Goodbye Mitt Romney, Goodbye Nice Hair
MITT Romeny - nice hair, like John Edwards - but: “If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,” Romney will say at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
“This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters… many of you right here in this room… have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country,” Romney said.

Republicans Get Dirty: Ron Paul Troops, Giliani Minces (His Words), Romney And Huckabee Pose
THE Republican contest in Iowa has gotten dirty.
With just weeks to the Iowa Caucuses on January 3, Mitt Romney’s campaign has launched a low blow against Mike Huckabee’s stance on immigration.
Could these tactics have anything to do with the fact that Romney has fallen behind the cherubic wonder preacher Huckabee in recent Iowa polls?
John McCain’s camp said the ad was an insult to Iowa voters. And as if by magic, pro Huckabee ads have popped up touting his hard-line on immigration.
Don’t you just love that message at the end - “Authentic Conservative” - as though Huckabee’s rivals are just cheap, Chinese-made, knock-off conservatives. (Though that might go some way to explaining Fred Thompson’s failure to live up to expectations.)
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani’s team are facing questions over their candidate’s stance on homosexuality. It appears the former mayor of New York thinks homosexuality itself isn’t sinful, it’s just homosexual acts that are a one-way ticket to hell.
And Ron Paul’s supporters are convinced that the boos their candidate suffered during a recent debate were a set up by the Giuliani campaign.
Are the conspiracy theorists right? Or is it possible that saying you want to bring the troops home is not the best way of appealing to a room full of Republicans?

Christian Charity: ‘Muslim’ Barack Obama V Mormon Mitt Romney And Gaia Hilary Clinton
WHILE Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is busy defending his Mormon faith, a much dirtier religious battle is being waged in the Democratic party.
It started with a series of chain emails a few months back accusing Barack Obama (middle name “Hussein”) of being a closet Muslim and of being part of a Muslim conspiracy to take over America.
Now, one of Hillary Clinton’s staffers has been caught forwarding the email.
The full email is at the bottom of this post, but here’s an excerpt:
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs) Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!! Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!
The Clinton staffer incident is just the latest in the ugly rumor’s short life.
Last week, all manner of “Obama is Muslim” rumors made the front page of the Washington Post, prompting Columbia Journalism Review to take the newspaper to task for repeating unsubstantiated slurs without categorically stating they were untrue.
And make no mistake, in the minds of many people, these rumors are very true. Here are acouple of Hillary supporters who are convinced Obama is Muslim. And back in mid-October, Politico.com warned that:
[...]“barack obama muslim” is the third most popular Google search for the presidential candidate’s name, behind “barack obama” and “barack obama biography,” according to Google Suggest, which tracks the frequency of word searches.
[And]…a CBS News poll in August found that, in response to an open-ended question about Obama’s faith, 7 percent of Americans identified him as a Muslim — more than any other response. The right answer, Protestant, was second at 6 percent. (Most didn’t know or wouldn’t say.)
Here’s the email in full, published on Politico.com:

*Subject:* **Who is Barack Obama?**
*_Most_* of this appears to be true! *I shutter to
think!! *Scary guy!
**We checked this out on ’snopes.com’. It is factual.
Check for yourself. ***

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward
this to all your contacts…this is very scary to think of what lies
ahead of us here in our own United States…better heed this and
pray
about it and share it.
THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY WAS
FOUNDED, ‘ONE NATION UNDER GOD’. ALMIGHTY GOD, NOT THE GOD OF THE
KORAN.
We checked this out on ’snopes.com’. It is factual.
Check for yourself.
Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein
Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama,
Sr., a
black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white
ATHEIST
from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii . When
Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father
returned to
Kenya . His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from
Indonesia . When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to
Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also
spent
two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a
Muslim. He is quick to point out that, ‘He was once a Muslim,
but that
he also attended Catholic school.’
Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it
appear that Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father,
and that
this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama
returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any
direct influence over his son’s education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann
Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam Obama was enrolled in a
Wahabi
school in Jakarta .
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the
Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western
world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking
major
public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has
joined the
United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background.
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT
use the
Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our
Bible, but
very different beliefs)
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected
presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S.
from the inside out, what better way to start than at the
highest level
- through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this
man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!

