Grudge Match
Huckabee, Hoffman, and Club for Growth. Also: The arrest of an Obama tiger.
AN EXPENSIVE DATE
Fox News host and former Gov. Mike Huckabee
threatened to cancel his October 27 appearance at the
Upstate Multi-County Committee of the New York State Conservative
Party annual dinner if the Conservative Party didn’t tamp down
criticism of Huckabee’s refusal to endorse Conservative Party
congressional candidate Doug
Hoffman, who is in a neck and neck campaign
against liberal Republican candidate Dede
Scozzafava. Both are running for the
23rd Congressional district seat vacated by Rep.
John McHugh.
Huckabee, who according to Upstate Committee sources is receiving a five-figure fee in excess of $20,000 for his appearance, has refused to personally endorse Hoffman, who is pro-life and signed the “no-tax” pledge in August before his announced candidacy, and has informed Hoffman that HuckPAC will not support him either. Some Conservative Party officials believe Huckabee’s fee is intended for his PAC. Ironically, the dinner is held to honor conservatives who exemplify conservative principles.
Huckabee, and his daughter, Sarah, who runs HuckPAC, were said by upstate Conservative Party sources to be upset that word was leaked last week that they were lobbying Hoffman to attend the event but were refusing to endorse the candidate either personally or through the PAC. “They said the governor might say nice things about [Hoffman], but would not endorse,” says a party official. “They also said if our discussions were made public they might cancel, because it was embarrassing that they were being put in an uncomfortable position. But they are making money off our party, I don’t understand why they can’t support our highest profile candidate right now, too.”
Polls show Hoffman either tied with or within the margin of error of Scozzafava, both of whom trail the Democrat in the race. Huckabee’s actions are seen by conservatives as bolstering Scozzafava, who is pro-choice and only signed the “anti-tax” pledge last Thursday after National Republican Congressional Committee staff promised her former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich would endorse her. After she signed the pledge, Gingrich endorsed her on Friday morning. Gingrich had attempted to stay out of the race, but according to NRCC sources only endorsed after Scozzafava signed the pledge, and after weeklong pressure from NRCC chairman Rep. Pete Sessions. The RNC, alarmed by the strength of Hoffman’s candidacy in the polls, is said to have committed $100,000 to Scozzafava’s campaign, which at one point last week had less than $10,000 on hand.
A former Huckabee presidential campaign source says another reason Huckabee has thus far refused to support Hoffman is that Hoffman was first endorsed by the Club for Growth. “Had Hoffman come to the governor first, before going to others entities for support, things might have been different,” says the former aide. “This is all about who is going to help in 2011 and 2012 for the presidential race.”
During the 2008 primary season, Club for Growth targeted Huckabee for running deceptive ads about his fiscal record as Arkansas governor. During the primary season, Huckabee attempted to portray himself as a fiscal conservative, when in fact he had increased sales and gas taxes and supported state taxes on beer, cigarettes and nursing home beds.
Huckabee, however, has supported candidates also endorsed by Club for Growth. For example, both Club for Growth and Huckabee’s PAC are supporting the candidacy of Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio, who is challenging Gov. Charlie Crist — the difference being that Rubio endorsed Huckabee in 2008.
“Hoffman made his choices on who he would seek help from,” says the former Huckabee aide. “He’s a man who holds political grudges, anyone who’s worked with him long enough has seen it. Club for Growth is not an organization he particularly wants to work with.” Apparently, even if it means nursing this grudge will provide aid and comfort to liberal candidates, not to mention an additional seat to Democrats in Congress.
AN OBAMA TIGER’S ARREST
The White House was tipped off by the Department of Justice
on Thursday about the Friday arrest on insider trading charges of
Obama and Democratic National Committee fundraiser and hedge fund
founder Raj Rajaratnam, who was also a
major U.S. supporter of a Maryland-based charity that supported
the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), an organization that
is on the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization
list.
Rajaratnam was arrested for his role as founder of the Galleon Group, and was allegedly involved in what DOJ officials say was the largest-ever hedge-fund insider-trading case. DOJ sources say that its investigation of Rajaratnam had nothing to do with his ties to the Tamil Tigers or other pro-Tamil organizations he may have supported.
“It was clear that the White House might have to answer some questions about Rajaratnam when the arrest was made on Friday. This was nothing but a courtesy, a head’s up,” says a Department of Justice source. “He was a major supporter of the President. People were bound to ask.”
Rajaratnam donated tens of thousands to the Democratic National Committee, personally “maxed out” to both Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2007 and Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns in 2008, and raised more than $100,000 for Obama through his Wall Street and Sri Lankan-American connections, according a DNC source.
According to DNC sources, Rajaratnam sought opportunities to press the issue of the Tamils, an ethnic group that makes up about ten percent of the population in Sri Lanka. Sinhalese are the largest ethnic group on the island nation, making up about four-fifths of the population. Tamils have waged a bloody, anti-government terrorist campaign against the Sinhalese majority for years. Earlier this year, the Sri Lankan government announced that it had defeated the LTTE. In the past, Tamil organizations have also been represented by prominent Republicans, who have lobbied on their behalf.
Apparently, Rajaratnam and his fellow Tamil donors had some success. The Obama State Department, including former Sri Lankan ambassador and current assistant secretary of state Robert Blake, as well as United Nations ambassador Susan Rice, have attended meetings with pro-Tamil organizations, and Blake has made a number of supportive statements to enhance the Tamils standing, which have been used for fundraising purposes by the groups.

