Mike Huckabee Hammers Bill Nelson

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, who moved to Florida last year, continued to take aim at Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

Florida needs a conservative United States senator, insisted Huckabee in an e-mail sent out to supporters on Thursday. By his own actions, it is clear that Democrat Senator Bill Nelson has been in Washington, D.C., too long.

You didn't want bailouts, you didn't want the stimulus package and you sure didn't want Obamacare. Thanks to elected officials like Senator Bill Nelson you got bailouts, you got the stimulus and you got Obamacare, continued Huckabee. Senator Nelson like all of the Democrats up for re-election in 2012 is a large reason our nation is going bankrupt. When given a chance to begin to redeem poor legislative choices, Senator Nelson voted against the repeal of Obamacare.

Huckabee has indicated that he would involve Huck PAC, a leadership group he is connected with, to defeat Nelson.

Florida and America would be better off with conservative senators like Marco Rubio in office, noted Huckabee, who was an early backer of Rubio back in 2010.
