Comments on: Huckabee Ramps Up Game In Early States

Politico: Will Make Largest Ad Buys In Iowa, New Hampshire And South Carolina

[wasatch01-2009]

Romney''s record is much better than Huckabee. Here is a little comparison:

Taxes Raised-
Huckabee: $500 million
Romney: $0

Commutations and Pardons-
Huckabee: 1000+
Romney:0

College tuition breaks for illegals-
Huckabee: For
Romney: Against

Unethical investigations-
Huckabee:6
Romney: 0

Mitt Romney is proven to be more trustworthy as a leader for this nation. I agree with njpaul2. Mitt Romney is a great leader by example. He is a man of great family values. Huckabee sure a good man too but his record carries "can of worms."

[winnersedge4]

Yeah:) Boston Globe make a good "mouthpiece" for Republican. You think? :)

[cpatter6]

Mitt Romney trustworthy?

He promised the people of Massachusetts that he would fight to protect abortion rights, yet he says that he came down on the side of life. Trustworthy?

He says he will appoint constructionist judges to protect marriage, but according to the Boston Globe "Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans, has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced, instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who have supported expanded same-*** rights"
-- Boston Globe 7/25/2005

Romney''s record is even more disturbing than Huckabee''s, just look into the Governor''s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, a taxpayer funded organization that promoted alternative lifestyles in public schools at the discretion of the Governor.

Huckabee may not have a perfect record, but please don''t pretend that Romney''s is any better.

It seems that Mike Huckabee has brainwashed some members of the GOP with his smooth talk and witty one-liners. The fact is the Huckabee has a terrible record and it simply not the best to lead the Republican Party. I mean here is a guy who gave out over 1000 commutations and pardons%u2014that is more than double the three previous Arkansas Governor%u2019s gave out combined. He rose over $500 million in taxes. He also supported college tuition breaks for illegal immigrants. All of this while Governor of Arkansas. Trust me, though he %u201Csounds good%u201D with his witty one-liners and smooth talk to stir the emotions%u2026Huckabee is not the guy for the GOP.

A Vote for Huckabee means:
1. Higher taxes so we can pay for college scholarships for the children of illegal aliens now in the country.
2. Getting a second job so we can pay for college for our own kids.
3. Still higher taxes so we can pay for college scholarships for the children of foreigners who weren%u2019t really thinking about sneaking into the USA, but now change their minds because the willingness of those Americans to pay for college for their kids is just too good of a deal to pass up.
Seriously, isn%u2019t this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place? The only creative thinking Huckabee seems capable of is raising taxes to pay for his expensive ideas. We Americans are the most generous people in the world, but we can%u2019t afford to hand out college scholarships to the children of the world. I want Huckabee to teach my Sunday School class, because that%u2019s what his training qualifies him for. I want Romney for president because his education and skills are legitimate and he brings 25 years or so of success using out-of-the-box thinking to turn things around. I do not believe that Huckabee%u2019s tax hikes, one-liners, and prayers will be enough to turn around the mess in Washington. My vote considers the future of my children and grandchildren, and it will go to Romney.

It is so disgusting that Mitt Romney is using the hard earned money of his base to pay for negative TV ads about the Republican base.

Mitt has already blown away millions of dollars of his base already. Sinking down in the polls and now spending more money of his base on disgusting cheap shot ads.

Meanwhile Mike Huckabee is out there making kind and caring TV ads during this Christmas season. Mike is a true authentic, humble and trustworthy person. A very down to earth person that all ordinary Americans can easily relate to.

Mitt Romney on the other hand can take his gobs of money and his big portrait of himself back home. Can you imagine if he is acting childish now, how he can handle the pressure as President? He would throw a fit and pay his lawyers to come in and make a decision for him.

Mitt Romney has got some nerve to bash others while he is the one saying he would first call his lawyers if a Nuclear bomb was headed our way. Call his lawyers, what is this kind thinking of? (Ummm protecting himself...)