Is it me or is it seem that everyone else (other countries) has representation except us?
Ryan| 10.19.09 @ 8:19AM
A couple of things right off:
Hoffman's people should not be demanding or insinuating or whatever that Huckabee endorse him. If Huck doesn't, that's his choice. They can ask, but they shouldn't complain if he says no. An endorsement is not a right.
Second, Huckabee shouldn't let any grudge against Club for Growth (who oversimplified their complaints against him) prevent him from endorsing anybody. If CoG supports someone, they're worth looking at from a conservative angle.
Jim| 10.19.09 @ 1:05PM
I agree whole heartedly that the choice is Huckabees. But riding the fence is about to get painful. This is about principles not personalities. I have met Doug Hoffman twice. While not a man of large physical stature, this is one confident man in the principles of conservatism. I am 6' 3" and 230, (ok, maybe 240) and when I looked down at him in conversation and looked him in the eye, his eyes never backed down! He stood toe to toe with me in conversation. And yet, he does not have that Obama/Biden slick rockstar look! He is the real deal! Huckabee, Newt and the rest are fools.

Huckabee is a political weasel and an unattractive candidate. He is little more than a spoiler, and Republicans should get him off the stage quickly.

Amen, david. If the Repub conservatives follow Huck we will lament it as just as bad a mistake as the McCain effort. The unfortunate truth is that Republican does not = conservatism.

Huckabee is nothing but a spoiler, just like in 2008. If he runs again, the Repubs can kiss their chances of winning the top spot in 2012 good-bye. The problem with the republicans is that they have too many 1-issue people in their base.

Huckersterbee is a tool and useful idiot for the Democrats. The guy is pure snake oil and had a landfill worth of ethical issues when he left (after looting) the govs mansion.
No more religous idiots who can read a teleprompter. This guy, Newt, Dull, McLame and the Bush dynasty have destroyed the so called "opposition party in this country. He is death for conservatism and uses the religous angle because he really has nothing to say beyond it. The guy makes me want to puke with his delusions of grandeur and phoniness. He is another tax & spend liberal dem. Look at his record in Arkansas.
Hucksterbee is Bubba Clinton's twin brother.
victor| 10.20.09 @ 7:45PM
yeah, we need a man without any faith to lead us, eh?
The Founders were on the right track, no morality for those guys.
adam smith| 10.21.09 @ 7:11AM
No Victor. We need a man with courage to do what is best for this nation. With real vision and real skill sets of real tools that are up for REAL BIG job of turning this nation around.
Real faith is just great. The stuff Huck peddles is for suckers who need religion as the focus of their canidate as it is in their lives.
No thank you. I do not want another helping of the squirrel popping Dope from Hope. He does not have what it takes to do this job ahead. He needs to stick to pontificating & playing in his little band, pretending he is the next Bubba Clinton..

