Mike Huckabee, allegedly human:
"It sounds so good, and it's such a warm message to say we're not gonna deny anyone from a preexisting condition," Huckabee explained at the Value Voters Summit today. "Look, I think that sounds terrific, but I want to ask you something from a common sense perspective. Suppose we applied that principle [to] our property insurance. And you can call your insurance agent and say, "I'd like to buy some insurance for my house." He'd say, "Tell me about your house." "Well sir, it burned down yesterday, but I'd like to insure it today." And he'll say, "I'm sorry, but we can't insure it after it's already burned." Well, no pre-existing conditions."
I know we are in the height of mid-term election fever right now. Nonetheless, I think it's important to document the monstrous things the POTUS wannabes say, especially for a blog that calls the First-in-the-Nation Primary state its home. At some point soon he'll be here smiling and glad-handing.
