The New McCarthyism Practices of Talk Radio

by Joseph Tomanelli

I am perhaps the most conservative person anyone has ever met. I am a talk-radio junkie but I am repulsed by the McCarthyism being employed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and even my hero Ann Coulter, to destroy the most miraculous grassroots drive in the past 230 years. Mike Huckabee with no money, only strong faith, armed with only principles and a message came to prominence in the race for the highest office in America.

The movement to nominate Mike Huckabee was on fire to capture the Republican nomination until the “experts” on Talk Radio decided that Huckabee cannot win and that “we the people” are too stupid to know how to vote. I guess not only liberals think we are “mind-numbed-robots.” Talk Radio is painting the most conservative presidential candidate in the top tier as a “liberal.”

ON DEADLINE: Mitt Won, Authenticity Lost

The Associated Press does not like they see in yesterday's Michigan vote!

By RON FOURNIER Mitt Romney's victory in Michigan was a defeat for authenticity in politics.

The former Massachusetts governor pandered to voters, distorted his opponents' record and continued to show why he's the most malleable _ and least credible _ major presidential candidate.

And it worked.

The man who spoke hard truths to Michigan lost. Of all the reasons John McCain deserved a better result Tuesday night, his gamble on the economy stands out. The Arizona senator had the temerity to tell voters that a candidate who says traditional auto manufacturing jobs "are coming back is either naive or is not talking straight with the people of Michigan and America."

Instead of pandering, McCain said political leaders must "embrace green technologies," adding: "That's the future. That's what we want."

Romney jumped all over McCain, playing to the fears of voters in a state with the nation's highest unemployment rate. "I've heard people say that the auto jobs are gone and they're never coming back," Romney told his audiences. "Well, baloney, I'm going to fight for every single good job."

Of course, he'd fight for every job. So would McCain, or any future president. But how?

N.J. primary votes still up for grabs

As a famous New Jersey resident Hall of Fame baseball player once said:

"It ain't over... till it's over"

And that my friends is the point!

New Jersey is a battle ground state. And no matter how much money, or how many endorsements or, as we learned from New Hampshire, how big a lead in the polls... the race in New Jersey will not be over until the voters have their say. And when they do... Mike Huckabee will emerge the winner.... IF we get out and do our part for the campaign!

Sign up now to help as we bring the power of Mike message to the people of New Jersey.

As we have seen in so many primaries so far... Money does not matter. Message does!

And we have the best message and messenger in Mike Huckabee.

Let's shock the world!

Elected Democrats and registered voters in New Jersey have given New York Sen. Hillary Clinton widespread support in her quest for the White House, but the sudden emergence of a potent rival could change the equation, some observers contend.

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's unexpectedly strong showing in Iowa makes the Democratic primary in New Jersey on Feb. 5 hard to handicap, despite Clinton's 34-point lead in a Quinnipiac University poll of Garden State voters released Dec. 13, experts said.

And, despite strong support among Republican leaders in the state, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani may not be considered a sure winner either, one analyst said.

"A major lesson of Iowa and New Hampshire is that anybody who tells you what's going to happen has no idea what's going to happen," said John Weingart, associate director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers.

After NH, Race May Break Huckabee's Way - Yahoo! News

Real Clear Politic's John Ellis paints the path to the nomination for Governor Huckabee.

After NH, Race May Break Huckabee's Way

John Ellis

Iowa was grand for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, but New Hampshire was a bonanza. He cast his bread upon the waters there and though he finished a distant third, it was returned manifold. The one thing that Huckabee cannot afford, at this stage of the race, is head-to-head defeat. He needs at least two "strong" candidates in the field while he puts together the pieces of his Republican proletariat coalition.

What New Hampshire delivered last night was a revitalized Sen. John McCain, which makes Michigan a three-way race, which makes Gov. Huckabee's campaign there viable. If ever there was an electorate that is ripe for Gov. Huckabee's mix of economic populism and compassionate Christianity, it's down-trodden Michigan Republican primary voters. McCain won there in 2000 with strong support from Independents and he will direct all of his efforts at getting those independents to double down, one last time. Romney will throw everything he has at Michigan, to avoid elimination. Given a McCain surge and a Romney splurge, it's not hard to imagine a three-way split, with Huckabee doing surprisingly well in the collar counties around Detroit and drawing from the well of his base in the western and northwestern counties. Who knows, he might even win Michigan, which would set up South Carolina for a kill.

Mr. Romney vs. Mr. Romney - washingtonpost.com

We use this site to post what our candidate, Mike Huckabee, will do to lead our nation forward.

However, today's Washington Post editorial gives real insight into how this campaign is being wagged and the lengths some people will go to, the integrity they will sacrifice, so they may win an election.

