Huckabee Bests Romney in West VA
In West Va, a state that Romney was confident he had locked up, Huckabee bested Romney with a little help from his friend, McCain and his delegates…..The Romney campaign was quick to react issuing the following statement;
Romney has had organization, paid staff and volunteers in West Va for months……neither McCain nor Huckabee organized this 18 delegate state convention state..
Romney was confident of a win there and looked forward to announcing another gold early afternoon during the peak of voting on Super Tuesday.
In the first round of votes, Mitt led, followed by Huck and third, McCain. Because of the state convention rules of W.VA a second round of votes quickly followed and McCain’s delegates threw their support to Huck and he instantly won this “winner take all” state.
WV McCain delegate John Vuolo says that former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer approached him and other McCain supporters in person at the WV convention and told them he (Roemer) had spoken to McCain and the best thing to do at this point was to support Huckabee in the hope that Huck could beat Romney there.

Fox is right about one thing. It should be a two man race. They’re wrong about who the two should be.
Sen. McCain vs. Gov. Huckabee
Wow… yea… I’m supprized Huckabee supporters don’t just say “McCain 08″, but then the sheep might get what’s going on.
Of course, McCain told them to support Huckabee because he knows Romney is is oly real competition. Looks like Huck has hiseye on the VP spot.
McCain is a disgrace! I will NEVER vote for him. Hillary . . Barack here I come in November.
This justs adds to the reasons I won’t vote for either Huck or McCain, no matter what happens in the general elections.
All I can say is, I didn’t dislike McCain before, but now that I know he is not a fair or honest person by what he just pulled in Wes Virginia, I will not vote for him today, or in November if he cant get elected fairly. Republicans, ban together and vote for Romney! McCain must feel threatened if he feels the need to be dishonest. Its not to late! Get out there and vote for Romney! And if this West Virginia thing isn’t proof that a vote for Huckabee is in fact a vote for McCain then I don’t know what is!!!
aww! listen at the Mitten Kittens wine!
Thanks GOD! Authenticity over came the Great FAKE Romney!
THANK W. VIRGINIA for starting a DOMININO EFFECT FOR OUR HUCK-A-BOO! I AM SO HAPPY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO…
ROMNEY MAY NOW WANT TO TAKE HIS OWN ADVICE AFTER HE GETS DEFEATED IN THE SOUTH BY HUCKABEE AND IN THE NORTH BY MCCAIN. A GOOD CEO KNOWS WHEN TO FOLD AND THAT WOULD BE A SURE SIGN THAT HE CAN NOT WIN, THEN YOU AN GET DOWN TO THE REAL DEAL….I TRULY HAVE CAUGHT THE HUCK-A-BUGGG!!!! AND NO RUSH FLIM-BAUGH LAURA, SEAN HANITY OR ANYONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO SHAPE MY VOTE. HUCKABEE WILL WIN AND WIN BIG. WHEN IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO TRUE CONSERVATISM, HUCK WILL DEFEAT MCCAIN AND IT LOOKS LIKE MCCAIN COULD BE LOOK AT A VP TICKET AND ROMNEY A POLITICAL COFFEN! OUT OF THEM ALL, ROMNEY HAS HANDLED HIS CAMPAIGN FINANCES THE WORST. SOME CEO!
GO HUCK GO! I’M VOTING FOR YOU ALL THE WAY. MY VOTE IS NOTE 4 SALE!
****CARL****
I can’t find a site that shows an updated delagate count anywhere. Would you be able to post the updates for all candidates as they come in, please?
For those of us at work, we have to rely on the internet for the information coming in.
This is dirty stuff. I am very disappointed that McCain’s camp would do this. I was about 50-50 Romney/McCain, and I do realize that this is politics, but it’s still very dirty in my opinion. If you can win it on your own merits, sabotage your competition. That’s just not the American Way – McCain, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Huckabee is simply being used by McCain. Neither of them can beat Romney alone. A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. This makes me sick…..
Go Mitt-
I think this will cost Mac more than 18 Deligates, after this gets out he is in bed with Huck, he will loose a lot more Deligates to Rommney in critical States, this is a good thing. Way to go Mac!!
I see nothing wrong with this. It simply shows that McCain supporters and Huckabee supporters have something in common – they don’t feel that Romney should be nominated. It is not a secret agenda or anything covert. It is just a strategic tactic to finish this thing today.
I hope & Pray that the rest of America is as smart and intellegent as the people of West Virginia.
Despicable that McCain would go that far… good for Huckabee, bad for Romney, hopefully it comes back to bite John McCain in the very near future. That’s a move that a Democrat would make.
MCCAIN TORPEDOES ROMNEY IN WV CAUCUSES.
Romney won the first round vote with 41%, Huckabee 33%, McCain 16%, Paul 10%. Because no one received 51%, they had to recast the votes. Paul was elimiated from the second round. McCain and Huckabee cut a deal during lunch where McCain gave his votes to Hucakabee JUST to beat Romney.
THIS IS THE EXACT THING THAT WASHINGTON INSIDERS LIKE MCCAIN AND HUCKABEE DO. THIS PROVES THAT THE OL’ GOAT AND GOMER HUCKSTER ARE OUT TO GET ROMNEY. AND THIS IS WHY BOTH OF THESE PHONIES HAVE TO BE STOPPED.
“Governor Romney had enough respect for the Republican voters of West Virginia to make an appeal to them about the future of the party based on issues. This is why he led on today’s first ballot. Sadly, Senator McCain cut a Washington backroom deal in a way that once again underscores his legacy of working against Republicans who are interested in championing conservative policies and rebuilding the party.”
THIS PROVES THAT A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE IS A VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND VICE VERSA.
SPREAD THE WORD AND GET OUT THE VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY…BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
Give me a break! We all know full well that Romney won the first round and only by combining Huckabee and Mccains votes was Huckabee able to pull it off. Romney has had to, in a sense, run a campaign of one against two. Huckabee and Mccain are like two bullies on a playground that know they can’t win on their own so they play dirty tricks together to try and take the stronger candidate, Mitt Romney, down. The people of this country are taking notice and will not stand for these kind of low brow tactics and it will be the undoing of both McCain and Huckabee in the end.
Vote for Mitt Romney so that we can have a man of class and integrity running the White House!
This is dirty tricks by MCCain. He will do anything to win. People should see what he is all about. Vote for the real conservative Mitt Romney. McCain is a Liberal. Go Mitt!!!!!

This is the same kind of back room dealing that went on in Florida. It’s unfortunate the voters don’t have more time to observe McCain and Huckabee’s kind of politics. It’s two against one but I belive Mitt Romney can win.
