Rockin' Huckabee
Tuesday June 10, 2008
Jennifer Rubin has a nice bit over at Pajamas Media about the hypocrisy in the media towards candidate Obama's rigid idealogy.
She points out his extreme protectionism via his dishonest claims about NAFTA cost the US jobs when we have, in fact, created over 26 million jobs in this country since its inception.
His insistence on universal health care ignores the fact that in Massachusetts and screamingly liberal California, gov't run health care is a disaster. RomneyCare in MA is losing money on the order of billions of dollars, and CA simply gave up on the idea.
Obama's pledge to raise taxes despite evidence that doing so would decrease tax revenues, ignoring progress in Iraq, and refusal to accept information not filtered through his campaign (something Bush has been repeatedly excoriated for) are all highlighted in the article.
Her closing remarks some it up best:
"The great irony of the Democratic nomination process has been that in an election year in which the public is supposedly fed up with extreme partisanship and ideological extremism, the Democrats selected the most liberal member of the Senate, who averts his eyes when confronted with data that does not match up with his ideological convictions. This does not seem to bother his media fan club, nor concern those who are convinced that he represents an entirely new approach to politics. Perhaps it should.
"The real test of an “ideologue” is not how strongly or how eloquently he expresses deeply held views, but whether he can account for new data and adjust policy designs to reflect the real world. If voters think the current administration has been unwilling or delinquent in doing those things, they may be sorely disappointed in an Obama administration."
Great stuff! Read the entire article here:

. . . five months early.
The afore referenced Allahpundit from HotAir concedes the Presidential election today citing in part George Will's op-ed piece in Newsweek.
In the piece, Will basically says that McCain's pro-life stance will drive women voters away in droves to Obama. Will also assumes that a nebulous suggestion that Obama is a Muslim has been holding down his popularity and once that is disabused, his stock will rise exponentially based almost soley on his command of the English language.
Trust a snooty beltway elitist to think voters will gush for anyone who can stitch together a couple of flowery sentences. I'm not sure what bothers me the most, Will's condescention or Allah's gutless penchant to give up at every obstacle. This is the same clown who was running the Aliens clip -- "Game over, man. Game over!" when Huck won the caucus in Iowa. And subsequently at every defeat of his candidate of choice.
The worst part is that once again these clowns are dreaming of a new conservative movement springing up in the wake of an Obama presidency. Like during the primaries, by first advocating that conservative voters withold their votes, these cowards would rather sit back and allow the country to be ruined then hope for a phoenix-like resurrection in the Republican party. And at the same time, they could say "Don't blame us, we didn't vote for him." Beyond childish.
Here's my suggestion boys -- strap on a pair and fight for what you believe in. Go down swinging, not with a whimper. And quit selling your countrymen short, five months of citizens learning about Obama's incompetence for leadership may still win the day for McCain.
And save this country from ruin.

Barak Obama leaves his church of twenty years in the wake of story after story of hateful racist rhetoric from the church's pastor, Obama's spiritual advisor, have popped up in the media. Here's the money quote from the messiah:
“I’m not denouncing the church, and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church . . . it’s not a church worthy of denouncing.”
This guy is a new version of Bill Clinton, dumping anyone who gets in his way of being elected. But that quote, which I'm sure he will denounce in time, is one of the most brutal brush offs in recent memory. Even Billy Jeff had more tactful ways off scraping people off.
Obama's campaigned on the premise that he's real, not a typical politician, but he's shown himself to be just that: a pandering, oportunistic politician. And a one man gaffe machine as well. How Democrats are voting for this guy over Hillary is beyond me.

Found this at a place called The Huckabee Alliance:
There is big news tonight out of South Carolina that you won’t hear from the media. The Republican Party of South Carolina has elected it’s first African-American Republican National Committeeman, Glenn McCall! It’s also possible that he will be the very first African American Republican National Committeeman from the entire South! The Next Right has more details.
So what does this have to do with Mike Huckabee and the Huckabee Republican movement? McCall was endorsed for the position by Governor Mike Huckabee. McCall defeated the incumbent who was endorsed by the Christian Coalition. This speaks in a large volume about what is occurring in the Republican Party and the Evangelical movement at large. The followers in the pews are overpowering their leaders at the pulpit who are fading away into obscurity and/or showing an extreme lack of leadership.
Also while he was eventually defeated in his run for the President, Governor Huckabee has planted seeds in the ground and his followers are sowing them. They are not just sitting idly by for their next chance to try again for Huck. They are now using their newly-found political experience (Most of us have never been involved politically before) by running for offices both, large and small, across this land (not to mention positions within the Republican party itself). The seeds Huckabee has planted are now sprouting into plants.
A month ago I was very wary of the possibility that Mike Huckabee could be named John McCain’s running mate. Don’t get me wrong - I am all for that in fact I endorse Mike Huckabee for Vice President. However I feel it is important to mention that at the time I was very concerned that Mike Huckabee would not be able to continue to lead his movement to change the GOP for the better.
Today I am very confident that his followers can carry the torch by themselves if they had to. Keep in mind It was us, the grassroots supporters that were a big force behind Huckabee’s success (as Huck did not have a lot of money). We were able to close some of the money gap with our zeal and passion.
I realize that the establishment wing of the GOP is now combining forces to try to defeat us. Well go ahead, make my day! Ours is a battle worth fighting for and we are not going to be turned away so easily!
Nice to see stuff like this.
