Huckacritic is a hypocrit and a scoundrel!

Carl

Maybe you could mentioned that Romney was the first to sign ‘no new tax pledge’??

Thanks Carl Huckabee…………………I mean Cameron.

Sounds buddy like – calling him Mick. I loved the look on your face Carl after the wife submit to husband question was answered.

Huckabilly is a fraud

Carl, you should really think before you write. No taxes and no illegal immigration have always been cornerstones of Mike Hukabee’s position. You also know that Mike Huckabee has repeatedly stated he does not support push polling and has asked repeatedly for those who are doing it to stop. Of course you already know all of this which leads me to ask: What are you trying to pull?

Hey Carl,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just an FYI if you did not see. Former Independent Presidential canidate has harsh words for McCain and told NEWSWEEK that he’s voting for Mitt Romney in Texas primary.

(its on page two of this article link)

http://www.newsweek.com/id/94827

How is Huckabee not called a flip-flopper! I thought it wasn’t the children’s fault for the sins of the parents? But wait, isn’t that “original sin?”

Lets think about that!

This push polling is no different than all the others. The candidates to not support this. It is too bad that some zealous supporters have to do these kind of cheap tatics.

How can this man sleep at night?What a change in his immigration policy.And he has the nerve to call Mitt Romney a flip-flopper?I sure hope conservative voters see through this hypocrite!

I will take a little push polling over BLATANT VOTE BUYING with TAX PAYER money like Mitt “Captain Pander” Romney did in Michigan with his 20 billion dollar corporate fascism initiative in Michigan. Is that conservative? Hardly.

Where is Fox News on Fred Thompson REFUSING to support the republican platform and its call for a Human Life Amendment? Funny but I never hear the corporate SHILLS at Fox ever mention that. Similarly, you never mention that Thompson was a REGISTERED foreign agent for LIBYA. Why is that?

Fox has always been fair and balanced but that was before anyone within the GOP seriously opposed the establishment republicans penchant for BAILING OUT BIG BUSINESS.
A few business leaders whine about losses on wall street and Bernanke runs right out to cut the interest rates even more so as to drive our dollar into the ground and destroy main street republicans buying power. Well I have some news for the GOP that you wont hear on FOX. The days of the country club GOP are over. There is more to our party than smearing the Christian Right and stearing tax dollars to big business.

Huckabee 08!

This is borderline dishonest.

Your comments are unfair and untrue. This is far from “fair and balanced” reporting.

Governor Huckabee has always been strong on illegal immigration. He signed the AFTR pledge not to raise taxes a long time ago (whereas Thompson, McCain, and Giuliani did not sign it). He and his campaign have repeatedly denounced pushpolling, and has repeatedly asked that these groups cease and desist.

Huckabee has been playing this kind of two-faced game for years. He had Dick Morris doing his dirty work in Arkansas back when Morris was still close to the Clintons.

Now Huckabee is using the same bag of dirty tricks to malign a true American hero. I don’t expect people to vote for McCain if they disagree with him on issues, but I do expect a self-proclaimed “Christian leader” like Huckabee to refrain from spreading, or being complicit in the spreading of, lies about a man who has sacrificed far more for this country than the money-grubbing Huckabee ever will.

Looks like you can’t trust the Fox polls either.

You’re funny to claim that Huckabee and his supporters are more willing to play tough than any of the other candidates. What planet are you from?

I support Mike Huckabee. He’s over and over said he does not condone push polling and has asked these people to stop. According to Rasmussen he is ahead of the rest of the candidates in the polls. He’s had fliers that attack him by a group no one seems to know anything about. When he answers negative comments and attacks he’s blasted for it. He’s done more with less money than any other candidate and will continue to do so and with a broader base than what the news media says he has. He was just endorsed this morning by the Lt Gov of South Carolina.
I live in Arkansas and I voted for him. I know what he did in Arkansas against a strongly Democratic State legislature. Sure he raised taxes with our approval. We voted for it. We wanted our roads safer and our children to have better educations. He was a good governor, and he will be a good president.

Huckabee did not just start with the negative campaigning and sneaky attack recently. he has been doing so since the beginning. You can’t hide your rue nature forever… specially when in the limelight.

Time will show that Romney is the candidate with integrity!

According to Mitt Romney, comparing records is not negative. Negativity involves character assasination. However, when the politial rhetoric raises every stand on an issue to a “with us or against us” level, then any comparison is viewed as negative to he comparee. Is comparee a word?

