Huckabee caught in another lie

Some of you who watched the debate the other night may remember this question:


FactCheck.org says Huckabee's response to the question is false:
Actually, the bill Huckabee pushed for in his 2005 State of the Union address did not apply only to "those children who had been in our schools their entire school life." It required only three years in an Arkansas high school to be eligible. And students did not have to be "applying for citizenship," but rather they had to sign an affidavit stating their intent to do so in the future. All students who apply for state scholarships must "certify that they are drug-free" and "pledge to refrain from alcohol" if they are under 21, just as Huckabee said. But they certainly don't have to be "an A-plus student." The state requires a solid "B" average (a 3.0 average on a 4.0 scale). And the state may reduce that to a 2.5 average if sticking with the higher requirement "would unduly reduce the number of low-income or disadvantaged students who would otherwise be eligible for the program." That's a C-plus average.

Jason, you really don't like Huckabee, do you? So many posts about him could make people think he really has a chance at the nomination.

How about a Rudy/Huckabee ticket? Almost makes me think of the Kennedy/Johnson ticket... appealing to everyone.

He made the ultimate political mistake. He answered the question which he knew was true with a lie. He needs to learn from the masters like Rudy. He never answers the question when he knows it's true... he just tells a joke or does this.

Mike Huckabee lying....I'm shocked.

What's next, is Mitt Romney going to flip-flop on an issue?
