In what could be a devastating blow to the Huckabee campaign, Mitt Romney has discovered something that proves that Mike Huckabee just doesn’t hate Hispanics enough. Not hating Hispanics, I believe, can get you disqualified from running for GOP nominations. At least, that’s how they seem to showcase it.
From Boston.com
Overtaken by Mike Huckabee in the Iowa polls despite vastly outspending him, Mitt Romney is launching today the first side-by-side contrast television ad in the state’s GOP presidential campaign, a spot that directly criticizes Huckabee’s record on illegal immigration.
The ad features stark piano music, photos of Romney and Huckabee, and a voiceover calling them “two former governors, two good family men, both pro-life, both support a constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage.”
Then the message shifts.
“The difference?” the announcer asks.
As Massachusetts governor, Romney had vetoed in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants and opposed giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses, the ad says.
It says Huckabee, on the other hand, supported giving in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants and making children of illegal immigrants eligible for merit scholarships while he was governor of Arkansas.
“On immigration, the choice matters,” the announcer in the ad says.
Dear Gov. Huckabee,
You have to feel the HATE! Just letting serial rapists out to kill and murder again, because their victims might have known a Clinton, isn’t going to pass the litmus test for the GOP nomination. Go get a pointy headed sheet out of Mitt Romney’s linen closet, and lynch somebody already. You can’t get the Newt Gingrich GOP Hate Speech Decoder Ring(TM) without it.
Thanks,
Republican Delegates
I can’t believe what I am hearing from Huckabee supporters. Cute Christmas cards are supposed to prevent the coming recession?
SCARY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY #26:
Huckabee and Guiliani have nothing for the economy compared with Romney’s business and economic acumen. Will you still be complaining about Romney’s faith when they lay you off and foreclose your home? Get real, and don’t get me started about Huckabee as a foreign policy disaster. Huckabee and Ahmadinejad sitting across at a table???? That’s classic, what a nightmare.
Take all of the t-shirts mocking Bush you see at the mall and insert Huckabee’s face. That’s what college kids may be wearing until 2012. Bush haters are going to FEAST on Huckabee, what a goober…there’s a good image for the Republican stigma. Are you kidding me??
Why don’t we all vote for an inferior candidate merely because he’s not LDS. Evangelicals are going to ruin this nation.
