Huckabee RNC Speech

Is the average age of the GOP over sixty? Watching the speech from former Governor Huckabee that is now a Fox News consultant sure as hell looked that way. All those empty seats in the small stadium. Blocks of seats and all of the close ups in the speech were for the most part as if you were looking at a Social Security reunion speech.

This convention was similar to looking at an Amway rally. Of course the only ones invited were the ones that could afford to pay the entrance fee. Millionaires only allowed. No teenagers, no mid twenty year olds, nobody under thirty! Holy crap, McCain and the Republican party do not trust anyone over sixty! Except for hot babes that happen to be Governor of Alaska?

Leave it up to Republican’s like Mike Hucabee to draw the POW card and of course veterans that served an earned children the right to go to school because they served. Tell a story where a teacher teaches children why they have the right to a school desk and it is because veterans fought for it and they gave it to them. Then John McCain votes against most of the bills funding the Veterans Administration that services all of our wounded veterans? Tell me I’m wrong but I believe it was Franklin Roosevelt that made public education mandated. It may have been Truman but it was not a Republican President. Over at MSNBC they have Hucabee's speech...



Keep playing the Veteran card, and keep playing the POW card. Then vote against veterans every single time in mass as a political party. If you don’t get it by now that the Republican Party is all about protecting the money they already have then you honestly don’t know what politics is all about. Their candidate is not about you, it is about protecting them.

McCain Rove Connection

With all the hype about McCain being the only qualified GOP candidate you don’t hear much about former Governor Huckabee who is still in the race. That is till he starts winning states over McCain.

Over at GOP central they possibly manipulated this election with the Romney drop out but they never considered the Huckabee chip in this election. In the game of political chess the GOP was praying that Huckabee would follow Romney’s lead and just drop out of the process thus ensuring a unified GOP political machine. This is how the big boys play chess and sometimes the moves you make are missed when the player your are protecting is way over on the other side of the chess board.

Over at the Washington Post they have this on the current political state of the GOP. Somebody is moving the pieces on the board over at the GOP and it isn’t just John McCain…

Karl Rove, President Bush's former senior political adviser, did his best to shoot down Huckabee's chances. Rove said on CBS that it is far-fetched to presume that McCain will say or do something to doom his candidacy.

Huckabee "said he could win, provided that there were mistakes made by his opponent, and that some of these bound or pledged delegates would change their mind. Well, even if they change their mind, they're bound or pledged to vote for the candidate who won their primary," Rove said. "I find it very unlikely, completely implausible, that Governor Huckabee could win 83 percent of the delegates."

As Bush's adviser, Rove ran a brutal campaign against McCain as Bush and the senator dueled for the GOP nomination in 2000. But this week, Rove donated money to the McCain campaign. - Washington Post

Karl Rove should have been put in jail with the CIA identity agent leak scandal but that is another story for another day. If he is the background of the GOP then that is the type of folks they want in the White House once more. Make no mistake about it Karl Rove has his hand in this election process and the tactics he will use against any opponent will be far worse than you have ever seen.

Not to detract from the political record of John McCain, I’m wondering if he sent Karl Roves check back? Common sense would dictate that you do not want anything to do with the Bush crew of more lies, more deception, more smoke and mirrors and more screwing over of America. That isn’t the Straight Talk Express of McCain but I’m betting the farm that the check cleared and McCain is dirty with it.

Is it just me or is it just politics where a man could stab you in the back eight years ago but then he believes in your message today? Push poll and call you a coward and having a child unrecognized by the father eight years ago but he’s your guy for President in 2008? It’s up to the Huckabee Campaign to pick up on this and run with it but then again he’s running on a shoe string budget.

Any connection to any campaign by Karl Rove is a death sentence simply because everyone running for President is running against what Bush and Karl Rove did to America. Common sense dictates that you don’t touch the same burner on the stove once you have burned your fingers. You just don’t do it ever again.

That all being said, Obama or Clinton have an EZ Pass to the White House. Save this post, this was the undoing of John McCain in this Presidential election. That makes this Democrat happy.
