Mike Huckabee has the most executive experience of any candidate running. He was re-elected Governor of Arkansas until his term limits expired. He was their Lt. Governor prior to that. He was voted one of the Best Five Governors in America by Time Magazine. He is the best communicator since Ronald Reagan. Mike Huckabee is for real and he is authentic!

Congressman Duncan Hunter has now endorsed Mike Huckabee!

US Rep John Linder who worked on the Ronald Reagan campaign gives a great comparison between the Ronald Reagan and Mike Huckabee campaign trails.

We voters will either decide that we will accept a candidate that the Washington Insiders choose - or we will vote OUR way - Mike Huckabee....

Mike Huckabee is a fine man, fully outfitted and entirely equipped to serve this nation and her people with honor and integrity. He has my complete support, grassroots participation and vote.

What a shame that the "established elite" have chosen to dismember him in such a distasteful and publicly demeaning manner with half-truths and blatant lies. It''s sort of like watching a mother cannibalize her own young.

If you''ve ever once complained about the moral direction this nation has taken in the last 40 years, then Mike Huckabee is your man.

If you believe America should grow her own food, supply her own fuel and energy, make our own clothes and automobiles and be responsible stewards of this earth, then Mike Huckabee''s your man.

If you believe we should treat all people EQUALLY and discuss ways to enhance our global civilization rather than "shock and awe" first/ask questions later, then Mike Huckabee''s your man.

Bring America Back to Basics!

I implore you to think for yourselves and RESEARCH Gov. Huckabee personally. He''s a born leader. www.mikehuckabee.com

in case some of you don''t know, Mitt Romney has a special room called the "War room" in which is has a paid full staff of internet bloggers and researchers. They are paid to comment every pro-Huckabee comment and article out there. The are writing what they are paid to write by Mitt Romney.

We all know Mike Huckabee comments are genuine and from his people. I seen that war room on the news. Think about that every time you see something bad about Huckabee and something good towards Mitt.

Vote Mike Huckabee for President. We like Mike!

Gee, it sounds as though Mr. Huckabee is deficient because he''s not out there spending other peoples'' money! Might be because, unlike Mr. Romney who amassed millions by gaming the tax system for clients (according to LA Times''s own Bob Drogin at http://snipr.com/romneyoffshore ) and fee-milking acquired companies prior to firing workers and taking them into bankruptcy, Mr. Huckabee was spending time working on problems of constituents in his state and educating himself about how the tax code should be replaced by the FairTax ( http://snipr.com/nextrung ) in order that opportunists like Romney aren''t given unfair advantage by virtue of an abstruse and corrupt tax code.

Mitt, Mitt, full of cash. ( http://snipr.com/romneyoffshore )
Will you let me keep my stash? ( http://snipr.com/stephanopoulosdebate )
Savings, Yes, but paychecks, No!
Just another politico.
Hope for tax reform, I see, ( http://snipr.com/nextrung )
Will be voting HUCKABEE! ( http://snipr.com/fthuckabeeonirs )

I AM FROM ARIZONA AND I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT McCAIN. McCain has always been a hero to me and still is. He represents me in Washington now. I respect him for his military service but he has not lived up to the values he has run on and I have been waiting his entire career to make real changes in Washington. I have waited a way too long time. Sometimes we all just go with the flow. It is hard to say this but I think maybe the liberal media wants McCain to win. That is why they are playing the assumption he will win. They know Clinton can beat him and if not the Democrats can play the same old games in Washington with him. McCain%u2019s time has past for me. I have followed and supported him his entire career but now I have to admit he can NOT make the difference. MITT ROMNEY GETS MY VOTE! He CAN turn things around. The spin in the media says he can%u2019t do it. Mitts past performance says he WILL. REGARDLESS of his religious beliefs, I can look past all the media hype and evangelical envy for I have seen this type of white wash my entire life. Huck is a good man not a good President.