"During the primary season, Huckabee attempted to portray himself as a fiscal conservative, when in fact he had increased sales and gas taxes and supported state taxes on beer, cigarettes and nursing home beds."
"I turned a $200 million deficit into an $850 million surplus. We built roads. We improved our schools. With the support of the business community, as well as with the Supreme Court order, meant that what I did was exactly what governors are supposed to do, and that’s govern. You know, Ronald Reagan, today, would be attacked by Romney, because Reagan raised taxes $1 billion his first year as governor of California."--Mike Huckabee
"if you understand that some of those were gasoline taxes. At the end of my governorship, the income tax was exactly the same, and the sales tax was a penny higher. The net result was we had a better base of overall revenue."--Mike Huckabee

I believe Mike Huckabee. So will anyone else who does more than 2 minutes of research.
JBobs| 10.19.09 @ 11:23AM
Can't agree, mark. Huck and Mitt are the same run of the mill candidates that the Republicans have been running out since Papa Bush took over: campaign conservatives but libs under their skin. With the internal decline and foreign threats that we are facing, our nation can no longer afford to trust and support such men. We need to support the hard-core conservatives... no matter how rough around the edges they may be.
Dai Alanye | 10.19.09 @ 1:26PM
The Huckster talks a great game but plays toward the left side of the field. In addition he has had some ethical problems, including his attempted looting of the Arkansas governor's mansion, and the doubtful story about his weight loss.
He's a useful tool for us while acting as a conservative, but he'll switch whenever it suits his purposes.

Ryan, do some reshearch.
You don't know what you are talking about or are a Hucksterbot.
Hucksterbee never met a tax he did not like, nor a "gratuity" from a "constituent".
victor| 10.19.09 @ 8:26PM
Yeah, but you don't campaign as a taxcutter than raise them when you get in.
To be fair, George H.W.Bush believed the dems when they said no taxes and look what it got him.
Never, ever, believe a democrat. Or govern like one. That's all we get in New Jersey. RINO's as far as the eye can see. We're gonna get the shaft no matter who get's in. Corzine lies and raises them like a good little dem, Dagget, a pretendependent, is talking about raisng them and he's not even the Governor yet, and poor Christie won't be able to stand up to the 40 Thieves that are democrats waiting for their Ali baba.

