Romney Ratchets Up Anti-Huckabee Rhetoric
(CBS)
STORM LAKE, IOWA -- Speaking to reporters after a town hall meeting, Mitt Romney delivered a two-for-one attack on Mike Huckabee, who has become his chief GOP rival in the state.
“At the same time [Huckabee] was raising taxes in Arkansas, he was asking taxpayers to pay for in-state tuition breaks for illegals and to give scholarships to illegals,” Romney said. “And the idea of raising taxes to give benefits to illegals is something I think that Republican voters will simply reject.”
Though Romney said that he didn't believe any candidate was running on the issue of faith alone, he charged Huckabee with trying to draw attention to his own Christian faith and predicted that the tactic would not be successful.
“I do think that Governor Huckabee in running an ad that says ‘Christian leader’ is clearly drawing attention to his faith, and I don’t know that that’s been done before in recent American history, where someone advertises their faith,” Romney said.
“I think people welcome people of faith, but I don’t think the particular denomination of faith is the basis upon which Americans choose their candidate.”
The secrets of tennis legend 
Go Huckabee Go.
The fastest baseball pitcher in the world, Hall of Famer pitcher Bob Feller endorses Mike Huckabee as US President.
Bob''s lighting speed fast ball clocked at 100mph is just about as fast as Mike Huckabee''s skyrocketing poll numbers.
Mike Huckabee brings another amazing person on his flying HUCKABUS. The HUCKABUS has been clocked at HUCKABOOM speed, but just this week it has been clocked at HUCKBAMBOOM speed!
Mike Huckabee is on a roll, and everybody feels the energy. Today NBC headline news reports Mike Huckabee as the next Ronald Reagan. News reports are flashing all around the world reporting Mike Huckabee dubbed Ronald Reagan''s heir.
Come on let''s jump on the HUCKABUS this is going to be an historic ride! America is now back in the running!
Just the thought of Huckabee getting the nomination makes me feel sick inside. He does not have anywhere near the experience of Romney, and it shows in how he has run his campaign.
Mitt has run the one of the best campaigns that I have ever seen. He knows how to organize and lead like I have never seen before.
In my eyes, sure Huckabee is a great guy, I do not doubt that at all, but I do not want a President who as Gov. of Ark. pardoned 700 to 1000 criminals, including murders. This troubles me. Plus I do not like his record on immigration. He does not seem very smart to me, and he is the last person that I would want to be making foreign policy decisions.
Mitt is the answer. A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Hillary or Obama, and we simply cannot let that happen. Mitt Will Win.
Negativity does sell.
I have a question --
I just went to Mike''s website and at this time he has collected $1,116,249 in donations.
Currently at Ron Paul''s site he has collected in real time $11,493,478 and what about the next BOMB tomorrow.
My question is how is Mike going to keep going with so little money?
You can sit there and stew over all the candidates, but I''m voting for the candidate who has a heart for ALL people, hard to find common sense and is able to choose with confidence and conviction! That would be Huckabee
Willard ran to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy for a senate seat!
Get a real clue as to what your reponsibilities are as an informed voter protecting America from idiots. It is your duty as a citizen...so do it!
What I especially like about Romney is his apparent great kindness. Some years ago, the daughter of one of Romney''s friends went missing in New York City. Romney shut his business down, and all the employees of the company went to New York City to look for her. Thankfully, they found her. It would be a rare person who would shut his business down to help a friend. I read about that in Newsweek, and it made a great impression on me.
With Mike Huckabee skyrocketing in the polls and now picking up Ed Rollins, his HUCKABUS is going to go from HUCKABOOM to HUCKABAMBOOM!!!
I can see a movie in the making here, Mike Huckabee coming out of no where sprinting pass the competition like they were stuck on honey.
This is an incrediable success story in the making. You are going to see everybody and their brother wanting the rights to make this movie about Mike Huckabee''''s charismatic success.
Look out world, America is back in the running! Mike Huckabee is going to steer this big ship of ours and he has the masses supporting him. Just as a rockband of supporters cheering on Mike now... GO MIKE GO, GO MIKE GO, GO MIKE GO!!!!!
With Mike''''s super ability to connect with people, he will connect with national leaders. The Earth will shift, I can hear the rutters start to grind and turn now, an amazing amount of force is coming.
The evil terrorist will be stomped on like a pancake, the poor will become richer, the sick will become healther, the economy will become brighter. This is an amazing historical time for America on the horizon.
So, I''ll be sending my money in on Sunday for the simple reason Ron Paul is an honest man among charlatans and power seekers. And he gives me hope when it is in short supply.
It is also fun to think of what a Paul administration would do if the establishment allowed him to get that far.
Hope, truth and justice are in short supply in what is now the United States. When they are offered, they should be grabbed and protected like the rare treasures they have become. Ron Paul offers those things.
Certainly it is another David and Goliath struggle, and the Davids have rarely won since the original face-off. But, that is why we have hope.
Huckabee: 1,033 pardons & commutations including 12 murderers.
Romney: zero!
Will you let me keep my stash?
Savings, Yes, but paychecks, No!
Just another politico.
Hope for tax reform, I see, http://snipr.com/stephanopoulosdebate
Will be voting HUCKABEE! http://snipr.com/fthuckabeeonirs
Mike Huckabee is what Leadership looks like ( http://snipr.com/leaderlook ). He''s very smart in choosing his battles, carefully. Make no mistake, Huckabee and Romney are miles apart in many areas. But Huck''s FairTax ( http://snipr.com/irsgone ) is perhaps the pivotal issue. Fact is, Mr. Huckabee has shown himself to be astute as to the ramifications of what FairTax means, not only to middle America, but to the United States'' trade and manufacturing position, globally ( http://snipr.com/tradeinequity ).
Further, because the income tax system affords politicians political cover to hide taxes in prices - by increasing costs to business, passed through to consumers, taxpayers will never be aware of the actual tax load they''re carrying. This, Laurence Kotlikoff contends ( http://snipr.com/meltdowninprogress ), does not support adequate taxpayer pressure on congressional spending, but rather distracts taxpayers against each other (poor against rich), and individual against corporation.

Everybody is reading all about this now. Mitt Romney is Howard Dean all over again. The media and the Democrats will now play this over and over and over and over.
This is what brought down Howard Dean and now is bringing down Mitt Romney. Republicans don''t need another Howard Dean.
.... Yahhh Hip Ha!!!
