comMITTed to Romney!

Well, Mr. Huckabee (that Schmuck he is), has taken his “Holier Than Thou” attitude and chastised people against “Demonizing” Barack Obama, now I don’t believe that anyone should go after Obama for his race, but I find it very tart of him to act like he’s all “high road” when he was the biggest damn bigot during the primary season going after Governor Romney with his sick attacks against his faith. Who in the heck does Mr. Huckabee think he is? Religious Authority of the United States of America? I don’t give a crap about what this low life of a politician has to say. He doesn’t have a bit of credibility period.

Sen. McCain may have inadvertently painted himself into a corner with his “campaign finance reform” tinkering. It appears that he is between the proverbial rock and a hard place when it comes to his attempt to opt out of the public campaign finance system and to rely on his own fund raising. I don’t claim to know how all this will eventually work itself out, but I continue to believe that McCain is very vulnerable in this campaign. If the FEC or the courts eventually rule that McCain has to stay in the publicly funded system and he is already at his spending limits, how does he mount a general election challenge to Barack Obama who is floating on an ocean of cash?

~~John Cronin~~

FREE REPUBLIC

Mike Huckabee said today he’s staying in the Republican presidential race because Sen. John McCain might have run afoul of the Federal Election Commission and be unable to campaign for much of the rest of this year…

“He wrote these laws,” the former Arkansas governor said, adding they were “one of the worst things to happen to American politics.”

“It may very well be that the law he pushed comes back to bite him.”

At issue is Mr. McCain’s request last summer to take part in the federal matching funds program for the primary election and his request earlier this month to withdraw from it.

If forced to remain in the public financing system, Mr. McCain would be tied to strict spending limits that he is already approaching. He would essentially have to shut his campaign down until after the nominating convention in September, which could make Mr. Huckabee a more attractive general election candidate.

Mr. Huckabee, who has not applied for public funds, would have no such restriction…

The Democratic National Committee has filed a challenge, and the FEC chairman has said he wants more information on whether Mr. McCain has already received anything of value from his participation in the program. That could include securing a bank loan on the promise of government funds or, the DNC says, it could also include securing a place on the ballots in some states without having to gather signatures.

The McCain campaign has asserted a constitutional right to withdraw from the system…

Complicating Mr. McCain’s path is the fact that the FEC can’t muster a quorum and can’t rule on his case. Mr. McCain says that’s not needed and that he can withdraw unilaterally, but former FEC commissioners say that is not a settled question.

1. Of small importance; trivial: a petty grievance.
2. Marked by narrowness of mind, ideas, or views.
3. Marked by meanness or lack of generosity, especially in trifling matters.

Reasons to agree:
1. Instead of listening to those who criticize him, Huckabee tries to destroy those who dare examine his record. He does this in a personal, non-substantive, and yes, a petty way.
2. Huckabee never criticized Romney over issues. Huckabee never said substantive things about Romney that were wrong, all he did was 3rd grade type petty criticisms, like saying that Romney needed to take acting lessons, was too successful for people to vote for, or should commit suicide after spending so much of his money on his campaign.
3. Huckabee had a foot-shooting, cheap political stunt of trying to “pull” a negative ad he just had to air first for the media, suggesting to those who pointed out his hypocrisy that they were “cynical.” Huckabee aides told the press the candidate was driven by his anger toward Mitt Romney before changing his mind at the last minute.
4. Huckabee refused to deal with an alt-weekly because it wrote negative stories about him. Google “petty and Huckabee”.
5. When Romney endorsed John McCain Huckabee said; “I won’t have to take acting lessons to endorse McCain”. I don’t get it. Does Huckabee seem to think there was no reason for Romney to criticize McCain? Does he not think that grown adults can disagree with each other? Did Huckabee think it was difficult for Romney to endorse the guy, whom everyone agreed lied about him with regard to time lines in Iraq? There were differences between Mitt Romney and John McCain. These were substantive difference that have consequences more than just personal relationships, but for the future of our party, country, and world. But these were personal difference between two very different men, and it was petty of Huckabee to try and insert himself into the situation, and insist (very self righteously) how much better chums he was with McCain than Romney.
6. Even editorialists and columnists at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the state’s dominant (and Republican-friendly) daily paper, use words like “petty” and “thin-skinned” to describe Huckabee.
7. Huckabee compared hard-hitting (and accurate) news reporters for the Democrat-Gazette to the press fabulists Jayson Blair and Janet Cooke.
8. Huckabee called liberal columnist John Brummett of Stephens Media “constipated” when that early admirer commenced some gentle criticism.
9. Huckabee’s administration paid $15,000 to settle a suit filed by Roby Brock, the host of a public TV news show whom Huckabee’s people tried to force off the air for his critical commentary.
10. Huckabee once called Max Brantley and the Memphis Commercial Appeal bureau chief “junkyard journalists” for their reporting. This was very small of Huckabee. You have to look the case up yourself, but Max Brantley was a respected journalist, and it was petty of Huckabee to go after him personally.
11. Huckabee also compared Max Brantley, in print, to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and wished aloud for his early and violent demise. It is petty to viciously attack someone who dares criticize you.
12. Google “Huckabee” and “petty”. You will fnd some good stuff

