Romney on Huckabee

Why should any question directed about Mormon theology be embarrassing to a Mormon? Wouldn't a Mormon be proud of telling the World just what he/she believes? Joseph Smith was supposed to have translated the Book of Abraham in the Pearl Of Great Price. Later on, in the 60's, when people who studied Egyptian could translate accurately the original Papyrus of Joseph Smith's "Book Of Abraham", it turned out to be ancient Egyption funeral rites. Embarrassing. Jehovah's Witness's, the same deal. Convenient false prophecies (1914, 1925, 1975) of Armageddon and the same lame claim "The light gets brighter".
What significant changes has Mike Huckabee brought to Arkansas in his eleven years in office?

1) Cut spending in the school system by closing small schools as non cost effective. The State mandated cuts when the school system proved to be underfunded. Not PC, but budgets aren't always fun and games. This is a plus because our current government being so overstuffed with waste spending. We need a president who knows how to reduce government spending.
2) Transformed education and Health insurance in Arkansas achievements not even tried by Bill Clinton. He was a Republican Senator in one of the most Democratic states in the country, yet, Mike Huckabee fixed the roads, improved education and actually governed with the Democrats. Huckabee knows how to be assertive, but I think we need a President who won't get pushed around.
3) In 1997, Huckabee rose to help enact with overwhelming support in a heavily Democratic legislature, a major expansion of Health Insurance for children of the WORKING poor who did not qualify for Medicaid.
4) Built coalitions among Democrats and Republicans. He was easily elected to a full term in 1998, a Republican in an overwhelmingly Democratic state.
These are just some of the reasons, besides the fair tax reform (which initially interested me in Mr. Huckabee) research fairtax.org for more info. He has not flip flopped on his ideals. He is not owned by special interst groups. Runs an impresive campaign on a shoestring budget ( just pennies to the dollar of all the other candidates). He wants to let the military handle the war and the politicians let them.

Giantrobot2, I'm with you. We need a candidate for the people and not for big business and is strong enough to get the job done.

P.S. About Foriegn Policy Experience. What better person to represent the American people than a man who is willing to actually represent the American people with an intelligent, personable and genuinely gracious personality? Just what are you looking for in experience, anyway? Are you sad he didn't live in Africa for a year when he was a kid? HUCKABANGBOOM HUCKABANGBOOM YA YA (Show us how you do it, Huck)

I am sensing that Romney is a lot like Nixon, basing his morality on his faithfulness to his wife, but leaving behind morality on everything else.

Romney has a slickness in his negative ads that make him appear cynical and dishonest, twising the truth just enough to not lie, but not be intellectually honest either.

You learn a lot about a candidatel when their poll numbers are down, and I am not comfortable with what I am seeing in Romney.

I hope that I am wrong and that Romney can turn his campaign around.

I am sensing that Romney is a lot like Nixon, with personal moral faithfulness to his wife, but intellectually dishonest in other ways and more than willing to win at any price.

I hope that I am wrong, but I sense from his attack ads that Romney is just another slick politician scambling to win at any cost.

And I hope that Romney has the moral sensitivity realize where his staff are taking him with these attack ads and apologize to Huckabee like Hucabee did when he mispoke about Mormonism.

For one, I am sick of candidates who are so negative so I was shocked to see Romney take his campaign in such a negative direction.

Ed Rollins is a master at campain strategy. This guy knows what he is doing. It's not by luck that Ronald Regan won all but one state out of 50.

With Mike Huckabee skyrocketing in the polls and now picking up Ed Rollins, his HUCKABUS is going to go from HUCKABOOM to HUCKABAMBOOM!!!

I can see a movie in the making here, Mike Huckabee coming out of no where sprinting pass the competition like they were stuck on honey.

This is an incrediable success story in the making. You are going to see everybody and their brother wanting the rights to make this movie about Mike Huckabee's charismatic success.

Look out world, America is back in the running! Mike Huckabee is going to steer this big ship of ours and he has the masses supporting him. Just as a rockband of supporters cheering on Mike now... GO MIKE GO, GO MIKE GO, GO MIKE GO!!!!!

With Mike's super ability to connect with people, he will connect with national leaders. The Earth will shift, I can hear the rutters start to grind and turn now, an amazing amount of force is coming.

The evil terrorist will be stomped on like a pancake, the poor will become richer, the sick will become healther, the economy will become brighter. This is an amazing historical time for America on the horizon.

Don't lose this opportunity, let's rally behind Mike Huckabee. Tell all your friends and family about him. Go vote for him. Be a part of the success story to pass on to generations that you were part of the making of this historic success. He's depending on you.

Skyrocketing polls from HUCKABOOM to now HUCKBAMBOOM!!! Let's raise the bar one more time again and let the light shine!!!

doallco: What's your solution then? Why aren't there more conservatives in the press? Is there a reason? Explain to me this bias and how long has it been going on for?

Does anyone seem to forget the fact that Huckabee does NOT have ANY foreign relations and policy experience? Didn't anyone see Huck's idiotic, loose cannon comment on Imus when Imus asked him, "So do you think your having zero foreign relations experience will have an affect on your candidacy?" Huck's response was "You're right, I do not have any foreign relations experience, but I did stay at the Holiday Inn last night." Huckabee was trying to be "funny" but PEOPLE! This race is for the President of the United States, Leader of the free world. Huckabee is likeable, but does not have the experience of the other GOP candidates and will defintiely flop in Iowa. Iowan's are not going to fall for his "cute" little puns that his speech writers use to distract questions from foreign policy. Face it, Huckabee is running away from his record as Governor. He has no foreign policy credentials or basic understanding of it. And he is the candidate the Democrats most want to see win the nomination. A vote for Huckabee isn't a vote for Rudy, it's a vote for Hillary.

Factcheck.org is and always has been an avowed liberal organization which has strong ties to the Democrat party. The Democrats have said that they want to go up against Huckabee just this week and now we have this piece in Newsweek trying to build up him and tear down Romney. The Democrats are afraid of Romney as is evidenced by the fact that they have been attacking him as if he were the nominee since he announced he was running. This is just one more example of how the media is in bed with the Democrat part and their efforts to take control of our country.

Mr. Joe,

This is quite a slanted comment, indeed. Making college affordable and handing out tuition appear to be quite contrasting. Why don't you complete your sentences?

vchewy I know Mormons would have you believe that the devil comment is "anti Mormon". That's the standard rebuttal to any embarrasing fact about Mormonism. I was Mormon for 30 years. I was a missionary for 2 years. So believe me when I say Mormon's do believe whole heartedly that Satan and Jesus are brothers. Do I think it's a big deal no. Do the mormons find it embarrasing yes. Do they teach this concept to their children in primary yes. The only defense to is to play the religious descrimination card or the "anit-mormon" card.
