Huckabee - Too Cute By Half
The Huckabee campaign crafted an attack ad targeting Mitt Romney. And then they decided not to use it. However, they made sure to tell a press gathering that one existed and showed it just to them - ostensibly to prove that one actually existed.
Some in the Huckabee campaign even seemed surprised by the move calling it "too cute by half."
You probably know by now that Huckabee, rising in the polls only recently, has no damn money. Keeping that in mind, here part of the exchange with the Huckster at this bizarre press conference yesterday:
(via NYT)
(But) He then opened his press conference by saying that while the ad was expected to start appearing on local television at noon, he had decided an hour before to pull it. Conventional wisdom is to attack back if one is attacked, he said, but he had decided there was much negativity and he wanted to tell voters about why he should be president, not why Mr. Romney should not.
Asked if he wasn't being hypocritical by showing the ad to a roomful of cameras that were likely to replay it, Mr. Huckabee said he was showing it only because reporters were so cynical that if he didn't show it, they would not believe that he really had made it. "You'd say, 'Where's the ad?' " he said.
"It's never too late to do the right thing," he said.
Too cute, indeed! He makes an attack ad, has no money to buy spots for it and then gladly hands it to the press who he KNOWS will write about it and run it all over the place; all the while saying he changed his mind and decided not to be mean. Iowans don't care much for attack ads. But I think Iowans might be a little smarter that Huck thinks and will see right through this one!
Here's a short of the presser and a grainy representation of the ad. The New York Times has a better quality video.

1-4-Romney
1:19PM Jan 1st 2008
-I am going to repost what I posted on Daves Huckabee blog-
Huckabees “HOW LOW CAN YOU GO” politics will never benefit him in the long run. All of these blunders will be coupled by his unethical past and assure a Democrat victory.
His stunt yesterday showed just how manipulative and vindictive I have accused him of being. However, it also shed a new light on him as a coward. He is too cowardly to do his attack on Romney….too broke to give anything play……YET……He is manipulative and vindictive enough to use the FREE media to do his dirty work.
I saw a small clip of his ad on FOX (FOR FREE NONE THE LESS) and that clip said “Romney raised taxes.” Which is an outright lie. If you look up Romneys record, he raised FEES for LG CORPs…..like MCDonalds…..where he raised the fee for them to have a sign on road exits. WOW now I am really concerned for a billion dollar company getting a sm increase in fees so that MA citizens can have a balanced budget and low taxes!
Funny thing is Huckabee is mad at Romney for accurately describing Huckabees own record. Fact check it with INDEPENDENT research---Not from a Huckabee or Romney site and you will see the ad Romney aired is spot on.
HERE IS MY RESEARCH AND WHY I SAY ROMNEYS AD WAS FACTUAL:
#1 “As governor of Arkansas, Huckabee dramatically increased state spending. During his two-term tenure, spending increased by more than 65 percent — at three times the rate of inflation.”
“The number of government workers increased by 20 percent, and the state's debt services increased by nearly $1 billion. Huckabee financed his spending binge with higher taxes. Under his leadership, the average Arkansan's tax burden increased 47 percent, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, including increases in the state's gas, sales, income, and cigarette taxes. He raised taxes on everything from groceries to nursing home beds.
Huckabee answers these complaints by pointing out that he "cut taxes 94 times" while governor. True. But most of those tax cuts were tiny, like exempting residential lawn care from the sales tax. Some cuts reduced overall state revenues by as little as $15,000. On net, Huckabee increased state taxes by more than $500 million. In fact, Huckabee increased taxes in the state by more than Bill Clinton did.”
“On its annual governor's report card, Cato gave Huckabee an "F" for fiscal policy during his final term, and an overall two-term grade of "D." Only four governors had worse scores, and 15 Democratic governors got higher grades, including well-known liberals like Ted Kulongoski of Oregon, Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, and Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania. But Huckabee doesn't just embrace big government in the form of big taxes. He truly appears to believe that if something is a good idea it should be a federal government program.”
“For example, having become health conscious while losing more than 120 pounds (a remarkable feat), he now calls for a national smoking ban. Because he believes that "art and music are as important as math and science" in public schools, he wants these programs funded — and thus, directed and administered — federally.”
“He is the only Republican candidate who opposes President Bush's veto of the Democrats' proposed expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and he is skeptical of most conservative proposals for entitlement reform.”
“Calling himself "a different kind of Republican," Huckabee often appears to be channeling John Edwards or Lou Dobbs. He rails against high corporate profits and attacks free trade agreements. As governor, he raised the minimum wage and increased business regulation. He says it is "a biblical duty" to pass more regulation to fight global warming.”
“Perhaps Huckabee's only claim on conservative credentials is that as a former Baptist minister, he is more anti-abortion and anti-gay than the other candidates. “

Seems Huckabee would be a terrible president. Have
know idea why anyone listen to him. Do we need another
person that thinks he is so important. Has anyone learned anything from the election of present president? Yes, he can talk and talk makes sense however believe that this time we need a very strong
president we have a whole world to think about. Our
Borders are open, that needs to be changed now. So
please think carefully who we vote for this time.