Anyway. I will vote for Mike Huckabee.

Google Ed rollins.You will see what kind of guy Huck has doing his dirty work.You’ll see how he admitted to TIME magazine that he paid black pastors in and dem camp workers to suppress the vote so his girl Christine Whitman could win.Not exactly the kind of thing a devout Baptist preacher should approve of.He is a one trick pony that is also foundered.If you want pure CLASS and INTEGRITY …vote for FRED—-see Fred08.com

If you believe Huckabee is not behind the push-polls and has tried to get them to stop. I have some ocean front property in Nebraska I want to sell you. He is desperate, he has lost every sate since IA and fading fast (the sooner the better). He will finish 3rd in NV, 3rd or 4th in SC and FL and hopefully we will see the last of him. Not even Fox News propping him up can save his candidacy.

Listening to ED Hill and the discussion regarding Mitt Romney, his staff, and the fact that he is leaving South Carolina for other states. This is no surprise as the Evangelicals have made no secret of the fact they wouldn’t support Mr. Romney as most of them believe Mormonism is a cult not a religion. Some of their leaders have said this publicly as have other Christian leaders. I agree with who ever made the comment about “religious bigotry” popping its ugly head in this campaign and unfortunately, Mr. Romney seems to be the recipient of this attitude which should be deplored by all Republicans.

Why do you bother to have this comment section when noone who supports Huckabee can post here. I have sent in a few supportive comments only to be summarily ignored. Maybe you need to change the info on the blog from powered by word press.com to POWERED BY THE COUNTRY CLUB GOP where we only notice the Christian Right when we are begging for votes in the general. FOX NEWS…. NO LONGER FAIR OR BALANCED

Carl!

I’m proud of you sir, I was beginning to think no one at FOX was going to catch Huckabee’s apparent “Flip-Flop” on the amnesty issue. But you also jibed him on coming late to the tax pledge and his “Flip-Flopping” campaign tactics too. You’ve won some redemtion.

If McCain and/or the Huckster are able to pull this sham over on the good people of South Carolina it will be a travisty.

Buy the SNAKE OIL drink my Kool-Aid I’m Happy Huck I’ll take care of you and you won’t have to worry about a thing. Please send check or money order to CAMP HUCKTOWN p.s. all contributions are not tax deductable.

Changed your article from being negative to positive didn’t ya?

Carl Cameron is a rude,arrogant and completely ignorant reporter. Then again he is right at home with the other fox little dictators who try to belittle people and think they are always right. Fair and balanced? I think not!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM NOT A FAN OF HUCKABEES. I AM FOR THOMPSON. HE IS THE ONLY REAL CONSERVATIVE I HEAR, BUT I WILL VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN THERE. WE CAN’T HAVE A LIBERAL ESPECIALLY CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN. NOT ONE OF THE GOP ARE PERFECT BUT ANY OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN HER.OUR COUNTRY WILL BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY IN NO TIME. I CANNMOT BELIEVE HOW THE PEOPLE FALL FOR HER CRYING AND GAME PLAYING FOR THE CROWD. WHAT IS WORSE, DFO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE BILL WOULDN’T BE IN THERE PULLING STRINGS. HE IS NOW. PEOPLE WAKE UP, READ, LISTEN, WATCH, AND DON’T BE FOOLED BY ALL THESE PUNDITS WHO WOULD LOVE THE GOP TO LOSE AND BECOME A MINORITY PARTY FOREVER.

Hey Carl,

I’ve followed the campaign every day, watching mostly Fox News. Huckabee has never initiated the attacks. He has a right to respond. What Mitt did in Iowa and Fred did on the Fox debate in S. C. was unprovoked. And then everyone says Thompson did so well. One guy in the focus group got it right. He said Fred was rude and nasty, desperate to get some attention or something to that effect. Huckabee had very little time to defend himself. Mike’s adjustment in immigration rhetoric is very minor. The actual policy would change very little.

I really get disgusted at the cynicism and hatred toward Huckabee, knowing it is because he is a Christian minister. Evangelicals represent a big part of this country, but they have had very few representatives in government. It’s about time for a Huckabee to change that.