Reasons to disagree:
1. It wasn’t wrong for Huckabee to make the campaign about personal attacks. People don’t just vote on the issues, they want to have a guy in the white house they like. It wasn’t petty for Huckabee to point out things about Romney that people could be made to not like. Romney brought up policy positions Huckabee took in the past about immigration, and letting people out of jail. Huckabee had every right to respond with personal attacks. It wasn’t small or little of him.
2. Everyone is petty. No on is perfect. We are told to judge people by their fruits. The question we should ask is if Huckabee, and we, are less petty than we were yesterday.
3. It is good that Huckabee fights back, when people criticize him. I wish Romney would do the same. No charge should go un-responded to. It’s a war of ideas. If other people are going to attack your weaknesses, you need to attack theirs. People say Huckabee was petty. Well so what? That’s not what kept him from getting elected in 2008.

I don’t mean to be petty myself, going after Huckabee. However, conservatives took too long to decide whom to get behind this year. Huckabee is relatively young. He will be around in 2012, and will be one of the leading contenders. I’m trying to work out all these issues, so we don’t have to figure out who to support the day before Super Tuesday in 2012.

Well I’ve kind of gotten all my ideas out on paper. Which side is right? What did I leave off? Now that we have investigated that issue, lets go onto the next one:

Huckabee is a hypocrite.

Reasons to agree:

1. Huckabee is constantly complaining about Romney’s criticism of his record. But Huckabee hardly goes a day without making personal attacks about Romney’s character, and it is better to criticizes someone’s record, in a political setting, than to get personal.
2. Huckabee always talks about how he is a “Christian leader” but he made jokes about shoving a flag pole up the collective butts of people who thought the confederate flag was somewhat racist.

BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) - Southern Baptist pastor Wiley Drake said Wednesday that he is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service for his endorsement of GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee in a press release written on church stationery.

Under federal tax law, church officials may legally discuss politics, but they cannot endorse candidates or parties without putting their tax-exempt status at risk. Most who do so receive only a warning.

Drake, a prominent pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention, said he received a 14-page letter from the IRS on Feb. 7.

IRS spokesman Rafael Tulino said Wednesday that he could not comment.

On Aug. 11, Drake wrote a press release on letterhead from the First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park that announced his personal endorsement of Huckabee, who also is an ordained Baptist minister.

“After very serious prayer and consideration, I announce today that I am going to personally endorse Mike Huckabee,” the release said. “I ask all of my Southern Baptist brothers and sister to consider getting behind Mike and helping him all you can.”

He added: “I believe God has chosen Mike for such an hour, and I believe of all those running Mike Huckabee will listen to God.”

Two days later, Wiley repeated his endorsement on his church-based Internet show, “The Wiley Drake Show.”

A complaint was filed with the IRS by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

“I commend the IRS for investigating Pastor Drake’s flagrant abuse of church resources,” Barry Lynn, executive director for Americans United, said in a statement.

Drake defended his news release and comments on the talk show, saying that he was only offering his personal endorsement of Huckabee—not the church’s.

