Huckabee: The momentum continues

This is absolutely amazing. 

Daily tracking numbers from Rasmussen shows Huck and Rudy tied for the lead nationally. 

“With less than a month to go before the Iowa caucuses, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that Rudy Giuliani has fallen back in the pack in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani’s support has fallen to 18% and four other candidates are within six percentage points of the lead. Mike Huckabee is enjoying an amazing surge and now shares the top spot with Giuliani at 18%. Close behind are John McCain at 14%, Fred Thompson at 13%, and Mitt Romney at 12%. Ron Paul attracts 7% of Likely Republican Primary voters nationwide and no other Republican candidate reaches 2% (see recent daily numbers).”

  1. And this really has them stirred up at H A and AoS. There starting to sound like dhems, eating their own.

  2. How about some reality based humor?

  3. You’re not going to believe this, or probably you will. Some of these people really need to be told to where to go.

  4. Oh good grief!
    Any one can find some reason to be offended, it’s just certain protected species get more rights than others.
    If those yankees had said it and spelled it right, they wouldn’t have had this problem in the first place.
    It’s po’k chop!

  5. I’ve always thought Beaner was the Hispanic slur of choice. Or was that just a So Cal thing?

  6. So I take it Hot Air and little green snotwads is pro-Giuliani?
    I can understand the snotwad owner supporting him, he is a liberal that talks a good game on the GWOT, but Hot Air too?
    I don’t get it.
    I still want to see Mike take a more forceful opposition to the illegal immigration problem we face. It should be explained to him as a national security issue, not a moral issue, if that would help him get with the program.

  7. I don’t know what the heck is up with HA. I meant Ace of Spades. They’re sounding like Kos Kids over there, I’ve quit going there. I don’t know what snotwad likes or doesn’t like and really don’t care. Once I saw a picture of him with the ponytail, I lost interest in anything he had to say. He’s just an opportunist who’s showing his true colors now.

  8. As far as I can tell the Hot Air gang likes Fred and everyone else be damned.

  9. So Aces is for…Guiliani?
    I don’t have any real issues with Fred, just his disinterest is off putting.

  10. Giuliani / McCain it appears.

  11. Well, things are constantly evolving in this election cycle, and there will undoubtedly be more surprises. Still a ways to go, yet.
    Some people need to get over themselves, and not get so locked in emotionally on the candidates, especially the Paulistinians.
    We’re gonna need every vote we can get to turn back the DemonRats, come next November.

  12. My point exactly. Quit acting like Dhems and have some civil discussion without the mudslinging.

    Be back in a bit, more lights to hang. :smile:

  13. Yeah, I gotta get some things done. See y’all this evenin’.
    Don’t let them lights hang you!

  15. Now this is funny, I don’t care who you are.

  16. That is funny. But on the other hand, so is her idea.

  17. This pretty funny too.

    “I’m OK — a little shaken up,” Ms. Benjamin told The Washington Times by telephone from her hotel in Lahore. “They mistreated us.”

    Ms. Benjamin said she feared for her life as the agents held her at gunpoint in a car speeding through the city to the police station.

    “I thought I was going to die in the car,” she said. “They totally terrorized us.”

    Let’s try that again.

  19. Evening y’all.
    Been doing a little researching, and filing.
    Fred thompson campaign has gotten desperate, and is going negative. They ran a negative ad during the last Republican debate, signaling to their internet supporters to do the same. Their friends at HA, Free Republic, and others have convinced me that a little return fire might discourage them from being such azzholes. Probably not. But, just in case, I’m loading up on negative research. :mrgreen:

  20. So that’s what happened!
    Plenty of crappola to stick on everybody out there.

  21. HA has really surprised me with the F**K Huck stuff. They’re acting like he’s a democrat. They don’t pick on anyone else on the republican side like that. Fill those ammo cans nuke!!

  22. Robert D, what I thought was so funny was, it was an attack ad on HRT by democrats, and the name of the group…two words I never thought I would see together in a title…Democratic Courage.
    LOL!

  23. there’s a lot of stuff out there. Some of it is pretty funny.
    Here’s one Link
    y’all feel free to email me with anything that y’all find.

  24. I’ll do-dat.

  25. I can skip Powerline now. Too bad, they were my first connection to the right wing internet.

    Mike Huckabee — too moralistic

    Why can’t anybody say what they Like about their candidate, instead of bashing others? Could it be Mike is scaring them into acting like democrates?

  26. democrates? sheesh…..

  27. No, you got it right the first time.
    Dang, the first episode of Combat ever is on, when Saunders, Hanley, and the squad are in D-Day.
    Back after an hour.

  28. Harry Dean Stanton is a private, in this episode, and he is nervous in the service.

  29. American Thinker has a good one.

    This is priceless! Bill complains about wife’s press

  30. I dunno. I think that Powerline raises legitimate questions about his determination to fight the WoT. Y’all know it ain’t over yet.

  31. But two in one day? WTF?

    Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter

    I think it is a little too much.

    I was wrong, they are all over Tancredo tonight. It is Fred or nothing.

