'Huckabee Proves a Potent Ally for Conservative Candidates' @GovMikeHuckabee #Huck12

Huckabee Proves a Potent Ally for Conservative Candidates
 

By Scott Conroy - August 13, 2010

 
Is it possible that an Iowa Caucus winner who currently hosts two prominent television shows and a nationally syndicated radio program is flying under the radar?
For a politician who carried eight states in the 2008 Republican primaries and has the top-rated weekend cable news show, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee still has an uncanny ability to sneak up on people.
Though Sarah Palin's primary endorsements have been highlighted and analyzed to no end, Tuesday's closely watched gubernatorial runoff in Georgia served as a reminder that Huckabee can make his mark on 2010 races, too.
In Georgia, Huckabee held off on endorsing Rep. Nathan Deal until just five days before the election, which Deal won by fewer than 2,500 votes over the Palin-backed candidate, Karen Handel.
In a margin so tight, Huckabee's Sunday rally with Deal and the phone banking his political action committee conducted in Georgia may have been just enough to put Deal over the edge. Reached by email on Wednesday, Huckabee alluded to the impact his visit seems to have made.
"Check the poll numbers before I went and compare them to the election," Huckabee wrote in an email to RealClearPolitics. "You can draw your own conclusions."
Polls taken just before Huckabee's visit showed the two candidates either in a statistical tie or with Handel maintaining a slight lead.
HuckPAC executive director Hogan Gidley pointed to the approximately 1,000 calls that Huck PAC made to voters in suburban Gwinnett County, which was considered part of Handel's home turf, but where Deal ended up winning by 740 votes.
"We do a lot of the things that fly under the D.C. radar like robocalls, get-out-the-vote messages, e-blasts, and things like that," Gidley said. "And while they're not something that excites members on the press, the people on the ground who receive the votes and the benefits of the governor's trust do ...

...Indeed, perhaps his most unexpected 2010 endorsement to date came when he followed Palin in lending his support to longshot candidate Joe Miller in his race to unseat Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.
In a nod to the idiosyncrasies of Alaska Republican politics and Palin's declining popularity in her home state, it is Huckabee's image and endorsement text, not Palin's, which greets visitors on the home page of Miller's campaign web site. Palin's name is not even listed among the four prominent conservatives whom Miller touts on the top of his campaign site for having backed him.
If Miller were able to pull off a shocking upset in the Aug. 24 primary, he may well have Huckabee to thank even more heartily than his fellow Alaskan.

Joe Miller has won his primary bid in Alaska and Governor Huckabee and his army of activist supporters helped push Joe to victory by an approximate 1,700 votes. Join the Legions of Hucks Army by going to http://teamhuck.ning.com and then find your State site too~

WHAT'S HAPPENING
 Why the FairTax Prebate? OUCH!
THEY GOT ME!

WARNING!

DANGER AHEAD!

JAN. 1, 2011

YOU'LL BE

AMAZED AND ANGRY!

DO WE WANT THIS

SURPRISE?  A TAX TSUNAMI!

One feature of a tsunami is that many times no one saw it coming.  Well here's the preparation, the warning if you will, on Jan 1, 2011 a tax tsunami will hit Michigan and the U.S.A. This combination of tax increases will cause the average family budget to be destroyed. I invite you to view the tsunami's makeup so you can plan ahead. I know one thing; my budget can not afford this onslaught. The price of everything I buy is going up big time. My disposable income will be slashed by inflated prices, and my standard of living is going down. Big government is on its way to becoming huge government, and We The People have no one to blame but ourselves. If we can not muster the courage and fortitude to demand a FairTax and vote out of office incumbents who rob and pillage the treasury for their own gain, then we deserve exactly what we will get, the reality of being financial slaves to a government that is out of control.

FAIR TAX FACTS
WHAT DOES A 4.35% RAISE LOOK LIKE?
With the elimination of the Michigan Personal Income Tax, workers, as provided in the MI FairTax Proposal, could look forward to take home pay that would be up to 4.35% greater than is taken home today. This chart illustrates what that 4.35% pay increase would look like for various hourly pay rates. To place this in another prospective, if all people worked for a minimum wage, their 4.35% weekly increase of $12.91 times the 2009 estimated 3,925,089 Michigan households, would equal a weekly stimulus to the Michigan economy of $51 million, $203 million a month, or $2.6 billion a year. Wouldn't you really rather have a MI FairTax?

OUT AND ABOUT
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
One of the oldest military strategies in the world is with us again in 2010. Many political parties disquised as PACs and Special Interest Groups will spend millions of dollars this election season to derail and destroy the growing FairTax movement. Their commitment of massive resources is testament that the political elite in Michigan and the United States are running scared of FairTax proposals. Fear drives them to defend their grip on power, to confuse and cause doubt about the FairTax issue on both a state and federal level. Their advertising statements seem straight forward enough; "Candidate X wants to increase your state taxes 62%, or supports a new tax on the federal level of 23%.Neither statement is true is these advertisements labeled by Fact Check.org are misleading, fail to say anything about the many taxes eliminated, and that all wage earners would take home their full paycheck. When was the last time everyone who made $20 dollars took home $20 dollars?  Why would political leadership and special interests resort to such a tactic? The answer is simple; a FairTax takes away power from the political elite, and returns that power to the electorate. The FairTax: the greatest shift of power from the government to the people since the founding of our country. Do we have the resolve to move Michigan and the United States forward?   The question will be; did voters allow those running for office to divide and conquer, or did voters stand shoulder to shoulder against those trying to tax freedom to death. The battle is money against votes, and votes always win!

Did You Know?

The prebate represents the significant difference that today's consumption tax (FairTax) proposal has over previous attempts to implement such a tax.
This version, the FairTax, would totally untax every legal resident against having to pay tax on the necessities of life.  Bringing back the idea of Constitutional fairness and equality for all, a right our forefathers fought so bravely to obtain. The prebate guarantees that no Michigan resident would be taxed below the poverty level. The FairTax is about equality for all - and JOBS too!
