Can You See Through the Deception?

This election cycle seems to be based on Clintonian style campaigning. Deception seems to be the rule of the day.

Mike Huckabee claimed to have a degree in Theology. Wrong! He has a BA in Radio and Television Communications and 1 year of Seminary before dropping out to work with a Televangelist. He did later attend another Seminary where he received a BA in Biblical Studies… That’s NOT a Theology degree.

He embraces The Fair Tax… Now… But as Governor of Arkansas he raised taxes on Arkansans 47% and implemented nanny state style restrictions through the use of the tax system. That seems to be liberal tactics. He also increased spending more than Billy Bob did as Governor. But yet he wants you to perceive that he’s a conservative. Sorry… Thanks for playing.

Mitt Romney also claims Conservative credentials in spite of his waffling on abortion. He claims to have been strong on illegal immigration while Governor of Massachusetts in spite of the fact that Boston and Cambridge remain sanctuary cities and illegals were caring for his own lawn.

Rudy Giuliani wants you to believe that his social liberalism is offset by his strong national security credentials. What national security credentials? He was the mayor of a city. He’d like you to believe that being mayor of New York is equivilant to being the governor of a state. Not so. As mayor of New York he did not have to coordinate with mayors of different cities on state policy. He did not command an army (after all, the National Guard forces are a state’s army until federalized by the President of the United States) or state police force. His efforts to gain control of New York’s out of control crime problem and response to the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center aside, that does not reach the level of national security that he might want you to believe.

More important than his crime fighting skills which we would expect him to have as a former US Attorney in the US Justice Department, his social liberalism is a problem. His ideas about gun control conflict with the Party line. His ideas on homosexual marriage conflict with the Party line. And finally his ideas on abortion conflict with Party line. No Republican should be considering voting for this Democrat in Republican clothing.

Ron Paul claims to be a Constitutionalist in spite of the fact that it is obvious that he’s never read the document. He claims that the President has prosecuted an illegal war in Iraq in spite of the fact that Congress authorized the President to use what ever means to bring Iraq into compliance with UN Resolutions. Not to mention that Article II of the US Constitution makes the President of the United States Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America. As Commander-in-Chief, he has the ability to deploy his troops as he sees fit. Congress has the power granted under Article I to declare actual war and to either fund or not fund the President’s military operations.

Rep. Paul might be spot on when it comes to pork spending versus the Constitution but he is in left field when it comes to national security.

All three of the Democratic Front Runners are easy to pick apart on their deceptions.

John Edwards runs around the country decrying the need to re-institute “Great Society” style programs that didn’t work the first time they were tried. A trial lawyer who during his career accomplished more to raise the cost of health care in this country than any government policy who now is advocating government controlled and funded national health care. A wealthy individual who owns a nearly 300,000 square foot mansion across the road from a mobile home park which he has never visited but in the same breath as advocating universal health care decries the plight of the poor. If he were so concerned with the poor why then has he not attempted to ease the burden of his poor neighbors? I guess he was too busy getting $400 haircuts and adding on to his enormous house.

Barack Obama claims to have the backing of a few hundred ministers who are now saying that isn’t so. What else is Mr. Obama lying about? Not to mention like John Edwards, Mr. Obama is advocating a return to failed Great Society programs. Why would we want that?

Hillary claims to be the most experienced candidate in either Party. Problem, the New York Times exposed that deception yesterday. She did not have a security clearance. She did not attend any national security briefings. She was not privy to the National Intelligence Estimate. And at one point was barely even speaking the man she now claims that she was an adviser to during his Infestation of the People’s Mansion.

So can you see through the deception?

Only one candidate has not resorted to using deception in order to gain your support. Fred Dalton Thompson.

The man who has been successful at every thing that he’s ever done needs your support. Visit Fred08 and support Fred in his efforts to bring honesty and Conservatism back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Support for any other candidate returns this nation to the Clintonian Infestation Part II.
