Our Platform for Outlining Colorado’s Future

A very favorable Op-Ed piece at NewsBlaze compared Romney to Reagan.  Don't let the title of the piece worry you; John Lillpop has nothing but good things to say about Romney: "Fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate running for the White House. He is also the most experienced and qualified, a fact attested to by his service as the governor of liberal-infested Massachusetts, and by his enormously successful personal finances." "No other candidate comes close to matching his qualifications for taking over the Oval Office' "Best of all, Romney is intelligent, articulate, and an eternal optimist. He is a contemporary clone of Ronald Reagan, but in sacred underwear." Here's the link: http://newsblaze.com/story/20071223154749lill.nb/newsblaze/OPINIONS/Opinions.html .  

What happened to that cartoon guy...   Can we make a political cartoon similar to this one, with Huckabee, the populist swallowing the republican party?   Bryan as Populist swallowing the Democratic party ; 1896 cartoon from the Republican magazine Judge .

A Closer Look At The Long History Behind Politics and Religion In America Dec. 23, 2007   (CBS)  "In God We Trust" is right there on all our coins and currency. To find the phrase "Wall of Separation," however, you must go not to the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, but to a letter President Thomas Jefferson wrote to Connecticut Baptists in 1802. His words have guided us ever since, but what, in practical terms, do they mean? Our Cover Story is reported now by Martha Teichner : Eleven days and counting before their state nominating caucuses, it's understandable that some Iowa Republicans may be having trouble separating politics and religion. The battle between Mitt Romney , the Mormon, and Mike Huckabee , the Baptist preacher, has defined the race.   But even the possibility that a candidate's brand of faith could become a kind of presidential litmus test worries as many, if not more, Americans than it reassures - among them, Jon...

It might be useful to list out those important conservative stalwarts that have spoken out against Huckabee lately (those that haven't endorsed another candidate at least): Please Rush Limbaugh : Bob Novak : Condileeza Rice Peggy Noonan Charles Kruthammer Michelle Malkin Fred Barnes George Will -- ( these comments too on a TV news show) Laura Ingraham : David Limbaugh Kim Strassell : Pat Buchanan Mitt Romney :) Sean Hannity (kind of) Michael Reagan Glenn Beck   ( semi "reconciliation" ---- but then he's still not too impressed ) Matt Drudge:  . . . it's obvious that he has a bone to pick with Huckabee.  Jim Geraghty Tony Blankley Ann Coulter: Rich Lowry : Dean Barnett : Mark Hemningway Austin Hill Tom Bevan Kathryn Jean Lopez Frank Gaffney Peter Wehner Hugh Hewitt The Editors of National Review   (Oh yeah, this one too )

Saturday, December 22, 2007 Larry Kudlow On Mike Huckabee Posted by: Hugh Hewitt  at 9:52 AM I closed my interview with CNBC's Larry Kudlow yesterday ( transcript here ) with a question about Mike Huckabee's economic populism.  Larry's response: [W]hen I had Governor Huckabee on, what was it, last week or the week before, I had a bout with him. I went at it. He wants to, if need be, have government regulate salaries. I think he's crazy. I don't think he understands the free market business system. He's not good on taxing, he's not good on spending, he's not good on free trade. In other words, all the prosperity factors seem to be Mr. Huckabee's weakness. I don't think he understands it. He's just out of tune with all measures of free market, supply side economics. You know, it isn't his religion, and I admire his religion. I personally am a man of faith. I regard myself as an Evangelical, the fact is. But it's not his religion,...

I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but it is working out well...   Maybe too well?   http://fwcon.wordpress.com/ Mitt Romney: Simply Brilliant Imagine Mitt Romney sitting with a bunch of reporters. He says, "You know, I have always been for civil rights, even back in the 60's. I saw my father march with Martin Luther King, Jr." What would happen? Do you think the old media would trumpet this across the front pages? Of course not. If the old media ran with that story, not only would it help Mitt, but it would help the Republican Party by demonstrating that in the 60's, only the republicans were united behind the civil rights movement. The democrats were split. So since it would help republicans, the story was tanked, if it was ever started. So what does Mitt do? He gives a speech on national TV, a speech that was supposed to be about his religion. (Note how every time Mitt came out and said it wasn't about his religion that the media drumme...

From John King on a bus in Iowa.  Sure he cut some taxes (raised far more), but how does he get away with claiming that he cut spending? $6.7 Billion to $16 AR state budget over his tenure . . . OVER THREE TIMES THE RATE OF INFLATION.  So me the "cut spending" record Huck! Just another Huckabee lie (I can't see any other explanation, can you?) Jeff PS  Bonus material:  Huck said that he's not sure if he actually wrote the words "arrogant bunker mentality", but he "owns them now." - - - a wimpy attempt to blame a speech writer for that gaffe.  However he also said nearly those same words over two months ago.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQitn77AXvo&eurl=http://www.mymanmitt.com/mitt-romney/ Also, Huck complained on that bus that he's pretty sure that Rice didn't read his whole essay, because if she did, she wouldn't be criticizing it (the same thing he said about Romney's critiques). I love...
