Duncan Hunter Speaks About his Endorsement of Huckabee

Duncan Hunter lets us know why Romney is a "non-starter" and why Huckabee is the best man for the job. Take a listen to Hunter below:

Sean Hannity is Lying About Huckabee... Again

Tonight on the Hannity & Colmes program (1-23-08) on Fox News, Sean Hannity continued his disinformation campaign against Mike Huckabee. He claimed that Huckabee was pulling out of Florida, which is a complete and utter lie. If you go to MikeHuckabee.com right now, you will see that Huckabee has a large amount of attention paid to Florida. He can't run the ads there as he would like because of some financial issues, but he is NOT pulling out of Florida! Sean Hannity has now resorted to telling straight out fabrications about Huckabee.

He is trying to squeeze him out of the race to get votes for Romney. Apparently trying to make voters think that since Huckabee's not even trying there, they might as well vote for Hannity's guy Romney. This guy Hannity is a fraud. He is disingenuous and does not care about the truth, only his own political aspirations and his entertainment career.

Tell Hannity how you feel by writing him at Hannity@foxnews.com

(video will be posted of Hannity's false claims as soon as available)

UPDATE: Huckabee calls reports of him pulling out "total nonsense." This goes out to you Hannity. Video below:

Huckabee says McCain-Feingold Legislation is a Disaster

John McCain doesn't seem to like the fact that a 527 group called "Common Sense Issues" is "push polling" in favor of Huckabee and against him. He has in the past asked Huckabee to tell them to stop. One problem with that though. John McCain's own legislation makes it illegal for Huckabee to talk to the group! In talking to the media, Huckabee said:

”We’ve asked people to stop.You are aware that it’s illegal for us to make contact with a 527 “, Huckabee said at a presser last night. ” This is one of the problems with the McCain-Feingold act; it’s an absolute disaster. It’s created this whole flood of soft money that nobody really can say they’re in control of.”

John McCain needs to be taken to task for his horrible legislation, and I hope Huck continues to talk about this very legitimate issue. McCain needs to stop whining since he/his legislation is part of the problem! See the article and video of Huckabee talking about the horrible McCain-Feingold act.

Must-See Huckabee TV - Hannity & Comles (1/15/07)

Mike Huckabee appeared on Hannity & Colmes on 1/15, the day of the Michigan primaries. He did an outstanding job, as usual. A must-see video

"It was good to see some life in Fred"

Mike Huckabee Surges in South Carolina...

...At least things seem to point that way. Huckabee has a very large and very dedicated base in SC. I seriously doubt John McCain's support is as firm as Huckabee's. In fact, I would be willing to bet that most of the SC polls that have McCain up a few points are largely by people stating his name out of familiarity, not people that are necessarily willing to go march to the polls for him. In other words, McCain's support is soft.

Fred Thompson - Boring and Uninspiring

Applause is usually earned by saying things worthy of being applauded. But Fred Thompson is so uninspiring that he has to ask the people to applaud himself. Take a look at this video below, and you will know why Fred is going nowhere in this election:

The Drudge-Romney Love Affair Confirmed Again

I have blogged before about the Matt Drudge and Mitt Romney connection. Now comes this video below about Romney's affection for The Drudge Report - a gossip type site that the mainstream media eats up and pulls stories from.

That Mitt Romney would openly declare his daily reading of such a tabloid artist (who NEVER links to negative articles critical of Romney) only goes to show that there is a bond between the two. That bond is clearly Romney's own communication adviser, Matt Rhoades, who has obvious connections to Drudge.

The video speaks for itself, especially if you know the background of Romney's ties to Drudge.

Good News Rolling out for Huckabee

Good news is starting to come Huckabee's way today.

First comes the announcement that South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer Endorses Huckabee.

"This week, I have decided to vote for Mike Huckabee, and I urge all South Carolinians to join me in voting for Mike Huckabee this Saturday."

Bauer has a good reputation with the people of SC, so this will have an impact, to be sure.

That's not all. The new daily Rasmussen Reports Presidential poll has Huckabee in FIRST place nationwide:

1. Huckabee 23
2. McCain 20
3. Romney 18
4. Thompson 12
5. Giuliani 11

Huckabee Chairman Ed Rollins Talks About Fred Thompson

If you are going to go toe-to-toe with Fred Thompson, this is how you do it, aggressive but not nasty. Firm truth-telling:



Ed Rollins is fantastic with taking on aggressive opponents like Fred Thompson. I would strongly suggest the Huckabee campaign start utilizing Rollins' skills more often on programs like this, because his appearance here was brilliant.

