Immigration 2008

Sanctimonious illegal immigration supporter Mike Huckabee will create an exploratory committee for a possible presidential run. Like "compassionate conservative" Bush, he manages to combine the bad side of "conservatism" with the bad side of "liberalism", mixing together social conservatism, corporatism, and support for "multiculturalism" and tying it together under a sanctimonious bow:

"My brand of conservatism is not an angry hostile brand. It's one that says 'conservative' means we want to conserve the best of our culture, society, principles and values and pass them on."

From this:

...the nation is being given a chance to make up for past racism by the way it handles the influx of Hispanics.

Huckabee, a Republican who is considering a run for president in 2008, said Arkansas has made progress on racial justice and has a fresh opportunity to do the right thing in the way it welcomes the growing Hispanic population.