It has never been a secret that Carl loves Huckabee. I wonder who he will support when Huckabee eventually has to drop out. He is a one hit wonder and keeps getting worse as he goes on. He’s dishonest, a week conservative, and a bigot. His tactics may work at the pulpit, but not in a campaign. I can’t believe the pundits, even Fox news, keep declaring there is no frontrunner. Mitt Romney has twice the wins, over twice the delegates, more votes total so far, and has raised the most money. I wonder if they will change their tune after he wins Nevada this weekend and increases his lead in the delegate count.

Perhaps Romney gave up on SC because his message doesn’t compete with this:

“A FAIR DEAL FOR ALL AMERICANS: Five Principles of a Mike Huckabee Stimulus Package”

http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=1178

Republicans in South Carolina, Florida and other states also ought to consider why 4 out of 5 would be conservative GOP candidates do not strongly support traditional marriage. What’s up with that?

http://huckablogger.com/blog/2008/01/save-marriage-vote-for-huckabe.html

Kyle – you are not alone. I am a Huckabee supporter and my comments don’t always show up here either. I doubt that it is Carl Cameron’s doing though. Probably someone behind the scenes that doesn’t care for Huckabee.

Huckabee is starting to climb today in the SC polls. It is the same phenomenon we’ve seen in the other states. All you need to do is go hear Huckabee speak. He is a great communicator, and he is NOT a liberal as the Republican elites would like you to believe. He is for smaller government but he also understands that government has a role… so why not make it work more efficiently (such as the FairTax).

Typical FOXNEWS biased coverage against Huckabee. The FOXNEWS Mitt Romney lovefest continues.

you’re right sharon. huckabee will gather pastors and other religious leaders to get them to tell their congregations to vote for a baptist minister.

the media seems to ignore that Nevada has more delegates than South Carolina! I wonder why all the attention is on SC then…could it be that Huckabee WILL win because of his RELIGION not because he should be president?? Could anybody imagine that man having broad appeal in all fifty states? in states that aren’t 60% evangelical christian? or dealing with foreign policy? he says things like this on national tv – “When I was in college my roomates and I used to roast and eat squirrel in a popcorn popper when we had no food” why would you share something like that? why… I think a fair question would be, why should you be president of the strongest nation in the world when even the things you say aren’t presedential?

Fox is part of the media now. they’re talking more about celebrities than about real issues like ummm….national security/illegal immigration, global warming, oil prices…. a more accurate title for this story would be “Huckabee Caves”.

So far Romney has two golds and two silvers as his campaign puts it and has the highest delegate count! the front runner right now is NOT MCCAIN, GULIANI, OR HUCKABEE, it is the only canidate fit to be President of the USA– Mitt Romney! Romney is worth millions and has no need for fame or riches. he has all that! he’s running to serve the people and make a difference in washington! out of the 92 campaign promises he made running for governer of Massachussetts he fulfilled all 92!!! if he’s promising to lower taxes for the middle class, to end illegal immigration, a plan to get us energy independant, to improve our economy — you better believe he’s going to deliver.

Go Romney ‘08!

If you’re gonna google,then google Joseph smith,the real campaign manager of Captin Pander

Push polling benefited him in Iowa, as well…

Two weeks ago, he was not attacking his opponents…now that is all that he can do because he doesn’t have a conservative record to run on.

Cooking squirrels in a popcorn cooker is just stupid.

Plays guitar, cooks squirrels, tells jokes…President of the United States of America? Maybe of opossum lodge, but not 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

Huck is not presidential

McCain is too old and chased too many women (while married!)

.

Marie,is there anyone running on the republican side that has the money,to support a group to attack Huckabee like that….Ya don’t think the car salesman of the group would do that do ya
I think fox oughta run the dirtiest campaign poll again.I think the same person that won last time would win again……..

Let’s face it, there’s not much “dirt” to find on Huckabee. That makes you, Fox News, and others resort to using your “magnifying glasses” to find negatives about him. If you did that to the other Republican candidates, none of them would stand a chance. What happens to Huckabee? He moves up in the polls. He is an honest man full of integrity. He is the only electable Republican.

When I first heard of Mike Huckabee this past summer, I was so excited to have a Republican candidate whom I could actually vote for. I have been heavily involved with politics since college, and it saddened me to think that this was going to be the first presidential election where I would not be able to vote. (Gee, do I vote for awful Democrat or the Demopublican candidate????)

Go Huckabee! My entire family supports you 100%! To those not sure who to vote for, check out Mike’s website: http://www.mikehuckabee.com

Huckabee is a “breath of fresh air!” He is intelligent, honest, compassionate, an incredible debater, and the only true conservative running! Know the facts!

