Today, Romney for President launched its newest television ad, "Not Politically Correct." The ad highlights Governor Romney's record of fighting for conservative principles in the bluest of blue states. When it was not politically correct, Governor Romney stood up for life, required English in the classroom and fought for marriage as between a man and a woman. Governor Romney believes that we can strengthen America by bringing pro-family, conservative change to Washington. The ad will be airing as part of the campaign's rotation in Iowa. Script and viewing links are below. Script For "Not Politically Correct" (TV:30): ANNOUNCER: "When it wasn't politically correct, he stood up for life in Massachusetts. "When it wasn't politically correct, he fought for English in the classroom. "When it wasn't politically correct, he said marriage should be between a man and a woman." GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "You strengthen the Americ...

The following article from the wall street journal says this:   "Mr. Romney has converted to conservative social positions on abortion, and so on."   You know what? I'm tired of the lazy journalist who uses the "and so on". That is all they ever say, because besides abortion, you have to make the argument that we live in a black and white world, and their are no shades of grey, in order to say that Romney "changed" on these other issues. If you are not the most extreme person in the world, you are going to make some arguments about were your beliefs have limits. Freedom of speech is good until you are screaming at the top of your lungs at 2:00 in the morning in the middle of your neighbor's lawn. Romney's flip-flop accusers who are politically motivated use this type of logic to say; "on this date you said a pro statement and on this date you made a con statement" but they take these quotes out of context in such a way ...

College Station, TX – Speaking at The George Bush Presidential Library, Governor Romney addressed the American people about his views on religious liberty, our country grand tradition of religious tolerance and how faith would inform his Presidency.   Governor Romney's "Faith In America" Address (As Prepared For Delivery):   "Thank you, Mr. President, for your kind introduction.   "It is an honor to be here today.  This is an inspiring place because of you and the First Lady and because of the film exhibited across the way in the Presidential library.  For those who have not seen it, it shows the President as a young pilot, shot down during the Second World War, being rescued from his life-raft by the crew of an American submarine.  It is a moving reminder that when America has faced challenge and peril, Americans rise to the occasion, willing to risk their very lives to defend freedom and preserve our nation.  We are in your de...

Speaking at The George Bush Presidential Library at 10:30am EST, Governor Romney will address the American people about his views on religious liberty, our country's grand tradition of religious tolerance and how faith would inform his Presidency.   The speech will be live streamed on www.mittromney.com .   Excerpts from Governor Romney's address follow: http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Faith_In_America_Excerpts Excerpts Of Governor Romney's Remarks (As Prepared For Delivery): "There are some who may feel that religion is not a matter to be seriously considered in the context of the weighty threats that face us.   If so, they are at odds with the nation's founders, for they, when our nation faced its greatest peril, sought the blessings of the Creator.   And further, they discovered the essential connection between the survival of a free land and the protection of religious freedom.   In John Adam's words: 'We have no...

A Missouri mother says she will do "whatever it takes" to stop former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee from becoming president, because he freed the man who went on to rape and murder her daughter, Carol Sue Shields. Full story here This was only one clemency in a long list of clemencies, this online petition documents some of the more offensive clemencies. The signers of the petition also gave their views on Huckabee’s clemency policy, pleaded for him to change his policy, and shared some of the grief caused by his policy in comments made with their online signatures. Those signatures and comments can be viewed here

Huckabee sidestepped a question about whether or not The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or “Mormons” is a Christian faith saying, "I'm just not going to go off into evaluating other people's doctrines and faiths. I think that is absolutely not a role for a president," Yet a Southern Baptist President (Jimmy Carter) has already don just that, not only did he confirm that “Mormons” are Christians", but he chastised the Southern Baptist Convention for trying to characterizes them as non-Christians. “Too many leaders now, I think, in the Southern Baptist Convention and in other conventions, are trying to act as the Pharisees did who were condemned by Christ, in trying to define who can and who cannot be considered an acceptable person in the eyes of God," he said. "In other words, they're making judgments on behalf of God. I think that's wrong." It’s sad when a Republican Candidate can’t convey the same religious tolerance as Dem...

