Iowa Flooded With “Renegade” Calls Sliming Huckabee’s Opponents

Politico:

A newly-formed group claiming to support Mike Huckabee hit the phones of Iowa Republicans tonight with an automated push-poll attacking Huckabee’s GOP opponents and praising the former Arkansas governor.

Officials representing the Iowa campaigns of Fred Thompson, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani all said that their supporters contacted them to complain about the calls. A spokesman for Romney’s campaign said they had gotten reports of calls, but did not know of anything negative being said about their candidate.

For each target, the pattern was the same — a recorded message using voice recognition technology asked the recipient if they would participate in the caucuses, considered themselves pro-life and thought marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Then the dirt came, right after those called were asked which candidate they were backing.

For all three, the calls were phrased in the same manner: “If you knew that…”

But different candidates were targeted with different attacks.

For Thompson it was his past lobbying for an abortion rights group, his support of McCain-Feingold and that McCain-Feingold had also been known as “McCain-Feingold-Thompson.”

For Giuliani, it was that he’s “pro-abortion,” supports civil unions and that “his police chief and business partner has been indicted” on various charges.

And for McCain, it was about his support for campaign finance reform and opposition to a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

    I bet the callers had a “South of the Border” accent . . . notice the comments bashing Huckabee’s opponents listed nothing about supporting illegal immigration or raising taxes.

    I don’t trust Huckabee . . . as I have said . . . sorry, when I get on my soap box, my daughter says I don’t know when to stop.

    Photo with Carter . . . . . . . . ughhhh!

    LMcG,

    My wife and co-workers say the same thing about me. But I keep the words of Edmund Burke in mind: “The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.”

    I agree with you on Huckabee. Sure, he is conservative on some issues, but he is pro-big government and pro-illegal immigration, with not even a high-school level understanding of economics. His becoming President will be a disaster to this country.

    True Conservatives have no good choice this election, so we must choose which candidate has positions that most closely align with our priorities. My current priorities are national security and the economy, and so I’m leaning toward Romney with Giuliani a close second.

    We are so blessed to have Ronaldus Magnus when we did, but I don’t see another one of him coming down the pike anytime soon.

    Is this the same “schmuck” who is big on open borders, and who worked with the corrupt mexican government to set up rent free “illegal latino” hiring halls in Arkansas for business.
    Yeah, I thought so.