Can you imagine if Katrina came in on his term, well of course he wouldnt make a tough decision and get help and finacial support to the stranded citizens, he would first get his lawyers involved to draw up a bunch of red tape. It would probably take those people 3 years to get anyhelp, why... because he is watching out for his ownself.

The only thing Huckabee wants you to think is that he is some how qualified to be president because he used to be a baptist minister and a so called true "Christian Leader". Answer me this;

*Would a true christian leader grant 1,033 pardons and commutations, including 12 convicted murderers?

*Would a true christian steal over $70,000 worth of furniture from the Arkansas governers mansion?

NO! Huckabee is a fraud that advertises his religion because where it matters, his record, he''s got nothing! Huckabee is a wolf in sheep''s clothing!

*Would a true conservative supported higher education benefits for children of illegal immigrants?

*Would a true conservative oppose a federal roundup of illegals from his own state?

*Would a true conservative oppose a bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote in his own state?

*Would a true conservative and his administration push for legislation to grant driver''s licenses to illegal immigrants?


What a phoney! What a fake!

I finally feel that the politics (or democracy) in US is finally hopeful after a candidate who can get his name and ideas in front of American PEOPLE without a deep pocket. I understand that not everyone will agree with Mike Huckabee. I only hope that EVERYONE who agrees with him will first get to know him and know that he is the right choice and then vote for him.

Go to YouTube and search for his speech. As low budget his campaign is, YouTube''s free service really pays off.

1. He is a social conservative.
2. He is a populist (believing a role in the government for the poor and needy).
3. He is fiscal conservative (after he left AR governor post, there was $800 million surplus).
4. He spent less than 10% than is rivals on campaign.

If you are a republican and you don''t know him, go listen to his speech and do your own research before casting your educated vote in the primary.

Go Huckabee Go!

Anyone interested in what Huckabee is really like face to face should try this funny (but it actually happened) column:

QUESTION: What do a Radical, Islamic Muslin Jihadist and a Right-Wing American Evangelical Nut-Job have in common?

ANSWER: They BOTH strongly support and religiously follow Mike Huckabee''s statement that "a wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband".

I have no doubt that Huck will bring these two groups together.

Women everywhere: beware of this Neanderthal.

I worked with a Jewish gentleman who said he didn''t mind that people had faith, just as long as they didn''t wear it on their shirt sleeves. I asked him if he was a participant in the rites of Judaism. He said yes. I then reminded him that the Old Testament priests wore scriptures on their wrists AND on their foreheads. I said, "that seems to me like wearing your religion on your shirt sleeve does it not?." He smiled ..then I politely asked him at some point if he could refrain from using the The Lord''s name as a curse word. I figured for someone who did not like hearing about Jesus, it was sure odd that he said his name in every other sentence. I said I honor the Name of Jesus and his Memory and would appreciate it if you would be more respectful in regard to his name. To his credit, he was a gentleman about it, and I never heard him use the Lords name as a curse again! Regardless of popular opinion you can have cordial conversations about religion even if you disagree. That is what america is all about =Freedom to discuss ideas without threat of persecution or reprisal.

[grassboots]

"First of all, he needs to keep his religion to himself and realize that Americans don''''t tolerate religious bigotry"

There is a oxymron if I ever heard one. Telling a person to keep his religion to himself IS religous bigotry.

Billy Blythe was as venal as both Bushes...Recognizing this, Barbara Bush said she considered him one of the family. Clinton looked good compared with Bush because he benefited from the first leg of the FED''s monetary expansion.

On another ''Clinton note'' go to WE ARE CHANGE''s website and hear about the Secret Service attempting to intimidate and threaten a young man who dared ask Bill Clinton an unscripted serious question. The young man was interviewed on ALEX JONES today--you can hear the re-broadcast at infowars.com...These thugs are sent out to keep people from showing up at events and asking embarrassing questions. Katie Couric could take lessons from this young man. That is what journalism is all about.

[antoniof123]

You got to look at like Bill Clinton. Yes, there is a difference between him and Bill.

Bill had brains and was a great President, while Mike is not that bright and is a joke.