It looks like Huckster is has made the push polling part of his campaign, oh but wait, he told his supporters NOT to push poll… “So just to show ya’ll how clean a camapayn I’s a runnin’, See here are the push polls to prove it….Yeh them’s the things I toll em not ta sahy” What a LYing hippocrit…

I wonder why I never hear about Fred Thompson being one of the few Republican Senators that voted with the Democrats against the impeachment of Clinton. Even liberal minded John McCain voted with the Republicans. How can Thompson claim to be the true conservative?

Any way you measure it, Mike Huckabee is the true conservative in this race.

I want to challenge Americans too really look at whant Huckabee did as governor, versus what Romney did as governor. At least Mike Huckabee voted true to his convictions while Romney signed the bill into law on same sex marriage in Massachusettes. Why is it nobody ever mentions this fact that is on public record? Because they don’t want to do any research on their own, that’s why. And that is why Mike Huckabee has at least 2 votes in Texas that I know of – mine and my husbands!

I sorry, but thinking about voting for a hypocrit lik Huck anymore makes me sick. This was planned all along – he set out to lie and deceive others into thinking he was SO Christ-like that he would never do such a thing as attack other candidates (or “you know who” forbid actually comparing one record to another). Is this (hypocrisy) what the Baptists are preaching these days? Interesting. The funny thing is that the media (like the experts at Fox News) fell for it when they aided Huck in his Win by roasting Romney over the coals for running a “dirty” campaign. Don’t I remember a blog that overheard Rollins telling his wife in a cafe that he planned on going dirty in the future? When challenged about that on Fox he said that was a “private conversation” with his wife and he declined to comment. Huck, its okay, we all sin at times. But planning to lie and deceive just to get votes seems like a rather “poor-choice” (like I tell me 2.5 year old son) for one who claims to be a Christian leader.

By the way – what qualifications does Huck have to be President? A Masters of Arts degree from a Baptist Theological Seminary that took him 4 years to get surely can’t be his only qualification in addition to a BA from a Baptist school to be president of the most powerful nation in the world? That hardly compares to the Harvard MBA/JD and real life leadership, business, and international experience that Romney brings to the table.

Huck, The contributed cash on hand that you have is barely enough to buy a house in some of the states you’ll be competing in on Super Tuesday. Please take this seriously. Just like McCain will need a few republicans to actually vote for him, you will need some voters other than those who THINK you share their religious faith and convictions. Maybe this hypocrisy is a way of relating to them?

What Huckabee Signed

Report by Roy Beck, Executive Director of NumbersUSA
and President of Americans for Better Immigration
(January 16, 2008) I just returned from a day in Greenville, South Carolina where I monitored campaign rallies of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.).

(Please see item at the bottom of this about Sen. Thompson, Gov. Romney, Rep. Paul and Rep. Hunter.)

Newspapers and internet news purveyors are beginning to report on a press conference held late afternoon at North Greenville University in which Huckabee signed a No-Amnesty pledge sponsored by Americans for Better Immigration, which rates Members of Congress, congressional candidates and Presidential contenders on immigration issues (see our Presidential Grid).

I spoke at the press conference and thanked Huckabee for making it clear that he (1) opposes allowing millions of illegal aliens to remain in the United States and that (2) he would not give them any special path back into the U.S. once they are caused to return to their home countries.

I began my remarks to a busload of journalists and photographers by noting that we never endorse candidates, will not be endorsing anybody in the Presidential race and that my appearance at the press conference should not imply endorsement. Rather, my participation today was to congratulate Huckabee for his expression of willingness to make an iron-clad pledge against amnesty and for attrition through enforcement.

We have offered to appear at a signing like this with any candidate who will take the pledge. Gov. Huckabee contacted us several days ago expressing interest in discussing the pledge and signing it.

Here is the pledge:

I pledge to oppose amnesty or any other special path to citizenship for the millions of foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States. As President, I will fully implement enforcement measures that, over time, will lead to the attrition of our illegal immigrant population. I also pledge to make security of our borders a top priority of my administration.

We allow candidates to take our suggested language on the pledge and mold it to their own style but subject to our approval.

