McCain, Huckabee tied in S.C., poll says

I'm glad to hear that Mike Huckabee is doing well in the South Carolina polls. He's a great candidate and also a really great man. He also had a great record as Governor in Arkansas which got him named one of the nations 5 best Governors. There have been some who have spent millions of dollars on a negative propaganda campaign to lead people to believe otherwise as a means of defeating his candidacy. If you have any concerns about any of the accusations made in these negative ads I urge you to go to his website asap and resolve your questions one way or another. The upcoming vote in South Carolina is probably going to be THE most important in the whole primary season. You owe it to yourself and to your country to know the facts and to vote with your eyes open.

Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, the Republicans should focus on the fight in November.

Fred's message has been allowed to be heard through the MSM agenda machine.

He's the only honest candidate that can win the election as he's the only one that can withstand their attacks.

Of course, that means the more you know about the others only cements that truth;

Huck's FairTax makes the difference. Its benefits are irrefutable and its detractors are now being rebutted.

Huckabee is a joke. What's his plan for tuning America around? Raise taxes, give amnesty to illegals, pardon criminals, and wave his Bible around? He is a flagrant embarassment to the republican party. He doesn't have a chance of getting the nomination, much less defeat a democrat in a national election.
What's going to happen in S.C. is this: Either McCain or Huck will win. Romney will do well (second or third) and big Fred will come in forth. Then Fred will drop out and maybe even endorse Mitt. Then MItt will sail into Florida and get decisive win, prepping him for a massive victory on super Tuesday. Furthermore, the bad economic news that's coming out is going to assure that Mitt will be the next president. None of the other bozo's running have ever managed anything. McCain is a tired, grumpy old "go-with-the-flow" Washington beaurocrat

We vote for Mike Huckabee. This is a man of honor and integrity. We have not had a candidate this good run in a very long time.

We like Mike

Roots of Romney’s “lazy boy” Religion:

MORMONS: [The Encyclopedia Britannica, Thirteenth Edition, London, vol. 18, pp. 842-843, 1926]… a religious sect founded by Joseph Smith… born… December 1805 at Sharon… Vermont, from which place… his parents, who like his grandparents were superstitious, neurotic, seers of visions, and believers in miraculous cures and in heavenly voices and direct revelation, removed to New York, where they settled on a small farm… Joseph, a good natured, lazy boy, suffering from a bad heredity physically and psychically, began to have visions which seem to have accompanied epileptoid seizures… from which he recovered apparently before he became of age. The boy’s father was a digger for hidden treasure… the son became a crystal gazer and by the use of a “peep-stone” discovered the whereabouts of pretended hidden treasure…. It was not until the 22nd of September of 1827 that (as he said) he dug up, on the hill near Manchester, a stone box, in which was a volume… made of thin gold plates… and fastened together by three gold rings. The plates were covered with small writing [supposedly of the reformed Egyptian tongue]… with the golden book Smith claimed that he found a breastplate of gold and a pair of supernatural spectacles, consisting of two crystals set in a silver bow, and called “Urim and Thummin”; by aid of these the mystic characters could be read.

We love Mike as well! This is a Godly man with a servants' heart. He is not establishment minded, but is concerned for the working American. I've not seen such a humble candidate for as long as I can remember. Huck and McCain would make a great team.

Fred is a nice guy and would be a good VP- but he is only running for President when the cameras are rolling...he is a "sunshine soldier" when it comes to campaigning...the other others..Like Huckabee have braved the harsh cold and harsh emdia of the north and deserve the win...it has been hard fought and not handed to him based on previous media popularity like Thompson. It is too bad that Huckabee and Ron Paul aren't given more fair air time- I like them both.

Mike Huckabee is what America needs; a honest cantidate who grew up working class, supports family values, the right to life, and 2nd ammendment rights. As governor of Arkansas he improved infastructue and education while shifting a tax burden closer to the fair tax (national sales tax, combined with the abolition of the IRS) which he suports. Vote for a true American. MIke Huckabee

The game being played in Washington is to hold the fed funds rate high so that the politicians can be kind and benevolent to the "little people". The stimulus package is one of increasing my share of the deficit by $700 in order to give me $600 of my money back. Huck, as an outsider, is being battled at every turn. His support of the FairTax is what gets him in trouble with the "old money crowd". Huck can win the support of democrats. He can win in November. His record is excellent. The lies being told about him are easily refuted. Yes, his base is the evangelical south but his economic policies would result in fairness and an economic boom.

in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963;
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after; and,
3. Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later, by coincidence.

On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with alm ost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day --- everyday.)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants.

That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas.

According to a Dallas Morning News article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child.

She is also an illegal immigrant.

By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay.

OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital, they do. Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics.

NINE!

The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child --- her previous two was also born at Parkland. Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost ...

$200 to have them in Mexico.

This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)

How long has this been going on? What are the long-term affects?

Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the US illegally. Now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right, she's technically a U.S. citizen.)

These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, dia p ers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification or any proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income. An illegal immigrant needs only to claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.

Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who earn less than $40,000 per year (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the 'free' care is not so easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who re ceived roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County so the hospital is going to sue them!

Illegals get it all free! But U.S. citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?

As if that isn't annoying enough ...

Illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish.

In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern, for whic h Parkland Hospital is the training facility, will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.

(Sorry for the length, but I think this needs wide circulation, particularly to our 'employees' in Congress.)

Remember that this is only ONE hospital in Dallas , Texas. There must be many more hospitals across our country that also have to deal with this.

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY U.S. CITIZEN YOU KNOW.

Mike is a man who is deeply conservative and as has said himself that not only is his faith important, it is what defines who he is. Huckabee is the only candidate that is truly genuine about his faith. Democrats wear their faith on their sleeve when over and over again, polls have indicated that Americans want a President that is religious. At the same time it seems impossible to believe the way that the democrats do and get Christian votes so maybe they are wise to rarely mention God. Huck is clearly the man for the job! On the Democratic side it would be terrible if Hillary Clinton were the nominee. If this took place I would like to ask her" how does it feel to have ridden your husband’s coat tails to where you are now? I am a person that is proud to be a Christian conservative and like Mike Huckabee, I also do not apologize for it and am unashamedly pro-life. Christians and all Huckabee followers, we need to pray Mike Huckabee into the White House so that we are not lead by someone who does not know God!

Huckabee 2008’

Huckabee can't win against a Democrat in the general election because he greatly offends moderate voters.

The sad part is that religious conservatives don't see that Huckabee is splitting the conservative vote and making it possible for McCain to win.

Think about it. The majority of voters will vote against McCain and yet because the conservative vote is split, McCain could win.

Huckabee should never be in this race because he knows that nobody but the Christian Right will vote for him. Look what happened in Michigan and New Hampshire.

Huckabee serves only to split the conservative vote.

Vote Fred Thompson!