Huckabee is not a conservative in any way, shape, or form. He's a Christian socialist. Click on my name for all the evidence you need of this.
Margie| 10.19.09 @ 3:20PM
Great info. there, RINO Hunter, thanks much. I'm going to join you all over at FR.
BTW peeps, there's no such thing as a Christian Socialist. True Christians are not Liberal or Socialist, though they take the name of Christian. I call them Faux Christians. I know so called Christians who have told me if I am to speak to them I cannot speak "badly" of Obama, (in other words speak truthfully), because they want to be doing "God's will." I believe these will be the same ones to also take the mark of the Beast.
Why is it that there aren't many people at AmSpec who speak well of Sarah Palin, but speak highly of Ron Paul? Why is it that no one comes to the defense of Israel haters either?
Margie| 10.19.09 @ 3:32PM
* sorry, meant to say why is it that no one comes to the defense of those defending Israel against the Israel-haters?
Len| 10.19.09 @ 6:24PM
Margie, perhaps no one speaks well of Palin because she has merely spoken in platitudes and stood on a platform of populism. Ron Paul, however is a clear defender of the US Constitution and natural rights. He has been laughed at for his stance, and even within the Republican party been dismissed as irrelevant. Yet this man is the ONLY ONE who has constantly stood for strict constitutionalism and true federalism.
When I hear Sarah Palin taking the repugs to task for their saying one thing (limited government) and doing another (growing government ever larger, and supporting consolidation of power in a central seat), and not just saying she's an outsider and relying on that rather than spurring the people to take back the powers rightfully theirs then perhaps she will garner favorable support here.
Margie, seriously the woman joined ranks with McCain, on of the greater blights the GOP has given us, along with Bush 2. Think of this, McCain actually joined forces with democrats to violate our right to have an unlimited voice(save slander and libel) in the political arena, and Bush 2 who had a chance to veto it didn't. McCain talked about being willing to be in Iraq 100 years, yet has done nothing to protect our borders, and nothing to change the immigration laws in this country, whereby certain terrorists (note, not a country) were able to enter this country and do harm. PALIN endorsed our actions in the middle east!!
Margie please stop being swayed by good actors and develop a strong understanding of what government is truly for, and then back only those candidates who will work to enact such.
Margie| 10.19.09 @ 6:41PM
Sorry there, Len. I fully back our supporting Israel and our other allies around the world. I fully back the funding of our Military and in fact they deserve billions more than what they are getting now. I do not believe in the legalization of drugs and other immoral things.
Therefore I am not in agreement with the loony Ron Paul. I suggest you do some learning of your own and wake up to the reality of the present world in which we live.
As for Sarah Palin, you can say whatever you wish, and just because you say it, doesn't make it the truth, does it? We'll see who comes out on top soon enough, and it won't be your guy.
Len| 10.20.09 @ 12:42PM
Margie, clearly the constitution has no meaning for you. Clearly you also see government as being empowered to decide morality for the world, but why not the world for us? BTW, as a Jew, I am against the US meddling in Israel, frankly it has done more harm than good. Carter for one, for another all the nations that come and interfere only make it harder for Israel to defend herself.
I wonder if you are making your decisions based on a false understanding of christianity, that wrongly believes that a government that has not submitted itself to God as the people of Israel did, somehow can act for God, and then there is the problem of how it is decided who speaks for God. Where is the provision in the Constitution for that?
Sorry Margie you are only going to feed the beast, and you choose to ignore the rule of law, your OPINION only means nothing.
Margie| 10.20.09 @ 5:49PM

Margie you sound like a deranged religious whacko with a capital W.
Paul is one of the few elected officials that has the courage to speak the truth.
This country in the the situation it is now becuase of folks like yourself identifying themselves as "conservative", when in fact, you have no idea what the term even means.
Showing up in church every sunday does not make one conservative. You seem to obsessed with Christianity or a liberal troll bent on making commenters here appear out of touch or deluded.
Becuase your comments surely are that.

