Both are anti-business, anti-Wall Street, and anti-CEO. They would employ government regulation, and perhaps taxes, to work against free-market forces.Both are anti-trade. Both are tax-and-spend. (Governor Huckabee has tried to inoculate himself against the tax charge with his Fair Tax national sales tax idea that would go nowhere in Washington.)
Oh darn. I am instantly reminded of what Ross Douthat said earlier in the week:
...many social conservatives don't give a tinker's dam what the Club for Growth thinks about Mike Huckabee's record.
Indeed. Why the animosity, you ask? Ross Douthat said it earlier in the piece:
[T]hat many tax-cutters and foreign-policy hawks, for instance, would happily screw over their Christian-Right allies to nominate Rudy Giuliani
I can't remember the last time I considered a CFG and/or Kudlow endorsement as a positive factor where any policy or candidate was concerned. They could largely care less about my particular issues, and the favor is returned.

N.B. I may yet be proven wrong about Huckabee. I am not, however, particularly expecting it.
