Will the REAL MITT ROMNEY please stand UP!

The Iowa Caucus is just 3 days away and here in Alabama we haven't been bombarded with all the political bantering that has been going on in Iowa these last few days. Iowans are probably thinking by now, "Let's get the Caucuses over with". They have not only had to endure the normal deluge of television ads that tell why a certain candidate is worthy of being voted for but ads that tell why a candidate should not be voted for.
In today's political climate of mistrust in our elected representatives and government agencies in general, we the people, know that this could backfire on a candidate. Mitt Romney, who has lost his lack luster and dropped in the polls, has played his card and gambled in a desperate move by smearing, distorting and lieing about not only Gov. Mike Huckabee but others as well.
I have observed three things that have emerged during the 2008 Presidential Race that I believe will hold true with you as well. One: Where elected officials and media darlings truly hold their allegiances; Two: What kind of character(morals and values) each have and Three: How far they are willing to go for political gain and power. Gov. Mike Huckabee has not participated in this "tear down and destroy" tactic. He has said at the outset of his campaign, it will be "Vertical Politics" for him. Read about his postive messge HERE, that he setout to accomplish in the beginning of his campaign and has not wavered since.
We need Gov. Mike Huckabee who will stand for you and me unlike those who will fall for the lies, misrepresentations and distortions. Read up on Mitt Romney because the 2008 Presidential Train is about to leave the station and come to a town nearest you. Be ready!
See and hear for yourself the real Mitt Romney HERE.

Mike Huckabee WILL Stop the Car and Fix the Flat

Does anyone have the distinct feeling that the OLD GUARD REPUBLICANS have met in those quiet back rooms to discuss who they will support for President in the 2008 election? Those republicans tout being supportive of pro-life and pro-defense candidates and being "for the people", but who will they endorse for the 2008 Presidential Race? With the media darlings and talking heads feeling left out because of the onset of the HUCKABOOM, when their candidates of choice have been left in the dust and a Congress and Senate that are sagging and ineffective with approval ratings to match the shoe size of a grown man, what has them scurrying around like a pack of rats at a cheese party?

It has been said that the candidate with the deepest pockets usually will be able to run the distance in an election cycle with monies given and spent on various advertisements and such. What sets a candidate apart when he has little money coming from the political machine that has existed for years?

Take Senators McCain and Kennedy for example. Two U.S. Senators from two different parties. One a Republican and the other a Democrat. What’s the difference? Just a few months ago, they both sought after the same goal, amnesty for illegal aliens. What’s up with that? Why would two representatives compromise on such a divisive issue right next to an election year that is sure to have dire consequences? Senator Kennedy isn’t running for President but Senator McCain is. Why would a man trying to gain the highest prize in the land commit political suicide by saddling himself with one of the most liberal tax-and-spend Democrats in America? My thought is that Senator McCain made a fatal mistake and it sealed the deal for him to be forever linked to a Liberal Democrat: High Taxing Ted Kennedy. Whatever the reason, this brings me to my next point.

For years, with our consent, The OLD GUARD REPUBLICANS or "Republicrats" have been busy distancing themselves from the things that traditional GOP'ers have considered essential to the viability of the Grand Ol’ Party and the American Way. They have not only allowed our values, pride, and partriotic traditions to gradually slip from our hands but they’ve actively sought to wash their hands of the very core of what we should stand for with the strongest soap made. Read about the the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Bill of 2007.

I believe the words that we are hearing from Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee and the response from the American people is the embodiment of what has been forgotten and set aside for political gain, party loyalty and gaining power. We have a man before us that has indicated that he stands with us for traditional values while running this marathon and supporting our values regarding, pro-life, pro-defense and military, pro-fairtax, pro-education and everything that is good with the heart of our country in mind.

Someone I know said it like this, "Imagine that a Republican and a Democrat are going down a road arguing about which radio station to listen to. Suddenly, they have a flat tire and continue to drive on the rims with flames and sparks flying up just like an episode of COPS. As they continue arguing about which radio station to listen to, weaving down the road and throwing sparks everywhere, they never notice the sign that says, "BRIDGE OUT!" and it is too late.

Americans, this is a perfect example of the ineffectiveness of our representatives and the liberal slant of the popular media. Vote Mike Huckabee for President. He will stop the car and fix the flat!

