THE HUCK ATTACK

When President Bill Clinton chastised the Hawkeyes for not electing his wife, billary, and lashed out at the granite state for seeming to follow suite, electing a black man over his weeping white wife, he officially opened the gates not only for negativity, but for fear mongering. Now The Consultant, Giuliani, a mayor who has based his whole campaign on his management of the 9/11 crisis, has elevated the fear mongering to new heights with a new battery of ads.




Scaring the votes out of us will not work; all they have to do is stick to the truth: If the impending recession is not bad enough with the foreclosures themselves worse than 50 Katrina’s, with millions of Americans displaced from their homes and others loosing their investments overnight through evaporated equity resulting from their neighbor’s foreclosure, the high cost of food and energy and the inflation that has gripped the country, then the candidates are running for the wrong job.

We have Arabians and Chinese literally buying us out of our country in a back door assault to our sovereignty by investing heavily into our fledgling financial institutions which own the foreclosed mortgages. These foreign investors are not entirely transparent and one should seriously question the auterior motives behind their flamboyant investments. Just like the terrorists used our planes to attack us on 9/11 these foreigners are using our economy against us. It's a shame that some candidates are even consulting with them to facilitate the whole process. Others have received noticeable campaign contributions from the marauding investors.

With several important issues that merit debate such as healthcare, gun control, saving social security, education, the list goes on and on, the candidates should succinctly elaborate their policies rather than attack each others fallacies. Last night’s debate in Charleston, SC. provided yet another opportunity for the candidates to showcase their ideas and policies for the next administration, but they opted to go at each other instead.

Morning Joe presented Huckaboom an opportunity to pick up from where he left last night. “The Huck Attack”, Huckaboom’s rebuttal to Hollywood’s attacks couldn’t have come at a better time. Either Hollywood, Thompson, was menstruating or had an upset stomach, either way you view it, he was in a bad mood. Hollywood woke up from his habitual slumber with a hatchet in hand and liberally wielded it on Huckaboom’s head, accusing him of everything from being a liberal to belonging in the “blame America first club”. While I like and respect Hollywood Fred, I was taken a back by his attacks, given the fact that he aspires to lead America and not just the red states. In a time when we need unification, it is disheartening to see our leaders attacking each other on who is more conservative than the other. One is almost forced to conclude that Hollywood was out doing McCain’s bidding, attacking the Huckster relentlessly.



The truth is that Huckabee is the candidate to beat and Hollywood understands that his campaign’s future depends on his success in South Carolina. On the other hand, The Amoeba was relentlessly going at Lazarus. The Amoeba, Romney, having pulled his resources from all the other states in favor of Michigan, feels compelled to hit Lazarus, McCain, with everything he has to counter the recent surge in polls that show him on the lead. While The Amoeba has the money to go the distance, his crippled fundraising will take a nose-dive if he does not deliver Michigan. Heck, his whole campaign which was predicated on his winning the 1st two states, IA. and NH. will definitely vanish like a fart in the wind.

It’s unfortunate that the Huckaboom-Lazarus marriage is coming to a hem before they terminally knock out The Consultant, Giuliani, out of contention; nevertheless The Huckster rolls on and his victory is nigh.
