Huckabee's Rollins Trashes Rush Instead of Debating Conservatism
Posted on 01/02/2008 12:08:43 PM PST by Dane
Watching Fox news and the lead at 3:00 PM EST, was a rant by Shepherd and Carl, saying how Iowa doesn't matter, as Roger Ailes and Fox News spent millions covering it.
I guess Roger & Co, at Fox will not like the results(Huckabee and Obama winning and getting momentum).
Roger Ailes and his friend Rush Limbaugh, are not amused, thus this little hissy fit.
“It’s looking more and more as though Rush and Fox are testing their ability to sway conservatives. For what unknown reason, I can’t imagine.”
Rush does not want a liberal like huckster winning anything. It is all about electing a CONSERVATIVE... not some liberal preacher deceiving people about who and what he really is!

If Iowa doesn't matter, I'm certainly putting myself through a lot of unnecessary work.
Iowa matters to the extent that the media says it matters.
It gets headlines and name recognition.
Neil Cavuto and Frank Luntz pushing the Rush/Roger Ailes point that Iowa doesn't matter, yada, yada, yada.
LOL! This after Fox News spends millions covering Iowa.
Again, the powers at Fox News must not be amused, because they couldn't affect the results.
I will say one thing about Neil Cavuto though, it looked like he was choking at swallowing the Rush/Roger Ailes memo/talking points, unlike Carl Cameron and Sheperd Smith.

One man - one vote!
Oh, that’s right. They don’t do it that way in Iowa.
Never mind.
The one thing that has really disappointed me is that I thought Fox was truly going to be an independent voice, but they definitely have their candidate in the race and Hannity’s been cheering for him as hard as he can ...
By the way, I am not delusional
Oh, that’s right. They don’t do it that way in Iowa.
Never mind.
Huh, I surmise you are against states rights.
No, Kerry took it. That was the place of the big Dean scream.
During the amnesty hoopla the same characters were slamming Rush then.
I only heard bits and pieces of Rush today, but I didn't hear Rush say that Huckabee admitted to the attack. All I heard was Rush saying that he had received an e-mail from Huckabee that he didn't answer because he didn't want Huckabee to spin that Rush had accepted his apology and move on...
I'm not interested in voting for Huckabee (or most of the rest of them even if Hillary is the Democrat nominee.) I suspect that Huckabee is an outsider that is causing the GOP establishment a problem and all this is a ploy to hopefully dispose of him so they can get on to Giuliani, Romney, McCain, one of their own.
Romney needs to be in the top two in Iowa and win in New Hampshire.
If things don't work out well for them, then they are going to need to pick up endorsement from the candidates that drop out.
Fred needs a good showing, followed by a inrush of campaign donations to keep his campaign running. He needs to keep in the running, and hope either Huck or Romney stumbles quickly, otherwise he's going to have a hard time getting enough people that think he has a chance so they will consider voting for him.
I believe Huckabee will win by a decent margin.
That is a true statement, but does not go far enough.
The point is that the "expectations" will be whatever the Clintonites and their minion media state that it is. Therefore, beating expectations is a given.
Period. Reality has NOTHING to do with it.
Clearly you don’t understand Rush at all.
Rush does not toe the GOP party line - he would be the last person to “carry the water” for any candidate in a primary.
That would be Duncan Hunter.
If you do, you surmise wrong.
What about the King, Rupert Murdoch and chosen candidate Hillary Clinton?
