comMITTed to Romney!

I am in wonderment as to why the MSM pays any attention to the Head to Head polls when we have not even finished the primaries. I know that it is fun for them to speculate and it makes news, but polls on this national level mean nothing. If I was to look at this logically why would we, as the republican party, want to send McCain up against Hillary. Politically it would be like a Brother and Sister running against each other for President of the U.S. Are we so blind that we cannot see that rotating chairs in Washington with people that have been their for so many years is not a good idea. Why do you think that the most successful coporations higher their CEO from outside unless they were groomed specicially for the role. This process would not take 30 years. OOOOOOOOh I forgot this is washington, not the real world…

Huckabee’s Illegal Alien Enforcement Record Hit — by Stephen Dinan

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC calls Huckabee a liar.

[emphasis below is mine]

Mike Huckabee is overselling his record of cracking down on illegal aliens as governor, claiming he ordered his state police to arrest illegal aliens when in fact he never signed the agreement with federal authorities that would have allowed it.

Mr. Huckabee’s campaign acknowledged he didn’t follow through, but said it was lack of time, not lack of interest.

“He knows he’s wrong on immigration; he can’t win if he’s wrong on immigration — therefore, lie,” Mr. Gheen said.

He said he will be in Iowa in the run-up to the Jan. 3 caucuses to try to convince voters Mr. Huckabee can’t be trusted.

Mr. Huckabee makes the enforcement claim on the immigration section of his Web site . . .

Is there any person on Earth now who actually believes that Huckabee would ever be tough on illegal immigration?

IMMIGRATION GROUP: HUCKABEE A ‘DISASTER’ — The Washington Times — by Stephen Dinan

Groups that support a crackdown on illegal aliens haven’t settled on their champion in the race for the White House, but there’s little doubt which Republican scares them most — former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

“He was an absolute disaster on immigration as governor,” said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, a group that played a major role in rallying the phone calls that helped defeat this year’s Senate immigration bill. “Every time there was any enforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens.”

“Huckabee is the guy who scares the heck out of me,” said Peter Gadiel, president of 9-11 Families for a Secure America, a group instrumental in fighting for the REAL ID Act that sets federal standards for driver’s licenses.

Some leaders said Mr. Huckabee reminds them of President Bush, who pushed for legalization of illegal aliens and a new supply of foreign guest workers, despite his base calling for better border security and enforcement.

“I would say that Huckabee comes from the same perspective on the issue that George W. Bush came from — that out of a strong sense of compassion, he tries to identify with someone who comes to the United States, even if they came illegally,” said Steven A. Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies.

Mr. Huckabee yesterday defended his record, but he said if voters are looking for the toughest guy, he’s not their man.

James J. Boulet Jr., executive director of English First, which wants to make English the official language of the government, said Mr. Romney had the best official record on that issue, opposing bilingual education during his term as Massachusetts governor.

Both Mr. Romney and Mr. Thompson have said they wouldn’t create a new pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens, and Mr. Romney also has hinted he wants illegal aliens to go home through attrition.

As for Rudolph W. Giuliani, several leaders said his record as New York mayor was worrisome — he ran a sanctuary city, which means the identity of illegal aliens was kept from authorities in some cases — but they are impressed with his tough border-security position.

Readers of this blog: Just remember that political polls vary by polling entity and that polls are lagging indicators. In my opinion, the polls you are seeing today showing Huckabee as a close second to Governor Romney or pressing him for the number one slot, are based on the soft news Huckabee was getting two to three weeks ago. News like what you just read above will be reflected in polls a week, two weeks, three weeks from now. And remember that the deadline is coming up very soon in Iowa for absentee ballots to be turned in.