If Paul attracts "guys" like yourself, then you can have him.
The country is in the shape it's in because you guys threw your votes away and let that man win the election.
Keep on going and we will have Obama 2.0.
No wonder you hate Sarah Palin so much.
She makes sense and you do not.
victor| 10.19.09 @ 8:33PM
You couldn't get enough Paulistas to fill a bowling alley, but scoff at Palin drawing 10's of thousands to hear her speak.
That's what's bugging you bunkey.
Sarah speaks to plain speaking Americans, while you need translators to figure out what you Liberalterriers are trying to say.
They said the same thing about GW and Truman.
Uneducated and inarticulate.
Carter was the smartest president, or so we're told, but he was the worst of the worst, 'cept for the Current Occupant.
You'll be damn lucky to have her as president.
James Boulder| 10.19.09 @ 3:55PM
I find it interesting that whenever a "Huckabee insider" is quoted they name is never used. Huckabee has backed several candidates that C for G has supported and that is about the dumbest thing excuse ever for saying Huckabee isn't endorsing. I also think it interesting that in my calling and asking that Huckabee was booked to speak at the event long before Hoffman was even considered to be running. That makes a huge difference in the reporting doesn't it. Second, Huckabee doesn't make paid speeches in which he endorses candidates. He makes paid speeches, and that is done through a speakers bureau and his PAC which books all things political (and he doesn't profit from) is where political endorsements are made. It is not hard to find these things out, you just have to call and ask. I think there is probably more to the story than is being reported (it is obvious) and it is not all that difficult to see or find out. As to Huckabee being vindictive, I am not one who finds fault with not supporting someone who worked hard against you when you were running to be vindictive. In fact, if that person's beliefs were so against you previously, explain to me how your beliefs could be so good for them? I am confused. I am not saying that is the case in this particular article, but rather in response to comments made here. The article just has the facts wrong and then uses an " insider" who probably wasn't ever an insider to create a new reasoning.
Voter| 10.19.09 @ 5:54PM
Huckabee hasn't endorsed ANYONE. He is staying out of messy NY politics, as he should. On the contrary, Gingrich has endorsed Scozofazza -- which is a completely different subject. Redstate decleared that Mike Pence was a REAL CONSERVATIVE because he is not circling the wagons for Scozafazzo. Well, neither is Huckabee.
Furthermore, who are all these "insiders"??? And as for CFG, they endorsed Rubio, but they weren't willing to contribute money to him when they didn't think he was doing so well. Only HuckPac did.
And, lastly, there is a certain former Huckabee "supporter" who got his nose out of joint because he wasn't the most incredibly important person on the team -- he now devotes every minute of his day -- and his unimpressive blog -- knocking Governor Huckabee any way he can. He is so insignificant -- I would really be shocked if he turns out to be Spectator's 'source."
Huckabee is standing aside, as is Romney, Palin, Pawlenty -- SO CUT IT OUT!!!! If you don't like Huckabee, fine -- but don't make up stories.
Margie| 10.19.09 @ 6:45PM
I agree. Don't make up stories. Just read the facts. Look at what these candidates actually stand for, and what they oppose. Huck's record speaks for itself though, and I can see it isn't a conservative one. No doubt the RINO'S love him, and and despise Sarah Palin.
Voter| 10.19.09 @ 5:58PM
Hey, Jim -- in Rasmussen's poll, Huckabee is leading Romney by 5 points when everyone is in. He leads Romney by 5 when it is just the two of them. And he leads Palin by 20 if it was between Huckabee and Palin.
Tell me again -- how does that make Huckabee the spoiler???
In your logic, Huckabee should remove himself from the race because he beats all the other candidates and "spoils" it for them????
victor| 10.19.09 @ 8:36PM
Of course, as with all polls, you need to know, who did they ask and what did they ask them.
bill| 10.19.09 @ 8:51PM
Why does Huckabee always take money for speeches to conservative groups? Huckabee always has his hand out. If Hoffman wants his endorsement, he'll have to cough up dough, just like everyone else.

Up here in Kanukistsan we have more Tamil Tigers than are left in their native land. They spent the summer obstructing traffic, including marching women and baby carriages onto an active freeway, thenwhen thepolice showed up, the women and babies formed a circle and the men crouched inside and dared the cops to do anything. As if Canadian cops would do anything anyway. The Tamil finally wore out their welcome and dwindled to a small group of pests outside the American Embassy. They are illegal here, but Canada is afraid to stop them. Now that Obama has embraced them, we can look forward to even more troublemaking. Google Streets view of Parliament Hill shows quite a crowd of Tamil flags. But I guess Obama is too busy bashing Bill O Reilly to notice his people are thugs.

Huchabee is despicable.

Being a proud owner of a watch is a wondrous thing that many take for granted. No one remembers back when things were simple and they had to call "time and temperature" to get an accurate time .

From the first watch with its round face to the tiny ring watches that sit delicately on your finger, they are truly a piece of history.Dating back to the 1800s up until now, watches have constantly have been moving forward and keeping us in time with the rest of the world. If you are looking to find out more about the history of the watch www.in-watch.com then you will want to look to the founder's of this wondrous invention.
It is amazing to see how the watch has evolved and the parts get smaller with each new watch on the market. There is a watch for every lifestyle and wardrobe so you can be stylish or simple anytime of the day or night.