Rudy Giuliani Beats Mike Huckabee And Mitt Romney By Default
COULD this man really be President?
Until a week or so ago, Mitt Romney seemed to be posing a formidable challenge to Rudy Giuliani.
But with Mike Huckabee surging in the polls and with Romney’s lead in Iowa starting to look shaky, the former New York mayor appears to be edging closer toward the Republican nomination.
It helps that Huckabee supporters - rather than Giuliani fans - are the ones resorting to dirty tricks. But even Giuliani is not immune from such Huck-inspired tactics.
So how is it that Giuliani, despite recent allegations of wasting taxpayer money as he carried out an extramarital affair, despite previous support for gay marriage and gun control, despite getting dressed up in women’s clothes and being kissed by The Donald, is still the Republican frontrunner?
Is it 9/11?
Or is it just that the others are that lousy?

Mike Gravel Pops, Mike Huckabee Heads Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Bore
HE’S nowhere to be seen in the race for the presidency. In fact, he was shut out of the last Democratic debate because his fundraising and poll numbers were so low.
But we’re sure former Alaska senator Mike Gravel would make a mean pop-star president, judging by this campaign video produced by Rx2008 of Sunday Bloody Sunday fame.
Meanwhile, with exactly one month to go to the Iowa caucuses, America’s media is fixated on two races.
On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee continues to make inroads.
The former southern baptist minister is getting stronger every day in Iowa, where he has pulled ahead of former frontrunner Mitt Romney in the polls.
He’s taking flak from some corners of the party for his record of raising taxes while he was governor of Arkansas.
But he’s beginning to emerge as one of the few Republican candidates who might just appeal to Democratic voters when the race opens up next year. Though what they will make of his stance on evolution is anyone’s guess.
On the Democrat side attention has turned to Hillary Clinton, who has vowed to start setting out the differences between herself and Barack Obama.
But this one promises to be a snoozefest.
Although the two candidates differ on just about everything from foreign policy and healthcare to the way the political establishment conducts business, their main difference continues to be that Clinton remains the runaway favorite for the Democratic nomination. While Obama, like his fellow candidates, is failing to mount a serious challenge.

The Giuliani Affair, Romney’s Garden, Huckbee’s Taxes, McCain’s Torture And Getting Hillary Clinton
IN a sign of just how close the Republican race for the nomination is proving the candidates in last night’s YouTube/CNN debate turned on each other with ferocity.
With less than six weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses and less than two months to the first primaries, Mitt Romney traded barbs with Rudy Giuliani over illegal immigration.
Romney accused Giuliani of being soft on illegals’ rights and Giuliani accused Romney of turning a blind eye to illegal immigrants employed by a landscaping firm that worked at his home.
That mud might stick, but so did the boos of the audience as Giuliani repeated his accusations.
Meanwhile, Fred Thompson went on the attack with a YouTube video of his own, highlighting Romney’s past support for abortion and Mike Huckabee’s support for taxes.
There was barely any time to devote to pillorying that old chestnut, Hillary Clinton, as the candidates turned on each other over abortion, guns and tax.
Romney and John McCain clashed over torture. And Thompson attacked Giuliani for his support of Bernard B Kerik, the former New York police commissioner whom Giuliani appointed and who has recently been indicted on charges of fraud and tax evasion.
All in all, it hasn’t been a good 24 hours for the Giuliani campaign. Yesterday Politico.com reported that Giuliani billed obscure New York City agencies tens of thousands of dollars for a security detail in the Hamptons during 1999 and 2000 when he was having an extramarital affair with a woman who lived there.
The only crumb of comfort for Giluliani may be that commentators appear divided on who came out on top.
The New York Times Caucus blog said it was hard to pick a winner for the evening “because the fur was flying in all directions.”
The New York Post declared it Thompson’s best debate yet with Giulani appearing too liberal.
But Britain and America chose John McCain as the winner of the evening, talking well on immigration, foreign affairs and torture while Thompson lacking fluency, Giuliani was off form and Romney couldn’t shake accusations of flip flopping.
Meanwhile, Redstate went with Huckabee and McCain, accusing Giuliani and Romney of being so so, and Thompson of failing to deliver anything better than a few good one-liners.
All eyes would now turn to the CBS Democratic debate scheduled for December 10. But the debate has been canceled because of the writer’s strike and candidates’ unsurprising reticence to cross the picket lines.