Mike Huckabee, "is doing an amazing job." Says Newt Gingrich

Article posted on Thursday, December 6, 2007, by: Newsmax Staff
entitled "Gingrich Says Huckabee Can Win the Nomination"

Excerpts from the article:
"Gingrich said Huckabee 'is doing an amazing job. The more people watch him, the more they believe in him. 'He’s very comfortable with himself ' is the phrase I hear most often.' ”

“People tend to underestimate him. This is a man who got over 40 percent of the African-American vote in Arkansas, getting re-elected as Governor. He has a very attractive personality. He’s a small-state person running in Iowa where I think the style of small-state Arkansas goes over pretty well in small-town Iowa.”

When asked by Sean Hannity radio and television personality, "What do the Republicans need to do to beat Hillary, assuming she’s the nominee? What do they need to focus on?”

"Gingrich said, 'Be for very real change, represent clearly the values of the American people…and force Senator Clinton or the Democratic nominee, whoever it is, to choose between the values of the left and the values of the vast majority of Americans … If they do that in a positive, issue-oriented way, I think that they have a very real chance of turning 2008 into a historic referendum.' ”

Huckabee's Surge Stirs the Pot in Iowa - Article in the Wall Street Journal
Read article by Laura Meckler:

htttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB119630469605907462.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Quote from a new supporter in the article--"That message appeals to Scott Filline, a pilot from Chicago, who stopped by the Des Moines Huckabee office Tuesday to pick up yard signs and literature. 'Initially it was his religious views, because I'm a Christian, too,' Mr. Filline said. 'I like the fact that he's honest, not afraid to say what he believes.' "

Huckabee on the O'Reilly Factor

Mike Huckabee was on the Factor last night and did a terrific job - when Bill would pipe down and let Huckabee talk, that is! Seriously, when pressed about his Christianity and background as a minister, Gov. Huckabee gave direct answers that were forthright and humble. Anyone watching can see that he's not the fire-breathing fanatic that liberals (and some fellow "conservatives"...) want to paint him as. He's an authentic, consistent Christian who always adheres to his core values, and that's why he can lead our country in a positive direction while narrowing the ideological chasm that has recently divided us from one another!

How can a man who's practically unheard of except in his own state where he's known as "The Gov" have gotten this far with little money and little media? When New Year's Day 2007 rolled around and he was in last place as a presidential contender, how could he have passed 8 others leaving them in the wind in only 9 months?

Let's hear from you as to "How or Why-Mike Huckabee's excelled in the race"?

The Presidential Race is like a Box of Chocolates!

The current Presidential Campaign cycle of '08 appears to have produced an assortment of candidates like a small box of "Whitman's Samplers" chocolate candies. (It is note worthy to recognize that the word 'candidate' has 'candi -date' like 'candy' and 'date'. I guess we are suppose to entertain the idea of voting for any candidate for a period of time before we decide to choose one). Like those boxes of bite-site candies, we've a limited number to choose from and we try them all-knowing that they're all flavored chocolate while some are nutty, some are too sweet and some appear to be just right but not recognizing which one was really "the best" until after it's too late and they're all gone. Let's not miss the opportunity to select "the best" candidate while sampling all the others. After the '08 Presidential Primaries, we may experience that euphoric feeling like we get after eating all those chocolates but not really electing "the best"!

Before we let this happen, we need to put our own selfish interests (not issues) aside while allowing politicians' to be politicians', leaders', to be leaders' and voters' to be voters'.

This post is in response to the Washington Post Article regarding "Huckabee: 'Christian Ticket' Would Help Elect Clinton" http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Newsroom.Article&ID=60

Read Hillary's plan for socializing America-using our Tax dollars!

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=3322
Yes, she's up to her same ol' bag of tricks and just in time for some Halloween Trick or Treating fun! Hillary flies in on her campaign broom stick and disguises her answer to healthcare with pure socialism in the article. Those of us who've followed the days of Billary, won't be fooled again.

When she speaks of "It's Your Choice" in the article, these are code words for doctors' to extricate(for you liberals that means to "remove") the remaining good sense from The American People after her husband's days in The White House because our taxes are about to hit the roof. Eventhough, we all know that 50% percent of the us pay 90% percent of the taxes beginning at $30,000 thousand dollars. Ssshhh.... don't tell that to those rich working people making $30,000 that their taxes are going up-they might figure out what's really going on. With liberals, it's never OUR CHOICE!