McCain is a far superior choice for a Republican alternative to Mitt Romney than Huckabee. Huck is a likable guy and all, but I don't think he would be a strong president. Guiliani is a scumbag and Thompson seems to have lost his momentum. It is irresponsible of evangelical Christians to vote for a candidate just because he was a former preacher and plays up his Christianity. There is a heck of a lot more at stake here than secondary causes such as abortion and gay marriage. You can get a candidate who talks a good game against those two issues, but still isn't a strong leader in areas such as the economy and the war in Iraq. We need a leader with some world experience here. McCain is the only one I see who can offer that.

The Shift in Momentum IS FOR PRESIDENT HUCKABEE in 2008
Mike Huckabee is presidential material and is alone able to defeat Hillary & Obama. I am now convinced that those wealthier donors to Romney's, Giuliani’s, and Thompson's campaign have wasted their money and if they continue, are wasting their hard earned money on candidates who do not have voter appeal or substance. As a member of the younger generation, I will tell you point blank, Romney, Giuliani, and Thompson DO NOT connect with us.
Romney has run out of gas. He has been the worst investment money could buy. His persecution complex makes him so defensive, weepy and wimpy that he easily cracks under pressure. His fake, calculated tears make him look like a BIG WEENIE before now Czar Putin in mother Russia and the rest of the world. Romney's negative campaigning reveals his unprofessional, underhanded desperation that he'll do anything to get elected. Romney has shown the world that he is an unkind, angry old man. Romney's and Giuliani's flip flop past makes both of them a liability and not an asset for Republicans in 2008.
Every time Huckabee is heard his approval amongst Republicans increases even without the major financial support. Just imagine what would happen if he got the major financial support. He is the Republican's secret weapon in the 2008 election. Huckabee's proven leadership can help bring America together as a team.
Huckabee is the BEST candidate for the dangerous times that we live in. What also makes Mike Huckabee the most logical candidate is that he is not only attracts Republicans but also Democrats to his side without compromising his principles. Both side support is needed to win this election in 2008 and he has it.
Listed are just some of the reasons why I and most others switched our vote to Huckabee:
1. Huckabee can think fast on his feet.
2. He is personable and has a great sense of humor.
3. He is real and does NOT put up a front.
4. Huckabee considers the poor and less fortunate.
5. Huckabee is extremely knowledgeable about various issues and communicates with confidence.
6. He is Pro-life and Pro-family.
7. He is witty and competitive.
8. As governor, Huckabee is the longest proven executive leader among all the nominees.
9. He demonstrates wisdom, humility, and self-control.
10. Huckabee is completely understandable and communicates with great depth.
11. Huckabee has a consistent conservative track record.
12. He is noble, honest, compassionate, bold, also attentive to all the questions he was ever asked about WITHOUT being all over the board and WITHOUT sounding scattered.
13. Huckabee is clearly the toughest on border and national security.
14. Huckabee speaks without annoying hesitations and does not utilize vacuous speech.
15. He has earned the respect of Afro-Americans and Hispanics since he was THE ONLY top ranked one who valued and respected them by attending the latest ethnic sponsored republican forum.
16. He is direct and uncompromising about the FAIR TAX system.
17. Huckabee is very focused and he is all about accomplishing measurable goals.
18. Huckabee has the most practical experience, for over ten years, defeating the Clinton "socialist" political machine in Arkansas and alone has the know-how to defeat them nationally.
19. Huckabee, as governor of Arkansas, did more to practically help the people of New Oreans, LA after Katrina than the governor of Louisiana because Huckabee's state government was so organized
20. Mike Huckabee sticks to his principles without being pressured to change them at the whim of polls and media pundits. He also answers questions very candidly WITHOUT being nervous and WITHOUT dishonestly covering himself up before the public.
21. Huckabee is also NOT a part of the establishment in a period when there is an anti-establishment sentiment in America.
22. Mike Huckabee is the ONLY candidate who has a PRO-American trade Strategy that holds China accountable for their unethical trade and banking practices, as well as their human rights violations.
23. Mike Huckabee's foreign policy methods DO NOT exclude, alienate and take advantage of America's neighboring countries or potential allies. Such behavior has caused some nations to despise democracy and the values necessary to maintain it.
24. Huckabee believes that part of winning the war on terror is achieving energy independence.
25. Mike Huckabee is the ONLY candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton and Obama. The people who are passionate about Huckabee are NOT going to suddenly change their vote within the given time period of the primaries. The rest of the nominees command no such passion. Face it. It is all over.

