Why I Cannot Support Gov. Huckabee

Daily Truth-O-Meter ruling

Republican Mike Huckabee The signers of the Declaration of Independence were "brave people, most of whom, by the way, were clergymen."

1 out of 56 equals 'most'? Only one of the 56 was an active clergyman, and that was John Witherspoon. A few more of the signers were former clergymen.

This is a good start, he seeks to mislead people and tries to talk about things in an authortative manner when he is not truly knowledgeable about them.

Wasn't there another guy from Hope, Arkansas like this......

He might have some good ideas in other areas, but his open immigration, more visas, more temp workers, amnesty crap totally wipes him off any slate I'll consider.

www.taxhikemike.org

That site shows why I can't support Huckaee.  He is a nanny stater.

Just more proof of his Big Government view of the world.  How will this address what the rest of the world is doing and how their pollution is impacting us.  Just ask those in the Pacific Northwest how they like China's pollution.  Why hasn't move on.org, al gore, aclu et al invested themselves in addressing that in the world court, china's courts or wherever else they might have to MAN-UP to SPEAK OUT?

You want more Jimmy Carter the Huckster will give you more Jimmy Carter.......

Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly says Huckabee "destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas, and left the Republican Party in shambles," Schlafly charges, "Yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a 'compassionate conservative' are now trying to sell us on Huckabee." Call the Better Business Bureau.

I am calling and filing a complaint......

Huckabee moved up to second place in Iowa today.  This is a good site for following the polls:

You can sort by candidate, state, or pollster.

If you click on a state, then scroll all the way to the bottom, there is a forum where you can comment.

Joe McCutchen was interviewed by World Net Daily.  Look for him to start dropping like a rock.  Who will benefit?

One of Huckabee's Arkansas critics, long-time border-security activist Joe McCutchen, told WND that Freedom of Information Act documents he obtained show unusual business practices and possible improprieties in a 2006 Huckabee decision to attract a Mexican consulate to Little Rock.

(Admin) theSuperPatriot said: I saw him do a high school question session on cable and he sounded less than impressive.  He sounded ok on some of the interviews I heard but they were all general questions.  With the High School student they had specific questions but he still gave general and vague answers.  Not for me.

I would like to ask him a specific question or two. 

For starters I would like to know if he crosses his fingers when he says he will secure the borders and is against amnesty.  

Then I would like to know why he did not advocate and impliment the FAIR TAX in Arkansas while he was Governor? 

I would continue by asking if he is aware that according to a Congressional Report over 9,000 Americans a year are killed by illegal aliens and thousands more are raped or molested by them? 

Finally, I would ask if he would station United States Military on the border to secure it?

Aboslute questions that ANY candidate (Dem or Rep) should be mandated to answer!! 

I thought this was so disgusting that I posted it as a seperate post - but really I just think every Grassfire and Firesociety member as well as ALL AMERICANS need to know about this.

I think this is treason beyond a doubt.  This governor would give America to Mexico in a heart beat!  In fact he is already trying to!

Who does he represent?  I think he should move to Mexico as obviously he likes their citizens more than Americans and he is more concerned about their citizens than he is about Americans.

Send this to everyone you can, like local radio and TV shows.  It won't be covered by ABC, NBC or CBS so I sent to Lou Dobbs but someone needs to send it to Glenn Beck. 

It makes me sick!

I think this bodes badly for the entire group - it shows just how corrupt these "open borders" big business - global empire supporters are.

I can't believe how he met with Vicente Fox and the two of them decided what was best for American farmers in Arkansas - illegal aliens and a Mexican consulate!

This needs to be on every TV across the country - it needs to be bigger than Dancing with the Stars.

This is treason at it's core.  He is MORE than DONE - I hope he never gets in any government office again, not even county clerk!

We talked some about this on another Huckabee thread.  There is a report on www.arkansasfreedom.com

Romney assails foes on immigration

By LIZ SIDOTI

Associated Press Writer

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, seeking to protect his narrowing lead and fend off challenges from rivals in this early-voting state, assailed Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani over supporting tuition breaks and broader sanctuary for illegal immigrants or their children.

