I now have a blog at Wordpress as well as here so I can help at the Huckabee Alliance. It's going to be a great blog. I can tell already. My new blog address is: http://a4wiseowl.wordpress.com/ so no big change in name or anything. I'll be sync-ing posts between the two of them. I guess this will become more of my personal blog, and the other will be my more professional Huckabee Blog from here out. Ok, well off I go again.

Game ends early, prepare for new show 2012

2008-03-04T19:39:00.000-08:00

It's done, we're out. 2012 here I come. I can't believe it's over so quickly, but it taught me some things. The Media must be punished for their spin, and McCain is no conservative. I may write in Huckabee if I have to if I am not prooven why McCain has any conservatism (other than on national defense) in his body.

Devastation may now commence.

Super Tuesday!!!

In honor of my joy at the Huckabee Comeback today, I decided to use the lastest Spurt of Inspiration to write another song edit for Huckabee. The South really did Rise Again for Huckabee. Latest news: Romney dropped out today! Good news for Huckabee.

Here's my song edit as a thank you tribute to the results:

Super Tuesday

Polls could never see that he would win
Yesterday dont matter Since he’s won
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
What’s in the polls

Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you

Dont question why the leads don’t tend to be
They’ll tell us its the only way to be
That polls just can’t be changed
To elect a man for gain
Where nothing’s lost
At Romney’s cost

Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you

And theres no time to lose, the pundits say
Cast your vote before they get their way
Lying all the time
Lost their dreams
So you must state your mind.
Not far behind?

Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you

Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you

SUPER TUESDAY!!!

Ye Haw! The South Rose Again. They proved Huckabee is still defidently in this and McCain is defidently slowed from here on. It's a battle for delegates and we can stop McCain! Now I'm just waiting for Romney to suspend his campaign. I'm prayin for ya Huck!

UCSD 4 Huckabee!

2008-02-03T00:23:00.000-08:00

So Super Tuesday Approaches and everything seems to be going fairly well. Pray for the South. I was in the news for helping for Huckabee. However the reporter combined my quotes and misquoted me in the quote. He also screwed up my major which is Ecology, Behavior, & Evolution, but the point that UCSD Likes MIKE was made nevertheless, so I'm happy. I'm also ecstatic because my grandfather got a magnetic bumper sticker I made for him and my grandma signed by Governor Huckabee.

"On UC San Diego's most congested pedestrian walkway on Thursday afternoon, Obama supporters significantly outnumbered those of other campaigns.

Six or seven volunteers for Obama competed for the attention of passers-by against a sole supporter of Mike Huckabee and two Hillary Clinton volunteers.

...

The lone Huckabee volunteer on campus said the former Arkansas governor is the most attractive Republican candidate for young voters, something he has seen in campaigning.

"I think the main thing is (Huckabee's stance on) the Fair Tax," said Alec Weisman, a UCSD freshman studying ecology. "Most of us are sick of being taxed over and over. Just getting taxed on your income and then getting hit with the corporate tax. And with him, it's more than talk; he's had action as a governor."

"From CALPIRG’s voter registration clipboard crew to a one-manned table with a loud boombox and some “Mike Huckabee for President” pamphlets, on-campus, student-run political groups are determined to prod students to take a stance on today’s pressing issues.

With the Feb. 5 primary election approaching, politically active students likeRevelle College freshman Alec Weisman, an on-campus representative for the Presidential Campaign for Governor Mike Huckabee, are eager to influence the university’s young voters.

“I want to get involved on campus and do whatever I can,” Weisman said. “I’m here to show people that [Huckabee] has a presence [in San Diego]. [Huckabee] is pushing the fact that college is too expensive. In the lower education system he wants more teacher equality and more art and music in schools to help [students] become more well-rounded.”"

Duncan Hunter

2008-01-23T22:13:00.000-08:00

I must say I am ecstatic about Duncan Hunter's endorsement of Mike Huckabee. I was overjoyed upon learning the news. Laughed like crazy watching the Media Drones heads implode because of it, proving, although they don't want to believe it, that Huckabee is a conservative. I was working hard today out at UC San Diego on Library Walk working to put out a presence for Mike Huckabee and convince people to vote for him. I also must say thank G-d Fred Thompson dropped out, however I hope they turn to Huckabee as their next choice. Well we lost South Carolina due to Thompson but realistically Huck can still get the nomination as only 5 states have been put in play thus far. On to the other 45. Game on!

Current Comments

Ok so we've gotten 4/50 out of the way, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and Michigan. Huckabee's done well so far but other than Iowa, no wins. It's all up to South Carolina on Saturday to prove he will be able to get the nomination. He needs to win it, because it will give him the Hucka-Super Surge for Florida and Super Tuesday States. All my prayers go out to him for peace of mind and victory.

Hip! Hip! Horray! 1 down, 49 to Go!