Club for Growth or Club for Greed?

The Club for Growth has been relentlessly attacking Mike Huckabee very early on. Perhaps Pat Toomey, the President of Club for Growth has something personal against Huck. Because they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in negative advertisement in Iowa all the way back when Huck was only a percent or two in the polls. They failed miserably in Iowa trying to paint Huck with a misleading brush - and they will fail in South Carolina too.

I really doubt they had much to do with Michigan either -- although they are claiming to on their website. The hard fact that Toomey needs to realize is that his organization is irrelevant in trying to tear down Huck. People see through his special interest hogwash. He knows Huck won't bow down to his commands, therefore he needs a puppet who will. And who might that puppet be?

Well, take a look at this interesting fact. Mitt Romney contributors are also fat supporters of Club for Growth.

Puppet found.

The "Club for Greed" finds that the strings attached to Romney are very easy to manipulate.

Huckabee Needs to Fight While he Can

Ok, I was checking all the state polls before Romney won Michigan -- and it looked as though McCain was ready to sweep through them all and get the nomination.... if he would have won Michigan. But he didn't. Mitt Romney did, thereby slowing down the momentum and praise McCain will be getting.

This opens the door up very wide for Huckabee in South Carolina. This state is his for the taking. It's southern fried, just like he is, and it has people who are deeply devout and sincere in their faith. This needs to be the momentum generator, this state of SC needs to be the gas in the engine of his campaign. If Huck can't win here, it will be an uphill climb, albeit one that could conceivably still work out.

My concern right now though is all the secular angry pundits who claim to be conservatives. You know who I'm talking about if you have read this blog at all lately.

Mike Huckabee has to realize this one thing: these people are hurting him and they shouldn't be ignored. And he needs to find a way to respond that makes sense to those who listen to talk radio and other pundits. Joe Carter has a very interesting article on some things Huckabee's campaign needs to consider.

He has been able to sustain his campaign this far, which in and of itself is quite astounding considering the vitriolic onslaught he has been taking from the deceitful wing of the Republican party and pundits. They have been lying about Huckabee's record like nobody's business. And I'm talking about big and vicious lies. But will anyone notice?

Only if people start speaking up. Silence will only make the lies grow and grow. These things need to be combatted and now. Positive campaigning becomes ignorant campaigning when you stop defending yourself and become a punching bag.

Rule #1 in politics: Do not let your opponents define who you are or what you stand for with their lies.

Governor Huckabee, it's time to fight back. Not with nastiness, but with aggressive truth telling. We're with you!

Huckabee playing Class Warfare?

A lot of the talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and other secular conservatives are claiming that Huckabee is playing a game of class warfare. Apparently because he talks about corporate greed and also talks about the lower class and the poor.

But we MUST talk about the poor and the lower class. We MUST include minorities. We MUST talk about poverty and the hurting common man. If we don't, then we are relegated to a party which will simply continue to shrink into nothing. We MUST expand our base and do it within the confines of conservative principles.

This nonsense that Huckabee is a huge tax raiser is simply absurd. Huckabee rebuilt roads and improved education immensely -- but he gets criticized for doing these things because *GASP* it took raising taxes to do it. Of COURSE it did, but Governors are responsible for making their state the best it can be. He CUT taxes too, over 90 times!

Huckabee's foreign policy is claimed to be "liberal." REALLY? By claiming we should have the most fierce and well funded military to ever be known to man? By stating we need to strongly win the war in Iraq with honor? By claiming we will strike Iranian ships if they dare mess with U.S. ships? Are you serious Limbaugh, Thompson, and others?

What kind of Republican party do we want to exist? One which is afraid to talk about the poor, afraid to talk about the environment? One that is AFRAID to talk about corporate greed? These are all true and legitimate things to be concerned about, and yet if someone like Huckabee mentions them, the secular, fat-pocketed elites like Rush Limbaugh try to squash him.

Yes, the secular, rich Republican elites don't want a compassionate blue collar underdog like Huckabee to be in the party -- at least not at the head of the party. It's not good for business you see. They would rather them sitting at the back of the bus, quietly accepting their secular, angry conservatism and voting as they say.

