Romney, Thompson say Huckabee is just another Bill Clinton

[sniffa]

To hear Mitt Romney tell it, Republican Mike Huckabee shares more with Democrat Bill Clinton than a hometown in Hope, Ark., and a stint as Arkansas governor.

Both men, Romney suggests, have left-leaning governing philosophies, particularly on taxes and spending.

``Governor Huckabee's record is more liberal than our nation needs right now,'' the former Massachusetts governor said in Iowa last week, seeking to link his GOP presidential rival to the former Democratic president who is loathed by many Republican loyalists.

Retorted Huckabee: ``This nonsense about being a liberal is pure nonsense.''

Romney started giving Huckabee that brand — and implicitly linking him to Clinton — as polls started showing a tight race in the first state to speak in the GOP nomination fight. Romney had led in Iowa for months, but Huckabee's recent rise here and elsewhere has prompted Romney to go after him.

The effort may be paying off. Polls show Huckabee's double-digit lead dropping to single digits less than two weeks before the Jan. 3 caucuses.

1. ROFL!

They hate Huckleberry because he's a religious wacko who occasionally suggests it's OK to do something good for the poor. In other words, although he's a fundie loon, he still isn't quite mean enough to be a real Republican.

2. Slow news day for Fred and Mitt?

Whenever right-wing propagandists need a word to scare their minions
off, they accuse someone of being a "liberal," and expect to instill
fear and strike terror into the hearts of their followers, sort of
like some on the left use "corporatist" in the same way. Of course,
"liberal" has fewer syllables, and is thus places less stress on
the limited capacity of those on the right (see "Bush, GW").

6. Romney Update: "Well, it depends on what the meaning the definition of "just another" is...

"I mean, if you take it literally of course I don't mean they're symbiotic twins, or even fraternal twins, but if you take 'just another' as meaning a white male with a southern accent from the same state, then of course, they are just alike." Romney was cut short on his explanatory remarks as he was late for an appointment to have his hair waxed and teeth polished.

7. That is what the GOP is hoping the people think

It could be that he is the GOP chosen candidate. A southern Governor, from Arkansas like a former great leader, from Hope like a former great leader. He also came virtually from nowhere as Clinton did in 1991.

Maybe the Romney Thompson remarks are part of the GOP calculated plan to put Huckleberry in the nomination.