I am a christian, and I would never vote for this man, also known as a baptist preacher. Can you imagine him as the country's president telling everyone his religious beliefs and views, and that they should follow him since he is the new leader of the free world?! That's a crazy thought to have someone who can not keep their religious agenda private from their political campagin. I want a intelligent, open-minded leader, one that does not judge someone based on their religion, or race, or sex. I don't see any of those qualities in this man. I see him shoot wild birds on TV and comment 'those are the ones that didn't vote for me'. Yeah,that's a real peaceful and good hearted christian and I am superman!LOL Please man, drop off the run for president, most people would never consider this man.
I will and have reviewed all of them, and so far the best man running overall is Ron Paul. I really don't see anyone that compares. Others are now trying to copy his words and talk alot about the US constitution and until now they never mentioned a word. Maybe because the only man gaining ground with THE PEOPLE is really Ron Paul. Follow they leader they do. Go Ron Paul we're on your side buddy.

Denise Williams,
Well, it is hard to add to that. You called him out all the way around. My only question would be, "Does the press still have the journalistic integrity to not play into his hands?" We already know the answer to that.
I admire his resourcefulness since he "has no damn money". The topper is calling the press cynical on top of it...sort of like "I double-dog-dare you to show it." I enjoy the things you find to report on, they always seem to involve in some degree human frailty and humor.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr. Clark

THE TRUTH ABOUT HUCKABEE AND IMMIGRATION
{What Mitt Romney does not want you to know}
THESE ARE MIKE HUCKABEE'S OWN WORDS
Securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency.
I support the $3 billion the Senate has voted for border security. This money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn "catch and release" into "catch and detain" of those entering illegally, and crack down on those who overstay their visas.
In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. Those caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.
I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I opposed the amnesty President Bush and Senator McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer, and opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all.
I oppose and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal
government must crack down on rogue cities that willfully undermine
our economy and national security.
I oppose giving driver's licenses to illegals and supports legislation to prevent states from doing so. In 2005, I signed legislation that prevents illegals in Arkansas from getting driver's licenses.
I will stop punishing cities which try to enforce our laws and protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of their citizens.
I oppose and will not tolerate employers who hire illegals. They must be punished with fines and penalties so large that they will see it is not worth the risk.
I oppose the economic integration of North America that would create open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I will never yield one iota or one inch of our sovereignty.
I will take our country back for those who belong here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver's licenses for illegals.
I know that securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency. I am as sick and tired as you are that it is harder for us to get on an airplane in our home town than it is for all these illegals to cross our international border unchallenged.
We cannot stem the tide of illegals until we turn the tide. Before you fix the damage to your house caused by a leaking roof, you have to stop the leak, which I am determined to do.
I supported the $3 billion Congress passed this summer for border security. This desperately-needed money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn "catch and release" into "catch and detain" of those entering illegally and crack down on those who overstay their visas.
But where is this $3 billion? The President threatened to veto the bill it was part of! Now the Senate has again voted for this money as part of the Defense Bill. I will continue to fight until we get these funds.
In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. We must know who is coming into our country, where they are going, and why they are here. All those who are caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.
I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I passionately rejected the amnesty bill that President Bush and Sen. McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer after secret meetings of an under-the-radar cabal of amnesty-loving senators.
I opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which was a nightmare because it would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all. Because once we open that door even a crack, we'll never get it closed again.
I oppose and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal government must enforce our existing laws by cracking down on rogue cities and towns that willfully undermine our economy and our homeland security by giving benefits and protection to illegals. The consequences for illegal entry must be swift, certain, and uniform throughout our country.
I oppose giving driver's licenses to illegals, such as Governor Spitzer tried to do in New York. I support legislation that would prevent the states from granting this privilege to illegals. In 2005, I signed legislation that prevents illegals in Arkansas from getting driver's licenses.
I will stop punishing cities which are trying to enforce our laws. I will appoint judges who will uphold the law, not side with the ACLU against cities like Hazelton, Pennsylvania, which are trying to protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of their citizens.
I will not tolerate employers who hire illegals - they must be punished by fines and penalties so large that they will understand it is not worth the risk. Once again, as with Hazelton, liberal judges are gumming up the works. Right now, a court in San Francisco -- Pelosiland - has delayed enforcement of the "no match" letters for Social Security numbers that the Department of Homeland Security will use to crack down on those who hire illegals. If illegals cannot find work, they will go back where they belong. I will do everything I can to hasten their trip home by denying them employment.
I strongly oppose the economic integration of North America that would have open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I know we must have closed and secure borders. I will never yield either one inch or one iota of our sovereignty. I will recognize no authority but our Constitution.
I will take our country back for those who belong here and those who are willing to play by the rules for the privilege to come here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver's licenses for illegals.

