Doug Patton Bio
Huck And The Gipper - Part II
By Doug Patton
January 8, 2008

Page 2 of 2

But change purely for the sake of change is pointless, and Obama's promises are little more than warmed-over socialism, similar to that of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and the rest of the Democratic field. In fact, it's the same old collectivist claptrap the Dems have been preaching for the last forty years. As the Gipper used to say, it isn't that liberals don't know anything; it's just that they know so many things that just aren't so.

Mike Huckabee knows that absent a real message of conservative change, voters will vote for the counterfeit rather than the status quo, and that would be tragic for America.