“I think I’m perfectly within my rights and I am upset,” he said in an interview.

His attorney, Eric Stanley, said Drake and other pastors have a right to free speech, even in politics.

“They can feel free to personally endorse candidates. It was not a church endorsement and he made that very clear,” said Stanley, who is representing Drake on behalf of the Alliance Defense Fund.

If you go to MikeHuckabee.com click on “blog” off to the right you will see “bloggers for huckabee“. There you will see that Mike Huckabee’s official website links to:

A Young Pastor’s Perspective
Gospel Fellowship Pastor’s Blog
Pastor Dan Walker
Pastor Dave Mason
Pastor Jon
Pastor Mike
Pastor Steve Weaver’s Blog
Pastors for Huckabee

Perhaps these “pastors” are not using their official church property to Support Huckabee. However they do all have official “Alabama for Huckabee” or other such buttons on their website. Huckabee is breaking the spirit of the law, that separates church and state, by linking to these websites from his official blog.

I wonder what these pastors think about the fact that Huckabee pardoned 1033 criminals, and let 12 convicted murderers go free? I know these people hate Romney because they say that he believes you are saved by works. They agree with Huckabee (and Romney) that you are saved by grace. But should he be elected to be president of the united states, by grace? Because you are born again, should you be president, or is it OK to look at your works, when judging if you are fit to be president? By their fruit ye shall know them. What kind of fruit is 1,033 criminals, and 12 convicted murderers? A week after the NIE report was all over the front page of every newspaper in the county, while Mike Huckabee was running for president, he knew nothing about it. The day that Britney Spears’ little sister was pregnant, Mike Huckabee knew every detail about it, and even wrote an open letter to her, injecting himself into the situation much like Dr. Phill, for political gain, saying that she can be forgiven. Huckabee had more faith in his own judgment than that of the juries that heard 1,044 cases that he overturned. Huckabee tried to tie Bhutto’s Assassination to Illegal Immigration. Huckabee defended the use of the confederate flag saying, “if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we’d tell ‘em what to do with the pole, that’s what we’d do.” Hay Huckleberry, nice fruit.

The simple fact is: there can be too much religion in politics. There has been too much religion as a reason to vote for elected government officials voting in Northern Ireland. It would be better if they voted for the best guy, not the best catholic or the best protestant. There has been too much religion as a reason to vote for elected government officials voting in Iraq. But were do we cross the line? Do you think Huckabee crosses the line linking to all these pastors from his official blog? What message is he saying? I think it is interesting Huckabee links to 8 blogs that call themselves pastors, but no blogs that call themselves conservatives.

Rasmussen Reports polling since Mitt Romney suspended his campaign shows John McCain leading Mike Huckabee 55% to 24% in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. McCain also leads Huckabee 724 to 196 in delegates and there is no viable path to the nomination for Huckabee. As a result, Rasmussen Reports will no longer conduct daily tracking polls of the race for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Yesterday, Rasmussen Reports received hundreds of phone calls and countless e-mails from Huckabee supporters indicating their disappointment with our decision. Many implied that we were being disrespectful to Huckabee and his supporters. That is not the case. We recognize that Governor Huckabee has run and is running a campaign that resonates with a large and important segment of the Republican constituency. He has greatly exceeded expectations because of his ability to reach out to this portion of the conservative coalition.

However, in our coverage of Election 2008, our focus moving forward will be primarily on the coming general election competition between Senator McCain and either Senator Obama or Senator Clinton. We will also begin expanding coverage of Senate Races and issues for the fall. As we look to the future, we are certain the Governor Huckabee will play a role in the unfolding saga of Election 2008 and the years beyond that. We will provide coverage of him in that role whenever appropriate.

You no longer have a chance of replacing McCain as the nominee. By staying in the race, you will only hurt McCain. By hurting McCain, you could give the election to Obama. Obama would leave Iraq too early. It could be very bad if we leave Iraq too early. Therefore you should leave the race.

It is not likely that McCain will have a macaca moment, and have to be replaced, and even if he does have to be replaced, your staying in after getting less votes and than Romney seems pretty pathetic.

