Huckabee's disclosed honoraria

See paragraphs 1 and 3 which reports that Mike Huckabee - supposed defender of gun rights - is taking money from an organization funding grants to promote more gun control. Hmmm. Am I the only one to see a little disconnect here?

So many questions 

What was the content of his speeches to these groups? 

What is his past record on these issues (not talk, but actuall votes etc.)? 

What is the history of this publication ( I read their info page, but do not have time now to look at those involved)?  Is this publication neutral, slanted right, slanted left, mixture of both, or just a bunch of trouble makers (kinda like the gossip mongers in every town that just look for the possible bad to cause trouble)?

Oh the fun of election time!

We will know in a week if Ia caucus goers choose Huckster or Romney. Remember, a large chunk of Ia caucus goers voted for Pat Robertson (2nd in '88?) so the Huckster may be immune to these last minute revelations in Ia. Or supporters may dismiss them as a smear campaign.

Third is the position to watch in Ia. If Fred comes in 3rd he'll probably hang in until the S.C. primary (altho I think Fred has to come in 1st or 2nd to become a viable candidate). If McCain or Guiliani come in third they will probably get more media exposure than the winner!

It also remains to be seen if the situation in Pakistan will influence the vote. Will Ia voters be inclined to vote McCain or Guiliani if Pakistan erupts into civil war in the next week?

If this is the best they can come up with, Huck is in good shape. Huck is big on health and health issues, and those organizations are closely linked to health issues. They paid him for speeches he gave on health issues not gun control. This makes him a less supporter for gun rights

In regard to gun issues only him and Paul are the only ones with consistent support for 2 Amendment. In regards to firearm ownership he is the only one who owns them and uses them, which makes him a person with vested interest in protecting firearm ownership.

I can see people attacking Huck on taxes and past immigration stances but gun-rights, please.