  33. Of all the issues that Mike has addressed, I have only one concern, and that is position on illegals. All the other issues he has addressed to my satisfaction. The handling of the GWOT is something that none of the candidates, on either side, knows how to do, and even W was thrust into the fight without preparation. Just because Rudy happened to be in NYC when the WTC was hit, doesn’t make him uniquely qualified for this fight. Rudy’s pluses and minuses tell me he is uniquely qualified to be the AG or the Director of the FBI, but not the chief exec. Thompson’s support of campaign finance reform tells me he has a poor understanding of the constitution and policy ramifications.

  34. So, Robert D, did you get you Christmas lights done, and llooking fabulous?

  35. Well, Swamps, to my knowledge, he hasn’t come out against long-term detention of terrorists. That is a flat misrepresentation at Powerline.

    And the statements about being “moralistic”…..
    we need to remain in Iraq because “we broke it.” Not because we need to defeat al Qaeda; not because we need to limit Iranian influence or avoid a devastating defeat at the hands of terrorists; but because we injured this formerly peaceful state. Huckabee’s exaltation of moralism (in this case dubious) over policy calculation was difficult to miss.
    I watched that debate. Huck said nothing at all about the “formerly peaceful state” of Iraq. He did tell Ron Raul that “we broke it. ” He also said that our honor was at stake in Iraq, and leaving before victory would dishonor the sacrifice made by our Armed Forces. He said that was more important than winning an election. Powerline is spinning, ratrionalizing, campaigning, and fibbing.

  36. None of them are perfect, but all are better than what the dems are offering.

    No not all the lights are up yet, it is an ongoing adventure. I could stop now, but I have so much more to add and I love the festive look in an otherwise drab little town. (but thanks for the feeling of inadequacy) :neutral:

  37. I am against Huck’s position on global warming. If I understand it correctly, he supports a mandatory cap and trade program for CO2.
    I haven’t seen that on any of his position statements, but I did find an old news article saying that in the headline, but the actual quote from Huck was less dogmatic.

    On the illegal immigration issue, his stated position is to build the fence. If that seems different than the Thompson campaign has painted, it is. But, this issue lends itself to demogoguery, and is not going to be solved in a campaign year. So, if any candidate says, border security first, then they are definitely listening to the will of the people. Whatever happens after that, is going to have to be hashed out by both sides, and in good faith. Good faith is in short supply, unfortunately.

  38. Hey, I was rooting you on, Robert D, how could I know what you was up to? For all I know, you is gonna make a Griswald Christmas look like a pitiful party. :grin:

    I haven’t read Powerline in a long while, and from what I’m seeing, I haven’t missed much. Moralistic…that’s a bad thing now, for conservatives? Besides, how does “we broke it” even approach moralizing?
    /???
    So is PL a Fred, Rudy, or Mitt lover?
    Mike isn’t that scary, I’ve ridden in a car with him, and he didn’t scare me one bit, made me feel like I was with an old home boy, but he sure is scaring the bajeezus out of a bunch of folks.

  39. On the global warming thing, I hadn’t heard anything from him on that, but with my reference point, it isn’t in my top ten of important issues. I know he said build the fence, but his allowing or encouraging the Mexican gubmint to open a consulate in Arkansas, and the scholarship program for children of illegals, has me, and others, just a might sensitive on his entire approach to the illegal problem. What I’m saying is, I want him to get rock solid on the issue, no wiggle room, equivocation, justifications, or waffles, all the while without flippin’an’a'floppin.’
    /i don’t expect much from a candidate

  40. I don’t know the solution. But I agree the first step is to stem the flow.

  41. Just teezin’ ya n2l. I don’t have anywhere near that display, or the power source it must take to run it but it is great. We have a guy in the “big town”, Redding , that had a display that made that look small. The grinches bitched enough that he had quit putting it up in his neighborhood. (traffic was terrible there) It’s up in Down town now. I’ll see if I can find a link.

    As for Powerline, I browse the headlines and read the occasional article, but I haven’t seen them treat anyone on the right like this. Mike is scaring a lot of people, HA, PL, AoS, and I can’t remember them all but I will take note. It just PO’s me that they have to bash a front runner, instead of praising their candidate. Maybe there is not that much to praise?

  42. I want a solid answer to immigration also, but we aint gettin’ it from anyone but Tancredo and he seems to upset the sensitive twerps that want to be PC. Just build the fence, (plug the dam) and we’ll deal with the rest when the flood stops. What is so hard about that?

  43. I agree, stem the flow, to a more manageable number, and the ones that are here are more noticeable. There was story on John Gibson’s show about how the Phoenix police are demanding a different approach to inquiring into the legal status of Mexicans, after a policeman was killed by an illegal a little while back.
    The county hospital in Ft. Worth is declining treatment to illegals for anything other than emergency services, and the UT Medical Branch in Galveston is refusing cancer treatments to illegals.
    If this continues, it will make the risk of getting here illegally much more unattractive, and only then will the Mexican people, their gubmint, and our’s, actually work to find an acceptable solution. W proposed a guest worker program a few years back, and he got screamed at by the open border people, and those opposed to any illegals, but in theory, it can work. It sure does in Canada’s agricultural projects.

  44. I can agree with a guest worker program, after getting rid of any illegal that broke any law (misdemeanor or felony) and after building the fence. Driscoll grows a lot of strawberries in the northstate, and most of the work is done by Mexicans. Most are good people, some are here to take advantage of our hospitality. I would like to see who is who.

    BTW, they are not taking jobs Americans would do. They work way to hard for what they make.
