Ed Rollins: My New Hero
MrArbitrage

Posted on 01/03/2008 7:26:17 PM PST by MrArbitrage123

Ed Rollins is my new hero. It was nice to see him turn the tables on Chris Wallace and put that pompous man in his place.

The treatment Fox News and "conservative" celebrities like Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham & Sean Hannity have given to Mike Huckabee is deserving of shame and infamy. Britt Hume is the one who truly disappoints me. I truly thought he would be above joining in the subtle mockery, condescension and propagation of distorted “facts” on this honorable man.

Frankly, I would not at all be surprised if this so-called “blogger” whom Chris Wall claims “overheard” him in a diner talking about Giuliani was nothing other than a free-lance reporter bought and paid for by the news media or a private investigator paid for by a desperate candidate. That is more likely the REAL story. I float my conjecture, “YOU DECIDE”.

Let's reflect as a nation about WHO may have been the real impetus for this SLEAZY tactic. The establishment media pundits have insulted our intelligence from the moment Huckabee climbed to the top of the polls.

The slogan of “we report, you decide” has been undermined beyond repair. Fox News has stooped to using all of the underhanded tactics perfected by the left-wing media to bring down Mike Huckabee to the point they have sounded more juvenile than a convention of playground bullys.

I fully expect to bombard us with talking points to palliate the magnitude of this decisive victory over the next week. I fully expect for them to spend the next few weeks looking for ways to distort the record of Mike Huckabee. I fully expect them to spend the next few weeks to carefully assassinate the character and question the MOTIVES of Governor Mike Huckabee. I expect them to sum this up as only being a victory for "the Christian right".

To that end I say as I said before on my youtube blogs under the pseudynom “DrArbitrage”, the more they insult our intelligence with this nonsense, the more people will look at Huckabee themselves and see that the slander and libel don't ring true. The TRUTH will win.

I am offended and will never view this network in the same light. I don't think Fox understands the number of viewers they have deeply offended. Fox News is biting the hand that feeds it. Do they think that they made it to the top of cable news because they TAUGHT US what to think? Roger Ailes needs to make some serious changes to these panels.

I am deeply disappointed in them and I cling to the hope that if the venerable Tony Snow were still there that he would not have resorted to the despicable character assassination we have witnessed.

The people are speaking. Let's continue to make history.

Amen.

The conservative establishment and many here on FR are missing the story. There’s a force moving and many conservatives are behind the curve — including Rush.

This force is not fitting the personal views of many conservatives. We’ll see how it all plays out, but the know it alls probably have a lot of frustrating days ahead.

I just hope Iowa doesn’t reflect the rest of the nation. If it does, we’re screwed.

Yep.

"I am close to someone who knows Bush & Rove and can tell you that - despite the media trying to cast Huck as a Bush basher, Bush AND Rove are pulling for Huck."

Something smells like crap. Oh, it is what you are shoveling. GW and Rove are not pulling for Huck. You make an assertion like that, you had better be willing to name your source and back it up with proof.

I agree with you about Rollins but I would take any current Republican candidate _except for Dr. Paul who is the logical Libertarian extreme - over any of the potential crop of Dims.

So Rollins works for Perot and we end up with Clinton. Twice. Huck is from Hope Ark.

Just too many coincidences there...

I neither know nor care anything about Mr. Rollins, but Huckabee is not an honorable man.

Don't forget to including El Rushbo in your comments. He apparently thought he could snuff out Huckabee by attacking him and may be finding that he really is out of touch with the grassroots.

Of course, Rush has even lowered himself to casting Iowa Republicans that participated in the caucus as extremists to try and diminish Huckabee's victory.

Are you prepared for Mike Huckabee to lose the primaries?

Are you prepared for the possibility that he may win the Republican nomination?

Who is going to beat him? Flip Romney who is fading fast? "Maverick" backstabber John McCain? Gun-grabbing, pro-abortion adulterer Rudy Giuliani?

Remember, Pat Robertson won here in 1988, so what does that tell you?

Um, Robertson finished second in Iowa in 1988...Nor did he ever hold elected office, let alone serve as governor of a state.

The reality is that no Republican nominee in the past 40 years has won the nomination without winning Iowa or New Hampshire or both. I doubt that changes this year.

So now someone who goes around saying he wants to knock Romney’s teeth out is a “hero” to Republicans.

But, Rollins was speaking figuratively, much as Willard was when he claimed to he "saw" his father marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in his own mind.

Having a strong economy and a good environment for business is how you help workers

Wouldn't Huckabee's fair tax plan accomplish that?

Huckabee is a fraud and a socialist.

A few weeks ago, Hugh Hewitt had a sage observation. If Huckabee gets the nod, the GOP will lose all 50 states in the national election.

You mean the same sellout that encouraged conservatives to support Harriet Miers and supports Willard Romney, who was named the #8 RINO in the country by Human Events magazine in 2005?

Rollins and The Huckster cooked up the scheme to make a smear ad, then dishonestly act like they were killing it, while getting it free air time. That is dishonest, immoral,and corrupt. If that’s what the GOP wants in its nominee, that is distressing.

Also distressing is seeing so many conservatives rallying around a big spending, high taxing, pro-amnesty food fascist liberal RINO like The Huckster.

Iowa means crap. Just ask President Howard Dean or President Pat Robertson.

Fred was my first choice. But, there comes a time when one must face reality and admit he has next to no chance of winning the nomination.