2008-01-04T01:38:00.000-08:00

Mike got the win in Iowa yesterday. I'm so ecstatic about his win. On to New Hampshire, which he doesn't even have to win, just McCain does. Hopefully Huckabee can pull off Wyoming and Michigan thus effectively eliminating Romney, cuz Huck will be on a role after he wins South Carolina. If he gets Michigan he also just could beat Rudy in Florida! Then on to Super Tuesday, when my vote in California adds to the HUCK-A-BA-BOOM.

On the democratic side, I'm happy Hillary got 3rd though I hope she pulls off winning the Democratic Primary so she's easier for Huck to beat. Obama I like as a person but I worry tremendously about the direction America would go in if he won.

The Game is Afoot

2008-01-02T17:01:00.000-08:00

I wanted to avoid commenting on the other candidates but Mitt Romney's latest ad is just rediculus. I'm proud Huckabee did not release that attack ad on Romney because he shows his honesty. Mitt's actions however keep get more and more attrocious, so it has prompted me to put in my two cents in on the other republican candidates. I'll begin with the deushebag.

Mitt Romney — What a Slimebag

First of all Mitt is a flip-flopper to a degree worse than Kerry, with such a problem with the truth that he outshines Clinton. This guy is disgusting. In his latest attack ad he's attacking Chuck Norris. That is low, attacking the supporter of a candidate. Is Romney that scared and that much of a joke to honestly expect to win? He better lose, because how dare he think he can play the American People as fools. Doesn't even have the balls to leave his approval on the ad yet they run it on the front page of his website. What a jerk. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ROMNEY. Here's his ad: http://tv.mittromney.com/?showid=728468

Fred Thompson — Lazy & Lackluster

Just a waste of space in the 2008 presidential elections, he is truly lazy and only enjoys insulting other candidates. He has no true record from his senate career and seems to be an accomplice to Romney by running misleading and untrue attack ads like crazy. He claims he is a real conservative, but he has yet to prove he is and that he is honorable too.

Ron Paul — True Crazy

Here's a guy running for office crazier than most lunatics. Where do I start? The isolationism? The 9/11 Conspiracies his supporters endorse? The hidden White Supremacism? I couldn't stand him for the longest time and I knew his supporters were mainly pessimistic 9/11 consipiracy theorists but he made me furious when he blamed Lincoln for causing the Civil War. HOW CAN HE BE SO INSANE? I guess the world will never know. Hopefully.

Guiliani — Too liberal for me

I don't have much bad to say about Guiliani, other than the Cronyism worries me and he is just too liberal for my tastes. I'd like him in the Huckabee cabinet though. He'd make a great Attourney General.

John McCain — A True Hero, but not a President

I like him, but his time has passed, he is too old, and I distrust him on immigration. I'd love to see a Huckabee-McCain ticket however, but I can't see it happening. Romney's attack on his character is disgusting and desperate and shows how low Romney will go. Win New Hampshire McCain, so Romney can learn the lesson that money doesn't buy power and neither do lies and attack ads. We need a new precident away from spite.

Duncan Hunter — Great Congressman

Not presidential material though, however I'd like him in the Huckabee cabinet too. Hopefully when he drops out he will endorse Huckabee, unlike Tancredo who only endorsed Romney because of a personal dislike of Huckabee.

In Conclusion

All these sentiments are merely echos of others I've seen before but they are honest and all I can say. More research on the crazy Ron Paul, the Slimebag Mitt Romney, and Lazy Fred Thompson can be found at various locations. A fellow Blogger for Huck has compiled a list here: http://thinkmikehuckabee.blogspot.com/

and although harsher than I would like, has a great deal of negative data on the other candidates. I don't agree with him 100% however I come pretty close when it comes down to Paul, Romney, Thompson, & Tancredo. Hope my venting on the other candidates wasn't super boring, haha.

Happy New Year

2008-01-01T17:41:00.000-08:00

It's now 2008 and I must say, it took it's damn long time coming. 2007 was pretty much a drag but I can see '08 will be great. I like to call 2008 the Year of Huck, cuz I honestly think Huckabee will win the election. It would be my first election so it will be amazing when he does. I know I sound over confident but I'm pretty confident, haha. Looking forward to more humor and fun. All I have left to say right now is Happy new years, and thank G-d cuz to quote the Beatles "It's Getting Better", and it really is (especially after 2007).

2007-12-29T18:48:00.000-08:00

Today is I LIKE MIKE Day so I felt to get in the spirit I'd write a couple song edits on his behalf. I sent these two songs edits to Matt Robins. I advise you look him up on youtube, he did two similar song edits (to the tune of Help! and Breakfast at Tiffany's) on behalf of Huck and performed them. Hopefully he can perform them and get them online. GO Huckabee for President 2008. I am happy to now present: HUCKABEE & VOTE 4 HUCK.

We want someone, we both know it,

We all talk too much about it.

