Comments on: Huckabee: A Vote for Romney is a Vote for Hillary

[skicolorado2-2009]

When you cant win on politics you turn to religion. That is the best Huckabee can do. When you can''t run on a conservative record you call yourself a POW.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has won the Maine caucus.


In a statement issued by Romney Saturday night, the Republican presidential candidate was thankful for Maine''s support.

"Tonight, they have made their voice known and have endorsed our conservative vision for a stronger America. Like many Americans, the people of Maine are tired of Washington promises made but broken," the statement said.

The win in Maine adds to the other states Romney has won in the 2008 election cycle thus far: Wyoming, Michigan, and Nevada.

Romney''s main competitor in the upcoming Super Tuesday elections is Senator John McCain of Arizona.

Despite gaining the endorsements of both of Maine''s senators, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, McCain placed a distant second in the state''s caucus.

We all know whom the media wants you to vote for by the coverage. Wasn''t it surprising how meaningless was the discussion between McCain and Romney and that only Huckabee and Paul came up with the good points and meaningful commentary? McCain is too much a soldier (a one trick pony, without the experience running a state government), Romney has his vascilating head in the clouds and will say anything that is popular to get the vote. He is out of touch with anyone outside a country club. Unplug yourself for a moment (we all have to do this) and review all the candidates websites before making any decisions. Be free of the Media "Matrix" and be a free thinker! Huckabee and Paul are being systematically ignored. Don''t go with the flow. I vote for Huckabee for his 10 years successful performance as a fiscal conservative in Arkansas (turning around the economy and ending with a large surplus) and his willingness to commit to a timetable for energy independence, a timetable for completing a security fence with Mexico, and while he won''t just up and leave in Iraq like the Democrats propose (compounding our mistakes in the past), he knows that now that Bush got us into this situation, there has to be an intelligent way to get out that will be the best option for future security and the reputation of the United States (which is in sorry shape). His concern for the environment and the freedom of families to dictate how to educate their children with home schooling.

[skymountain3]

Just to add. I''m voting for the candidate who will be able to work with Congress in getting something done in Washington and not someone who will **** off have the country and be ineffective.

[skymountain3]

I realize that no candidates who are running for president, Democratic or Republican, are perfect. They will never be perfect. But, the anserwer to who one should vote for is unfortuanelty based on the old saying "I''m voting for the lesser of the evils"

Just to add to NewIdeas1''s comments below:

Using Article Six (prohibition of a religious test in the third clause) is a disingenuous effort by Romney supporters like Jay Sekulow to guilt people out of considering all aspects of a candidate''s character and what drives his policy decisions. Article Six is about oaths of office, and not about the individual thoughts of a citizen in the privacy of the voting booth. If Article Six were intended to serve as a basis for how we make our voting decisions, each citizen would have to undergo a thogough examination of his or her motives and intents to ensure compliance.

How stupid would that be?

The mention of Judicial Watch got me thinking about that. A boat load of once conservative groups have bailed on their supporters and signed on to the Romney effort.

The posts from both sides are dispicable and full of lies. As a former Mormon, I know church members do not take "blood oaths" or any of that nonsense. Is the church pro-choice? Yes, as SoCons would recon pro-choice. Is the Mormon church trying to lobby LDS legislators in favor of illegal immigrants? According to the Salt Lake Tribune they are.

But if we assume Romney will bow toMormon leadership on important public policy issues, isn''t it reasonable to assume that Huckabee would consider his own faith in making those same decisions?

I''ll grant that the LDS church is much more high control in reference to the conduct of its members, but they didn''t step in and ex-communicate Mitt when he was in Massachusetts promoting the gay agenda or expanding government funded abortion rights.

If we look at both candidates based on what they''ve actually done, and not what opposing campaigns post on WikiPedia for the purpose of smearing their record, you''ll come to the conclusion that Huckabee is a Social Conservative and Romney is not. You''ll probably also see that Huckabee has a desire to help people across the economic spectrum while Romney is focused on corporate business interests.

There is enough TRUE information about Romney to warrant serious concern among conservatives. There is enough TRUE information about Huckabee to be of serious concern to moderates.

Deal with issues -- and facts -- and the Republic is secure.

Sorry, but if Romney supporters are going to get ugly about Huckabee''s record then here you go.

[well-spoken]

Hi Newideas1,

You are kidding me right? This is political manuevering at its sickest level ... at least Romney is trying to expose it rather than remain silent and get steamrolled to the detriment of his supporters.

If you want something to boil your blood ... read this one:

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/behind-the-numbers/2008/02/parsing_the_gop_independents_1.html

This is pure political strategy orchestrated by nothing more than an old line politician such as McCain.

