Unforgivable Sin: Telling the Truth

Michelle Malkin took a shot at Mike Huckabee in the Boston Globe:

Malkin, addressing a media workshop, dismissed 2008 GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee, slamming him for suggesting during the 2008 primary that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was more protective of Wall Street than Main Street.

I love Michelle Malkin, but I wonder if, given her strong opposition to the bailouts, she ever considered the fact that Romney supported the $700 billion TARP/financial bailout and served as an advisor to McCain on the meeting that ended with McCain coming out and suspsending his campaign? Congressman Dean Heller (R-Nv.) said that Mitt Romney called him, urging a vote for the bailout (AKA TARP, aka Crap Sandwich.) Meanwhile, Huckabee strongly opposed the bailout.

How is supporting the $700 billion bailout NOT putting Wall Street before Main Street?

Huckabee isn’t a redistributionist, but if we’ve learned anything over these last six months, it ought to be that Wall Street is not necessarily fiscally conservative. Some folks on Wall Street are okay with government intervention as long as it helps them.

The Fiscal Conservative answer is let the forces of creative destruction clean up this mess, not borrow trillions of dollars from future generations to avoid the pain. And I think this recent turn of events has revealed who the true fiscal conservatives are.