McCain to Huckabee: you’re irrelavent.
Market to McCain: Oh, no!
THIS SHUTS UP ANN COULTER, SHAWN HANNITY, BILL O REILLY, RUSH LIMBAUGH, AND LAURA INGRAM HOW WRONG YOU WERE HOW RIGHT I WAS AND MILLIONS OTHERS WHO BELIEVE IN HUCK.
Does anyone see how McCain is a cheater??? I hope Huckabee realizes that John McCain just used him to beat Mitt Romney because McCain knows that Mitt is his only competition… How sad to think someone has to use such dirty tactics to win the nomination for the Republican Party. I hope if Mitt Romney doesnt win the primary he still runs for president. He should do so just out of spite towards McCain. If Mitt Doesnt win the election in November the greatest country on earth is going to fall apart whether McCain or a Democrat Wins..
THIS IS DIRTY POLITICS!! HUCK SUPPORTERS OPEN YOUR EYES!!
Carl,
Your headline would be much more accurate if it read….
Huckabee and McCain team up to best Romney in West VA!!!
This is exactly why we can’t trust McCain or Huckabee! Their conspiring against Romney is no secret! They are afraid of Romney becuase he can WIN and because he is a stronger candidate than either of them. When McCain gets the nomination, he will be creamed in the general.
You forgot to mention that Huck gave Ron Paul 3 national delegates in exchange for Ron Paul’s 10% – which is actually what got Huck the win.
Not like I expect you to even let this comment through, but whatever.
Michael Wooten of WSAZ in West Virginia confirms it. http://www.wsaz.com/political/misc/15267036.html
Its this kind of Crap that is going to screw the conservative base… Huckababy has a back room deal with Mcliberal and there is nothing more to it… Truth with always prevail just wait! GO RUSH! let people know what the deal is.. All you Huckababy supporters.. You should be ashamed… You have only hurt the party you so boldly proclaim you believe in… GOD BLESS ROMNEY I hope all you HUCKABABY fans are ready to endure a LIBERAL and screwed up future. Lost a lot of respect today for HUCKABABY and his party .. I though a TRUE CHRISTIAN would be better than that! TRUE CHRISTIAN.. baptist Bigot!
I believe it, backroom politics of Juan McCain. Be scared America!
Too bad Mccain and Huckabee are a discrace to the Republican Party and are responsible along with the Republican party to loose the election to the Democrates. Talk about dirty politics I will not vote in November and thanks to you idiots you all played into the democrates hands. You all know turn out is key and Republicans will not back Mccain. Thank you Republican Party Dems are much smarter than you all. The polls are not accurate and manipulated by Dems.
It’s even more obvious now that McCain and Huckabee are and have been working together to beat Romney. Buisness as usual for life long politicians. This is exacly why “Washington is fandamentaly BROKEN”.
Despicable! Simply sickening…look out America, we are on course to select dishonest and selfish men to represent the Republican Party…a warning should be sounded!
What a dirty trick … McCain told his supporters to go ahead and vote Huckaby. Oh my goodness this is the kind of dirty dealing that we can expect from this liberal who is pretending to be a conservative. If he is the Republican nominee it is truly the end of our party as we know it. Conservatives will need a new party. I am from California and I have already voted and I pray that Mitt Romney takes such a high majority that McCain will tuck his tail in and go home.
WILL YOU HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS ADMIT NOW THAT A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE IS A VOTE FOR McCAIN???!!!!!
THEY CHEATED and this is nothing more than VOTE TAMPERING!!!!!
OMG…WAKE UP PEOPLE….
Up to this point, I have considered each candidate as being fair, not overly critical of each other’s person, just critical on the issues, which we the voters expect, that is one way we learn about a candidate position. However, in my opinion, today’s move in West Virginia was “DIRTY POLITICS.” It certainly helps to make up my mind.

Will somebody turn on spell-check for Carl? I-S-S-U-I-N-G
It looks like McCain and Huckabee are playing hanky-panky behind the scenes! Also, if McCain makes it to president, God forbid, he probably has a deal with Swartznegger to change the Constitution so that he can run for the President of the United States.
Are we going to put up with the “Good ‘ol Boys” by putting them back in Washington! How will that bring about change?
“Stupid does as stupid is.” Tom Hanks in “Forest Gump”!
Why can’t we wake up and put a real outsider in office?
GO PRESIDENT ROMNEY!
PS
Mitt won VA fair and square! The president of the delegation cheated!
Let’s be clear about one thing. Huckabee didn’t win WV. McAmnesty gave him a nice little present for all of his whining and attacking of Romney.
Enough. I don’t want to hear a single person ever say again that Huck isn’t out to screw Romney. This has proven it once and for all.
Wake up Conservatives – this is exactly the type of sleazy, Washington insider “leadership” you’ll get from John McAmnesty–back-room, self-serving deals
romney had the state won but huckabee and mccain cut a deal.
hope mccain and huckabee enjoy the backlash that’s coming. neither will be pres or vpres.
so long huckaboom you are a liar and a cheat.
I am very disgusted with McCain and his dirty politics. When this campaign started, I had high regard for him and was disappointed when President Bush beat him, but he has truly been dishonest and Governor Huckabee is a brown-noser and a poor loser. This is so sad for the Republican party. People should vote for the candidate they want to see win.
In other words, McCain rigged the election. You can’t do that in the real world unless you want to go to prison. It’s called racketeering. He didn’t do this to win delegates, only to keep them from Romney. He helped one opponent for the sole purpose of destroying another.
There’s no way I’d vote for McCain now. This kind of disgraceful behavior scares me more than the Democrats and shows that McCain will do absolutely anything if he thinks he might lose something, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he started having foreign leaders killed. He expects conservatives to “trust” him after this? I actually trust Hillary Clinton or Obama more than McCain now. Even they haven’t done something this underhanded. They used just words, McCain intentionally manipulated the outcome of an election to harm an opponent.
Can John McCain really say he’s a “hero” after this or even pretend he has even a shade of “honor”? Hardly.
how low and disgusting. It only goes to show how low and how desperate McCain is. This is the lowest thing I have ever seen. Why isn’t anyone else upset!!
McCain and Huckabee are two sad individuals who are hurting their party and those who follow conservative principles for personal gain. Please don’t fall for their “straight talk” and “minister” facade.
clearly this was an under handed cheap thing to do,and if the republican party is going to let this go,i am definitely pulling out!
And Huckabee keeps saying that a vote for him is not a vote for Mccain? What a joke! American People: Wake up! Is this the dirty politics you want running our country? This is exactly the back-handed crap that McCain is all about. Win at all costs. He knows he can’t stand on his own two feet so he has to go back-handed to get votes.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
Romney is the best choice for our country!
HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS AND MIKE HUCKABEE HIMSELF SHOULD BE SO VERY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! HUCKABEE AND MCCAIN ARE CHEATERS, LIARS AND TAMPERED WITH THE VOTE….
IT REALLY IS A “MAN-CRUSH” THING….
THIS IS SICKENING!
This diry politics in West Virginia is proof here that Huckabee has stayed in the race to help push Romney out. As a conservative Republican, I will not vote for McCain if he gets the nomination, especially if Huck ends up being the VP. There seems to be no fundamental difference between McCain and the democratic frontrunners – except McCain is clearly the Champion of Dirty Politics among both Republican & Democrat candidates. Maybe 4 years of President Hillary is what the Republican “Good Ole Boy” club in D.C. (includes Dole) needs to shape up!
And Cameron, I have to say you represent jouralism at it’s worst when you actively try to influence the outcome of an election. You have promoted McCain for MONTHS. You take every opportunity to focus a story ON MCCAIN. You outright declared him the nominee after the Florida primary, stating “Romney and Huckabee are still campaigning, but…”. I guess we know who you’re voting for don’t we.
WHY DOES FOX NEWS HAVE A QUARANTINE ON MIKE HUCKABEE YOU KILLED HIM IN S CAROLINA AND STILL TRYING. HAS FOX BECOME THE ANTI-CHRIST STATION?
Sorry Zomneys
If your candidate
- Tweaks playing field by buying media influence (Clear Channel – Hannity, Rush, Hewitt, etc.)
- Digs deep into personal pockets
- Throw tens of millions of dollars of stones
- Manipulates people with dirty tricks… (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk6IJS3QN34)
Do you stick by him? Even with all of his tweaks, twists, and manipulations and he still doesn’t win WV do you stand by his Mittipulations?
Huckabee wins WV!
Zomnies need to wake up and see the light. America isn’t going to buy his lack of ethics and leadership.
Go Huckabee! http://www.mikehuckabee.com
Pro Life, Pro Guns, Strong Military, Secure Border, Strong Economy, Liberty, Freedom from IRS, common sense, etc., etc.!Go Huckabee! http://www.mikehuckabee.com
And you still think McCain and Huckster are honest??? HA, give me break. The bigoted comments an slurs I have heard all through this race has brought me to the conclusion that everyone is ok, EXCEPT FOR MOMONS..ANYONE BUT A MORMON. My God, If Christ were alive today..he’d be ashamed!!!
I am furious over how John McCain’s delegates supported Mike Huckabee when his campaign knew that Mitt Romney was going to win. Dirty politics. I thought he would be above something like that, guess not. I guess that is what happens when you’re in Washington to long. Why bother to vote when your vote really doesn’t count anyway, when it can get manipulated. I highly doubt that I will vote for McCain in the general election if he wins the primary. (I have voted Republican since I was 18 and now I’m 33).
Wow. If I lived in West Virginia I would be totally embarrassed.

Huckabee and McCain are disgusting! No-way, No-how, Never will I vote for either of them.
McCain has definitly lost the conservative vote. You, Mr. McCain are a dishonest, backroom dealing man. Everything negative that has EVER been said about you now has A LOT of backing.
YOU HAVE NO HONOR!
Mr. Huckabee, you are not an honorable man. You have climbed in bed with the devil. Pride?
West Virginia: This reflects that McCain and Huckabee are in bed together. You talk about dirty politics! A nasty joke was played on West Virginia. Americans know that you voted in favor of Romney. This is exactly what McCain/Huckabee would do in the white house. The “King of Amnesty” (McCain/Huckabee would give away our Sovereign Nation to Mexico as soon as they get into the white house.
Remember that McCain plans on giving our country to Mexico, and coercing Americans into paying for their economy. We will no longer remain a Soveregn Nation. According to government, authentic statistics, there are close to 37 million illegals in our country, plus the fact that McCain is an “Open Borders” Liberal individual. McCain would allow terrorists into our country. Illegal aliens are causing America to close down their hospitals and are a huge strain on our schools. Our Elderly, Mentally ill individuals, and Disabled Veterans will be kicked out on the street. They will be informed that they are not deserving of Medical Care, as Clinton and Obama Husseins’ Socialist Health Care Plan reflects. Our social security benifits will be given to illegal aliens, subsequent to breaking into our country, stealing social securiy numbers from Americans, and stealing our jobs. This really hits hard our African American and Hispanic citizens. Remember the government wants to give away your rebates for our economy. Don’t give away your rebates to illegals. They send home billions of dollars to support Mexico’s economy. Don trust this Traitor (McCain the King of Amnesty)!
Don’t forget the “Dream Act” that Huckabee plans on getting legislation passed on.
Dream Act: 1) Gives all illegals Amnesty under the age of 30. 2) Ensures that all criminals (Murderers, Rapists, Child molesters, Drug Dealers, Gangs, etc.) will remain in our country while their applicaion is being processed. 3) The Federal Government will be convicted of a federal offense and be prosecuted if they attempt to deport criminals. 4) The timeframe while the illegal criminals are being held for deportation will expire, and they will be released on to our streets to kill our children, prior to the extensive wait on the application process. 5) Illegal aliens are provided state tuition, while American college students are not afforded the same rights. 6) Upon illegal aliens turning 21, illegal aliens are allowed to bring into the U.S. 18 individuals a piece. This equates to Mass Chain Migration. Guess who foots the bill for these illegals to kill many of our American citizens? Right! The American taxpayer will. According to authentic statistics, American tax-payers would pay over 21,000 dollars per family a year. Look at Huckabees’ record, he will not give up the “Dream Act”. Isn’ this ironic, since he lies about the truth regarding illegal immigration. Don’t trust this Traitor!
West Virginia: Rise up and Unite! Please use your strong voice to educate other states about this catastrophy. Educate and inform them of the dirty trick that McCain/Romney played on you! E-Mail, Fax, Call, copy comment, and communicate by any means necessary to warn other states about these Socialist Liberals. Don’t allow McCain/Huckabee to waste your vote.
Ecourage your friends, family, and all American citizens to only vote for Romney! He is the only viable presidential canidate that will Save America!!! Go Romney!!!
Huckabee did not win honestly. He and McCain are up to their tricks. McCain was third, Huckabee was second and Romney was first. But McCain will do anything to win. He had his campaign people talk to the cacaus leaders and after the first round of counting convince them to put all McCain’s delegates for Huckabee so they did a second count and that’s how Huckabee won. Both McCain and Huckabee are partners in deceit and are both Liberals. Go Mitt!!
