across as honest and straightforward. If you’re not Mike Huckabee, but you have the answers to any or all of my questions, feel free to leave a comment, too.
As for Dave Barry, I’d be happy to interview him, too. I could change the name and a few of the details, use the same questions, and probably get a laugh at the very least.
