   If anyone expects Obama and the left to follow the Constitution you are nuts.

   Very, very true! The Constitution, to Obama and his minions, is a quaint old document with no bearing on life today.

   Exactly. What do you think they meant by the lyrics:

   “He’s gonna change it, rearrange it”

   Sorry, can’t lie to myself. As a Conservative I believe in truth and the glass ain’t half full anymore folks!

   *I am okay with Huckabee as he relates well with the common folk, and strongly supports the Fair Tax, which transfers power back to the people like nothing else ever envisioned.
   *No need to lie, just maintain a desire to fight for what you believe in; My motto has always been “Get results, don’t give excuses”, and I have no plans otherwise.

   Huckabee was the one who was PROUD to be spending taxpayer money on illegals.

   Romney had to remind him in the debate, “It’s not your money to spend!”

   Huckabee is Statist.

   Here are some facts about Huckabee:

   Excerpt from THIS article from The Club For Growth.

   Immediately upon taking office, Governor Huckabee signed a sales tax hike in 1996 to fund the Games and Fishing Commission and the Department of Parks and Tourism (Cato Policy Analysis No. 315, 09/03/98).

   He supported an internet sales tax in 2001 (Americans for Tax Reform 01/07/07).

   He publicly opposed the repeal of a sales tax on groceries and medicine in 2002 (Arkansas News Bureau 08/30/02).

   He signed bills raising taxes on gasoline (1999), cigarettes (2003) (Americans for Tax Reform 01/07/07), and a $5.25 per day bed-tax on private nursing home patients in 2001 (Arkansas New Bureau 03/01/01).

   He proposed another sales take hike in 2002 to fund education improvements (Arkansas News Bureau 12/05/02).

   He opposed a congressional measure to ban internet taxes in 2003 (Arkansas News Bureau 11/21/03).

   In 2004, he allowed a 17% sales tax increase to become law (The Gurdon Times 03/02/04).

   By the end of his ten-year tenure, Governor Huckabee was responsible for a 37% higher sales tax in Arkansas, 16% higher motor fuel taxes, and 103% higher cigarette taxes according to Americans for Tax Reform (01/07/07), garnering a lifetime grade of D from the free-market Cato Institute. While he is on record supporting making the Bush tax cuts permanent, he joined Democrats in criticizing the Republican Party for tilting its tax policies “toward the people at the top end of the economic scale” (Washington Examiner 09/13/06), even though objective evidence demonstrates that the Bush tax cuts have actually shifted the tax burden to higher income taxpayers.”

   Huckabee the next Ronald Reagan? Give me a break.

    Libertybelle – Good video, but there is an AD that covers up the message for quite a bit of it. It’s selling a song.

    It really interferes with the video. I’ve never seen ads on YouTubes before.

    The ad is from Itunes selling a song called “Ashes and Coals” in case you’re wondering.

    If that’s the future of YouTube, I’ll stop watching them.

    Joy,
    I don’t want to derail this thread into a Romney-Huckabee debate,
    so I will make one and only one reply to your comment.

    Mike Huckabee is a fiscal conservative who cut taxes almost 100 times in the state of Arkansas and returned almost $400 million to Arkansas taxpayers, including the first broad-based tax cut in the history of the state.

    A fair appraisal of Governor Huckabee’s record reveals that he is an authentic, consistent conservative whose goal is to reduce both taxes and spending

    And in terms of immigration, Who Was the Only Presidential Candidate to commit to Sessions’ 15 Point Plan?

    The Fair Tax is the right way to go for many, many reasons.

    One of the things the Fair Tax does is turn the tables on illegal alien tax cheats. Instead of them not paying taxes (or worse yet getting $12,000 EICTC checks from the government), all illegals would be paying tax like everyone else, and illegals would not be sent “prebate” checks becuase they aren’t legally in this country.

    Which of the 2008 Presidential candidates supported the Fair Tax?

    Switching from looking back to looking forward, “We the People” should keep up the push to switch to the Fair Tax. It would give a very real “Stimulus” to our economy.

    Instead, the DemonRats want to give us the Communists’ 40 year wish-list all wrapped up into a trillion dollar crap sandwich.

    ITTRP – I posted a fair appraisal by a conservative group.