If John McCain wins the republican nomination, my entire family and I, will leave the republican party on Wednesday. He is not a republican. I’d rather have Hillary.

P.S. FoxNews, please post. I have notice you do not print alot of my posts. They are all clean post except I call McCain a liberal and probably you do not like it.
Huckabee, you did not win West Virginia! Please don’t act like you did! You and your buddy, McCain from the Double Talk Express, cut a back-room deal and this is what happened in West Virginia. So this is what the “Christian Leader ?” and former pastor resorts to. You are not a Leader and certainly you are not a true Christian. A true Christian would absolutely not do this. You are showing your true colors, I hope your Christian followers are true Christians and recognize what you really stand for, surely not honesty. I am truly disappointed in you. I guess with you and McCain it’s “Politics Above Everything Else” even your integrity. How very sad.
Thank goodness for Mitt Romney, a man of TRUE integrity. I hope your and McCain’s actions motivate people like myself to Vote For Mitt Romney instead.
Not much to say here. McCain and his crew are using there sewer tactics again
The only reason Huckabee won anything is because McCain told his voters to vote for Huckabee in order to beat Romney because neither one of them could do it alone – pathetic!
It took both of them to best Romney!!!
Mccain is garbage and now it looks like Huckfin is his dumpter-mate. They have to tag-team Romney to beat him. One, McCain, using Nixon tactics and the other, huck, using class warfare(a liberal tactic). Huck and McCain are what is wrong with the Republican party and washington.
I just feel sorry for the people they fool. It is either because of religious discrimination, or they will believe everything they are told even if it is contradictive to something they were told 10 minutes ago.
For shame, Jaun McAmnesty McLame….. McShame! McCainabee…… The dirty politicians that will do any and everything to get your vote. Even if it ends up making you look like a fool.
Huckabee is on a roll today, and many people are getting a wake-up call to how much silent support he really has. The media has tried hard to make this a 2-candidate race for the GOP… but helloooo! No spin… Just win! Many of us believe Huckabee is the strongest conservative and best hope for both the GOP and the nation over the next 4 years. I am both a non-evangelical, and someone with a science background. Yet like so many other Huckabee supporters- we are not threatened by his personal beliefs; rather, we are inspired by his convictions and candor, as well as his experience. And Mike Huckabee is in this to WIN! And I don’t believe he’s trying to be VP- how many Presidents want a VP who is a better speaker than they are, and likes to talk?! Really, Mike Huckabee has done so much with so little the past year it’s amazing. So many of his supporters come from working families who are giving all they can because they believe in his message and leadership. Best regards!
Honestly, this couldn’t be more fustrating! McCain and Huckabee need to be politically STOPPED and we are currently seeing this Republician election implode as the day goes on. My gosh people open your eyes and see what and who you’re voting for, if it’s McCain or Huckabee you seriously must have checked your brain at the door!
I cannot believe this is legal! I have only voted once in my life..and it may be the only time. McCain will get crucified by the liberal supporters that he has when he gets the nomination and it is between he and a Democrat. He is nothing more than their puppet because he will be beaten easily when the mud starts slinging. The only plus will be seeing that smug little look wiped off his old ugly mug! I wish people were more educated on what McCain really stands for. And Huckabee? A man of faith??? That’s a laugh…He and McCain will be able to share the love when Hillary is back in the White House. McCain will die a disgraced old man! As for McCain-Huckabee supporters…enjoy the tax hikes and you may want to learn a little about the candidates before you vote next time!
so let me get this right..
wv delegates vote.
ron paul only gets 10% of the votes.
there isnt a clear winner, so they re-vote.
the second time around, mccain tells his support to vote for huckabee because he knows that will knock out romney.
how does this make sense?
how is this not corrupt?
Well I hate to say I told you so.
Like I said I saw this coming after NH.
What has our country come to?
I know this sort of thing is nothing new but I’ve never seen such an outward and blatant display.
Some “Christian” Huck has turned out to be. (Saw that from the beginning!)
Let me get this straight – in W. VA, instead of the usual primary, they have a convention, and they get to vote twice? So, if one candidate doesn’t like the first outcome, and wants to throw support to another in order to beat the winner of the first round, he can do that?
Which, apparently, is exactly what happened today when McCain’s delegates threw their support to Huckabee, beating Romney in the process.
How screwy is that?!?
Good for Huckabee!
Hehehe, here you, Romney ! Just quit this race, you’re done. You’re a non-electable flip-flopper, and any Democrat would defeat you by a landslide during a general election.
***CARL***
Nevermind, I found it! Thank you FNC!
Updated delegate counts

I would love to find out what the West Virginia voters are saying about this, and find out about the reports coming out of West Virginia about a McCain/Huckabee deal.
I would be interested in finding out what West Virginia voters have to say about this ‘result’ and the reports of a backroom deal between McCain and Huckabee.
Boy, is Romney desperate! I’m sorry, I can never trust the man. I will vote for Huckabee or McCain, but I will sit out this election if Romney is the nominee. I can not vote for him with a clear conscience. He attacks everything that breathes and is simply a sore loser. Did he congratulate Huckabee after Iowa? No. And now here in West Virginia? No class.
Just another reason why McCain shouldn’t be trusted. Desperate times requires desperate measures, I guess. Looks like McCain is taking the “Act now. Repent Later” tactic. As a Republican, if McCain ends of being the nominee, I’m throwing my support behind Obama.
Back room deal or West Virginia voters revolt against drive-by media picking our candidates.
I think it was a cheap move for those WV people to move their votes to Huckabee. He’s out of the race. There is NO WAY he will win. What a waste of votes. We need more coverage of MITT. There is way too many spot lights on far left McCain. Fox knows it!
Do the West Virginia voters lend credibility to the rumors of back room dealings between McCain and Huckabee or stand by the result?
Is there any credibility to the rumors of backroom dealing?
Mike wins West Virginia
Mitt takes another Silver!
Heres the reaction from the Romney Campaign
Mike Huckabee “The People’s President”
Just like a slimy back room politician, keep showing your true colors McCain!!!!!!
This is like running against the AFL-CIO, where voters are “managed” by the union bosses (in this case the Gov of W Virginia, Huckaby and McCain) and those who don’t vote for the approved slate get the shaft. McCain *is* looking like a Clinton more and more with each maneuver…
Carl Cameron is a joke, a complete disgrace to journalism. A journalist’s role is to bring a non-biased report on a topic. But FoxNews and Carl Cameron continue to practice CENSORSHIP BY OMISSION when it comes to Ron Paul. You don’t have to like or even vote for this candidate, but atleast your “Fair and Balanced” media outlet should… well, be fair and balanced.