I don’t ever recall seeing the comments section of this blog so active. Thanks to all for your interest in ALL THINGS ROMNEY and for your energy.

I wanted to touch on some of the points and comments that I see as being, in my mind, most prominent in the discussions.

One of the points that I see actively talked about is the new “write-in” strategy. I am not willing to concede anything to McCain or to Huckabee, but if it becomes necessary to adopt this strategy, several good things will happen.

1. None of us will get into the regrettable habit of voting for Democrats. You are familiar with the old saying: “Friends don’t let friends vote for Democrats.”

2. We will punish the Republican hierarchy for pushing a fairly liberal Democrat, er, I mean Republican as the party’s nominee. I don’t want to punish the party’s rank and file, just RINO”S like Crist, Schwarzzenneger and Mel Martinez. Psychologists tell us that rewarding bad behavior encourages more bad behavior. How embarrassing would it be for the RINO leadership to have pushed McCain’s candidacy so brazenly, only to have real Republicans write-in Romney’s name en masse?

3. Unlike voting for, you’ll pardon the expression, a Democrat, (any Democrat) a write-in will show up distinctly in the voting tallies, rather than being buried, to a certain extent, in the general election vote totals. I know, exit polling would measure it pretty well, but a write-in strategy would paint a clearer picture.

4. It will send a message to the party establishment that they can’t win without us, no matter how they may hold us in distain.

5. It will settle the religious bias controversy for everyone except the “invincibly ignorant” that if they insist on using this as a strategy, we will use our 35% voting bloc to over ride their 25% voting bloc.

6. It is light years more effective than “sitting the election out.” I am firmly convinced that the Democrats would like nothing better than for us pesky Reagan coalition voters to stay home and forfeit the game. Politically speaking, the general election is the SUPER BOWL. Nobody forfeits that contest. It’s what you work for all season long.

We have also talked a lot about the need to rebuild the Republican party. The current leadership needs to go. I love that old saying: “Politicians are a lot like a baby’s diaper. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.” One of our commenters talked about getting involved in a local election, I believe in a judge’s election. That’s what I’m talking about! She will get to be known within her local party’s membership and over time, access equals influence. Rather than hope the Old Guard will support Mitt in 2012 if it comes to that, why don’t we replace some of them now with Romney supporters? That way we will control the party apparatus.

Reagan built his coalition by working the grassroots for four years. Using the platform of his radio broadcast, traveling all over the country giving speeches that reinforced conservative principles, meeting and convincing voters from all walks of life that conservatism is in the best interests of the country. That is something Mitt Romney has not had a chance to do. You can build up a boatload of political IOU’s that way.

We may yet end up in a brokered convention, but that’s not for sure. Something completely unforeseen could cause us to sweep the remaining states. Never underestimate a hot head like McCain. Who knows what he might say if he explodes. The stories coming out of the U.S. Senate about his profanity-laced tirades suggest that he could change the dynamics of this race at any moment.

And finally, keep in mind that we now have identified the strongest conservative in American politics, Gov. Mitt Romney. His name recognition is now off the charts, his grassroots organization is now battle hardened and experienced. His national campaign staff is the envy of the rest of the campaigns. His fund raising strategy can now develop over a four year period and he will have the necessary time to develop a national network of political support. If, and I do mean if, it turns out that 2008 is not our time, we are in great position to take over the party, barn storm the country and finalize the work of “BUILDING THE REAGAN COALTION, PHASE II.”

