| Huckabee Unveils Dirt He Won't Use Against Rivals |
| 2008-01-02 |
| Scrappleface Alert! Scott Ott on top of his game, as usual To further demonstrate his commitment to a positive campaign strategy, Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee today showed reporters a Powerpoint presentation of opposition research that his staff has compiled against his top GOP rivals and announced he would not be using any of it in his effort to win his party’s nomination. The revelations come just a day after Mr. Huckabee held a news conference to unveil to reporters an attack ad against Mitt Romney that his campaign will not broadcast in the waning hours before Thursday’s Iowa caucuses. In today’s 47-minute narrated presentation, the former Arkansas governor revealed the findings of private investigators, as well as leaks from Democrat operatives, and innuendo “that we haven’t had time to confirm yet”, all of which Mr. Huckabee said “would never be released by his campaign, except to you people at this press conference, whom I have come to know and trust.” The collection of political ammunition, known to campaign insiders as “the Huckabee dirt bag”, includes potentially-damaging, allegations about Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and John McCain, which “could prove devastating, or even true, if we had time to do more research.” “But what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and yet lose his own soul,” said Mr. Huckabee, “which is why I’m not going take the traditional route of highlighting my opponents’ flaws and potential scandals, even though, as you can see, there’s no shortage of material for that.” To “prove his sincerity,” Mr. Huckabee’s staffers gave copies of the Powerpoint presentation, along with 653 pages of supporting documentation, and dozens of audio and video clips to political reporters at the news conference. “If I didn’t show this material to you,” he said, “you’d probably think I didn’t really have any dirt on Mitt, Fred and John, and so you would never realize how gracious I have been in refusing to use the kind of garbage that would virtually guarantee a Huckabee victory.” |

| #2 Huck has out flanked Slick Willy with this exposure of the dirt he is far too good to even consider making public. (except to you guys who will keep his lips above the shit line while trashing all the republicans opponents) "I would never say that all my opponents still beat their wives, but that's what the data suggests." |

| #1 Brilliant! Glorious Scrappleface! Heard o'shucksonme quoted this morning, "If you are going to go vote for one of the other candidates, you might as well just stay home and watch the Orange Bowl." What a tool - guess what shuckster, big fan of both KU and Va Tech right here so kiss my jayhawking ass. Keep runing that Hog Wild formation out the cotton bowl and up your caucas. I will not vote for this candidate. |