No thank you. Not this time.

Fox News' "Gotcha" Question to Mike Huckabee Fails

At last nights Fox News debate, Carl Cameron tried to damage Mike Huckabee by asking him an irrelevant question about something Huck signed regarding the Biblical doctrine of wives submitting to their husbands. Religious questions are off limits for Romney, but they sure love shooting them to Huckabee. However, every time they pitch one to him, Huck knocks it out of the ball park. Listen below to the way Huckabee easily handles Cameron's disingenuous question:

Talk Radio Betrayal of Huckabee - Establishment Republicans show their true colors

An interesting thing is happening in talk radio. All of the "conservative" talk show hosts have decided it's in their best interest to come out strongly against Huckabee. This includes Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Laura Ingrahm and a slew of others who have made it their mission to try and derail Governor Mike Huckabee's campaign.

Rush Limbaugh recently created a false thing where he claimed a Huckabee staffer had criticized him, when in reality it was an anonymous Huckabee "ally." It could have been ANYONE, even something made up. Yet Rush made it out like Huckabee himself was attacking him. I can only conclude that Rush made this up in order to create a pathway for him to start slamming Huckabee in every way possible. To me, that makes Rush Limbaugh a very devious and deceitful man.

Sean Hannity thinks his listeners have the mind of a child, by acting like he really loves Huckabee, but just can't seem to get past why Huckabee would pardon a murderer (a complete lie). Hannity makes a point to bring up refuted points over and over to try and stick it to Huckabee. No matter how good Huckabee answers, Sean reiterates how he thinks this is problematic. "But I'm neutral!" screams Hannity. Please Sean. Do you think your listeners are that small minded?

I could give more examples, but you don't need them if you keep up with talk radio at all. Other establishment Republicans other than Rush, Hannity, et al. are attacking Huckabee too. Ann Coulter (Rush's best buddy), Michelle Malkin, and other crude Republican comedians feel the need to attack Huckabee at every turn.

Perhaps part of the problem comes when Huckabee says things like it doesn't bother him if an atheist is honest about their lack of religion, but it bothers him more when people say they are Christians and don't live like it. Perhaps Rush, Malkin, Coulter, et al. feel the sting of truth in that comment as it relates to them? Just a thought.

But why they never touch slick Mitt is interesting. Even though Romney has been all over the map on every issue, and ran to the LEFT of liberal Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, they give slick Mitt a pass because he is easily controlled by the likes of the establishment. Huckabee is far more conservative than Romney, and more consistent for that matter too. They are picking on Huckabee for small things - things which he has made conservative promises on. Yet they don't accept it like they accept Mitt Romney's "change."

Mike Huckabee is not controlled by these goons. Yes, they are goons -- and this comes from someone who has listened to Hannity, Limbaugh, Malkin etc. for most of my adult life. I bought Coulter's books, consumed Michael Savage's anger, and relished Mark Levin's whining & squeaky voice every day. No more. Their true colors have been revealed. They are angry, irrational, and unwilling to give dissenting conservative voices any chance to be heard whatsoever.

Rush Limbaugh does NOT speak for the middle or lower class. He is a rich Republican elitist who couldn't relate to the common man any more than slick Mitt or Hillary Clinton can. He makes his living by reading off talking points that stir up anger.

Mike Huckabee has gotten as far as he has by not eliciting that type of anger in people. He actually wants to unite, whereas the angry conservatives simply want to divide and conquer and bring in book sales and more entertaining radio. I reject their unamerican ways and you should too.

I was fooled once that these people were actually welcoming of compassionate Christians. But I see that is wrong. They reject Christians of compassion and I think we all should reject them. Stay away from these hate-mongers, as all they want to do is line their pockets with as much cash as they can get their angry hands on.

And trust me, I feel more betrayed by these people than you can imagine. I have felt their anger towards liberals and loved it, but now feeling their anger towards people like Huckabee (and all us supporters for that matter) shows me that they have no true desire to see the common man or even the devout Christian believer have a voice in the Republican party. And that's a crying shame.

McCain's Win in New Hampshire

John McCain's New Hampshire victory is good news for Huckabee. Romney still doesn't get a "WINNER" headline, and Iowa + NH were suppose to be Romney country.

Now that Romney's two states have been taken away from him, the road is now clear for Huckabee to have a clean sweep.