Rallying To Romney

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 12:31 AM

A large, enthusiastic crowd gathered on extremely short notice for a last minute Long Beach, California stop for Romney tonight.  I talked to the get-out-the-vote staffer who was heading back to Sacramento and the headquarters even as Romney took off for West Virginia and that state’s Super Tuesday convention.  The Romney team is wired, the sort of energy that can be faked but only flows from conviction that the political wind is at your back.  Similar reprots are arriving from Colorado and Georgia. Romney clearly has momentum in California, and a win here will send the campaign into a month of head-to-head contests culminating in Ohio and Texas in early March.  Expect Romney to challenge McCain to a series of one-on-one debates that McCain really cannot accept, underscoring the weakness of the McCain campaign if it has to match up against Obama.  Not only would McCain be overwhelmed by the volcano of money exploding for Obama, he can’t match the Illinois senator on the small screen.  The recognition of the mismatch looming is adding fuel to the Romney rally. Romney by contrast has enormous energy and an appeal built on the future, not the past.  He can easily raise the money necessary to contest the next eight months until public financing takes over on 9/1, and he would easily best Obama in one-on-ones on television. Romney has reassembled the Reagan coalition and may have done so just in time to save the GOP from lapsing into its pre-Reagan days.  If the Huck vote continues to dwindle at the rate it has been fading over the past ten days, tomorrow could have many surprises.  Romney thanked Rush, Sean, Laura, Mark Levin, Lars Larson and others among the conservative punditry for leading the rally.  If he can keep it close tomorrow, the shift to him will accelerate as the GOP decides to contest 2008 on the basis of free markets, free minds, traditional values, and victory in the war –in short, on a 2008 edition of the 1980 platform.

Sorry I can’t provide the link. I evidently clicked on something I shouldn’t have and I removed the URL window from my browser. I’d appreciate your help in restoring it. Thanks in advance.

In the meantime, great news coming from battleground California. According to Reuters/CSPAN/Zogby, Gov. Romney is leading California over “Open Borders” McCain 37% to 34%. Below are a couple of quotes from the article.

~~John Cronin~~

If the swing towards Romney in California continues, he will emerge from Tuesday’s contest in a solid second place with a new narrative and a renewed debate about the race –can Romney surpass McCain in Ohio and Texas in March? The rapidly fading Huck would simply disappear, as he is doing in many places where the obvious has already registered: A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.

As the Arizona numbers underscore, McCain would not even bring a marginally united party with him. Given his animosity towards Romney, McCain wouldn’t add Romney to the ticket ,and the die-hard opponents of McCain will spend the next nine months hammering on how Huckabee blocked the consolidation of the conservative vote thus allowing the Reagan coalition to be eclipsed. Many would get over it and pull the lever for McCain, but how many would work for him or contribute to his coffers? And how many irreconcilables does it take to doom the campaign from the start –5%? 10% Not many, especially when it comes to the purple states of Colorado and Ohio.

Hat Tip to Ranzel for bringing this excellent analysis to our attention. Mitt Romney is nailing down the Reagan coalition.

NEW YORK TIMES

Tags: Florida, John McCain, Mitt Romney

Does Mitt Romney have a victory to cling to in Florida? Joshua Trevino, vice president for public policy at San Francisco’s Pacific Research Institute (and one of the founders of the conservative blog RedState), breaks down the numbers on his personal blog.

“Mitt Romney is in a bad way,” Trevino writes. “He blew through $10 million in Iowa and lost; and outspent McCain eight to one in Florida, and lost that too. But for all this, Mitt Romney is not done yet and the reason lies in the breakdown of this evening’s Florida vote.” He continues:

CNN has the exit-poll numbers, and they reveal some surprising things:

* Romney won pro-lifers.
* Romney won the mainstream religious. (Huckabee won the very religious ­ less than one-fifth of the pool.)
* Romney won the Protestants.
* Romney tied Huckabee with Evangelicals.
* Romney won the pro-GWB voters.
* Romney is the primary second choice of Giuliani voters, Thompson voters …. and McCain voters.
* Romney won the immigration hard-liners.
* Romney won the upper-middle class, earning between $100,000 and $200,000 annually.
* Romney won the terrorism-oriented voters.
* Romney won the self-identified conservatives and the self-identified very conservative.
* Romney won the values-oriented voters.
* Romney won the white voters.
* Romney won the tax-cutting voters.

In short, Mitt Romney won the Republican Party’s idea of itself ­ and that, too, is a big deal. If you’re white, Protestant, anti-abortion, go to church on Sundays, think well of the President, want lower taxes, hate terrorists, make a good living, want to do something about immigration, and live in Florida, chances are you voted Romney. The question before Florida was whether McCain could win a closed Republican race, and now we know he can. The question now is whether he can win conservatives ­ and in Florida, he did not.

