Huckabee Hints Clear Channel Conspiring With Romney
NewsBusters ^ | Matthew Sheffield

Posted on 02/04/2008 7:25:13 AM PST by RatherBiased.com

Speaking at a news conference in Oklahoma, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee floated the idea that the reason the vast majority of America's conservative talk radio hosts aren't endorsing him or John McCain is because Mitt Romney's investment firm owns a significant share of Clear Channel Communications, the nation's largest radio syndication company.

"Some suggest that the fact that Bain Capital owns a major stake in Clear Channel is on Sean's network, maybe there's a correlation. I don't know."

The Sean he was referring to had to be none other than Sean Hannity, America's number-two talk radio host behind Rush Limbaugh.

Why all the talking heads are saying if Huck bails out Romney gets the votes not McCain... What if Huck bails and shifts his support behind McCain? Then Romney is toast for sure..

Why are we tearing ourselves apart about these candidates anyway not a single one is a Pure Conservative...

and by the way what does Conservative mean anymore I got lost in all the fuss..

“Huckabee’s son, while at Boy Scout camp, caught a stray dog, hung it with a rope, slit its throat with a pocket knife, and stoned it to death? Also, are you a Michael Vick fan too?”

This should have been brought up at one of the debates. After-all, if Huckabee is making such an issue out of being a Evangelical Christian who used to be a Pastor, I think the question should be asked. After-all, it is a reflection of the kind of Fruit that Huckabee has born. As a person who has raised three children, I can tell you this is not normal behavior. None of my children have even come close to displaying such behavior. I think it is a reflection of the parents and how sincere they are.

"Hannity is head over heals in favor of Romney...."

This week he is, as are a lot of people who see the GOP going down the toilet with McCain. But Hannity was one of the first to openly support Giuliani. Funny how Hannity likes the liberal RINOs...

I don’t respect people who reproduce dough-boy sons who slit dog’s throats. It’s kind of unmanly, to put it mildly.

Huckabee also doesn’t know what he’s talking about since Sean Hannity works for ABC Radio, not Clear Channel.

Exactly my point... Hannity and Rush are both in Romney’s camp they just are playing the idiots that fall for their crap...

Bottom line their are no 100 percent true conservatives in the race and none is better or worse then the other... So either support a true conservative or shut up.

"Romney is a baby killer."

Can you cite any specifics about which babies he actually killed? Hey, at one time he may have been pro-choice, but at least he has seen the light and is now pro-life. At least that is acceptable to me, and much better than the other way around. Do you not allow anyone to mend their previous mistakes in judgment?

Please produce a true conservative candidate, or you can shut up!

What you defend Pro-Choicers now.. What kind of Conservative are you? If Romney supported Choice before then I’m sure if he needed to do some liberal pandering he’d do it again... Where exactly are those Morman Family values anyway...

Polygamy explain that one to your daughter.

“Romney is a baby killer.”

You’ve proven yourself to be a damn liar.

Don’t ever ping me or reply to me again. Ever.

I am NOT defending pro-choicers now. I have NEVER supported a pro-choice candidate. Romney is NO LONGER a pro-choicer! What part of that do you not understand? I suspect you are allowing your hatred of Mormons to blind you. Did Jesus not forgive people? Why can’t you? He has changed to pro-life, why can’t you accept that?

No don’t back Romney because he doesn’t meet the true Conservative Credentials... His past is mostly social liberal.... he is at best a moderate like McCAmnesty and Huckster... So we have no nominees in the Republican party... enought said stay home.. Why vote for any Republican that is not 100 percent pure Conservative...

Because Rush or Sean told you one is better then the other?//

Lemming!!

the romney bashers proclaim him the antichrist but produce no acceptable alternative. i have seen that repeatedly. those of us who have come reluctantly to support Mitt as the least egregious alternative, can hardly be called mittwitts, and have obviously thought this through to reach this unfortunate but obvious conclusion. i find these people insulting.

The reason they’re not supporting you is because you are a self righteous, hypocritical, dishonest, smarmy caricature of decent man.

Everything after the word “about” is not needed.