FoxNews and the Liberal media have disrespected the American people, they have determined who will win the Presidency, not YOU the people. They have demonstrated they have no respect for the intelligence of regular, red blooded Americans! It’s time to stand up against the propaganda of our deceptive media…. Do not let them determine what you will think or believe!
BOYCOTT FoxNews today…..
Show them you will not bow down to their propaganda!
So much for Huckabee being the “Evangelical” and “Christian” candidate. What a lot of BS. What this reporter did not tell you is that Romney had well over 40% of the vote, with Huck in the low thirties, I think, and McCain a very distant third. The Republican voters of W Viirgina CLEARLY WANTED ROMNEY, but the “Evangelical” candidate cut a deal with the psuedo-conservative, cut a backroom deal, and stole the vote from the party faithful!
And where is the outrage at Fox? You won’t find it anywhere. So much for “fair and balanced” and “we report – you decide. Again – what a bunch of BS.
No, this is just “poilitics as usual.” This is a Clinton tactic. This is dishonest and low-handed, something Boss Tweed would have done back in the robber-baron days.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
Rush, et al are correct. A McCain’s victory will mean the end of the Republican pafrty as a viable alternative to Big Government, Big Media and Big Corporate liberals.
Yeaaaaaa Mike! In spite of Fox News attempts to ignore, downplay, slander, treat him unfairly, and obviously favor and promote Mitt Romney. Strange, I thought you said there were only 2 candidates. Fox News needs to tell the truth and change their motto from “You Decide 2008″ to “We (Fox News) decide 2008.” You have vehemently tried to manipulate the elections. How about letting the American people decide by giving all candidates fair coverage. You have not been fair or balanced. You have done a great injustice by not reporting the truth.
McCain’s actions today were very underhanded, in WV.
He has lost my vote, I don’t feel he is trustworthy.
He was so unpresidential, he scared me.
He showed me today, he is not whitehouse worthy.
He was he not thinking!
McCain was evil today, he has just lost my vote!!!!!
And so many in the media have written Huckabee off! Unfortunately Fox News has been one of those!
This is a sad day for politics-but hw can we possibly be surprised at the dirty, underhanded back room deals by John McCain. If Huckabee thinks he is getting the VP he is srely mistaken- That has already been promised to Guiliani. Let’s see Sec Of State will be Crist of Florida-Arnold will have something to do with the Military- Martinez will be an ambassador. McCain will run out of offices before Next week- I seriusly hope that people take a look at the true McCain. As Shakespear wrote-”One may smile and smile and be a villian.” McCain needs to be stopped before the USA is begging for forgiveness from all the countries and dignitaries that Mccain will offend with his offcolored jokes and disgusting lanuage and cranky tiraids. I am just one person but I will make it my mission to stop him from being a president. I as a Republican will campaign for whomever is the Dem nominee. Grass roots organizations will rise up and expose him for what he is. A liar to the fullest extent. At least the Dem’s admitt when the lie or get caught-McCain is so old he seems oblivious to the fact that he got caught and just keeps on saying the same thing over and over again. STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!
Huckabee might be winning even more states if he hadn’t spent so much time lately doing Campbell’s Soup commercials — Sea Salt!
Two words for Mike Huckabee — Sea Salt!!
I find this behavior by McCain and huckabee and Paul disgracefull and a direct violation of the rights of voters. Romney won this state and the behavior of the other canidites was repugnant.
West Virginia is DIRTY POLITICS My husband and I were going to vote for McCain if he got the nomination. Not now. We’ll switch our votes to the democrat who wins. We thought McCain was above the dirty tricks—a good man. What a mistake.
What???
“Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain’s inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney’s campaign of conservative change”
Isn’t it what gov. Romney’s favorite strategies against all other candidates? He has perfectly right reason to be furious since his strategy has back fired him. Someone said to crooked minded, everything looks crooked.
He may pretend to be like a material for president of America, but his tail is just too long to deceive all of us.
I disagree with McCain’s transfer of delegates over to Huckabee In west virginia. It seems awfully shady.
No doubt about it; McCain and Huckabee are willing to dismantle the Republican Party in pursuit of the White House. Can either of these men truly believe they could beat either Hillary or Barack in the General Election? I believe Huckabee agreed to a backroom deal with McCain to stop Romney in order to get on the McCain ticket.
Hillary and Barack know that McCain is an easy defeat because Conservatives will stay at home if one of the most liberal so-called Republicans is the only other choice.
I am fed up with McCain and Huckabee that they have to play these games of vote swapping to hurt the candidate that feel understands things the best, and that is not a Washington Insider. These two candidates are showing how low and dirty that they play. These two, if they cannot be honest in the elections, how can they be trusted to be President of the US. This is a democracy, give me a break it sounds more like they are pushing their own candidates down our throats. This is not America, it is sounding Pakistan, Cuba, Iraq, and Venezuela with their forced elections. Vote for me, or else your vote will not count. What happened to the America that I fought for. Apparently, it is not here anymore. It has left the building for good
If Romney was so strong in West Virginia he would have gotten the majority of voters on round one. I thought Romney said NO WHINING?? It certainly appears as thought Romney and his campaign staff are whining now.
Sounds like Romney’s whining!
Why is it that the media cannot get the fact that the people of West Virginia have not spoken. Our Primary Election for both Democrats and REPUBLICANS is May 13, 2008. the WV Republican Party leadership invited 1200 people to the convention, and left the other 300,000+ republicans out of the decision. Why did I spend almost 22 years in the military to defend the rights of Americans when the Republican Party in West Virginia can take them away? Just report that it was not the real voice of the people in West Virginia, because we have not had our chance to vote. Lets see your coverage of our primary in May.
As a person who is made fun of for her addiction to Fox News, I am becoming increasingly upset by what i see as a basic snub of this incredible man and his accomplishments in this race. Many of you have truly put down the minds of those of us who support him. We did not vote for him today because we did not know better than to waste a vote. My vote for him was for him and not against the other two. Had I not voted for him, I would not have voted for either of them. I was thrilled to see him win in this state. I have considered switching to another channel to see if they are being more fair towards him. That seems so extreme i decided to write this instead and now i feel a little bit better.
McCain Endorses Huckabee!
According to reports from Fox News Channel, McCain delegates admitted they were instructed to throw their support to Huckabee when it became apparent that the voters put McCain a distant 3rd! Is this the beginning of McCain’s exit from the pursuit of the Republican Presidential Nomination?
