Huckabee suggests Pelosi for alternative energy

I thought this was a great “quote” from a conference call with bloggers today from presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
While talking with the bloggers, Christianconservative reports that the former Arkansas governor said that current alternative energy plans probably won’t happen.

In the past, those plans have been in the 25 to 30 years range – “What that means is they never happen,” Huckabee said – if he’s elected president, the Governor will pursue alternative energy sources aggressively.
We could put a wind mill outside of the capitol, Huckabee said, so that every time Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi make speeches, “we should have enough power to run most of the east coast.”

Not bad, not bad at all.
Huckabee also touched on immigration and said he wasn’t a fan of the current proposed legislation saying if other Americans could get out of back taxes by simply paying $2,000 they’d come out “so far ahead.”
He also stood behind his support of the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax would eliminate the IRS and the current tax system and move our tax system to a system of sales tax, or consumption tax.
I am a huge proponent for this idea as well.
It will be interesting to see what happens next in the race. Some have suggested Sen. John McCain may pull out before too long, but we’ll have to wait and see.