Huckabee is leading or close in South Carolina, Michigan, Florida, Delaware, Oklahoma, etc. Plus, Huckabee is leading NATIONALLY by 5%.

Listen, Mike Huckabee has a clear path to victory. If you are a Huckabee supporter, it's almost time to pop the champaign corks!

Romney: I never supported timetables for withdrawal in Iraq

In the debate on ABC last night, Mitt Romney claimed that he never supported timetables for withdrawal - Oh yes he did:



Mitt Romney clearly has no core. May the people of New Hampshire see through this man, and realize that elections should not be able to be bought.

Romney is not a trustworthy man. This is almost more serious of a flip-flopper than John Kerry ever was.

Mike Huckabee is the only clear genuine choice.

Stop Lying About Huckabee and Evangelicals!

From Michael Medved:

Predictably enough, most media commentators have totally misinterpreted the nature of Mike Huckabee’s big win in the Iowa GOP caucuses. Conventional wisdom says that he swept to victory based on overwhelming support from Evangelicals, but conventional wisdom is flat-out wrong. According to the exit polls used by major news networks, a majority of voters who described themselves as “evangelical” or “born again” Christians actually voted against Huckabee –with 54% splitting their support among Romney, McCain, Thompson and Ron Paul. Yes, Huckabee’s 46% of Evangelicals was a strong showing, but it was directly comparable to his commanding 40% of women, or 40% of all voters under the age of 30, or 41% of those earning less than $30,000 a year. His powerful appeal to females, the young and the poor make him a different kind of Republican, who connects with voting blocs the GOP needs to win back. He’s hardly the one-dimensional religious candidate of media caricature.

It’s also idiotic and dishonest for observers to keep harping on anti-Mormon bigotry as the basis for Mitt Romney’s disappointing showing. Yeah, it's true that 81% of Evangelicals voted against Romney--- but 75% of ALL Iowa Republicans voted against him, so where is the big evidence of "anti-Mormon bigotry"? In other words, there’s only a 6% difference between his general rejection and his Evangelical rejection. There’s no evidence, in other words, that those who described themselves as “born again” or “evangelical” faced an especially tough time voting for a Mormon. Romney, after all, finished second among this group—as he finished second among the electorate in general. Among Evangelicals, Mormon Mitt beat John McCain, Fred Thompson and Ron Paul by a ratio of nearly two-to-one…a bigger, not smaller margin of victory over these other non-Mormon candidates than he managed to achieve in the electorate in general. The message ought to be obvious: the core issue was phoniness, not faith-- and the religious and non-religious alike react badly to phoniness.

Meanwhile, 87% of non-Evangelicals voted against Huckabee.... compared to only 66% of all Iowa Republicans.... in other words a 21% gap! Think about this.... THERE'S MORE EVIDENCE IN THE EXIT POLLS OF ANTI-EVANGELICAL PREJUDICE than there is of anti-Mormon prejudice. Huckabee did well across the board with all groups in the exit polls except one: the 40% who said "no" to the question, "Are you a 'born-again' or 'evangelical' Christian?" He finished fourth among this group, behind Romney, Thompson and McCain.

The evidence is pretty clear, isn't it? The preferences of Evangelicals mirrored those of Iowans in general. But the preferences of the "non Evangelical" group were distorted by their religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) and led them (as the same prejudices leads angry members of the conservative establishment) to blast, resent and dismiss the Huck.

Massaging the numbers another way ---Huckabee got 46% of the Evangelical vote, only 14% of non-Evangelical--- a huge 32% difference based on the rejection by these people of a well-known religious identity.

Romney, on the other hand, got 19% of Evangelical vote, and 33% of non Evangelical voters--- a vastly less significant 14% difference...

In other words, Non-Evangelicals appear to have been much more influenced by the religious variable in their distaste for Huck, than Evangelicals were influenced by that variable in their distaste for Mitt.

Those who insist, over and over again, that the Iowa Caucuses reflected “Christian identity politics” or a “tidal wave of Evangelical support” are basing their analysis on feelings, not facts; on vapors, not voters. It’s dishonest to say that a guy who just won a crushing state-wide victory, without even winning the majority of his own religious group, displayed a one dimension appeal to Christian zealots only.

This endlessly repeated story line is not only tired, it’s a lie.
