how to convert someone from Huckabee to Paul?

[Peppy690]

What should I tell my friend, who is all about Huckabee, in order to convert him to Ron Paul.

[VoteRonPaul2008]

I can definately help you with this

Huckabee is pro amnesty and wants to import Mexican farm workers with our tax dollars

[F3d]

....

[VoteRonPaul2008]

Look up this site I think its www.taxhikemike.org or com

he has a history of tax hikes

[VoteRonPaul2008]

Oh yeah I read somewhere in the Arkansas times, he pardoned a convicted rapist

[Micahyah]

the tax hike stuff is great, there's also the stuff about his small town corruption sliminess, like getting people to furnish his house by setting up a wedding registry YEARS after being married, using state funds for trips and vacations, etc.

If this doesn't get him, nothing will.

We need to have a good discussion on this topic. I believe Huckabee to be the biggest threat to Paul right now.

[Just Come Home]

Simple. You wait.

The rest will take care of itself.

[Shatterhand]

Lord Xar had a really good thread relating to this question. Sorry I don't have the link.

The Club for Growth, a well respected conservative advocacy organization, has done the legwork on Huckabee, and "Tax Hike Mike" is dead on.

Their white paper is full of factual information. All sources are cited.
http://www.clubforgrowth.org/media/uploads/0070129-white-paper-huckabee.pdf

Their president, Pat Toomey, has an excellent op-ed summarizing these findings in the National Review.
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YzNiY2M5NzIxZDJlMDUxNzUwYmQ4ZDU5ZDAzY2U3YWU=

Mike Huckabee raised taxes on the average taxpayer by 47% over his tenure as governor, and increased the size and scope of government at an astounding pace. Mike Huckabee raised taxes from the grocery store to the gas pump, where it hurts average Americans most.

Mike Huckabee supported the SCHIP socialized medicine program that even President Bush vetoed. Mike Huckabee opposes school choice, and opposes allowing average Americans to opt out of government managed saving. Mike Huckabee supports increased regulation of business that hurts our economy. Mike Huckabee has even come out in support of a nationwide smoking ban.

Mike Huckabee is wrong on every issue that matters to fiscal conservatives, and wrong for average Americans who are sick and tired of out of control spending in Washington.

Mike Huckabee, WRONG for America.

just got a convert this morning and went through all the candidates stance on the Iraq war in a news item today; http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20071118-9999-lz1n18road.html

Quote: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: Troop buildup should continue until stability is restored. Hold a regional summit to encourage Iraq's neighbors to become financially and militarily committed to stabilizing Iraq.

That convinced this person that Ron Paul is the most pro peace candidate.

[Peppy690]

UPDATE: I got him to drop Huckabee support because of Hucks support of a nationwide smoking ban. Success. Now I am trying to work Paul in.

Well everyone already posted the dirt on this clown. I like to hit up the fairtax blogs and websites and start from there, he has a large support base in the fairtax camp just because he supports fairtax. It's a good place to plant some information seeds about his record and alot of these people are anti 16th etc, so some are very easy to convert to RP.

fairtaxgroups.com is a good place to start. Go to the presidential section.

If your friend is for Huckabee he is probably a Christian. Ask him how he squares his Christianity with the war in Iraq. Depending on the answer you'll have a better idea of how to get him to lean in Ron Paul's direction.

[mosquitobite]

ABC had a piece about Huckabee polling at 20% in Iowa today. They had a graph showing Republican candidate fund raising, but of course didn't even have Dr Paul on there! :rolleyes: They showed Huckabee's pathetic fundraising amount though :D

I do think this increase in Huckabee support is the simple minded one issue voters that Karl Rove likes to drum up. Basically, Huckabee reminds people of a "good Christian man" and voila! *pukes*

The people not willing to do more research on a candidate will fall for this!