When she uses the term "Good for Small Businesses", it makes one wonder, who is she talking about, which small businesses? The one's that have gone out of business because they couldn't afford to pay their taxes under her husband's astronomical tax increases when he was in office? I believe she means that it's finally her turn, to stick it to SMALL BUSINESSES!
And finally, when you read the part about "Reins in Insurance Companies", here we go again more buzz words for socialism. She's playing good-cop/bad-cop and making those bad 'ol insurance boys look like a bunch of buffoons, while she disguises her treat as glorified health coverage(everyone knows that government has never run anything well) while tricking us into electing her, so we will pay more taxes.

Let's face it, we are being hood-winked again!

Maybe her plan entitled, "Hillary’s American Health Choices Plan" should be renamed, My Fasttrack Scheme to Socalism in the geographical area between Canada and Mexico via your TAXES. This won't offend anyone, will it?

Listen to Mike Huckabee's Response to HILLARYCARE below...

My Wish List for our Next President -Short List

-Continue to Support our President and the troops in our efforts and plans for Iraq and the war.

-Change our energy dependence from oil to other energy resources in 10 years or less and allow for more drilling in the vast areas of Alaska.

-Reverse our Socialistic approach to handing out wage earner dollars by cleaning house of our many wasted government programs and enact the FairTax bringing tax relief to wage earners.

-Close the borders immediately and build a fence.

-Enforce existing immigration policy. The federal government should allow each state to govern their own visitors regarding the illegal issue regarding states’ laws and write legislation that will send infants along with their illegal parents’ back to their country of origin.

-Create an aggressive tracking system for those who are working and visiting our country.

-Allow Stem Cell research ONLY with umbilical cord cells of the mother and not with innocent human life.

-Over turn Roe v. Wade but first make it a law for every pregnant couple to review an ultrasound of their baby. Encourage and make adoption of state side babies and children more available, easy and less costly.

-Allow for school vouchers or at the very minimum return tax payer money to every family who’s child/children are home schooled or attend a school other than tax payer funded government school.

-Recognize that marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman for the furtherance of civil-li-zation and pro-creation of humans to existence for generations to come.

Who's saying he's a Dark Horse now? Hmm..?

You can't deny the facts, Mitt Romney captured his win in Ames, Iowa with tons of money, but the real winner was Mike Huckabee and his message of FairTax, Pro-Life, War on Terror issues, etc. Read the latest article below in National Review.

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OGVkMmJjZDIxY2EwODc5NWFmNjA4OTVjOTIzYzU5OWE

The next tests' will be New Hampshire and South Carolina. The country has had enough of the same old, same old in Washington-a lot talk but no substance. We call our representatives and they don't return our calls. We ask them to sponsor bills, time after time and sometimes for years on end, and they still ignore us. Mike Huckabee's message is being heard and is resonating with the American people. He represents the grassroots, he's giving us hope once again and confidence to speak out and speak up. He is saying yes to reform, yes to closing the borders, yes, to stopping the murder of millions of innocent lives snuffed out each year and yes, to a war that will give us the liberty to sustain America for our children and grand children. If this is important to you, then I challenge you to tell 5 people this week about Mike Huckabee. Let us hear your thoughts.

Debate Question-Produced Irrelevant Candidates

If you watched the 2007 Iowa Debate Sunday you would noticed that the "elephant" stepped into the room, the FairTax. The question was asked of each of the GOP Presidential Candidates beginning with Mike Huckabee who has been waving the FairTax flag early on. They were asked if they would support the FairTax if President. Other candidate that said they support it were: Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, Tommy Thompson and John McCain. Though Fred Thompson has flip-flopped on the issue as reported by ABC News he hasn't even declared his candidacy. Two of the "top-tier" candidates-Rudy Guiliani, Mitt Romney as well as others said, "No", and appeared to be like deer in headlights, taken back, acted like the question was a nuisiance and attempted to explain away their support of a "flat tax" system which is much like the out-of-control one we now have in place. If these candidates, especially the top-tier ones, were knowledgable on the FairTax, they would not have given these erroneous answers and been disingenuous to the voters. Maybe they they simply just don't care and want the elephant to quickly leave the room.

Why this blog?

The purpose of this blog is to draw attention to the only presidential candidate that truly reflects raw southern charm and values unmatched by any of the others. Mike Huckabee is the only candidate that conservatives can rally behind in the upcoming election.
