Huckabee is barely keeping ahead of the avalanche coming up on his heels (his record). So why in heaven's name would any self respecting Republican, especially one with his eye on the prize, take on the mighty mighty Maharushie? Singularly the most self destructive campaign move in the race.
You want this man in charge of the world war on Islamic Jihad. His decision making skills seem sort of shot. Schmuckerbie. Over at The Washington Times here
Mr. Limbaugh has e-mailed
a response, but not to me.
Not that my feelings are hurt. Like I said (see below) Rush is the hardest "get"
in the world, and he doesn't know me from Adam's housecat. -- RSM
As Michelle
Malkin says, somebody "Hucked Up," and gave Mr. Limbaugh -- who frequently
describes himself as head of the Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies --
the opportunity to teach a lesson on the dangers of dissing a man with a
nationwide radio audience of 20 million listeners on more than 600
stations.
Huckabee is using his devout Christianity to mask some other things
that are distinctively not conservative. He is against free trade. He really
doesn't believe in the free market.
"All I can do is hope Rush will love me as much as I love Rush.
Cause I think he's terrific and he's been a very clarion voice for the
conservative movement. ... "If he'll call me, I'd love to visit with him,
cause I'd certainly love to clarify if there is any issue there. I think he's a
person who would probably love to see my candidacy to succeed if he knew
me."
As Larry the Cable Guy might say, that there's funny, I don't
care who you are.
Rush Limbaugh is one of the hardest "gets" in the
world. Because of his huge audience, Rush is the kind of celebrity whom everyone
in the press would like to interview. But he's been misrepresented so many times
-- check out this 1995 Time
magazine cover absurdly warning, "Electronic populism threatens to
short-circuit representative democracy" -- and he doesn't really need any more
publicity, so he very rarely grants interviews.
As Rush has often told
his listeners, if he started giving interviews to every reporter who wanted to
interview him, he'd never have time for anything else.
Now here is
Huckabee, on the cusp of a potentially big win in Iowa, getting hammered by
Limbaugh because of his supporters' statements, and reduced to pleading with
Rush: "Call me."
I'm still waiting for the Fred surge among consistent conservatives. It seems like the other 4 leading Republican candidates have gaping holes in their resumes. I see that Huckabee is surging among a certain group who see him as very like them in values. He is a good poser, but doesn't stand up to scrutiny. My best hope right now is Fred. Go Fred go!
"Senator Kennedy killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head
and pulled the trigger" - George Killen ~ State Police Detective-Lieutenant
Senator Robert Byrd
This ex-Klansman wasn't just a passive member of the nation's most notorious hate group.
He wrote: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union."
The ex-Klansman later filibustered the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act - He also opposed the nominations of the Supreme Court's two black justices, liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas. In fact, the ex-Klansman had the gall to accuse Justice Thomas of "injecting racism" into the Senate hearings.
The ex-Klansman vowed never to fight "with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
Senator John Kerry
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam credited a group led by John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S.
Bill Clinton
Pardoning terrorists, discussing troop movements while being pleasured by an intern, running an obstruction-of-justice operation out of the Oval Office and suborning and committing perjury.........
In acts of official perfidy that may be unparalleled in our nation’s history, Clinton accepted bribes from Red China in the form of illegal political contributions, and in exchange made policy decisions that undermined our national security.
• The Red Chinese military (the so-called People’s Liberation Army, or PLA) is now able to deploy much more accurate nuclear-armed missiles pointed at the United States, in large measure because of policy decisions by President Clinton
• President Clinton signed national security waivers to allow four U.S. commercial satellites to be launched in China, despite evidence that China was exporting nuclear and missile technology to Pakistan and Iran.
"How did it come about that highly sensitive technical information was given to the Chinese? Why did the president ignore the national security experts who counseled against this deal? What damage has been done to our national security?" Goss asked.
Clinton's terror failures are too numerous and damaging to recount here but Bill Clinton was the quintessential dhimmi. He allowed AL QAEDA CELLS - INCLUDING THE 9/11 CELL to OPERATE IN THE USA ignored the World Trade Center bombings of '93, ignored the Cole, the embassy bombings and handed Israel over to the most barbaric terrorist of the late twentieth century, Yassar Arafat.
and that's just for starters...........Clinton-era policies ignored Able Danger (Mohammed Atta et al)

Plagiarist. He plagiarized somebody else's life story, claiming it as his own. He plagiarized a speech from British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. A barrage of revelations by the press contributed to Biden's withdrawal from a presidential race: a serious plagiarism incident involving Biden during his law school years; the senator's boastful exaggerations of his academic record at a New Hampshire campaign event; and the discovery of other quotations in Biden's speeches pilfered from past Democratic politicians.
The Carter White House during the disasters of the Sandinista takeover of Nicaragua, the energy crisis and stagflation, the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis, and the invasion of Afghanistan. Not backing the Shah of Iran in 1979, our close ally in the Middle East, resulted in the take over by Radical Islamic Fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini which brings us to where we are today with Iran.
Time magazine columnist wrote that some of Carter's "Lone Ranger work has taken him dangerously close to the neighborhood of what we used to call treason"
Carter befriended North Korea during the Clinton administration, appeasing the communist regime and giving it cover for its nuclear weapons program
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, two leftwing cub/pitbull reporters at the Wahington Post, intent on bringing down President Nixon.
And they did. After being exposed for covering for his people (not guilty of the break in mind you), Nixon resigned. Imagine if Nixon had been a democrat. Would that ever have happened? The shenanigans of Democrat Presidents going back to JFK's stolen election are wildly known (don't even get me started on Bill).
What made this left wing assault on America so damaging is the subsequent road America went down. Had it not been for Watergate, America- leery and distrusting of the GOP after Nixon's resignation - would never have elected a Democrat, an unknown peanut farmer to the office of the President. A man so out of his league, a man so incapable of the office of the President, that we are still suffering from his ineptitude.
Imagine if Reagan had been President when the leader of one of our greatest allies in the Middle East, Iran, called upon the President for help. Imagine the course of history, if you will, if we had backed the Shah of Iran.
Imagine what a different world this would be.
According to many Iranians, Carter practically pushed out the Shah and gave Iran to the Ayatollah Khomeini (much the way he relinguished control of the Panama Canal).
In a treatise titled, "Some People Push Back," written after the attacks, Churchill asserted the 3,000 people killed at the World Trade Center worked for "the mighty engine of profit" but chose to ignore their role.
"True enough, they were civilians of a sort," he wrote. "But innocent? Gimme a break."
Churchill went on to describe the World Trade Center victims as "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolph Eichmann, who carried out Hitler's plan to exterminate Europe's Jews during World War II.

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, but climb. Edna St. Vincent Millay
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, "A Few Figs from Thistles", 1920
Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart. Edna
I am glad that I paid so little attention to good
advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most
valuable mistakes.
I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year
If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true.
Not truth, but faith, it is that keeps the world alive.
Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin.
The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.
The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.
What the customer demands is last year's model,

Life has Loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fires that sways and swing,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup
Life has Loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of Gold,
Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
Eyes that love you,
arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy stars that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of Peace
Count many a year of strife well lost
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.
Kofi Annan