Ain't no real big secret all the same,

somehow, they don't understand it.

Listen, it don't really matter to me, baby,

We believe that he just can achieve,

You say he just might win that Huckabee.

(He just might win that Huckabee)

Somewhere, somehow,

Opponents must have kicked him around some.

Tell me why he didn't go there and make an attack ad.

It don't make no difference to me, baby,

Everybody's had to fight for the key,

You see he just could be our nominee.

(He just could be our nominee)

Baby, you know he just could be our nominee.

(He just could be our nominee)

Baby, we ain't the first.

I'm sure that in him Reagan's returned.

Right now this seems better than true,

But he's one of those guys the others have to pursue

Somewhere, somehow,

Opponents must have kicked him around some.

Who knows? Maybe the others attacked,

Played up, lied in dismay, and then some.

Honey, it don't really matter to me, baby,

Everybody's had to fight for the key,

You see he just, might win that Huckabee.

He just could be our nominee.

You see he just, might win that Huckabee.

He just could be our nominee.

You see he just, might win that Huckabee.

He just could be our nominee.

WHY I SUPPORT MIKE HUCKABEE

I began to like Mike right around the time he got Number 2 in the Iowa Straw Poll. At first I was like most Republicans who didn't know who they would vote for this year. I was first drawn to Huckabee during the debates. I really enjoyed his sense of humor, honesty, and integrity I felt was lacking from the other candidates. To me, Romney was a flip-flopper, McCain too old and not right for the job, Ron Paul was crazy, Guiliani did too much "cronyism" but I thought I'd probably vote for him over the others. I didn't understand why Huckabee raised his hand stating he didn't believe in evolution but it intrigued me. I felt I needed to hear his reasonings. Turns out he's not truly against evolution, rather the assertion that evolution is random (No G-d control), and not guided. I agreed with him 100%. I saw him with his band and loved it. Especially since I'm the giant classic rock buff. Still I didn't know about his chances.

So then August rolls around and he gets Number 2 in Iowa. I decided then to become a Huckabee supporter. Everyone told me I was throwing my vote away but I said "No, the primaries are important and he's the only true conservative running, and if I vote for him then he just may win. You never know each vote is important." THEN CHUCK NORRIS endorsed HUCK and I knew Huckabee would win. I loved the commercial they made with the Chuck Norris Facts. Following that his poll numbers began to jump exponentially and when he passed Romney in Iowa and Guiliani nationally I began to aggressively push other Republicans I knew to endorse him too.

I was somewhat wary of his aggressive faith campaign but I realized based on his governorship of Arkansas that it is nowhere near as threatening as most of the media portrayed it as. I got annoyed at the major freak out about the "cross" in the ad by the media. I AM JEWISH, and 1) I didn't see the cross the first few times I saw it, and 2) I am glad he did the ad with a Christmas focus because all this Political Correct Happy Holidays only applies when Hanukkah occurs at the same time as Christmas. THATS RIGHT, I'm A JEW4HUCK!

I didn't see that in any of his blogs so far, especially since the media portrays him as super Christian, although I do know many jews who support him.

Then the big news, I spoke to Eric Yin, the head of the Huckabee campaign in the San Diego area about my becoming a leader in the campaign at UCSD, essentially Huck's UCSD On Campus Rep. Eric supported that, and as soon as school starts again I'll arrange several on campus events for Huck. I donated $105 dollars to Huck since I signed up on his website, $100 of that on the December 27th Money Bomb Day where he raised 90,000. I decided to make this blog as another way to support Huck as well as to serve as a good overall blog for me to vent, hahaha.

Here is my endorsement I left on his site:

Mike Huckabee is the best candidate running for president. From his proposals on immigration, to the FairTax, to reforming education he is the best candidate. Not only that but he has a brilliant foreign policy approach and has the best vision for America. Finally, who could dislike a minister in his own rock band whose favorite band is the Rolling Stones?

This is my first election that I will be personally able to vote in so I am very excited and optomistic for the change of title of Governor Huckabee to President Huckabee.

First Post

2007-12-28T14:29:00.000-08:00

At first I didn't want to make a blog. It seemed a little weird to me after having so many other sites to deal with online like my facebook. Then I started reading blogs trying to get the latest news on the presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. After endorsing him on his site, becoming a campus representative for his campaign, and donating online I wondered what else could I do in my spare time for his campaign. Then I decided to make my own blog. I'll explain how he got my endorsement later. Some backround about me now, I'm currently a freshman at UCSD where I am majoring in Ecology, Behavior, & Evolution and minoring in PoliSci. I am a classic rock buff, and since I first started in my Junior Year of High School has seen over 20 classic rock concerts. I am also a great photographer. All four years of high school I worked at the LA Zoo as a student volunteer. I was elected as Head Photographer of the Student Volunteers in my Junior Year of High School.