Before accepting this pledge, I emailed the following assumptions contained in the pledge to which Huckabee would have to agree. Staff responded that they were accepted. I then met with Huckabee today to ensure that we were both on the same page and to shake hands on the following agreement:

Governor Huckabee understands his pledge to mean that:

1. The 12 million illegal aliens now here will have to go home.

2. They will not get any legal status while here that allows them to remain long-term.

3. Once in their home countries, they may apply for re-admittance to the U.S. as immigrants, visitors or temporary workers through normal channels.

4. But they will not receive any special privileges on the basis of their having been in the U.S. illegally, such as being put to the front of a line.

5. There will be no new categories or programs through which they may re-enter.

6. There will not be an expansion of green cards in any existing categories that will speed up their movement to the front of the line.

I told the governor that each of those items deals with a trick that one lawmaker or another has tried to use on the American people over the last four years. I told him that I had to be able to assure the 530,000 activist on-line users of NumbersUSA that I had specifically gotten his assurance that he would reject any of those tricks.

It should be noted that most illegal aliens would not qualify to stand in any existing lines, particularly under Huckabee’s overall plan which advocates for the elimination of the chain migration category for adult siblings and an end to the visa lottery.

My prepared statement at the press conference included this:
“Every candidate claims to oppose amnesty, but few define amnesty the way most Americans do. I applaud Gov. Huckabee for defining amnesty correctly, and for pledging to fully enforce laws that would take away the jobs and benefits magnets that draw illegal aliens here – and that keep them here.

“What a contrast to Sen. McCain, Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama, for example, who say they reject amnesty and then, in almost the same breath, say that most illegal aliens will have to be allowed to stay permanently. All three have repeatedly voted for amnesty. In the past week, Sen. McCain and Mayor Giuliani have clarified on national TV that they intend for most illegal aliens to be granted the very things they broke immigration laws to steal: an American job and U.S. residency.

“In a time of economic insecurity for many Americans, and rising joblessness, it is important to know which candidates would permanently fill American jobs with illegal foreign workers. I am pleased that Gov. Huckabee is saying he will not do that. He is taking a stand in favor of American workers, their families and their communities, all of whom need to be assured that once these illegal workers leave this country they will not be allowed back through special new catetories or by increasing the number of green cards in existing ones.”

Well, you changed the article from what it was earlier today but it is still not accurate. It is nice to see FoxNews showing it’s true colors even more blatantly these days though. Why not post some of these twisted and spun half-truths against Romney or Guiliani? Or even Fred Thompson?

You insinuate that Huckabee just recently signed the no tax pledge but in fact:

“The former Arkansas governor signed the Presidential Taxpayer Protection Pledge for Americans for Tax Reform after announcing his intentions last week at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.” See MSNBC.com Politics March 7, 2007

I don’t see where Mike Huckabee is flip flopping. The only thing I heard is that he gave an equal opportunity for the kids of illegal aliens that had been here since Kindergarten the same chance at scholorships as the rest of us. But he is against amnesty. He said he didn’t have the power (somewhat like Guiliani said about New York) on the state level to do anything about the illegal immigration and he would rather have the people he can’t do anything about at least be productive rather than destructive. So, he wants to run for President so he can actually work on where the power lies to get what he would have preferred to do done. I don’t see that as flip flopping, I just see that as dealing with what you have but wish would change and then working hard to get to the place where you actually can make changes.

Sorry Sharon,facts are facts,and if you would take the time to check the acqusations out,you wouldn’t be defending Romney,unless you go to the temple…in that case I guess you don’t have a choice,but could still check it out

Well, he won’t win anyways, so I see this as largely inconsequential.

He is a tool though.

You know Carl is amazes me to see the just how deep some of your responders really think. If anyone think that Huckabee is a person who goes around in the night planning these little get even ads and digs well good lord, welcome back to 3rd grade. Huckabee, like McCain, Romney, Thompson, Clinton, and Obama have staffs (duh), who will often stop and nothing to get their candidate elected. Oh sure many who will read this and ask what planet am I from? But, I contend, Huckabee, like the other candidates are decent men and women, who are caught up in the machine we call a campaign and the people who help them are sometimes less than honest in their attempt to get their candidate ahead. I do beleive Huckabee is listening to much to his advisors and losing his positive message true, but I do not buy some of the views of some of the other writers. I think they are too quick to judge, to young to understand or reason, or just want to believe whatever feels good.

First of all, Mike Huckabee signed the No New Taxes Pledge ages ago- LONG before the NH primary, so that statement by Cameron is 100% false.

