Huckabee: A Vote for Romney is a Vote for Hillary

(CBS)

From CBS News' Joy Lin:

TULSA, OKLA. -- Mike Huckabee has found a new way to deflect the headwinds of conservative pundits who, with Mitt Romney, have said a vote for Huckabee would be a vote for John McCain.

At a press conference following an enthusiastic rally, Huckabee said, "A vote for Mitt Romney may be a vote for Hillary Clinton. Because the fact is I've got a far more conservative record than Mitt Romney ever dreamed of having. Where people can come up with branding him a conservative is really, I think, tantamount to requiring an extrarodinary amount of imagination."

The candidate was much more diplomatic yesterday, saying, "a vote for me is a vote for me. A vote for Romney is a vote for Romney. A vote for McCain is a vote for McCain. Anybody who suggests otherwise is trying to put a spin on it."

Huckabee is making a concerted effort to reverse the effort to push him off the field. Conservative commentator Sean Hannity recently said he would vote for Romney, as did former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn.

Huckabee said any "MBA running Bain Capital" would look at Romney's campaign and see how poor the returns were. He used the Bain Capital reference to target a sensitive aspect of Romney's campaign: the "staggering amount of money" Romney has used to finance the campaign for second place in New Hampshire and Florida.

Huckabee suggested Romney would have cut losses and dismembered his own campaign by now if he were a businessman evaluating its performance.

"I know what he did when he ran companies like that. He broke them apart, turned people loose and fired them. And sold off the companies. Rather than suggest that we end our operation, I'd say maybe its time for him to turn out the lights and lock the doors."

Huckabee often points to the huge monetary inefficiencies in Romney's campaign as a warning of how he would spend the federal treasury.
Asked what voters should glean from the way McCain had to borrow money to save his campaign, Huckabee was more generous.

He said McCain "has been part of a Congress that has borrowed a lot of money and that's why we have a lot of debt. But I also think that he's made some concessions. He made a lot of cuts on his campaign staff back when things were going tough for him."

"He doesn't go around bragging he knows more about running the finances than anybody else either," Huckabee said in another jab at Romney.

Huckabee, stop whining. If you are in the race, then act like it by attacking McCain who is clearly the frontrunner at this point. If you are only serving as McCain''s minion, then I would join thousands of others in requesting that you step aside so conservative principles can win by nominating Mitt Romney.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota,
points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Population of counties won by:
Gore = 127 million
Bush = 143 million
Square miles of land won by:
Gore = 580,000
Bush = 2,2427,000
States won by:
Gore = 19
Bush = 29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore = 13.2
Bush = 2.1

Pray Romney can win this election. He is the only one that Might be able to. Soon. NO CONSERVATIVE will be able to win at all, and then the collapse of America will begin in fullest. It may have already started. America will then have to accept a dictator with no rights whatsoever.

More numbers... and why brining poor uneducated people into this country is a BAD idea...even if they "do the work no one else will do" which may not be true. The Democrats are in a good position to win not because of war or anything else but because people have discoverd they can vote themselves other people''s money...

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that
voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who
promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every
democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed
by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history,
has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always
progressed through the following sequence:
From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

A lot of Conservatives in Florida are in shock that things went to McCain by about 6%. Well 17% of independents voted, so those of you in Florida who are being castigated for giving it up to McCain, just remember that Florida hasn''t had a fair election in some time. It kind of sucks where the election process is flawed (ok rigged).

Vote with Tancredo and vote Romney!

[skicolorado2-2009]

Personally, I vote for Romney for one reason. Immigration. Because I am a numbers guy. If illegal immigration is not stopped cold this year, we will reach a point of no return for conservatives and republians without appealing to more illegals and diluting the vote even more. The democrats have the illegal vote. Just like 17% of the electorate is under investigation in Florida for having been independent and still voting in a closed primary, the numbers of illegals voting in an election after a while means the whole election process is compromised. America is compromised. Huckabee, McCain, Bush, none of them want to do anything about it.

Here is the math on fund raising to date.
Hillary Clinton Leads
$115,652,361

Barak Obama
$102,170,668

Mitt Romney
$88,499,686

John McCain
$41,102,178

Ron Paul
$28,101,264

Mike Huckabee
$8,986,532

I will admit that it is a miracle that Huckabee is even still in this thing, but once he has done his best to take away votes from Romney he will have to drop out.

It is kind of like the United States Army and Marine Corps fighting Hugo Chavez'' Venezuela. It sounds good for the peasants of Venezuela in a speech, but once the fight begins it soon becomes little contest. I don''t care how many snipers you put on the roofs. You will eventually be crushed by the numbers, oranization and training. I hope for Romney because it is all we have and he is the smartest of all the candidates (perhaps combined) and I don''t mean that in a bad way. He really is a smart man with a great education and much experience in crunching numbers.
