One Less Reason To Support Mike Huckleberry For President?

Yesterday I blogged about a story appearing in the Washington Times that indicated that Mike Huckleberry had made it known to Jim Gilchrist of Minuteman Fame announcing that he would make his first order of business as a newly elected president scrapping the ridiculous anchor baby amendment to the constitution. The one that single handedly gives all illegals a major incentive to make a run for the border and get pregnant as quickly as possible upon doing so.

It now appears that Huckleberry is denying that he made such a statement, even after Gilchrist went to great lengths to make sure he didn't misquote or misrepresent what the Huckster was telling him because he like I and many others couldn't believe that Huckleberry would want to piss off the illegal voting block by making such a statement.

And sure enough, he is doing a major backstroke on that statement and hanging Gilchrist out to dry covering his own ass like a good duplicitous politician must do when they promise something they can't deliver and might cost them some votes from the newly coveted "Taco Bell Make A Run For The Border" constituency.

WorldNetDaily: Huckabee denies anchor-baby challenge:

WorldNetDaily: "A Washington Times story cited his top immigration adviser, Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, saying Huckabee promised him he would force a test case to the Supreme Court to challenge birthright citizenship and would press Congress to pass an amendment.

But Huckabee denied it.

Gov. Mike Huckabee issued a statement today denying a report that he wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens.

"I do not support an amendment to the Constitution that would prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens," the former Arkansas governor said. "I have no intention of supporting a constitutional amendment to deny birthright citizenship."

The Time said Gilchrist also received a promise from Huckabee that his first act as president would be to pardon imprisoned Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are serving 11- and 12-year sentences for shooting a fleeing drug smuggler at the Mexican border.

Gilchrist said Huckabee explained his positions in a half-hour conversation last week while campaigning in Iowa.

"I read back my notes to him twice, and I told him I did not want to put words in his mouth," Gilchrist told the Times. "The guy looked me right in the eye." continued

Politicians are very good at that, particularly those Arkansas Governors it appears. After all, who could forget Slick Willie wagging his finger as he looked America straight in the eye and said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms Lewinsky"....

I truly hope that everyone wakes up to the Huckleberry phenomenon that is a left wing media creation and is the Democrats wet dream for the republican nominee I'm sorry to say. You know if the media is behind him something is wrong, terribly wrong.