{What Mitt Romney does not want you to know}
THESE ARE MIKE HUCKABEE'S OWN WORDS
Securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency.
I support the $3 billion the Senate has voted for border security. This money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn "catch and release" into "catch and detain" of those entering illegally, and crack down on those who overstay their visas.
In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. Those caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.
I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I opposed the amnesty President Bush and Senator McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer, and opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all.
I oppose and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal
government must crack down on rogue cities that willfully undermine
our economy and national security.
I oppose giving driver's licenses to illegals and supports legislation to prevent states from doing so. In 2005, I signed legislation that prevents illegals in Arkansas from getting driver's licenses.
I will stop punishing cities which try to enforce our laws and protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of their citizens.
I oppose and will not tolerate employers who hire illegals. They must be punished with fines and penalties so large that they will see it is not worth the risk.
I oppose the economic integration of North America that would create open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I will never yield one iota or one inch of our sovereignty.
I will take our country back for those who belong here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver's licenses for illegals.
I know that securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency. I am as sick and tired as you are that it is harder for us to get on an airplane in our home town than it is for all these illegals to cross our international border unchallenged.
We cannot stem the tide of illegals until we turn the tide. Before you fix the damage to your house caused by a leaking roof, you have to stop the leak, which I am determined to do.
I supported the $3 billion Congress passed this summer for border security. This desperately-needed money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn "catch and release" into "catch and detain" of those entering illegally and crack down on those who overstay their visas.
But where is this $3 billion? The President threatened to veto the bill it was part of! Now the Senate has again voted for this money as part of the Defense Bill. I will continue to fight until we get these funds.
In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. We must know who is coming into our country, where they are going, and why they are here. All those who are caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.
I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I passionately rejected the amnesty bill that President Bush and Sen. McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer after secret meetings of an under-the-radar cabal of amnesty-loving senators.

ROMNEY IS TOO NEGATIVE, MEAN AND NASTY. HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SPOUT Negative Ads against McCain and Huckabee. Then when Romney gets a taste of his own medicine from any other candidate, he falls apart and screams that everyone else is being negative. WHAT A WEASLE and PHONEY!!!

We all know what he says now but what ROmney is trying to convey is that it is not congruent to his actions or his past stances. GET OFF THE HUCK SITE AND START LOOKING AT NON CANDIDATE SITES......!!!!!
I can tell you right now that I am a Dem that voted for Clinton and I live in a million dollar home.
But in truth.... I am a Rep that voted for Bush and live in a modest home. So stop trusting words and seek evidence!

I do not know why you can not comprehend the difference between contrast and negative, but let me help you out a little.
Romney aired ads that compared his record to McCains and Huckabees. Since when is comparison and the truth negative.
It is beyond reason and throws intelligence out the window for you Pollyanna folks to label comparison as negative, attack, mud, etc… We might need to pull out the dictionary at some point!!!!!
If Mitt Romney pardoned (despite every prosecutor on staff , victim families, and the community objecting )and this murderer then killed again or if Romney gave illegal’s tax payer money…… wouldn’t you want to know???? Would you then call that negative if Huck exposed him because the media failed to???? I don’t think so. SO why are you objecting to Romney simply letting voters see a glimmer of the unethical and incongruent decisions Huck and McCain have made.
I am sorry that the truth hurts!…..but where I come from the truth is never an attack or negative…..instead it is the standard. HUCKABEE AND MCCAIN SHOULD TRY IT OUT…they might like the truth.
Romney opposed Huckabee using the FREE PRESS to manipulate and display an ad that he did not have money to air.
Again just another example of Huckabees ethics.
Romney objected to personal attacks made by Huckabee and McCain… Huckabee again manipulated an interview to jab at his faith by asking “don’t Mormons believe….” Again Ethics????
ROMNEY NEVER ATTACKED MCCAIN OR HUCKABEE ON ANY PERSONAL LEVEL but MCCAIN AND HUCKABEE CALLED ROMNEY A LIAR, FRAUD, FAKE, FLIP FLOPPER, DISHONEST, UNPRESIDENTIAL, etc….. ETHICS?????
So, it seems to me the only candidates being negative and resorting to name calling when they can not prove or honestly deny the truth of Romneys ad ----------are the ones you defend against your so called negative attacks……
If you bother to look up any of the information I provided you saw that the ads were factual. However, McCains ad just airs some editors opinion on how dishonest Romney is but fails to provide any factual evidence or support of HIS OPINION! SEEMS quite a few people need to learn the difference in negative vs. comparison and Fact vs. opinion.