This action by John McCain in West Virginia is part of the reason I will not support him if he is the Republican nomination. I would rather vote outside the Republican Party than support John McCain who shows how poor his morals are in this election season. Mike Huckabee is right there with McCain and by staying in the race and spoiling Mitt Romney’s chances shows that Huckabee cares more for destroying Romney’s chances than standing up for true conservative values. Huckabee would rather have McCain win than let Romney, and that shows Huckabee is not a true conservative, but a Romney hater. So long Republican Party if this is the course you are taking.
You can bet McCain promised Huckabee something. That’s the way McCain seems to work. I went from supporting McCain to backing Romney; character should count for something. Perhaps a fine line between character and old fashioned politics that McCain seems to play to his advantage. No change there.
Come on, Carl. That little last minute trade off of WV delegates to rob Romeny of what he clearly won (ala winning the WV popular vote!) IS Some of the dirtiest politics we’ve seen in a long time, on either side of the aisle. I CANNOT SUPPORT either McCain or Huckster after this, so I’ll switch my vote to another party, if only in protest. Neither is a conservative. Rush, Sean, Laura, and all the other true conservatives were absolutely right: The liberals have taken over the party, and the stock market saw it 9 months early today when the exit polls came leaking out: (down 370!) Watch out for massive tax increases, build up of the socialist state, and filthy Washington politics to resurge! If this is what it means to be Baptist and Republican, I’ll find a better religion AND a better party.
Very disappointing, but not surprising on McCain’s underhanded tactics. Bhutto was assassinated in a run for the presidency in Pakistan – it seems logical that there will also be amoral tactics in a run for the presidency of the free world. McCain and Huckabee will only reap what they sow…
You Huckaphonies disgust me!!!!! What dirty Politics!!!!!!!! West Virgina was Romney’s state won fair, square and out right. You should be ashamed of yourselves letting the liberal McCain supporters in your camp!!! You are a bunch of religious bigots!!!!
I don’t think that Huckabees showing tonite is as surprising as some folks think. Romney’s faith was never an asset to him in the south,maybe Mitt thought he settled the issue with his State of His Religion speech,but I don’t think it ever really went away down south in Dixie! And,being a son of the South,Huck knew what those folks would do in the sanctity of the voting booth. No way given any choice involving a Baptist and a Mormon would they pull the switch the other guy.
The worst thing about the response is the “tax and spend” lie. Governor Huckabee is a FISCAL and well as social conservative. He left AR with a surplus. He was a whole lot better for AR than Romney was for MA.
If McAmnesty thinks he’ll get the conservative vote in November, he’s got a big surprise coming. There’s a whole lot of us who find him a despicable sellout, and under NO CIRCUMSTANCE will he have our vote. In other words, there is no way – NO FREAKING WAY – we will let him hijack the republican party. We’d rather have 4 years of gridlock or 4 yrs of hell before we’d let him redefine the party… If he is in the contest, we will either write-in Romney (as an independent), or write-in Pat Buchanan or somebody, or even vote for the Democrat!! Ann Coulter had it right. McCain is a phony baloney liberal sellout.
I am sure that , by this time, everyone who is truly conservative, is quite disgusted and
upset by this outpouring of votes for the WRONG PEOPLE. Maybe, we should all start
a new party–THEE CONSERVATIVES. Not only are the people commenting are putting
Mitt Romney down , but the coverage on FOX TONIGHT is absolutely biased. Never
thought I would say that about FOX. They have consistently maintained a non-biased]
approach to all candidates. MItt Romney has been talked about in a nasty tone and
any wins he has, the commentators are putting him in a corner. How disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another thought is going independent of this so called Republican party. Maybe,
that is what conservatives need to do. I hope the commentators know that they
are biased.
McCain and his campaign supporters are using shady clintonian tactics. I dont care if you call it good strategy or not, its still dirty and unethical. McCain deserves to lose nationally now. I am a staunch republican, but i will not vote for him if he is our nominee.
As disgusted as I am by McCain and Huckabee, this is politics. It happens on both sides of the aisle. You make connections and deals to get the most votes and stragetic wins to beat your opponant. Its no more dirty then any other contest. This is reality and has been happening for the entire life of our country.
I’m just waiting to hear when McCain calls Huckabee his running mate.
I guess I’m voting democrat this election. Which was sad, Romney had me considering voting republican for the first time ever. He’s the only republican talking sense in regards to the economy and how we should face our foreign policy issues. I’m not all that thrilled with the socialized method of Hillary or Obama, but voting for McCain is unexceptable.
Left a comment at 12:15 AM Still do not see it
All you Romney whiners! All week long Fox and other news stations have been swaying public opinion by making its listeners believe Huckabee was out of the race and it was down to a two man race and Romney was the man to beat. Ha! It is funny how things work out. Huckabee is doing well despite the slant the news has put on things. Those who voted for Huckabee were smarter then the news stations and obliviously a whole lot smarter than you sore Romney losers!
Fox news and Sean Hannity should be ashamed along with a lot of other news organizations. Fox news boasts of being fair and balanced. Where is fair and balanced when a news personality backs a candidate using Fox news air time??? Go to bed all you Romney whiners! Play fair next time and take this as a well deserved lesson.
>>Huckabee and Mccain are like two bullies on a playground that know they can’t win on their own so they play dirty tricks together to try and take the stronger candidate, Mitt Romney, down.<> The people of this country are taking notice and will not stand for these kind of low brow tactics<>Vote for Mitt Romney so that we can have a man of class and integrity running the White House!<<
Yeah, class? whining! Integrity? How about his lies about being a hunter all his life (NOT), seeing his dad march with MLK (NOT), suddenly becoming pro-life in…when was it? 2004? No, wait, maybe it was 2005. I forget. And lying about helping gays and lesbians– even THEY call him a flip-flopper!! And if he’s so honest, why doesn’t he ever want to tell how much of his own money he’s had to infuse? When he finally had to disclose his 2007 finances, he has “loaned” his campaign $35,000,000. Mike Huckabee’s campaign has NO debt. Now that’s a fiscal conservative!!
It baffles me that so many men who hold themselves to be major figure heads in the conservative republican world can so easily present their opinons as facts, and make allegations against the candidates that they haven’t been bought out by, while ignoring the fact that Huckabee did not only win in W Va today. I also think that its ironic that the romney supporters would criticize Huckabee for gaining the votes of what they call “sheep”. The fiscal conservatives have always loved having the support of sheep, until the sheep realize that Bush, Romney and all the others of the past only wanted the sheep to serve them with votes, and now it seems that the sheep are tired of being duped, and are looking for someone who walks the talk that their talking. Away with the republican party if they neglect the morally conservative aspect of their part platform. For that matter, away with Rush, Hannity, and Coulter too if they abandon the moral values of the republican agenda and vote for Hillary or Obama.