As a new poll showed his advantage trimmed in Iowa, the former Massachusetts governor on Tuesday singled out the two Republicans giving chase here and likened them to Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. "There are those people in both parties who are in a sanctuary state of mind, who believe in sanctuary cities, who believe in policies which are sanctuary in nature," he said.

Just weeks before voting begins, the race in the leadoff caucus state has tightened. Romney led in Iowa by double-digits in polls for months but now is trying to curb Huckabee's recent rise in surveys and gains among religious conservatives, while working to prevent Giuliani from mounting a more serious challenge.

Underscoring the fragile state of Romney's lead here, a CBS News/New York Times poll released Tuesday showed Romney with 27 percent backing by likely GOP caucus-goers. Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, now threatens Romney's lead with 21 percent of support; Giuliani, the former New York mayor, has 15 percent.

Going after both on a salient issue in western Iowa, Romney contended that Huckabee fought for tuition breaks for children of illegal immigrants in his state, while Giuliani provided tuition breaks at the City University for illegal immigrants. He said Clinton, too, backs such breaks.

"Giving a better deal to the children of illegal aliens than we give to U.S. citizens from surrounding states is simply not fair and not right," Romney told reporters during a one-day trip to the state.

Also responding to Romney, Giuliani spokeswoman Maria Comella accused him of ignoring his own record as governor while he campaigns for president. "Under Governor Mitt Romney the number of illegal immigrants skyrocketed, while he recommended millions of dollars in state aid to numerous sanctuary cities and to companies employing illegal immigrants, not to mention the illegals working on his own lawn," she said.

During Romney's time as governor, at least three Massachusetts cities offered sanctuary to illegal immigrants. While Romney frequently claims that he authorized state police to enforce immigration law, he leaves out the fact that his order never went into effect.

Speaking to reporters, Romney noted that he vetoed a bill the Massachusetts Legislature passed that would have allowed children born to illegal immigrants to get a tuition break in state schools. "Illegals do not get a break in our schools," he said.

While he focused on Huckabee and Giuliani, Romney broadened his criticism to include opponent John McCain, saying, "He is somebody who has taken the wrong side on this issue as well."

Romney didn't mention Fred Thompson, the former Tennessee senator who is billing himself as a consistent conservative and a staunch opponent of illegal immigration as he steps up efforts in Iowa to try to reverse a downward spiral.

Asked whether he agreed with Thompson's record on immigration, Romney sidestepped.

"He wasn't a governor or a mayor, and so he didn't put in place policies that would have affected, for instance, tuition breaks to illegals or driver's licenses," Romney said. "He was elected to the Senate, went to the Senate. What did he do during that time period? I just don't know. It doesn't stand out as an effort that he made."

On other issues, Romney:

- Shrugged off the National Right to Life Committee's endorsement of Thompson, saying: "You always like all the endorsements you can get but you can't get them all." He took the opportunity to mention Giuliani's support for abortion rights.

- Appeared to distance himself from the Bush administration's policy banning the photographing of coffins returning from war. "I don't see any particular reason to have that policy, but I haven't really heard both sides of it," he said, adding he wouldn't find it offensive for people at an airport terminal to snap a photo.

Toward that end, when an Arkansas legislator introduced a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from voting and receiving state benefits, Huckabee denounced the bill, saying it would rile up “those who are racist and bigots.”

He also made the insane point that companies like Toyota would not invest in Arkansas if the state didn’t allow non-citizens to vote because it would “send the message that, essentially, ‘If you don’t look like us, talk like us and speak like us, we don’t want you.’”

We don't need a race card gambler in the White House.........

I heard on CNN last night that Huckabee is now 2nd in the polls in Iowa?  Is that correct?  Do these people not know who this man is in his soul?

I don't know but I doubt it if the people in Iowa would like living in the barrio that we now live in, in Los Angeles.

Someone needs to get their attention in regards to who this man is and NOW!