    And again, he barely squeaked ahead of Romney in the primaries by staying in the race and getting the anti-McCain votes. That’s how bad of a candidate he was and IS. He is a Statist and not many conservatives will climb on that bus.

    We’re moving precipitously close to what I would call a savior-based economy,” Sanford also said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.

    The South Carolina Republican said such an economy is “what you see in Russia or Venezuela or Zimbabwe or places like that where it matters not how good your product is to the consumer but what your political connection is to those in power.”

    Thanks, Governor. Of course, my Savior didn’t preach stimulus bills in Jerusalem, while his disciples paid off politicians with “pork” spending. I wonder what will happen when the stimulus money runs out and these companies still don’t have buyers for their products? Run back to Obama, Reid and Pelosi, and get “nationalized”.

    And speaking of the RINO scumbag Arlen Specter…Bill Bennett said this morning on his radio show that sometimes he likes and Arlen Specter and sometimes he doesn’t!

    This made me insane…but not about Specter…about Bennett. Bennett has a pleasant style, a great sidekick in Seth, and an intelligent show. But Bennett is somewhat of a RINO and a fraud himself. He is much less of a conservative than his audience but manages to dance the line. ANYBODY who EVER thinks Specter has days that he likes is no political friend of mine. And Bennett was soft on immigration and always a fan of McCain. But Bennett cuts and trims and dodges and acts folksy. But he is a freakin’ RINO.

    I should clarify that Bennett’s remark that sometimes Specter is okay and sometimes not was in DEFENSE of Specter to a caller who was hot at him, as most of us are. (In fairness, it was a brief blowoff of the caller going into a break. But it is SPECTER who needs blowing off, not callers who attack him.)

    Huckter was very pro-illegal as Arkansas governor, and even spoke at LULAC/La raza events.

    He changed his position from pro illegals to anti-illegals when he entered the primary even faster than pro-life Al Gore in 1988 decided he was 100% pro-abortion when he entered the Democrat primaries.

    Side note- Al Gore, not George Bush, ran the first “Willie Horton” ads against Michael Dukakis.

    The Honorable Chariman Michael Steele
    Republican National Committee
    (202) 863-8820

    Sir:

    If the Republican party can not sustain a filibuster against the seriously flawed House Resolution 1, I will not support the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee or the National GOP in any way unless the Republican senators who voted for cloture or indicated a willingness to vote for cloture to prevent a filibuster are not publically excluded from receiving funds. I will not send my hard earned money to support candidates like Senator Specter in 2010 who do not share my conservative principles.

    I have contributed in the past to President Bush, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator McCain during the general election, the RNC and ‘SarahPAC’, as well as LTC Bill Russell’s campaign against John Murtha. I plan to do my best to help fiscal and social conservatives win back power in 2010 and 2012, but I will not support a Republican who is not conservative.

    I would prefer a meeting of the caucus, of the type the Democrats had concerning Senator Lieberman’s patriotic support for Senator McCain last year, to vote whether any senators who regularly vote with Senator Reid should be allowed to remain in the caucus. Clearly, if they won’t support the filibuster in this case, they will never support any filibuster, and it won’t matter if their expulsion results in more than 60 Democratic senators. At a minimum, a public declaration now of non-support from the National Party for those not with the rest of the Republican caucus before tomorrow’s vote should be made.

    Sincerely,

    Do the math…

    Over the weekend someone sent me the following information. If you started with the “Stimulus” bill before Congress and you started on the day Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World and went about spending $4,000,000 a day you would still have several tens of billions of dollars left to spend.

    Of course, this ignores the extra day in leap years, but here is the math:

    2009 – 1492 x 365 x 4,000,000 = >$754 Billion!

    INCREDIBLE!!!

    Now, I just heard that there is a tax credit of $15,000 for home buyers. What about those of us that qualified for our mortgages and have paid on time, every time and paid out taxes as well.

    Also, I keep hearing how all of this is George Bush’ and the republicans fault. When are the pubbies going to start telling whose fault it actually is – Barney Frank and the dems! Time for these a$$e$ to grow a pair and go on the attack just lilke the non tax paying dems would do!

    Joy – there is a small “x” in the upper right corner of the AD itself allowing you to close it and watch the video unimpeded. I was forced to use one of the songs with an ad as I don’t have rights to use “real” songs.
