Hey Mike in KC. Can you tell me why Mike Huckabee does not talk about MCcain''s liberal policies but instead picks on another true Conservative like Romney? What is his agenda? Just curious because it doesn''t make sense.

[melinda0464]

Why does everyone hate the fact that Romney uses some of his own money to run for the Presidency? Why do we demonize someone who has worked hard to be successful? I would think it shows that he puts HIS money where his mouth is. He feels so strongly that he would be able to do good things for our country that he would sacrifice some of that money he earned to help out the American people. I think he should be praised for his willingness to give to a good cause and not critisized. Too many in our country now a days are greedy and don''t want to give of their own time and money or as the Democrats and celebrities want the taxpayers to pay for their pet projects. Romney is an honorable man who earnestly wants to bring his expertise to help our country get back on track.
Vote Mitt Romney!

Melinda:

Huckabee has never even eluded to the idea that a Mormon shouldn''t be president- where do you get that?!? I''ve heard countless media types questioning if a Baptist Minister should be president. "Is he going to try to impose his theological ideas on the whole country?!?" I lost count of how many times I heard that one.

And talk about religious discrimination... that''s what the media has been doing to Huckabee from the start. How many Huckabee introductions began: "Former Baptist Minister and Arkansas Governor". I''ve never heard any one introduce Romney as: "Mormon Bishop and Mass. Governor".

"Contrast Ads"? I like that! When you punch and punch at the other guy by distorting the facts and at time out right lie about your opponents accomplishments, it''s called "Contrast Advertising"?!? But when your opponent finally says "Enough is enough" and wipes the blood off of his nose and stands up for himself and gets in a few shots of his own it''s called "Attack Ads"?!? Is that how that works? I''ll have to remember that- thanks!

WOW! TALK ABOUT A STATEMENT! WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS SAYS?

Black Conservatives Rally to Urge Mike Huckabee to Stay in Presidential Race

PRESS CONFERENCE: Monday, February 4, 2008, 9:45 AM, National Press
Club, 529 14th Street NW, DC



WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A broad coalition of
black conservatives from across the country are holding a press conference
to urge former Governor Mike Huckabee to stay in the presidential race for
the Republican nomination until the Convention.



"Governor Huckabee should not be intimidated to stop his bid for the
republican nomination," states Don Scoggins, veteran GOP activist and among
other conservatives hosting the press conference. "The momentum of the
grassroots that propelled this party into victory is behind Mike and will
not stop fighting for him regardless of his bank account," also states
Scoggins, president of Republicans for Black Empowerment, a DC based
national grassroots organization.

Ok, since some have to bring up religion to denounce a candidate (going against the constitution), I''ll comment:

Some criticize Mormon involvement in polygamy. Mormons stoppped this over 100 years ago, but others seem to bring this up all the time. It is interesting that they do not state that Abraham was also involved in the practice and an Angel actually told Hagar to return unto him (Gen 16:7-11).

Some assert that Mormons are racist. We are not perfect people (and others in different faiths also have a checkered past). Nevertheless, the Book of Mormon says that Black and White are alike unto God. Joseph Smith also denounced slavery (which was far different than many others during his time). Joseph Smith also gave his horse to a man so he could buy his family out of slavery.

Please stick to the issues of the presidency and not some religious test for office.

Mitt Romney REALLY wants to be president! He has the receipts to prove it. Mitt Romney has lots of money and owns Bain Capital which bought out Clear Channel, the home of Hannity, Rush, Ingraham and Beck. Why? The job of the media is to sell us on Mitt and get us to accept his flip-flopping as misunderstanding. The role of Rush, Hannity, Beck etc is to urge us along while we''re running scared from Hillary and Barak into the arms of Mitt%u2014our Republican savior and champion of conservative values.

Mitt is as much a conservative as Hillary Clinton. He is a champion of gay rights and recently, for political gain, has decided to put aside supporting the killing of babies until his nomination is secure. Then he will take off his mask but by them the Republican party (accept for the moral conservatives) will be stuck with him and too ashamed not to vote for him.

Vote for Huckabee!

I have nothing against Huckabee, but I don''t think he is a serious candidate anymore.

Think about this: Romney has changed stance on many issues, but he has become more conservative over time. He won the voters summit in the summer, and everytime the issue of abortion came up in MA he sided for life. McCain has also changed his stance on these issues. He has become more liberal in many ways. The fact that he has been endorsed by NT Times, Rudy and Arnold (Two choice proponents) should tell you something.

Guys, this poll from Fox news today gives the lie:
(From http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/020108_election_release_web.pdf)

7. If John McCain and Mitt Romney were the only choices in the Republican
primary, how would you vote?
30-31 Jan 08
Republicans: McCain 62%/ Romney 29/ (Don%u2019t know) 6/ (Would not vote) 3

Not only is Huckabee NOT taking votes from Romney, but clearly a vote for Romney is actually a vote for McCain!!! (since Huck''s votes would mainly go to McCain if Huck dropped out)
