From NBC/NJ's Carrie DannDES MOINES, IA -- In the midst of the nasty micro-attacks swirling around the Republicans' newly minted Iowa front-runner, Huckabee says that he's going to take the high road.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

SUCH AS YOUR FALSE TAX CHARGE-as cited below:&lt;br&gt;According to figures from the non-partisan Tax Foundation (based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Commerce), Huckabee’s term as governor (1996-2007) led to a modest increase in the overall State-Local tax burden for Arkansas: from 10.1% in the year he became governor to 11.1% the last year he served. In terms of overall tax burden (state-local-federal) Arkansas remained virtually unchanged--- from 30.3% (39th among the 50 states) to 30.5% (32nd place).

The last few days have started me really doubting his sincerity. &amp;nbsp;He's starting to look really pathetic. &amp;nbsp;He took the lead in Iowa- good for him. &amp;nbsp;So now his way to keep it is to make attacks subtly so that maybe they will be overlooked because of other candidates more direct comments? &amp;nbsp;Nice try, but the voting public is not (for the most part) that stupid.</description></item><item><title>Huck urges a positive campaign (sort of)</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/04/496257.aspx#501632</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:14:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:501632</guid><dc:creator>Katie, GA</dc:creator><description>Laurie, my dear, if you have had an abortion please go repent for your sin of murdering. There is no good reason to get one. I happen to know someone who was raped and is pregnant and yet she still knows that it would be wrong to kill the child. I applaud Huckabee on his pro-life stance there. Secondly, get your facts straight before you start talking about the rapist he let out. And PLEASE don't tell me that he isn't fit to be president because most people aren't.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Evelyn, I understand you are from Arkansas, however that doesn't give you the right to bash Huckabee either. Jimmy Carter might not have been the best president, but he certainly wasn't the worst. And I think it would be fine for Huckabee to follow in his example. No one is perfect.</description></item><item><title>Huck urges a positive campaign (sort of)</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/04/496257.aspx#502195</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:35:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:502195</guid><dc:creator>Joe, Tulsa, OK</dc:creator><description>I am amazed at how many people voice their opposition by parroting unfounded accusations. &amp;nbsp;Why don't you all do a little research. &amp;nbsp;Try to get more than one side of the story before acting so outraged. &amp;nbsp;Does the woman who accused Huckabee of violating the Sabbath by hunting expect him to stay home wearing a hair shirt and scourge himself? &amp;nbsp;Did the woman who said Huck was unfit to be president check into the circumstances of that parole? &amp;nbsp;Does she know it was a Democratic parole board appointed by previous Democratic govenors, and that Arkansas govenors do not parole or control the actions of the parole board? &amp;nbsp;Do a little checking before opening your mouths.</description></item></channel></rss>
