S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley isn’t the only establishment Republican cozying up to fiscally liberal, anti-free market, anti-liberty U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham …
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee – who claims he is waiting on Jesus to tell him whether he should run for president – taped a special interest advertisement on Graham’s behalf that began airing in the Palmetto State last month. In the ad, Huckabee proclaims Graham to be a “conservative champion of peace through strength.”
Um … really? Last time we checked Graham was a global interventionist looking to hop in bed with the same people who knocked down the Twin Towers.
Oh well … one man’s jihadist is another man’s freedom fighter, right?
Anyway, like Haley before him, Huckabee is clearly aiming to give Graham an electoral boost – one the embattled Senator desperately needs, according to recent polling.
Yet like Haley, Huckabee is adamant that he is not endorsing Graham.
“To be clear, I haven’t endorsed Lindsey Graham for Senate. Last year, I voiced an ad thanking him for support of Israel. It was not an endorsement for his reelection,” Huckabee said in a statement released this week. “In fact, I don’t plan to endorse anyone in SC Senate race in the primary but I will certainly help in the general election if asked.”
Huckabee goes on to say that “Senator Graham’s people are using the ‘Thank you’ ad and treating it like an endorsement, but neither the PAC nor I personally have endorsed in the South Carolina Senate race.”
Mmmmm-kay …
Here’s the thing: If you plaster your face all over people’s television sets kissing another politician squarely in the ass (something Graham no doubt enjoyed), don’t come around the next day saying you’re not endorsing him.

There continues to be lots of “confusion” in the Republican Party. That’s what happens when you lack a set of core beliefs and principles.
This ad plays throughout the day on conservative talk radio here in SC. You can’t interpret it as anything but an endorsement. Haley needs to back off her love fest with Linda, as well. It’s going to get reeaaallly interesting!!
Haley is ok as Gov. Not ok as a Senator. That means she should ‘finish’ out her 2nd term and hope for a cabinet position. She’s going down the same road. No more window dressing.
this article is stupid
Huckabee put out a news release saying he did NOT authoraize Graham to use it as an endorsement
I don’t care much for Huck either, but he did not ‘plaster his face all over’ (as if that would help???) - Grhama did, without Hucks permission, and Huck just called him on it, which will be very bad for Graham.
Globalist Graham is not too crazy about the constitution...everyone is a terrorist until proven otherwise, except for his own special self, of course, and the Muslims. He hates the Tea Party and has not lifted a finger to go after the IRS.
Please God! I pray we unload Lindsay. McBackstabber will be lonely, but they can be long distant globetrotters for the International banksters and Muslim Brotherhood club.
I hope Jesus tells Huck no. :-)
I follow Haley on her facebook page aside from being a Miami Heat fan she seems ok to me. She did a good job of taking on Boeing something a lot o republicans perhaps would have shied away from.
Huckabee: Those endless Lindsey Graham TV commercials are NOT endorsements (yeah, right!)...
What in hell is she thinking????
Of course the ad was an endorsement of Lindsay Graham! Huckabee's backtracking news release was a desperate attempt to quell the firestorm of Conservative backlash, especially in South Carolina.
Oh, they have a core belief...in getting re-elected. :)