Secondly, the negative spin put on Governor Huckabee’s immigration positions is mind-boggling. He has never, at any point, supported amnesty. PERIOD. The one thing he does advocate is having a humane attitude toward the immigrants themselves, as people, reminding us to be thankful we live in a country people are trying to break into, not break out of. Governor Huckabee wants us to be very careful to avoid developing racist or paranoid attitudes toward the immigrant families. But that is in no way contradictory with his tough immigration policy, which is focused, first and foremost, on the building of a secure border fence. Being tough- but still compassionate- is called doing things the right way.

One more point I’d like to make is about the push-polling: Mike Huckabee has made very effort possible to run a positive, optimistic campaign, and he has succeeded even without attacking his rivals back when they attack him. I remember at least three times in recent months, going back to before the Iowa Caucus, that he has publicly denounced the push-polling and asked the group to stop.

Folks………as a Gov, you deal with the laws in place from Wash DC. Gov Huckabee had to educate and provide healthcare for citizens in his state. His scholarship plan for the children of illegals was merit based. They were not given anything. They had to compete with the rest of the students and could only earn the scholarship if they had become a US citizen.

Since congress (Thompson & McCain) said states had to educate these kids, Gov Huckabee thought it would be good to reward those that excelled academically. Instead of producing a bunch of young adults that could only work in low paying jobs, he tried to raise the bar and get these kids in college to help become productive members putting money into our economy, not striving for welfare.

Jim Gilchrist from the MinuteMen Project has been on board with Huckabee for almost 2 months now. Gov Huckabee has had a 9 Point Secure American Plan on the board for months. He had a more specific plan to deal with illegals than most of the candidates from the beginning………they’re having to play catch up.

Please, be fair, do your homework. Don’t let Hannity, Ingraham, RushBo, FoxNews, Club For Growth, Victims Voice, … tell you how to vote.

I do not understand why Carl Cameron is given a platform. Oh wait, yes I do, he is just a snot nosed spoiled brat son of those already in the system riding on their coat tails. The man obviously has never had to struggle a day of his life so thus the spoiled rotten smart ellic facade. He showed his colors in the SC debate by asking all the candidates about real issues and then turning to Huckabee and Paul asking them about electability. I was so thrilled when they shoved it back in his tanning salon face. What happened to FOX? I use to love that channel but now it makes me sick to watch them cover politics. Wether or not you love or hate Huckabee, he is still a good man. In my view, all of the candidates are even though I cannot trust Romney if his mouth is moving. I really get tired of interjections by these reporters. It makes it very difficult to read their articles. Just report, we’ll decide….keep your snide remarks to your spoiled rotten selves. If you want to write a self serving comment then write it in another blog, not in a news report. Yes, I know this is a blog atmosphere but the reoprting he does on the FOX channel is the same. Always gotta hear his poison (negativity). You need to be reporting for MSNBC.

Huckabee’s record is clear. He raised taxes and The Huckabee record on illegal immigrants is worse than Mr. Romney’s. As governor, Mr. Huckabee opposed a bill to require proof of citizenship to register to vote. The bill would have also required state agencies to turn in illegals. Mr. Huckabee fought that, as well as a bill to deny illegal aliens taxpayer-funded public benefits. Then-Gov. Huckabee backed issuing drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. Mr. Huckabee supported a partial amnesty as governor, in the form of in-state tuition for illegal aliens. He even tried to advantage illegals with scholarships. Rep. Tom Tancredo definitely doesn’t support him, I believe he threw in with Romney.

McCain is worse. You have to ask yourself with McCain… do I want the status-quo? That guy has been working in the system for years. He had plenty of time to push against illegal immigration and building a wall then. He’s blown his chance. He also fought against Bush’s tax cuts, citing the tired old “tax cuts for the rich” mantra. Blech.

I’d be happy with either Thompson or Romney.

Hey Carl…….why didn’t Fred Thompson or John McCain, who cackle Ronald Reagan’s name like parrots, see to it that a border fence be built according to the AMNESTY plan that Reagan signed in 1986. That plan gave 3 million illegals amnesty, effectively zeroing out the problem, and the second piece of that was to build a fence. The fence never got built and Thompson and McCain were there in congress for just about the entire time that 12 million illegals flooded the US.