First, Captain Ed explains his thumbs up…

Over the last two weeks, my focus has come down to Rudy and Romney. Both would make good Presidents. Mitt, however, has shown that he will fight in every state, while Rudy played a bit of rope-a-dope — and has apparently lost the gamble. Until the debate, I thought Rudy might have had the right idea, but Rudy still hasn’t come out of the gate in any effective manner.
Romney is not a perfect candidate. We don’t have any perfect candidates. In fact, I could still support Mike Huckabee without reservation in a general election against either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. I think, though, that Romney has the most staying power, the better argument, and the best resume of the remaining Republican candidates. I will enthusiastically caucus for Mitt Romney on February 5th.

Then we see former Thompsonites coming into the Romney fold, most notably Liz Cheney…

ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Elizabeth Cheney is joining Mitt Romney’s presidential bid, his campaign announced Sunday.
She previously stumped for former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee who dropped out of the race last week.

In a statement released by Romney’s campaign, Cheney said the former Massachusetts governor “has distinguished himself as a leader who can guide our country with a clear vision for overcoming the threats we face today.”

And then this morning I’m watching the McLaughlin group today and it’s Romney, Romney, Romney. Nobody is behind McCain. It’s truly amazing to see the Republican chattering class rally like this, but there it is nonetheless.

And sure, McCain is securing some good endorsements, but the institution as a whole is getting behind Romney because they think he can be a “change” agent, whereas McCain can’t. They think he’s effectively taken this message away from Obama, and I guess we’ll see if they’re right in the coming weeks.

The Republicans’ Florida debate demonstrated that the strong winner, Mitt Romney, has developed Mittmentum and is on course to election in November, despite the Clintons and some religious bigotry.

The United States of America’s next president won’t be its first president of Italian ancestry (as Rudy Giuliani hopes), because the Republicans won’t nominate a person who does not share the Republicans’ traditional pro-life, pro-personal morality values; or the first former prisoner-of-war (as John McCain still yearns), because now he’s too old for the grueling job and previously he was too inclined to break with most Republicans and join with Democrats (McCain-Feingold, Kennedy-McCain, Gang of Fourteen); or the first Baptist minister (as Mike Huckabee prays), because he’s not up to the job, he’s not the best choice and one president born in Hope, Arkansas was one too many.

But there WILL be big change.

The next president will be the first female president, or the first half-black president (Barack’s mother was white and ignoring that is…not right), or the first Mormon president.

Much of the media really would prefer Obama versus McCain, and have been broadcasting, reporting and editorializing accordingly, but the politically adept Clintons will do whatever it takes to win the Democrat nomination.

Nevertheless, in the end, enough Republicans will refuse to succumb to religious bigotry and reject a monagamous Mormon who shares their basic values for a man who divorced his first wife and married a rich, much younger divorcee whose family could support his political ambitions.

I wanted to use a boxing analogy for the title of this post. I just got an email from our state campaign office about a group supporting Huckabee and the tactics they are using and I immediately thought of a boxer leaning on the ropes, hoping the bell would ring to signal the end of the round, before he got knocked out.

I am told that a group supporting Huckabee is in the process of making 200,000 “robo-calls” in the state of Missouri. The calls take several minutes to complete (no word on whether or not any body can stand to listen to the calls until they end) and they serve up the usual litany of false claims against Gov. Romney and the false claims of conservative positions for Pastor Mike.

We have all observed the pattern in weak campaigns. No true believers who will set aside the time to make live calls, only paid mercenaries who will distribute second rate propaganda over the phone lines. It is a testament to the Romney campaign both here in my state as well as across the country that we have stuck to the issues, avoided character assassination and simply “made our case” to the voters based on the merits of Mitt Romney and the people who surround him.

On a happier note, MissouriansForMitt held our weekly phone bank last night and there were DOUBLE THE NUMBERS FROM TWO WEEKS AGO MAKING LIVE CALLS! At 7:30 PM I had to dial into our weekly conference call and there were DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE on the call from a week ago. We are in our “get out the vote” campaign and in the process of distributing yard signs, recruiting “call from home” volunteers and soliciting support for Gov. Romney for Super Tuesday. What a contrast to a certain “Republican In Name Only” (RINO) and his teetering campaign.
