I Just Beat Up Chuck Norris...

Not really, but that was fun to say. Walker Texas Ranger posted an article on Townhall.com crying about Mitt Romney's bank account. It's truly a hilarious article Read it here. It is yet another reminder why Hollywood (even the B-listers like Chuck) have no business telling us who to vote for. I understand that they are private citizens and have the right to their opinions, but they would be best suited to leave the intellectual heavy lifting to others. I responded back to Chuck with this...

Sour grapes. Chuck, you can’t on one hand talk about how McCain-Feingold trampled the first amendment and then on the other ask legislators to come in and change disclosure laws. Yes, Mitt Romney has vastly outspent your candidate's campaign in terms of spending his own personal wealth. He has also greatly out-fundraised your candidate- and everybody else for that matter. If the shoe was on the other foot and Mike Huckabee had the large bank account, you would not be spouting this drivel. You talk about 527 groups and the $2,300 limitation on direct campaign contributions. If you are so convinced that your candidate is the man for the job, I suggest that you find a 527 group for Huckabee and contribute. Again, we have Senator McCain and Russ Feingold to thank for our current campaign contribution policy, not Mitt Romney. If it turns out that Huckabee’s spoiler campaign for John McCain works out, Maybe Mike can ask John to change the law.

In any case, Mitt Romney is setting himself apart on the issues. His successful experience in the business world is an indicator that he will be an excellent President. As you know, Huckabee has come out with the trite slogan, “I want to be the President who reminds you of the guy you work with, not the guy who laid you off.” This populist, class warfare idiocy sounds like it came straight from the mouth of any of the Democrat candidates. The American people are realizing that a Huckabee presidency would be like electing a pro-life Jimmy Carter. Huckabee is political cotton candy. It may taste good, but it does nothing for you. We need a man in office who has been in the private sector and knows how to get the economy working for us again. Huckabee is sorely lacking in this department.

Mitt Romney has made a successful career of turning businesses around and helping companies succeed. That’s why the business world is so solidly behind his candidacy. With the establishment of the office supply store, Staples, Romney helped to create over 80,000 jobs. He brought Domino’s pizza back from bankruptcy. Let’s ask these people if they’d rather have a candidate who reminded them of who they work with…

With regard to the repeated references to layoffs by Mitt Romney, Huckabee has said in no uncertain terms that Romney himself has benefitted by laying off employees of the companies he represents. I have an experiment for you Chuck. You’re a successful guy and you have the resources to try it out. Go out and start a company today. Hire a bunch of people to work for you, and then lay every one of them off tomorrow. Let’s see how rich you get. Of course, this is an oversimplification, but it goes to highlight that Mike Huckabee does not understand business. If a company has 100 employees and is failing, does it make sense to let the company die, or to cut back on SOME of the labor so that everyone doesn’t lose their jobs? Personally, I like option two. At least the company would have the potential to re-hire if the business turned around.

Mike’s class warfare argument will hold no water with true conservatives. Huckabee's campaign is flagging badly under the weight of a message that is ill-suited to the Republican party. This is not the fault of Mitt Romney. To put it in terms Huckabee will understand, Luke 6: 41-42 says, “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.”

Mike Huckabee would be a disaster as President. The American people see it and are beginning to coalesce around the true conservative, Mitt Romney.

When a number of us be on the lookout at going to be the events at Virginia Tech all around the April 16, 2007,we he has to question what a role,if any,has been doing racial bias play throughout the Seung Hui Cho's criminal actions? He claimed in your his heroes and writings to understand more about have been taunted and teased judging by his fellow workers Was this attributed to understand more about his ethnicity? Could negative stereotypes to do with Asians have influenced what's Cho was treated based on his co-workers,and may or may not element have been an all in one factor on the one reason why she or he was and thus purchased and withdrawn. Sometimes,as an example described prejudice can play an all in one very large side all over the how do you a guy or gal acts all around the social situations. With these negative stereotypes everywhere over the going to be the in the recent past cd eye - port and in your American media,may not also this have instilled upon Cho an all in one feeling regarding hopelessness and helplessness,a multi functional feeling that despite his talented efforts he or she is always that the at no time fit everywhere in the Combine that allowing you to have going to be the substantially accepted abusive attitudes that often be for additional details on permeate American states today and all your family have an all in one an undeniable fact disaster brewing.
