Comments on: Huckabee says Romney 'desperate,' acting like a 'tattle-tale' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/11/huckabee-calls-romney-desperate/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Kristy Sanborhn, Buckhorn, Mo. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/11/huckabee-calls-romney-desperate/#comment-180134 Kristy Sanborhn, Buckhorn, Mo.

Who is acting like a third grader? Huckabee can run down Romney for his religious beliefs, but Romney can't place an ad without Huckabee's approval? If this isn't a joke, and almost hysterically funny, I don't know what is! Has anyone ever noticed in past elections, that there are always the ones the media is partial to, the ones who it seems like try to see who can sling the most mud, and spend the most money, and they don't get elected in the end.

The tuition break he supported in Arkansas stated that the children of illegal aliens must maintain a certain GPA, not have any history of drug use, and be applying for citizenship. The idea behind this is that they too can become productive, educated taxpayers in society. What's worse, children of illegal aliens with no education and no means of paying taxes, or educated individuals who will repay their debt to society through a college education and taxes? Seems easy to me. Huckabee's tuition break to illegals is not based solely on their illegal status.

Isn't it only proper for the voters to know what does a candidate stand for? Unfortunately, candidates will not voluntarily reveal much of themselves. So the best source of such information is the candidate's opponents. As long as the opponents are being factual, and not attacking Huckabee personally, then that is not mud slinging. Huckabee is upset because he is not too proud of his record. He has been soft on illegal aliens. He is also soft on crimes, as he has commuted sentences of many criminals.

Romney's recent ads criticize Huckabee's position on "illegal immigration" and attack the children of undocumented aliens. Huckabee's words from one of the recent debates resonates with truth and reason. "We are a better country than to punish children for what their parents did," he said. Thus far, he is the only [Republican] candidate to address the issue with such candor. As an aside, my family is Mormon. I can only say that we are sad and disappointed in the way Romney's campaign tactics have deteriorated. At this point, I honestly do not know who I will vote for.
