Huckabee just HIJACKED Ron Paul's message !!!

The so-called FAIR TAX is a BIG sales tax that will give politicians free rein to spend all they like. The income tax was supposed to stay at about 1% when it was introduced. Expect the FAIR TAX to rise after it is introduced. The politicians will not stop spending and that is the problem. The FAIR TAX will be added to any state sales tax so could add more than 30% to the price of goods - just to start with. If inflation continues on up, a pretty sure bet, then prices will go through the roof. They talk about giving a tax credit to help poor families pay for stuff. Suddenly it will pay to be poor. Expect a rise in poverty levels. That means they'll have to increase the FAIR TAX. Never mind the poor will receive a bigger tax credit. The mind boggles. These people never learn.
 
I hope that all the candidates "hijack" Ron Paul's message. The message is the movement. It is the part of all this that we want to endure long after we are all gone.

I understand that Huckabee is using Ron Paul's message as a mask to his real intentions. I don't think that Romney has real intentions; only the mask.

If every candidate supported limited government, a non-interventionist foreign policy, rejection of fiat currency, and a tax code I could read, I think I would be in heaven. If we show that this message turns out votes. We will have won.

I disagree and I think it is a big mistake to underestimate him. The fact is, he has no money and he won in Iowa - why? - because the media is propping him up - giving him lots and lots of free air.

The left leaning media is pro- Billary and pro- status quo. By propping up Huckabee, they know it will be an easy win for her Thighness.

The media does NOT choose our candidates, and there is such a thing as party. Huckabee is a social conservative (by hearing him tell it) and a populist. The GOP believes that social conservatives should only speak when spoken to. They will throw him a VP spot, and that is it. I have never heard of Democrats choosing the Republican nominee.

There may well be Deomocratic party-leaning journalists who enjoy watching Republicans scramble to catch the evangelical vote, and Huckabee is entertaining. Never gonna get it.

Remember that Huckabee's support is only 20% of the VERY small GOP base. There is no way he can rise above that number. Republicans know this.

Ron Paul can improve his polling numbers if he catches Huckabee supporters, but you will never do that by talking constantly about how you think Huckabee has an even remote chance at getting the nomination. He cannot "hijack" Ron Paul's message. They all say they have some message. From what I've seen, Ron Paul is the only one running who may have a point.

We noticed this over the New Year's break. It is horrendous. This is why I am beginning to think that Ron Paul needs to be more aggressive. ie interrupting a candidate's response of a question and demanding specifics. Huckleberry can't get away with Paul's philosophy; if he is forced to address the specifics. He will end up shooting his own foot. Paul needs to demand specifics, more often then not. Especially about economics, because very few can hang with him on that subject.
 
Ron Paul should have interrupted Huckabee last night when he was rattling of the declaration of independence.
 
Don't forget the Democrats stealing the "We want to pull out of Iraq" message. All democrats last night in the debate said that.

Remember the last elections, that's what they were voted in for and did the EXACT opposite.
 
Rudy stole Dr. Paul's "free trade" language.
Huckster stole his "abolish the IRS" language.
Thompson even was talking about the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

They are trying to talk their way into Dr. Paul's positions but keep the wars and Fed Notes flowing.
 
Did anyone notice that ABC stole the "Revolution" as well? They used it several times in the introduction, but never mentioned Ron Paul.
 
That's what you can expect from Pandering, Plagiaristic, Presidential Hacks like; Huckabee, Thompson, McCain, Romney, Giuliano

I'm surprised that RON PAUL has commented more and makes a bit of humor in the process...

The Other Presidential Candidates, like HUCK, Thompson, etc... are copying from presidential campaign statements, that I'll have to start Filing Patent/Copyright Infringement Lawsuits against all of them! lol jokingly
 
ALL the more reason that the TIME IS NOW FOR A THIRD AND FINAL IMPROTU MONEY BOMB!!!

Wow...this seems incredibly naive a stance to me to think that media can't choose the candidate. I am pretty sure that anyone who is out canvassing has heard more than once how Dr.Paul cannot win, wonder where they got this opinion from? How about a vote for him is a vote thrown away? How about what damage just not having the name in the media is doing because of the general lack of familiarity breeds contempt?

Why is it that FOX just switched an AP article from:

this:"Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul have passed through since September. Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have not."

to this:"Only Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter have passed through since September."

They(FOX higher ups) know that if they drop his name from public view then you do not get someone to say hey, I wonder who that is and try to research....So, yes, media does choose the candidates and has been pressuring people to vote as they see fit...

That said, I think that the GOP idea is to get Guliani/Huckabee to unite the party or vice-versa and then Huckabee will meet some ill fated end...
 
My point being that we still have an election process. Sure, there's the media, but this is not a unified front. There are competing interests and opposing view points. At the end of the day, the presidency is determined by votes, no matter how cynical you want to be.

Again, Huckabee is getting support exclusively from Protestant Christian evangelicals. This is 20% of the rapidly shrinking GOP. He will never get the nomination with this acknowledged and stubborn fact. Of course, it can't hurt to troll Ron Paul forums and try to steal some of his base by convincing them Huckbee poses any serious threat.

The establishment perceives the social conservatives as useful idiots. Huckabee will never be the GOP nominee or the next POTUS. We should be trying to persuade his supporters over to our cause.
