Huckabee has supported his actions by explaining that his governing philosophy included a willingness to give people “a second chance.”

Ron Paul Record

Paul has gone from advocating for abolition of the Border Patrol in 1988 to locking down the border and beefing up the Border Patrol, giving him a 100% rating from the anti-illegal immigration group Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR). His voting record on international free trade is mixed at best – he has a 76% [...]

It really came down to Mike Huckabee and John McCain. But I really felt that John was the one that could best compete and win ultimately in the fall of 2008.
I think he’s the most qualified person running now, ready to be president. He’s ready to be commander in chief. He has foreign policy experience. [...]

Huckabee Sounds Like Ron Paul

“American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out,” Huckabee said. “The Bush administration’s arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad. My administration will recognize that the United States’ main fight today does not pit us against the world but pits the world against the terrorists.”