Instead of taking Fred Thompson and John McCain to task for not building the fence Reagan’s plan called for…..you rip Huckabee for dealing with a problem that a lazy, do-nothing pathetic congress dropped in his lap. That is one of the most shallow, sophmoric and idiotic conclusions I’ve ever read from a so-called journalist.

Fred Thompson and John McCain have NO CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER on the issue of immigration…..NONE!

And speaking of Thompson, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, where was his leadership when the Clinton Administration was gutting the CIA and our intelligence capability while Al Qaeda incubated and emerged during the 1990’s? I guess he was busy in one of those “super secret meetings”, huh?

I think you need to do your job a little more thoroughly and accurately, sonny boy!

But you won’t, and FoxNews will continue to bash Mike Huckabee and trumpet “Captain ClearChannel”, Mitt Romney. Your claim to “Fair and Balanced”
reporting is down the toilet, and yourself, Sean Hannity and Brit Hume are nothing but spineless marionettes to the soon to be extinct GOP establishment.

The whole lot of you are making fools of yourselves.

The only reason why EVANGELICAL christians consider “Mormonism” a cult is because the pasters of these congregations have let fear be placed in them from thier pastors who are affraid to loose money out their doors. They have to buy thier gold chains and Cadalacs somehow!!

Ed Rollins will help lose it for Huckaberry.
I think Mitt and Fred should talk, now that would be the tkt.

Fred Thompson has been going around attacking Huckabee as if Romney’s team is now writing his lines – Huckabee is catching flack for going negative when all he has done is defend himself.

The same people who criticize him because they are sure that he is going to be too weak are now criticizing because he isn’t sitting back & accepting his lumps the way they want him to.

Where the heck are the news stories critically examining dour Fred Thompson? I had no idea until yesterday that the guy was on McCain’s campaign team in 2000 against Bush or that he was a lobbyist or that he supported McCain-Feingold & on & on…

He accuses Huckabee of auditioning to be McCain’s VP, but as I watch Huckabee’s poll numbers directly correlate with Thompson’s, I realized that a vote for Thompson IS a vote for McCain. Now I get the sudden wakeup from our lackadaisical candidate, it is FRED THOMPSON who is auditioning for a part in a McCain presidency!

Carl,
I generally enjoy your reporting, but in mere seconds I googled that Huckabee signed that No New Tax pledge all the way back on March 2, 2007 (http://www.atr.org/content/html/2007/march/030207pr-huckabeesignspledge.html ) – where did you get that Huckabee didn’t sign until after NH?

And it is further notable that McCain AND Thompson are the only two GOP candidates who refused. WHY ISN’T FOX REPORTING ON MCCAIN AND THOMPSON’S APPARENT UMBILICAL CORD?

Carl, we the voters are not sheep and we will not allow your slanted, biased news analysis to damage Mike’s reputation one iota because thanks to other news sources, we know the truth. Mike’s defense is not nasty attacking and if you choose not to believe he is not behind the push polling, so be it! It was reported that in Florida, some supporters have done push polling againist their own candidate just to get sympathy votes. That may be what is happening in S. Carolina. I think Huckabee is the best choice and the fact that he has both the extreme right and liberal left working to damage his candidancy says alot about him being for us in the middle, people who want to see the government representing us for a change! Goodbye Fox News, you are no longer fair and balanced and boy is it obvious on your programs the past few weeks!

Hey Carl,

“Signing the anti-amnesty pledge on illegal immigration may well amount to a flip-flop for a candidate who months ago was distancing himself from much of the hard line immigration rhetoric.”

Those are your words. Flip flop? Didn’t you happen to notice that everytime Huck talks about illegal immigration he refers to his “9 point immigration plan.” And that plan’s been posted on his website for several months. Know what the first 3 points are? Build the fence, increase the border patrol, and PREVENT AMNESTY.

Sounds pretty consistent to me, Carl. Save your flip flop comments for those who actually have no convictions on the issues.

Thank you, thank you and thank you for showing the push polling. Huckabee benefited when this crew attacked Romney’s faith and nothing seriously was followed by Fox News. Now Sen. Fred Thompson is the target. If the media does not place tremendous amount of pressure on dirty tricks than who will?

