Mike Huckabee Hates Ted Kennedy

Well, no, not really. But you know you’re going to have the Democrat party and state run media outlets like NBC News and the New York Times demagoging Republicans any time they say the words “Ted Kennedy” without saying the word “saint” before it.

And just wait until Sarah Palin says the word “Kennedy.” Chris Mathews might implode.

This of course ignores the fact the Nancy Pelosi waited a full hour after he past before she used his name to push ObamaCare or fund raise, or HuffPo saying that Mary Jo Kopechne would have been proud of Teddy’s career. Yet if anyone sneezes without saying “Kennedy Bless You,” the media is going to go apeshit.

This is where Mike Huckabee comes in. On his radio show, he said the following…

Friday Five: ObamaCare

Sometimes I wake up on Friday Morning to tired or hungover to blog, and on days like that we have the “Friday Five.” In a nutshell, five articles I would opine on if I felt like it, but are still mad important for people to read. Today, all ObamaCare, all the time…

Obama Targets Medicare Advantage
Already, an estimated 10.2 million seniors—one out of five in America—have enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Mr. Obama is proposing to cut the program by nearly 20% and thus reduce the amount of money each will have to buy insurance. This will likely force most of them to lose the insurance they have now. Yet Mr. Obama promised in late July in New Hampshire that, “if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan.”

Obama’s Health Rationer-in-Chief
The health bills being pushed through Congress put important decisions in the hands of presidential appointees like Dr. Emanuel. They will decide what insurance plans cover, how much leeway your doctor will have, and what seniors get under Medicare. Dr. Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, has already been appointed to two key positions: health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of the Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research. He clearly will play a role guiding the White House’s health initiative.

NY GOP to Rudy: “Help!”

Being the prominent voice in the New York Republican Party that I am (stop laughing Simon), I can say that we all anxiously wait the decision in 30 to 60 days as to whether or not Rudy Giuliani is going to run for Governor.

Like I said a few days ago, it’ll be tough for any Republican to run even if they are our best chance. The NY power base is all in the five boroughs, and five boroughs along with the NY Democrat Party are a wholly owned subsidiary of the labor unions, who make all the decisions. Case in point, as incompetent as current Gov. David Patterson is, he’s still up a point over former congressman Rick Lazio in recent polls.

The place where Rudy needs to really turn out the vote is in the suburbs, which is exactly where we need his help the most, not just in the governors race, but also in the congressional and local election where Giuliani at the top of the ticket would really help turn out voters.

Two of our top prospects for congress have even start to speak out. First there’s Greg Ball, running in the NY-19…

Mitt Romney for Massachusetts Senate?

I wouldn’t call this the dumbest idea I’ve heard but it has to rank in the Top 5, or as Patrick Ruffini said, “People talking about Romney for Senate as if it were a realistic possibility are unfit to talk about politics.”

But yeah, apparently some cat from US News and World Report was pontificating aboot what a great idea is would be if Mitt Romney ran for Senate in the upcoming Massachusetts special election, and how it would be great for is probable Presidential run in 2012…

If he did, Romney would then have a platform to actually introduce legislation modeled on the proposals he put forward as a presidential candidate in 2008 and planned to put forward in 2012. No guesswork. No empty rhetoric. Real ideas, on the Senate floor, that could be evaluated, debated, and perhaps even voted on…As an added political benefit, it would give him the opportunity to establish true conservative bona fides allowing him to finally overcome the suspicions many conservatives in the GOP’s primary electorate still harbor about him. Rather than tie him down, Romney could actually use the Senate seat to lock up the GOP nomination in 2012.

Where to begin…