MITT ROMNEY: THE GREAT AMERICAN WEENIE!!!
ROMNEY IS TOO NEGATIVE, MEAN AND NASTY. MITT ROMNEY WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SPOUT negative Ads against McCain and Huckabee. Not too long ago Romeny was way down in the polls by a large margin then suddenly Romney places highly negative ads against Huckabee and made dishonest statements against him within his print media. For two weeks Huckabee did not respond with negative ads. Since Huckabee did not retaliate negatively to Romney's ads, some thought that Huckabee was conceding that they were true about Huckabee. Then Huckabee's poll numbers started to go down with Romney in the lead.
Suddenly Huckabee threatens those negative ads and the hate mail hand delivered to peoples doors from Romney by presenting the truth about his own record and facts about Romney's record then suddenly Romney wimpy Romney cries out, "Not fair... I should be the only one to be allowed to use negative ads because the republican establishment will let me get away with it."
So when Romney gets a taste of his own medicine from any other candidate, he falls apart and screams that everyone else is being negative.
WHAT A WEASLE and A PHONEY!!!
Huckabee is the BEST candidate for the dangerous times that we live in. What also makes Mike Huckabee the most logical candidate is that he is not only attracts Republicans but also Democrats to his side without compromising his principles. Both side support is needed to win this election in 2008 and he has it.

WHAT HUCKABEE DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW!Yeah guess what these are his words before running for president!
He said Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity "in culture, in language and in population."
"This is an issue that is going to require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border, particularly those coming from Mexico," Huckabee said of verifying the status of illegal aliens. "But I am confident that our government will recognize that we should accommodate people who wish to provide the best opportunities for their families (and) employers so that we can make sure our economy has the necessary work force."
During the legislation session, Huckabee criticized an immigration bill by Republican senators Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.
Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later to Huckabee's comments that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.

It will be interesting to see how tomorrow turns out. On the GOP side, Romney has had to endure more "negative campaigning" than any other candidate (yep, true), and for far longer. The media doesn't talk as much about this negative campaigning as the attacks have typically been made behind closed doors to thousands of people, away from television cameras. Huckabee is primarily where he is at in the polls because many of a similar religious mind have been convinced by their religious leaders (in both direct and indirect manners) that Romney, a Mormon, has horns growing out of his head. Huck did not get where he is secondary to his own accomplishments.
Without Mitt, Huck would be nothing. Mitt on the other hand is a very different story.
When the issues of Economy, Defense/Foreign policy and Family are considered in aggregate, Romney is the clear winner. He has proven in his life again and again by ACTIONS that he knows how to build strong teams with the best talent and the sharpest minds and to subsequently get the best RESULTS. He has proven in his personal life that he cherishes and strives to follow the core moral principles that so many conservatives hold so dear.
For more of the same... vote a career politician. Otherwise, vote Mitt.
It will be unfortunate if this extremely talented and intelligent son of America is pushed to the wayside due to bigotry. If so, in the end, those influenced by this bigotry will receive that which they want least cause Huck is in no way going to win a general election.
My vote is going to Mitt, he is clearly the best candidate for the job.

Huckabee's attack on the Mormon faith will net him the loss of many votes from Mormons (Myself included)who have endured religious persecution from so called "Christians" who mock Christ's law to love thy neighbor. Those who persucute others for their religious beleifs are not Christians and certainly should not be President. Those who support Huckabee should be aware that he is a "wolf in sheeps clothing". Given the choice between Hackabee and Clinton I would vote for Clinton. At least you know what her real agenda is. I cannot beleive that people can call themselves Christians or Americans and then persucute a whole group of Americans by openly claiming they would not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. This is sad.

Of all the Republicans running Huckabee would be least likely to get my vote. As governor he personally intervened to get a rapist early release because he had raped a distant relative of President Clinton. Pandering to right wing fanatics, and hatred of one of our best presidents- Clinton, is disgusting. The rapist went on to murder and rape others, thanks- Huckabee!