CHEAP–DISHONEST. HUCK & CAIN one in the same. Sure helped me CHANGE my VOTE!
ROMNEY is the ONLY man I vision as our President. HONEST, INTEGRITY .
Honest family man with MORAL character. Not on the some GOOD-OLD BOYS platform as Cain and Huck(want-a-be:-)
HE CAN AND WILL MAKE THE CHANGE OUR COUNTRY DESPERATELY NEEDS!
YOU HAVE MY VOTE MITT!!!!! President Romney !!!
The pundits keep asking why Mike doesn’t attack McCain. They can’t understand it, and so they keep projecting their OWN motives onto Mike, that he’s doing it to “suck up” and get the VP nod from McCain. What they don’t understand are two things:
(1) Mike doesn’t want to bash anybody, even when they have stooped low on both tactics and slurs. He prefers to win with honor, and let the candidates’ records and stated positions on the issues speak for them.
(2) Mike knows that he doesn’t have to “attack” John McCain. Once it truly IS down to a 2-man race between Mike Huckabee and John McCain, McCain’s liberal record will do the speaking and the damage for him. At that time, Americans will see Huckabee, rightfully, as the ONLY conservative choice. (Unless you count Ron Paul, who is in favor of DE-criminalizing marijuana. There, you Ron Paul fans, I mentioned his name. Feel better?)
As Dr. James Dobson said today (Tues.) McCain often sounds / acts like someone “from the other party.” Once the media is forced to add some coverage for Mike, and Americans (hopefully) start paying a bit more attention and watching the debates, they will begin to see more clearly the differences between them on very important issues, like immigration and amnesty, depth of convictions on abortion, gay marriage, and most importantly what kind of SUPREME COURT JUSTICES they will appoint.
That was genius on McCain’s part – absolute genius. Not underhanded – intelligent – I like either McCain or Huckabee – they win on intelligence not on money like Romney!
I thought it was brilliant – why not help a friend if you see the possibility? Especially if it helps you out in the long run – has anyone noticed Huckabee’s Wife’s maiden name is “McCain?”
You know it is absolutely amazing to me how some of you folks in here can call those of us who are Huckabee supporters cheaters, let alone the candidate. Come on get real! I went to the polls yesterday like I presume you all did ( although I wonder about some of you) and I voted for whom I thought I thought would be the best person for the highest office in the land. We are so engrossed in who is cheating who, that we forget that this is politics folks, hello! If a deal was made, it certainly didn’t hurt Romney too much by looking at the delegate count. Now, the question some have is what position is Huckabee eyeing? Well come ob think about it? McCain is trying to break back into the arms of the basic conservative Republican mainstream, do you think he is going to want Mike Huckabee as his Vice President? I don’t think so! Even Huckabee is not generally accepted a “pure” conservative, so there goes that argument. The point is don’t jump into a blog and start criticizing everyone without knowing your facts. Think things through!! I resent someone just shouting cheater without not at least having a second cup of coffee
Obviously McCain wants to support Huckabee to keep him in the race as long as possible – that way the true conservative vote will be split and McCain will win the nomination. McCain is playing Huckabee like a violin – and Huckabee is showing is true colors.
This was a very dirty play – it disgusts me.
Well, it’s pretty obvious we are in for 4 more years of the same Washington politics….I believe
Romney’s heart is for the people……I guess “the people” will wake up when McCain/Huckabee
or Clinton/Obama raise their taxes, put global warming mandates on fragile US companies
(that translate to higher prices to consumers and put detroit out of business), allow millions of illegal immigrants to remain here at a cost to taxpayers. When it hits “the people’s” wallet, maybe then they will realize we needed a Washington OUTSIDER and a successful businessman to take the reigns. Also, all of you who resent Romney because he is “rich”, at least he spent most of his own earned money, not yours. McCain also is a very wealthy man, do the research…….
Conservative values are gone, progressive liberalism is taking over……..I’ll stay home on
election day. Like Dr. James Dobson, I cannot in good conscience vote for McCain….
A Double Steal, not once, but TWICE
The first was when Senator McCain stole votes from delegates beholding to him so he could engage in Washington Insider Tactics where after more than 20 years he has a PHD in political slight of tongue deceptions.
The second was when he caused Governor Huckabee to BREAK the commandment to not steal nor accept something that they both covet.
And the third Steal by Senator McClain is not working for his present employer, but trying to obtain employment by others without being presence for critical votes in the Senate. Has he instructed the Senate to deduct his salary while engaging in many job interviews. And as this is the fourth steal it includes unethical actions by the former Governor Huckabee by being a party to an ethical violation against the American taxpayer. Both wheeling and dealing politicians are destroying the Republican Party with their animal tactics of donkeys.
It is time for the GOP bodies in Arizona, Arkansas(also God abiding Southern Baptist Convention to take positive action as well) and Nationally to get these wanabes into ethical and moral compliance or boot them out of the US Senate, the Baptist Ministry, and the Republican Party. Otherwise restitution and repentance is in order for this is not Presidential in any shape or form. It is very much unlawful. And so far from being conservative as it is akin to the actions of hogs generating manure as they eat another’s food. They both require retraining but not in the government service or pay of the USA.
John McCain, A Threat To Our National Security
by IM
Most conservative republicans have been worried about John McCain’s stances on fiscal, social and economic issues and how he doesn’t relate to the conservative base on those points. Although these worries are legitimate and something conservative voters must consider serious, they must also realize that this isn’t all. John McCain has not only proven bad on many conservative fiscal, social and economic issues, but is proving to be a serious threat to our nation’s security.
John McCain has touted his goodwill towards terrorist by criticizing any type of strong interrogation tactics. He has been loud in letting people know that he has heard the anti-American sentiment and feels it better to bring terrorist prisoners, awaiting questioning, onto American soil rather than have them in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo). He said- “I would immediately close Guantanamo Bay, move all the prisoners to Fort Leavenworth (an army base in Kansas) and truly expedite the judicial proceedings in their cases,”
Some of the interrogation tactics used at Gitmo have been dubbed as cruel and inhumane. His aggression towards those who believe such interrogation tactics are necessary is fueled by his own experiences while a POW in Vietnam. He mutters words of his horrible experiences and argues that no man should have to suffer as he did. His reasoning is much like his democrat comrades in that their ability to define torture and successful interrogation tactics is skewed. He might as well reason that war all together is wrong and the killing of terrorist is inhumane. Has killing ever been considered “humane”?
