Republican presidential hopeful former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee speaks at a campaign stop at Greenville Technical College in Greenville, S.C. Friday, Jan. 18, 2008.
South Carolina GOP voters tomorrow MUST vote for Mike Huckabee.
Everyone knows Flap is a Rudy Giuliani guy. But, if John McCain wins tomorrow McCain may have enough built in momentum to challenge Rudy in Florida in a week. He may have enough Mo to win it all.
The same goes for Mitt Romney supporters. If you want Mitt to have a chance in Florida and Super Tuesday you MUST vote for Mike Huckabee tomorrow.
Do NOT let John McCain win the GOP nomination. McCain will continue to be detrimental to the Republican Party.
So, Flap agrees with Patrick Ruffini completely.
Rudy and Romney supporters vote Huckabee tomorrow.

Republican presidential hopeful, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney argues with AP Reporter Glemn Johnson during a media availability at a Staples store in Columbia, S.C., Thursday, Jan. 17, 2008.
Mitt Romney blows up but the AP reporter is correct. Ron Kaufman, a senior Romney campaign adviser is a registered lobbyist.
Kaufman, the former White House political director for President George H.W. Bush and a lobbyist at the Dutko Group, is a senior adviser to the Romney campaign. He frequently travels with Romney and is intimately involved with the campaign.
Romney, however, parsed his words, angrily telling Johnson that Kaufman doesn’t actually run the campaign.
“I said I don’t have lobbyists running my campaign and he’s not running my campaign,” said Romney, adding that Beth Myers is his campaign manager and she runs the campaign.
But in fact, Romney does employ lobbyists at his campaign and he has lobbyists who advise him regularly on a volunteer basis as he seeks the Republican nomination for president.
- For instance, Thomas D. Rath is a senior adviser who helped guide Romney through the byways of New Hampshire politics. Rath, the former attorney general of New Hampshire, is also a registered lobbyist who represents clients in New England and nationally.
- Former Rep. Vin Weber is a lobbyist at Clark & Weinstock, and he’s the policy chairman for the Romney campaign.
- Barbara Comstock, a communications consultant and frequent spokesperson for Romney on television, is a lobbyist at Corallo Comstock.
- Caeser Conda is an economic policy adviser and a lobbyist at DC Navigators.
- And Warren Tompkins is Romney’s South Carolina consultant, as well as a lobbyist.
Another Mitt Romney spin and lie.
Add this one to the list of Flip-Flops, Lies and Oddities:
Remember:
For the working press it may be one lie too many.
It had been a long time coming. In Michigan, the frustration over Romney’s complete disingeniousness about “bringing your jobs back” conjured a rare degree of camaraderie, and we caucused together and came up with a list of questions that we agreed to ask no matter who got called on at the next press conference. For instance: “If Bain Capital was going to invest in the auto industry, what segment would it invest in, and how would that help Michigan?” Salon’s Mike Madden actually got that in, but it elicited a non-answer: “I’ve been out of the private sector too long to advise people on that kind of thing.” In other words, his experience in the private sector is relevant, until he’s called upon to use it.
For Flap, Romney’s disingenuous nature and his outright dishonesty would negate any possibility he would EVER vote for the man.

Rudy Giuliani Television Ad, “It Matters”
Rudy Giuliani plays to Florida ex-pat New Yorkers in his latest television ad aimed for the West Palm Beach Market.
The script:
“When corruption ruled, he challenged it.â€
(Black and white images of organized crime leaders.)
“When welfare failed, he changed it.â€
(Images of stock tables.)
“When crime thrived, he fought it.â€
(Grainy images of a chain link fence and maybe a gun?)
“When government broke, he fixed it.â€
(An “XXX video†sign and a government-looking building.)
“And when the world wavered. And history hesitated. He never did.â€
(The Twin Towers, a candle, Mr. Giuliani in a dust mask.)
“Rudy Giuliani. Leadership. When it matters most.â€
The Mayor returns to Eastern Florida this afternoon with events in Cape Canaveral and Titusville.
**********
Remember the Giuliani campaign needs your support. Media is expensive, especially in Super Tuesday February 5 states like California.

Mitt Romney signing an American Flag in South Carolina yesterday
You bet.
- The laws relating to the flag of the United States of America are found in detail in the United States Code. Title 4, Chapter 1 pertains to the flag; Title 18, Chapter 33, Section 700 regards criminal penalties for flag desecration; Title 36, Chapter 3 pertains to patriotic customs and observances. These laws were supplemented by Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations.
From the United States Code:
§3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court. The words “flag, standard, colors, or ensign”, as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America. (Flap’s emphasis)
Mitt Romney, in fact, committed a misdemeanor crime if he had been in the District of Columbia.
Romney should know better.
Mitt should apologize immediately.

Hillary Clinton is playing the “GENDER CARD” and Barack Obama is playing the “RACE CARD.”
And, note the lawsuit in Nevada which was thrown out yesterday by a Nevada federal judge was all about disenfranchising hispanic culinary workers in the casinos. The culinary union endorsed Obama When will the Democrats stick to the issues?
Not soon……
