Politico: Republican's Decision To Pull Anti-Romney Ad Could Hurt Cash-Strapped Campaign

"What would President Huckabee do when faced with a bigger decision in the White House? How many of our tax dollars would he waste then?"

He''d spend 20 times less money than the the other guy. Are we seriously asking whether what 150K is compared to Romney''s millions in Iowa?

I am %u201Cdancing in the street%u201D watching the elite media slam Huckabee every chance they can. It%u2019s like watching someone who came from the wrong side of the tracks crash an elite social party in a well-to-do side of town.

Go Get%u2019um Huckabee!

Huckabee is just another member of the CFR(Council on Foreign Relations) just like Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Obama, Giuliani, Edwards, Romney, Biden, McCain, Richardson, and Thompson to name a few.
The CFR has hijacked the foreign policy of both parties and their main goal is to destroy American sovereignty and our constitution leading to the formation of a North American Union with Canada and Mexico.

We can''t truly know the motives here, but since they went ahead and showed the ads to the media, it''s a pretty sure bet that they were hoping the media would latch onto the "canceled" ads and show them for free. They might have been hoping that the "lost" $150 thousand would get them many dollars more in free air time.

Chuck Norris vrs. Mitt Romney... Who would win ?

"(CNN) -- Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris may be the political odd couple of this campaign season, but now Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is trying to use the action star to try to score points against the former Arkansas governor.

In a new Web video, "Roundhouse kick," the Romney campaign uses the format that"s become familiar over several weeks of anti-Huckabee spots. "Two good men, both into fitness. Both love Chuck Norris," says the announcer.

"But where do they stand on crime ? Chuck Norris: "give a presidential pardon to no one, ever." Norris subdues criminals with just an icy stare."

"And Mike Huckabee ? He granted 1,033 pardons and commutations, including 12 convicted murderers. Huckabee granted more clemencies than the previous three governors combined. Chuck Norris, Mike Huckabee. Now who deserves the roundhouse kick ?"

The ad comes just hours after a blogger at a Huckabee campaign event asked the martial arts star, "How much do you want to roundhouse kick Mitt Romney ?"

Norris responded, laughing: "No, I don"t roundhouse kick. I choke," reminding reporters of an interview with CNN"s Larry King where he"d criticized the Romney campaign and said he"d "just like to choke those guys out." He added later that "truthfully, I hate negative campaigning."

Baloney. Nice attempt to try and look sincere. Just like the innocent question of "Don''t Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers?" Gomer is sooo bad at this kind of thing that the thought of such a goofball in the Whitehouse is frightful. The press conference was about getting free playtime for this name-calling commercial. Why doesn''t he use the air time to explain the pardons instead?

The religion is a personal matter you cannot engage the "most democratic" country with you religious beliefs

[zefania-2009]

It is fair to say nobody is perfect. All candidates while campaigning try to appeal to voters and put their best "good looking mask'' on their face. But only one candidate is using religion to hide his real face. Quoting Scriptures to distort his opponent record and justifies his. Is he living in the Middle East or what? Doesn''t he know that to use Christ''s name presumptuously is an abomination? Huckabee is either an embarrassment to his religion or he is a wolf in sheep clothing hijacking a religion for a free ride for his political ambition. He even tried to hijack the media for free air time , what an embarrassment to his religion.
