Huckabee: Romney 'dishonest'
By Grant Swank
"'I knew [Romney] was being dishonest with my record. And I realized now he is being dishonest with McCain's. He is being dishonest with Giuliani's,'" Mike Huckabee said per TIME's Michael Sherer.
Romney's also been dishonest with the rest of us. He claims to be pro-life but actually slides the issue to the states, concluding they can do with the issue what they want.
He claims he's not pro-homosexual practice but once again slides the issue to the states, concluding they can do with the issue what they want.
A true pro-lifer sees killing womb babies as murder — federal or state level.
A true moralist sees sodomy as wrong — federal or state level.
In other words, slippery Romney does what Romney wants in the moment — situation ethics in political context. It's known as opportunism — a worn game when wanting to get a home run while cheating. Ask those caught in the sports arena when caught with pump-up drugs in their bodies.
Anyhow, Huckabee listened to Romney plow into MCain and it got under Huckabee's skin. The same when Romney went after Giuliani. Then of course when Romney went after Huckabee himself.
In other words, Romney had set up his own dishonest machine to plow under all contenders and Huckabee did not like it, so he said so:
"Washington Post: Was there a moment in the last couple days when you thought, we can't keep letting [Romney] attack us, without responding?
"Yeah there was. I can tell you exactly when it was. When we saw the attacks on McCain in New Hampshire, I just said you know this is getting out of hand. I am kind of sensitive about that, and I know it may sound silly. I don't mind contrasting, my views and McCain's views. I think that is fine.
"TIME: You are sensitive about what?
"I just think to attack John McCain-who I just respect as a very decent human being and an honorable American hero — I just think he deserves more respect than that.
"You know, if you think through the campaign, you don't see Giuliani coming after me, and hitting me. I have watched him on television. People are putting the bait in front of him. He doesn't take it.
"Same thing with McCain. He is thrown the bait all the time. He rises above it.
"I just felt like the attacks we were getting, both by Club for Growth and by Romney, the mail pieces, and then the last straw for me was seeing the ads that he ran on McCain.
"I saw them [Friday]. And I just said, 'You know, this is just not right.' He's not telling us why he should be president. He is just beating up every other person on the stage."
Money fellow Romney thinks he can do that and get by with it. Huckabee exposes Romney's rich boy's game and the world had better take note.
If Romney gets to Pennsylvania Avenue, there will be more of it — dishonesty in wealthy fellow's cloth.
