Liberal tax-hiker backs DeVore

Conservative Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, who is running for Barbara Boxer’s U.S. Senate seat, just received an endorsement from a tax-hiking, soft-on-crime, big-government liberal — former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The religious right Huckabee is conservative on social issues, but his economics are hard left, and he used religious explanations to expand government and increase taxes while in Arkansas. Said DeVore: “I am truly honored to have the endorsement of Governor Huckabee and Huck PAC. The Governor and I share core values, not least of which is a rock-solid commitment to pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-growth policies. Support from Huck PAC’s motivated network of grassroots activists will be essential in winning this primary — and defeating Barbara Boxer in November.”