Carl you do a great job most of the time- but your relationship with Huckabust is at a cost. We must rely on professional reporting – make issue of the real stuff and quit reporting the stupid stuff– This is real news but barley a bleep on the network. WHY?

first, I believe in my god and love him, but there is no way will I let a pastor of a church tell me how to vote. I will vote for the person whom I believe can do the job, an Huckabee is not that man, if you are a true chrstian, you will use your own mind in the selection for president and not be told how to vote by some pastor, sounds just like a leader in a mosque telling there followers how to vote, as a true christian, make up your own mind

Mike Huckabee has lived his life with integrity and his bank account shows it. Mitt Romney has lived his life figuring out how to take money out of other people’s pockets and put it in his own. He has $250 million in the bank. (That money could bail out a lot of people who are about to be foreclosed on.) To even mention Huckabee and Romney in the same breath is scandalous. Huckabee is by far the more intelligent and moral man who has a vastly superior governing record to that of Mr. Flip.

He always gets a smaller percentage of the primary vote than his poll numbers of days before. That means that dirty tricks are being played on people on who support him at the last moment. They go unreported. Casual observers will believe this garbage that Huckabee is behind the dirty tricks. You should tell the truth because I think you know it!

Sharon,
Don’t you think that a cult and religion can be one in the same…..Whatever you put before God and is most important to you is your religion…….however when people who operate outside ofThe Canon of Scripture and add things to the The Bible then its known as a cult…if you go to the last Chapter of the book of revelation you’ll see for your self….Does your Bible state what Brigham Young states in ,Journal of discourses,vol.7p289,when he infers that Joseph Smith will be our final Judge….Where does that leave Jesus Christ.?Did what He did on the cross for us mean nothing….I think the Bible claims that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to the Glory of God that Jesus Christ is Lord…….Don’t you think that He, and not Joseph Smith will do the judging……They have taken mortal man and raised Him above the Lord thy God…….spells cult to me,and I don’t want that mindset sitting in washington and representing me…you can vote for whoever you want,but we’ll all answer to the same person,and His name is not Joseph Smith

Carl, Mr. Huckabee has been very consistent in what he says. It’s the one you and all the media has chosen to be the favorite that has been flip-flopping, most certainly not Mr. Huckabee. Please check out Huckabee’s website: mikehuckabee.com and see where he stands on issues and the truth squad that shows his real record in the past. Media has been concentrating on a distortion mission to leave every other candidate alive except Huckabee. I wonder why? Maybe a man with strong faith will have to be discriminated against in our country now. We are told not to discriminate woman, minority or aliens, but a Christian who has a strong faith needs to scrutinized and crushed down in anyway possible. Is that not discrimination? Are we still United States, whose constitution was founded on the Christian belief and the Bible? It seems to me nowadays if anyone mentions the Bible, he’s going to be discredited as having no real value, or is ignorant. Something is really wrong here in this picture!

Ok, that’s I want this Moron out of the race, just his presence in this race has instegated more religious biggotry than I have ever seen on the national level. You “Christians” aught to be ashamed to use that name to describe yourselves IF you have ever made statements about how “evil” or “cultist” Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Jahovah’s Witnesses, and yes the all evil Mormons are!

How can you even call your selves after the name of Christ? have you ever been to a bible bookstore? go to their section on “cults” there will be about a hundred titles on the shelf most of them directed at Mormons… Why is this? because bashing on Mormons is HIGHLY lucrative! you might as well call yourselves Iscariotists, just go ahead and continue to sell out your bible based beliefs for money. What happened to Honor? what happened to Meekness? what happened to Lowlyness in heart? where and when did these things leave Christianity? To those of you who are letting this happen Get off your butts and do something about it! Its time that people show everyone that Biggots of any kind are NOT WANTED in our country! If you have something to say about Mormon or anyone else’s beleifs KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF!

P.S. Why is it that everyone calls Mormons cultists if when the chruch excommunicates someone they dont just kill them? I mean if we really had something to hide then we sure wouldnt want people who have been “deep in the religion” getting out there now would we? Note: even back in the day when Mormons were out in Utah all alone the chruch never had the Ex-commed killed.

Mr. Baronne should be ashamed of himself for his recent uncalled for statement about the barbeque huts on every corner in South Carolina. It’s obvious since Katrina that Fox is not pro-south, but for me, a Republican for life, to have to now watch CNN because at least they are in Atlanta and not NY, is difficult. I overlooked the cuts Shepherd made about New Orleans for years but Mr. Baronne is a complete idiot. Stop bashing S. Caroline and it’s barbeque Mr. Baronne and get a corn beef sandwich sent to you from New York. Your disposition might improve and you can share it with Rudy.