And how about the sleaze of it all having Arnold Schzngr leak to the press about supproting McCain DURING the CA debates?

Took away from the attention that Romney blew out the debate with McCain.

Folks that is what politicians do ... and Huckabee, McCain, and Giuliani are all long-standing, good friends that are orchestrating this farce.

Based on the numbers a vote for Huckabee is truly a vote for McCain.

IF YOU DON''T WANT A LIBERAL IN OFFICE, ROMNEY IS REALLY THE ONLY SHOT WE HAVE.

Politics are sickening.

Make your vote count and vote Romney.

[well-spoken]

HUCKABEE A CONSERVATIVE ... RIGHT!

I think that you will all find this very interesting. In 1999 Mr. Conservative Huckabee sponsored a $500 a plate luncheon to raise funds for .... Giuliani. The reference is posted on Wikipedia and if you need the source document:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE2DA113EF935A15754C0A96F958260

C''mon already ... let''s see, Giuliani immediately pulls out of the race after FL ... to the benefit of McCain .... and Huckabee stays in the race ... to the benefit of McCain. These guys have been in bed together on this for a long time.

A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain!

HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS ... STOP BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ... VOTE ROMNEY BEFORE YOU PUT A LIBERAL IN OFFICE.

[giantrobot2]

Mike keep up great work! We are supporting you all the way thru this.

Mike Huckabee reminds me of a great marathon distance runner. While other leaders in the race drop out from the shear fatigue, Mike keeps hanging in the race like a real runner does to the end.

While the other runners have gold plated shoes on that cushion each blow, Mike has his worn out Dollar store running shoes still on with holes in it keeping up with them with shear guts and determination.

While others are out there with the spotlight on them as the perceived winners, Mike is hanging on like a world class runner within striking distance.

Mike Huckabee is in the Olympic Race like underdog runner American Bob Schul was in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics on that rainy day on the track. This is Mike Huckabee in the race to the finish. Watch this video:

Keep up the great work Mike!!!

Go Mike Go!!!

[newideas1]

Am I alone in having gone from viewing Romney as a reasonable (though not my first) choice for President to someone who makes me angrier and angrier with every headline-making sound bite he utters?

How dare any candidate for office say things like a vote for one candidate (Huckabee) is equivalent to a vote for another candidate (McCain). How dare any presidential candidate stand behind a man (Gov. Blunt - MO) while he says that a vote for a candidate (Huckabee) is a "wasted vote."

These types of remarks, and that line of thinking, are completely un-American and are clear attempts to undermine the democratic process and manipulate the media.

If this is a reflection of the current state of politics in this country, then I am disgusted.

[Ruidu]

Huckabee can win! A vote for McCain is a vote for more of the same!

[michaellitz2]

Romney is a FAKE. He "custom made" himself to fit what he knew that republican voters would want in a President. He did the same thing not long ago making himself into the ANTI-LIFE, PRO-GAY, ANTI-GUN candidate that he knew Massachusetts wanted for Governor. Please join with me in telling Mitt Romney that we are not idiots and not interested in following a man who follows THE WIND.

[well-spoken]

HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS ... GET THE FACTS!!

Emotions on this board are running high. Unfortunately, they are based on very little fact. Mike Hucabee presents himself very well ... and he should get an Academy Award for his performance. He certainly delivers his points with a well rehearsed preacher style which comes accross as honest. Many of these posts point to the fact they like him, trust him, and will vote for him because he is honest.

Well here are the real facts on Mr Honest. He was named "10 Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2007 by the Judicial Watch for 14 ethics complaints while he was govener. See for yourself:

http://www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007

Get the facts. Perhaps Huckabee''s acting ability is why he is stooging for McCain ... maybe Arnie can hook him up with an acting gig.

[giantrobot2]

Romney = Washington money hungry Red Tape Beaurcrate.

McCain = Honorable man, but old. President''s job is very demanding.

Huckabee = True conservative, most experienced running a government, charismatic, honest and true leader for change.

[marinepatriot]

One of Romney''s most prominent supporters in Atlanta said in an interview yesterday Romney must peel away Huckabee backers in order to win in the South.

"Our challenge is to get the Huckabee people to defect before next Tuesday," said US Representative Jack Kingston of Georgia. "One of our big obstacles right now is we are splitting votes with Huckabee. It is very frustrating."

JUST SPLITTING RIGHT NOW. COME TUESDAY WE WILL HAVE "STRIPPED" MOST OF ROMNEYS VOTES AWAY!

We Like Mike. Romneys overspent campaign has been a poor model of success, and people have seen enough of his lies!

VOTE 4 GOVERNOR HUCKABEE!
ONCE A HUCKABEE SUPPORTER, ALWAYS A HUCKABEE SUPPORTER!