Huckabee either doesn''t know what a venture capitol company does, or he is spreading lies. A venture capitol company (VC) buys a company that is failing (like Kmart was) and then restructures it and then makes it profitable. Yes, some jobs are lost, but instead of the company going bankrupt and all the people losing their jobs, some people still have a job and the company can now start a better business that is focused on growth and prospering. And, a VC company funds start up%u2019s, thus increasing jobs. Bain Capitol during Romney%u2019s time there started start up like Staples, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Brookstone, Domino''s Pizza, Sealy, Guitar Center and The Sports Authority. That seems to me to say that Mitt Romney is the guy made it happen.

The fair tax plan will never materialize. If by some miracle the IRS got dissolved there would be a huge recession that would follow, because the vast amount of people would cut spending because everything would cost at least 23% more. It will let those who can pay a lot off the hook and leave the middle class and those just above the poverty line to take the brunt of the burden. The fair-tax shows how much Huckabee knows %u2013 NOTHING.

In the New York Times today (The Caucus; "Republicans Lost in Space"), Matt Bai reports that Bill Bradley, although endorsing Barack Obama, said, "I like that Huckabee." There was some laughter in the audience but Mr. Bradley was serious. "I thought Huckabee was a good governor," he said. "He got a lot of things done in Arkansas that Bill Clinton couldn''t." Thanks for that observation, Bill Bradley!! Mike Huckabee is the real deal, folks. Take a look at his record and decide for yourselves! In 2005, Governing Magazine named him as one of its "Public Officials of the Year". Mike was elected to a full 4-year term as govenor in 1998, attracting the LARGEST percentage of the vote ever received by a Republican gubenatorial nominee in Arkansas, then re-elected to another 4-year term in Nov. 2002. Huckabee cut taxes and fees over 90 times during his ten and 1/2 years as govenor, saving the Arkansas people almost $380,000,000! And, when he left office, Arkansas had over $800,000,000 in state surplus!
You can also go to: http://www.fairtax.org/site/Ecard to figure your own savings if we had the FAIR TAX Mike wants to implement as president.
Mike is down-to-earth; honest, a conservative candidate with high moral values and principles and an excellent communicator! He has more experience in a state(Arkansas) governor''s position than any other candidate! Join the millions of us who already know and believe he is the only one who can truly lead America! GO MIKE!!!

Mike Huckabee has more character in his little finger than the other candidates do in their whole bodies. He also has at least 20 IQ points above any of the other candidates. His ideas will appeal to all Americans. He is the only Republican who can defeat the Democrats.

The conservative media have dug their own grave with their intensely hostile response to his campaign. They are really a bunch of suicidal morons. They will get what they deserve.

Wow!

Tell me those statements were not the words of our future 44th President of the United States!

We are, more than ever, rallied behind Governor Huckabee! Mike Huckabee is the candidate that comes from the people, and truly for the people of our great Nation.

When I listen to Governor Huckabee speak, it makes me proud to be an American!

Go Huckabee! You''re the only true, consistent conservative left in the race!

Fight hard against the lies about you record. Make sure to take every opportunity to counter the pundits'' consensus about you being a "liberal" or even a "socialist."

Is the Club for Growth God? Do they not make mistakes? Do they not have agendas? Question some things, research and think for yourselves, people!

Overwhelmed by their access to voters, the elite media talk show hosts are unknowing splitting the conservative vote, as they did with Gerald Ford, Bob Dole and Ross Perot, rather than allowing conservatives and moderates to naturally come together and elect a conservative candidate without the brain washing and negative slandering from the elite media talk show hosts.

As the talk hosts continue to mislead and split the conservative party votes the liberal candidates prepare to win.

Wake up conservatives; ignore %u201CRush%u201D and the other %u201CRush%u201D want-a-bees. Support Mike Huckabee for President and send a message that you have a brain, by saying no thanks to their propaganda.
