How to turn people away from Huckabee

[Matt Collins]

My sister is a stay at home Baptist mom who home schools; all of the stereotypes apply.


Huck was in town recently and she fwd me a message to her home schooler group of roughly 50 or so other like minded parents. Fortunately she isn't that bright and she "cc"d everyone on the list HA HA. So I promptly replied to her including everyone in that list hitting "reply to all"


Here is what I sent:

Hey Sister -

I hope you are not considering voting for Mike Huckabee?
If you are considering giving him your vote, I think there are some things you should know about him first...



Did you know that Huckabee lied about having a theology degree?

"Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told the Christian Broadcasting Network he had a theology degree, he told voters in Iowa he had a theology degree, he repeated the claim in last month's CNN YouTube debate ... but, his campaign now says, it was not true."
The article is here:
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59222#



As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman.

As governor, Huckabee was a tax-raiser to put till Clinton shame.
In this short video you can see Huckabee begging for a tax increase:

Also troubling is Huckabee's support for illegal immigration.
As governor, he helped Arkansas serve as a magnet for illegal immigrants who wanted jobs in the Tyson chicken plants or in-state tuition rates unavailable to American citizens from neighboring states. And he also approved a Mexican consulate generously offered up to the Mexican government for free.


Here is a video of Huckabee begging for scholarships for illegal immigrants:

A few weeks ago while on national TV Huckabee made a very sick and improper joke about suicide: "...I'd have to be sitting in a warm tub of water with razor blades in both hands..."
This is not a remark that someone who could be the next President should be joking about.
You can watch the video clip here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-2Sb7dFsvM



There are also many questionable ethics violations by Huckabee as governor:

Here is an article that points out why Christians should beware of Huckabee
http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin411.htm

And also in Mathew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."





I dont know if you still want to vote for Huckabee given the previous information which I hope you have read. I personally recommend voting for Ron Paul.


Ron Paul was an OB/GYN and is staunchly against abortion. He delivered over 4000 babies and never once performed an abortion.

You can see Ron Paul speaking at the National Right to Life convention here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXZpuIXEzWk


Pat Robertson practically endorses Ron Paul in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opEM8tKdOLM
(although for whatever reason he eventually went on to endorse Rudy a pro-abortion candidate).


Radio pastor Chuck Baldwin does indeed endorse Ron Paul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW_sp3Hymac

Check out:
http://www.christiansforronpaul.com/

You can also see Ron Paul's statement of faith:
http://www.covenantnews.com/ronpaul070721.htm


And Ron Paul is HUGE on home schooling and thinks the federal government needs to get OUT of education.
Check out these two pages for more information
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/home-schooling/
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/homeschoolers/

And in this brief speech Ron Paul says that giving power to parents is truly pro-education

Anyway hopefully that will give you enough information to help you make an informed decision on who to consider voting for. If nothing else, try Googling for Ron Paul and see what responses come back, There are also other countless videos of Ron on YouTube etc.


Love ya much,

Nice. This is a great resource that I can use with many family members here in Arkansas. I’m trying my best to get the word out while local media loves to report on Huckablah.

Thanks for posting this.

The R party is not going to nominate Huck. The R party base is looking for a conservative to rally behind.

 

[RoyalShock]

Don't forget the legislation Huck signed as Ark governor that restricted the rights of parents to pull their kids out of public schools to homeschool.

Yes - this has worked on several people I know to cast doubt on Huckabee... USE THIS - these methods are PROVEN.

 

[LivingFree]

This should be Stickied. Excellent post.

I think Huckabee has a dangerously good chance to be nominated. When he does, however, I think were going to see one of the worst turn outs in election history. Which I'm all for.

Simply put the mountain of horrible things Huckabee is didn't have an effect and he got them all out before the first primary. I'm not so sure it can come back to haunt him.

But I think that it's an information problem. In other words we need to get this information out there!

I used this today...

Here's the response...

These have already been answered by Huckabee successfully. Try coming up with something new.

And yes, I do plan on voting for Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee is the Republican party's version of jim McGovern... the party is in deep trouble, though that may be a reflection of the state of the country.. I know my family are partisan military republicans, everyone is disgusted by Huck, we're all ready to leave the party

 

[sasha_2008]

Another question for her, as a Christian does she believe having the hated federal government being seen as the face of Christianity is a good thing or a bad thing?

Ask them to cite examples of the responses given about these accusations. To my knowledge hes been dodging these issues relentlessly. Hes been investigated and FOUND guilty of those ethics violations. how does he justify that.

 

[graystar]

I want to know how Huckabee can be truly pro-life but still support the war in iraq?

A Covert simulated attack, with live gun fire, using Black Helicopters, on a small south Texas town -- did happen! --- "They" want the huckster (and his new found CFR buddyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_BucPcJrHI) to win the the GOP nomination, resulting in a Hilary landslide victory. Sounds conspiratorial, ooooh, but is it true?

I want to know how Huckabee can be truly pro-life but still support the war in iraq?

Its an almost inherent evil in mankind - the incessant use of rationalization.

"They" want the huckster (and his new found CFR buddy

Unfortunately most of the voters don't know what the CFR is and don't care.
