Heads up, Fred: Mike Huckabee is snaring your audience

Scott Johnson, the strictly neutral chairman of the Cobb County GOP, was among those checking out Mitt Romney at the Varsity on Wednesday.

He’s got no dog in the presidential hunt, at least publicly. But Johnson had this bit of news:

Mike Huckabee, who finished a surprising second behind Romney in the Iowa straw poll, will be addressing Cobb County Republicans at their monthly breakfast on Saturday, Sept. 8.

Huckabee also has appearances in Georgia on Sept. 22 and 23, though I’m not sure they’re campaign events. One is an appearance at First Redeemer in Cummings, one of the largest Southern Baptist congregations in the state.

I am proud to be an American when I see the way the Iowa straw poll seemed to cut through some of the hype created by the media that was in favor of the over financed candidates.

Back about 1915 or so we had a politician named Woodrow Wilson that accepted a bribe to create the Federal Reserve. They were a group of very powerful bankers and businessmen from around the world at the time. Through the monopoly of being the source of our money and by being outside of our government, or paying any taxes, they have built up a fortune that, I believe, includes owning most of the politicians of the world.

It is going to take a determined, We the People, to restore law and order in our government before we can restore law and order in our streets.

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

-Woodrow Wilson

JFK’s Executive Order 11,100 rectified the above…removing the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank from control of our money. He issued U.S. Notes, instead, and the People gained in the process. After the Roman Catholic CIA, under Nixon and Bush, assassinated President Kennedy, the Fed was restored to power over our money and 58,000 of us died for papal interests in Rome’s slave fiefdom of Vietnam

I dint know Nixon and Bush operated a ‘catholic’ CIA…can you verify your source? That is so idiotically oxymoronic when one consider’s that JFK was Catholic. Sources please.

Far as I know the Fed STILL controls the $ UNcontitutionally.

How was Vietnam, ‘Rome’s slave fiefdom’? Cant wait for that answer.

What time is your appointment with your shrink today?

Let’s be realistic, the Iowa Straw Poll will not determine the Republican Presidential Nominee. Nonetheless, there are a few legitimate points to be made in regards to last weekend’s event. The first interesting point to be taken from Iowa is the fact that former New York Mayor and current nomination frontrunner Rudi Giuliani did not participate. His campaign has predictably downplayed the straw poll’s importance and even went so far as to state in a usatoday.com article that the event was a “distraction.” The real reason Giuliani failed to participate in the straw poll is because his message lacks true the true conservative principles the people of the Iowa Republican Party are drawn to. Giuliani’s move was nothing more than an attempt to avoid embarrassment. The second point to make regards the large amounts of money former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney spent to attract voters to the event. While this does not totally discredit any signs pointing to his support in the state, it does cast serious doubt to the size and strength of such support. The last point to be taken from the Iowa Straw Poll involves the surprisingly strong support former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee received. With little money to spend Huckabee relied on his vision for America to inspire people to make their own travel arrangements for the event, unlike the Romney campaign which, according to a washingtontimes.com article, spent approximately 2 million dollars in event preparation and travel expenses for supporters. I don’t think that anyone is ready to call Mike Huckabee the Republican Presidential Nominee, however, his strong showing at the Iowa Straw Poll shows that many within the Republican Party are beginning to realize they don’t have to wait for the true conservative to enter the race, he is already here. This will become even clearer during the next few weeks as Huckabee receives increased media exposure, which will lead to an increase in contributions as well as voter support. All of which will thrust him into the ring of upper tier republican candidates, giving him a legitimate change in 08.

First off, any idiot who does not recognize the importance of the Federal Reserve has no business having any money anyhow.

Second, why is it that Romney (a successful executive with the experience needed to be in charge of the federal executive branch of government) is seen with suspicion because he is Mormon but Huckabee is riding his Baptist coattail’s as far as it will take him?

I for one, believe that it is critical to have a President who will call upon God, but I do not want a President who is going to preach at me. There was a war fought about that-you know, The REVOLUTIONARY WAR!!!!! I am sure that Huckabee would be a good President, as he does have executive experience from running Arkansas executive branch but have we not had enough of Arkansas/Clinton, you name it?
