My fellow Ruckuser James Joyner at Outside the Beltway has posted a new video from the presidential campaign of John McCain called “Trust Huckabee.” As he notes, the quotes are “presumably out of context,” but it still makes for an effective “in my opponents words” statement about McCain.
It looks like the McCain folks are taking their innate ability to use Mitt Romney’s words against him and applying that craft to Huckabee — albeit to deliver a more positive message.
McCain O8′ !!!!!
Brilliant Ad by the McCain campaign. Can’t deny that those things were said by Huckabee? How are South Carolinians taking to all the negative campaign issues going on during this Primary election? Just wondering?
Love the video Huck has never spoke truer words nor have they sounded sweeter. McCain must have hired him for promotional purposes I wonder if Huck threw Chuck and Rick Flair in for free.
Huckabee is dead wrong!! McCain is ANTI-American Sovereignty; ANTI- American Industry; and ANTI-American Economy. McCain is not a “Maverick”; he is a socialist Democrap in disguise, a RINO candidate if there ever was one.
Examples of his assaults on Americans:
McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.
McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.
McCain-Lieberman — the most burdensome and intrusive attack on American industry in American history — involved mandated reporting, regulating, and taxing of greenhouse gas emissions.
McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the ruse of a patients’ bill of rights.
McCain – Re-importation of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety.
And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 & 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialistic, class-warfare rhetoric against tax cuts. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.
As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.
McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees.
McCain was never a friend to conservative values. Huckabee’s comments won’t cause anyone to think that he has changed? Makes you wonder about Huckabee though.
What Huckabee thought, and thinks, is that John McCain is the best candidate for the office of the presidency. I heard him with my own ears at the first primary debate, say “If I werent trying to win this nomination, I’d Vote for John McCain.” Its recorded, if you dont believe me, find it in the archives of the first fox primary debate held in Durham NH. I was in the second row, there was no mistaking who Huckabee knew to be the best man on the stage was to be commander in chief. Mike repeatedly shelled out compliments to John McCain. I thought he was making his bid for a shot at the Vice Presidency right then and there. THATS what Huckabee is thinking. And I agree.
He WOULD make a great running mate to John McCain.