Mr. Romney vs. Mr. Romney

On immigration, the candidate is tying himself into knots while proposing no real solutions.

Tuesday, January 8, 2008

MITT ROMNEY, struggling to revive his floundering candidacy and to stiff-arm a surging Sen. John McCain in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary, has pushed his plan for dealing with illegal immigration to center stage. Unfortunately, it is no plan at all. That has become clear in recent days, and particularly at the GOP candidates' debate Saturday, when Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, contradicted himself repeatedly, as well as his own TV advertisements, while stumbling in rhetorical figure-eights around the immigration debate.

GOPUSA: Huck And The Gipper

GOPUSA has a GREAT article by Doug Patton outlining the similarities between Governor Huckabee and Ronald Reagan including how BOTH men have confounded the Republican establishment.

A great read to share with all your friends!

Huck And The Gipper

By Doug Patton

January 8, 2008

A few weeks ago, as the presidential campaigns were heading into the home stretch in Iowa and yours truly was heading into a much-needed holiday hiatus, I published a column called "Huckabee Confounds Elites as Reagan Did." Since then, as the former Arkansas governor has catapulted to the top of the so-called first-tier candidates, additional comparisons to the 20th Century's greatest president have presented themselves.

The Gipper won two landslide presidential elections by connecting with the common man. Much has been written over the years about the Reagan coalition. It included military hawks, fiscal and social conservatives, and the so-called Reagan Democrats.

The Reagan Democrats were primarily blue-collar voters whose long-time allegiance to the Democratic Party was shaken by the economy of the inept President Jimmy Carter. These hard-working Americans lived their lives in a conservative manner, playing by the rules and paying their taxes. But that was not enough. Squeezed by 21 percent interest rates and double-digit inflation, they sought relief from the man who offered them hope -- Ronald Reagan.

The knee-jerk reaction to Huckabee from elites on the right and the left is much the same as it was to Reagan. They dismiss him as a one-dimensional candidate whose approach to our complex problems is just too simplistic. But a closer look at the candidacy of both men reveals something much deeper.

Huckabee Campaign Refutes Romney's Attacks on Troop Surge Support

Governor Huckabee's campaign released information today showing how, once again, Mitt Romney has been less than truthful in presenting Governor Huckabee's position on the troop surge and highlighted Romney, once again, changing his position and not being forthcoming in last night's debate.

Asks Romney: "Which Position Is It, Mitt?"

WINDHAM, N.H., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee's campaign reiterated Governor Huckabee's consistent, steady and unwavering support for General Petraeus' troop surge.

On the other hand: Mitt Romney supported a timed withdrawal, and now he says he did not.

During the Jan. 5, 2008, presidential debate, Mitt Romney claimed he never supported a timed withdrawal in Iraq. Governor Huckabee challenged this claim and Romney responded, "I do not support and have never supported a timed withdrawal." However, in an April 2007 interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America," Romney voiced support for "a private timetable and benchmarks for U.S. troops to get out of Iraq." Governor Huckabee restated his charge that Romney can't have it both ways saying that "time tables, whether public or private, is a withdrawal. This was the Democrat's position in Congress, which I am entirely against."

Romney's claim that he never supported a timed withdrawal, when in fact he did, begs the Governor's question last night: "Which position is it, Mitt?"

Furthermore, after attacking Governor Huckabee for weeks on his criticism of some elements of the Bush administration's approach to foreign policy -- and demanding that Huckabee apologize to President Bush - yesterday, Mitt Romney changed his tune at a New Hampshire house party. He publicly stated that U.S. diplomacy has been dominated by an "our way or the highway approach."

This is very similar to what Governor Huckabee has been arguing. Does Romney now owe the President an apology?

N.J. could become battleground after all

The Atlantic City Press looks at why New Jersey may not be a lock for leading candidates after all! This makes our grassroots efforts for the Governor even MORE important!

N.J. could become battleground after all / State may not be a lock for perceived front-runners Clinton, Giuliani

By DEREK HARPER

TRENTON - Did Thursday make New Jersey's first-ever February presidential primary relevant?

Some political leaders think the results of Iowa's caucus votes will attract candidates to the state, which has been seen as long sewn-up by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and Republican former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

New Jersey polls have consistently given them double-digit leads over their opponents here, meaning the state has been less of a battleground and more of a piggybank for candidates seeking favor in the other 23 states holding their primaries Feb. 5.

Then on Thursday, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the respective Democratic and Republican Iowa caucuses.

Obama received 38 percent of the vote, compared with 30 percent for former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and 29 percent for Clinton.

Huckabee finished with about 34 percent of the vote in an upset victory over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who had 26 percent.