Faith-based voting film in works By: Mike Allen December 5, 2007 11:26 AM EST An ecumenical, bipartisan team is heading into 10 early-voting states with a documentary about faith and politics that is loaded with provocative interviews in an effort to force viewers to confront biases they're never realized. The film, to be announced Wednesday afternoon and released in theaters and DVD on Jan 15, is called "Article VI," after the section of the Constitution which says that "no religious test" shall be required as a qualification for federal office. The announcement of the film comes as Mitt Romney prepares to give a speech Thursday in Texas that will address his Mormon faith. A trailer says the movie "asks voters whether they would have denied America some of the greatest presidents in history because of their religious beliefs." The director, Bryan Hall of Living Biography Media, tells Politico that one of his most surprising discoveries ...

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt  at 12:07 AM Politico's Jonathan Martin reports on a very disturbing conversation with Mike Huckabee: Huckabee not aware of NIE report on Iran My colleague David Paul Kuhn attended an on-the-record dinner with Mike Huckabee and a group of reporters tonight in Des Moines. The transcript speaks for itself: Kuhn: I don't know to what extent you have been briefed or been able to take a look at the NIE report that came out yesterday ...   Huckabee: I'm sorry? Kuhn: The NIE report, the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. Have you been briefed or been able to take a look at it — Huckabee: No. Kuhn: Have you heard of the finding? Huckabee: No. Read the whole thing. This is a pretty astonishing admission of cluelessness on the part of Governor Huckabee.  And it places the Romney gardener story in its proper context. My concern about the Huckabee pop is that it is hard to imagine the former Arkansas governor winning the November vote....

 By Richard Cohen Tuesday, December 4, 2007; Page A21 What could be called "The Huckabee Moment" occurred Sunday morning when ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked the former Arkansas governor, suddenly and ominously the front-runner in Iowa's GOP contest, whether Mitt Romney is a Christian. Mike Huckabee knew precisely what was being asked of him, and he also knew, because he is a preacher, what the right -- not the clever, mind you -- answer should be. But Huckabee merely smiled that wonderful smile of his and punted. This, with apologies to George W. Bush , is the soft demagoguery of low expectations. Until just recently, the expectations have indeed been low for Huckabee. He is more famous for losing more than 100 pounds than for any towering political accomplishment. But he is an ordained Baptist minister, and Romney is a Mormon -- a member of a church that some conservative Christians consider heretical. Huckabee has presented himself as the un-Mormon....

Huckabee adopted the plan when he, unknown and languishing far back in the polls, was a Not Ready for Prime Time Player. It probably seemed a cheap way to inoculate Huckabee from his tax-raising history as Arkansas governor. Huckabee both raised and cut taxes during his 10 years as governor, but his tax hikes outweighed his tax cuts by half a billion dollars. Click here for more. © 2007 by King Features Syndicate

Donald Lambro in the Washington Times concludes : Mr. Huckabee says he would like to eliminate the Internal Revenue Service and replace the income Tax with the so-called Fair Tax , which would impose a national sales Tax on virtually everything we buy. But such a Tax would be a disaster for this country, especially for low- and middle-income Americans who spend a disproportionate portion of their earnings — in many cases all of it — on the necessities of life.   It would wreak untold havoc on the business community, driving down retail sales and creating an underground economy that would undermine America's productive marketplace — especially small businesses that produce most of the jobs in our country.   The Club for Growth was formed with one purpose: to promote economic growth by lowering the Tax rates, simplifying the Tax code and providing Tax incentives to expand business formation, savings, investment and economic opp...

Richard Cohen calls Huckabee a Shameless Follower for campaigning on the principle of religious intolerance in his article Un-Mormon and Unchristian

Would you like to be Governor for a day?

It’s been discovered that the push-pollers in Iowa are also Huckabee donors “Estruth was also a sponsor of Huckabee’s fundraising reception earlier this month and he and his wife have already given $2,300, the maximum allowed in a primary, to Huckabee..” “Swift and his wife served as co-hosts for a Huckabee fundraiser earlier this month in suburban Cincinnati.” The group intends on continuing their push-polls, expanding into other early primary states. They also have refused to give out the names of others who are funding these push-polls. Since these push-pollers are donors, will Huckabee return their donations, and the donations received at fundraisers they hosted and sponsored?
