Hucksterbee plays to the worst of people and is divisive. That is not good for anyone.

If the simple act of stating a Governors Record or the votes of a Senator comes across as negative, could it be that the record and the votes themselves are viewed negatively by conservatives?

Mitt Romney is talking about policy and Huckabee and McCain are being the nasty, vindictive politicians they have always been.

To those of us in the real world, it is the latter that is negative.

Huckabee has the Clinton playbook memorized. When someone points out your record, you attack them for negative campaiging and get your sympathizers in the MSM to repeat the charge over and over again. Then you show them what negative campaiging really is, but you justify it by saying you are just responding to their provocation.

And just so the Huckabee defense team knows how to flame me, I'm NOT a Romney supporter.

Huckabee is stupid as his recent comments re Pakistan show. He will never win and he hurt Hunter and Thompson’s chances.

[Texas Eagle]

Huckabee lashed out at Mitt Romney as desperate, dishonorable and dishonest

Alliteration. The last refuge of a scoundrel.

I was thinking of the worst living former POTUS. I could only be 50% correct.

Romney did not go negative. Romney pointed out the truth about Huckabee's liberal policies in Arkansas.

In my mind, an ad is negative when it attacks someone’s personal character. John McCain uses the MSM newspaper endorsements in an ad to call Romney a “phony.” That’s negative and personal. It doesn't address one's policies or the issues at hand. Additionally, Huck's use of religion as a divisive tool is negative, not factual or policy based.

When Romney runs an ad contrasting himself and Huck on a matter of public policy, he’s not resorting to an ad hominem attack.

None of Romney's factual contrast ads can be disputed factually by Huck or McCain. They can't deny the truth of the allegations, but instead they call it an "attack" or "mean-spirited" or "hostile." Poor babies. LOL.

Liberal attacking liberal. Always a good thing.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.