Logic tells me that when it comes to my life, my friends, my families and other American citizens lives we need to do anything and everything we can to keep our people safe! There is a difference between tearing people’s limbs off and using calculated interrogation tactics to get information. The bottom line is that we should always error on the side of preserving US citizen lives and stop worrying about how murderous terrorist are feeling in prison at Guantanamo Bay. Without successful interrogation of terrorists in prison we risk the chance of another attack and losing American citizen lives.
The other danger of John McCain is his inability to understand that in order for terrorists to attack on our borders they have to first come through our borders. Again, touting his goodwill, McCain is now infamous amongst conservatives in the know for being the author of one of the most comprehensive amnesty bills that would allow illegal non-US citizens to obtain citizenship in almost a moments notice. The danger doesn’t lie within the amnesty, but in the message that it sends to people throughout the world. The flood gates would open and there would be an immediate influx of people on all sides and borders entering the United States.
Although McCain would now argue that he believes that securing the border is what needs to be done first, this point was never highlighted until he began running for presidency while depending on the vote of conservative republicans. When asked if he would now or later support his amnesty bill he is insistent on pointing out that he believes border security first, while altogether avoiding answering the original question of whether he would still support the bill.
If and when a terrorist attack occurs it wouldn’t be unwise to suggest that it will be in large part because of our weak border policies and our inability to curb a problem that has been past due for decades. John McCain stands in the way of stopping this problem and national security threat by holding strong to the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill. Amnesty rhetoric only fuels the problem and increases the chance of such attacks happening on American soil.
As outrageous as this may sound, John McCain wants to join the international criminal court (ICC) so that foreigners can try our soldiers and people as war criminals. Not only does this sound like a conspiracy and something that would get out of hand, but it is something that would enable other countries part of the ICC to have power and control over US citizens leading to politically motivated charges. Our conservative values state that we need to reduce government and the control government has over our lives, as this will eventually lead to a socialist/communist style of government. This type of Clintonesque political speak is something that is encouraging to terrorists giving them hope and a sense of welcome into scrutinizing our western civilized ways. By joining ICC we are essentially dividing this nation rather than uniting it and creating a bureaucracy for terrorists to use as a platform.
Part of our ability to stay safe in this world has to do with our ability to establish allies and have good working relations with other countries. We need to have someone who is a diplomat and understands how to work with people from all walks of life, even when the situation gets tense and heated. The ability to act as a diplomat and win over leaders of other countries has in large part to do with our Presidents personality, temperament and interpersonal relations with leaders of other countries. This must be done through persuasion and trust. This can only be achieved through having a record showing honesty, integrity and temperance when dealing with other people. John McCain’s record in politics and in his interpersonal relations has been less than stellar. It is evident through numerous people’s accounts about his intemperate “red-faced” tirades, his involvement in scandal (Keating 5) and Clintonesque twisting and misguiding of other people’s words makes him a sure candidate of mistrust. Although he is willing to “Maverick” his way into the populist anti-American sentiment, he is quick to show his defensive nature when legitimate accusations are made against him. America needs a President who possesses Reaganesque qualities, someone who understands when to be strong and when to hold back. These and other qualities will keep America’s foreign relations strong and ultimately keep us safe and supported.
When it comes to McCain’s willingness to fight a battle it’s easy to see that McCain would react fast and harsh after the fact; but at that point it would be too late. His terrorist “goodwill”, liberal rhetoric, and socialist thinking will enable terrorist with more abilities to carry out an attack on American soil. Our national security is at risk with John McCain in the white house.
Cameron, i think i could swallow all your nonsense better if you took that smarmy smile off your face. It was obvious that you were gleeful over any negative about Romney. I actually thought Fox news and their commentators were “fair and balanced”. Boy was I dumb. Huckababy didn’t win WV. Not even close. He was handed the state by McCain. I can’t help by wonder what your response would be about Romney if he should pull such a shenanigan. He would be called the lowest of the low. How is it McCain and Huckababy can disparage Romney and it’s not called negative, but Romney makes a comparison and it’s considered negative. Are you blind and deaf?
I’m ashamed and saddened that Huckabee acually calls himself a Christian, which he seems to be pretty proud of. If Romney pulled that trick on him, he would never hear the end of it. For all McCain’s and Huckabee’s talk about not being negative, they surely are at every opportnity. And Cameron I don’t find your smarmy smile that appealing. It looks very fake, and the things that spew out of your mouth are downright nasty. Don’t even begin to tell me you are “fair and balanced”.
Hucker, you liar, you told Fox News today that you didn’t get McCains’ delegates in West Virginia. How could you possibly call you self a Christian. You and your bed partner would stoop to any level, in order to win president/VP. Are you so naive that you don’t understand that McCain is using you? Just wait, you will look pretty stupid when you don’t get selected for VP.
Are you so stupid not to know that all religions in America are free to worship as they please? You want to take that Right/Freedom of Religion away from us?
Hucker you and McCain have the audacity to talk about an honest, intelligent businessman just because he worked hard for his money and because he has a different religious background than you two liars do!!! Hucker, You and McCaine get your nasty attack ads against Mitt Romney for free. That’s another type of welfare you liberal biggot. You lied about being for Amnesty (American Dream Bill). You want Hardworking American tax-payers to pay trillions of dollars for your Amnesty plan. You are nothing but a racist biggot, against other religions, against intelligence & success, against capitolism, and for American tax-payers footing the bill for illigal aliens. You have a gender bias, and you are a BIG FAT LIAR!!!! Will you take an oath that you are not a liar? No way!!! Why don’t you get out of our country you traitor liberal???
Mitt Romney for President!!! Go Mitt!!!
It wasn’t just McCain supporters– the Huckabee campaign lied to the Paul supporters by telling them they would give them 3 delegates if they supported Huckabee. Now they’ve totally gone back on their word. What a joke.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath over what happened during the WV GOP convention. There was nothing dirty or underhanded about what happened there. Think for a minute about your favorite basketball team in the playoffs. There are four of you left. You are hoping the other semifinal teams match up better for you and that the lower sead beats the higher sead so your teams chances of moving on are better. Nothing more, nothing less. McCain supporters voted for him in the first round having no idea he would not be the winner. Once it became evident he would not take WV it only made sense to vote for someone else in the second round. All delegates were free to chose who they wanted next. It doesn’t take a former governor or the Senator himself to tell me/us who we should have voted for next. The object was to make McCain the Republican nominee not Romney. Romney is a very good man, just not my choice. Romney supporters had the same option to talk to McCain and or Paul supporters as well. Have a nice day. Just remember it’s McCain or its Hiliary or Obama, you decide.
