From NBC/NJ's Erin McPikeJOHNSTON, Iowa&amp;nbsp;-- As Romney winds his way in and around Des Moines today at “house party huddles” with his supporters, it’s Huckabee who is really on his mind.

You notice that in this new ad that he said he wasn't going to show while showing it to everyone in the room he does not defend his own record but only attacks Romneys character. Romney could very easily defend evry charge Huckabee brings up in his ad.

You have no idea how much more Romney is a man of the &amp;quot;cloth&amp;quot; than Huck. Even if that were the question in place, it has nothing to do with anything. Romney CLEARLY does not criticize the character of his opponents in his ads, merely highlights their differences in policy. You're being too brainwashed in the Bible belt community down there that you're seeing fuzzy.

&amp;nbsp;Mitt RAISED more than all the other Rebuplican candidates. &amp;nbsp;Of course he added some of his own money, because he believes in his campaign. &amp;nbsp;If others will contribute, so will he. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All this whining is just a form of jealousy. &amp;nbsp;Mike Huckabee's true colors are showing and they are not a pretty site. &amp;nbsp;He vaulted his campaign based on his religion, then complained when people called him on it. &amp;nbsp;He played the religion card again in an interview and whined again when he was called. &amp;nbsp;Now he whines because Romney showed others how his record compared with his (nothing personal). &amp;nbsp;Huckabee came out of nowhere and his record was virtually unknown. &amp;nbsp;Being the darling of the media, they weren't going to educate anyone. &amp;nbsp;I think what Romney did was fair. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All Huckabee had to do in return (if he thought it was distorted) was to explain why he did certain things and what the context was, period--done with. &amp;nbsp;Instead, he goes on a several week rant about how Romney outspends him 20 to 1 (I think he brings this up at every meeting) and he is dishonest, and he is mean, and he bloats his resume. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;HEY MIKE--JUST ANSWER THE CHARGES, MOVE ON, AND STOP WHINING!!! &amp;nbsp;I considered supporting Huckabee at one point, but he's proven the rumors are true that he is thin-skinned and petty. &amp;nbsp;Definitely not Presidential material.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Romney isn't perfect, but at least he is cordial and doesn't get personal. &amp;nbsp;He sticks to the issues and at least has class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I studied Mike Huckabee's &amp;quot;Non-releasable Attack Ad&amp;quot; and every issue is taken out of context. &amp;nbsp;And this is what he accused Romney of (actually he basically called him a liar instead of simply clarifying the record).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mike Huckabee=The Height of Hypocracy (and everyone was there to witness it)</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#542968</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 01:28:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:542968</guid><dc:creator>Chad, New York</dc:creator><description>Patrick, it's a shame to see a fellow New Yorker fooled by that lying preacher.&lt;br&gt;Vote intelligently. &amp;nbsp;Vote Romney. &amp;nbsp;Look what he did for Massachussetts. &amp;nbsp;What exactly did Huckabee do for Arkansas?

&amp;nbsp;I think Romney's success (as seen by how profitable his business has been) qualifies him better than Huckabee's frugal little charade. &amp;nbsp;Let Huckabee go back to what he knows best-using God's name to tell people what he thinks they should do (i.e. be a preacher). &amp;nbsp;Romeny is much better prepared, much better qualified, and has much better credentials. &amp;nbsp;As does Guiliani, Hillary, and Obama. &amp;nbsp;In fact, Huckabee is the worst candidate running. &amp;nbsp;I'd rather vote for Al Gore (who isn't even running) than Huckabee. &amp;nbsp;But finally, as a true New Yorker, I find it disgusting that you do not support your own. &amp;nbsp;Hillary and Guiliani have both done a lot for you and you reject them for that lying preacher in Arkansas who has done nothing for you, and if elected, would do nothing but embarrass you for having supported him.</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#542969</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 01:34:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:542969</guid><dc:creator>Dickie Flatts, Charlotte, NC</dc:creator><description>Lies are serious things too Mitt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So take your &amp;quot;varmint&amp;quot; gun and go &amp;quot;stand&amp;quot; with King.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The only good thing about Mitt is if he disagrees with you today he may agree with you tomorrow.</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543018</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:18:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543018</guid><dc:creator>Daniel Dinnell, Sparks, NV</dc:creator><description>Romney has a sophisticated understanding of the challenges we face in the global economy. &amp;nbsp;He's been a highly successful leader in business, and understands the importance of people, organization, research, planning, communication and direction. &amp;nbsp;While Governor of the mostly Democrat Massachusetts, he brought the fractured constituencies together and they became the first state with universal health care that seems to work. &amp;nbsp;He took no salary at all as Governor because he had enough of his own. &amp;nbsp;He lowered MA state “taxes”, though increased “fees” in areas necessary. &amp;nbsp;He increased penalties on drunk driving. &amp;nbsp;Never supported the release of criminals convicted of serious crimes. &amp;nbsp;Never was first to bring up religion. &amp;nbsp;Kept his promise not to attack anyone’s cherished right to choice of lifestyle or abortion. &amp;nbsp;How dare he do his job well and for no pay on top of it! &amp;nbsp;When the Salt Lake City Olympics crumbled under corruption and scandal he went to Salt Lake, took over for a one dollar salary, saved the Olympics and made it profitable. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;He led a massive security mobilization at the Olympics in the wake of the 9/11 attack and, as governor, helped build up Massachusetts' homeland security efforts. &amp;nbsp;I can certainly understand left wingers hating Romney, after all he's been married to the same woman and when she got MS he didn't abandon her. &amp;nbsp;He's from a close knit family and values family first. &amp;nbsp;He is concerned about “illegal” immigration and what it means to the security of the United States. &amp;nbsp;Regarding his flip-flopping on big issues? &amp;nbsp;Everyone, and really everyone in politics makes mistakes, gets to change their mind once, and most seem to do it more than once. &amp;nbsp;Stand all of the candidates up next to each other in a direct comparison and then vote for the best person to make good change and run the country in the right direction.</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543051</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:48:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543051</guid><dc:creator>Ward Ciac</dc:creator><description>To the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers (permission hereby granted to sing at services): &lt;br&gt;Onward Christian soldiers, marching off to war, to Huckabee the victory, watch his poll numbers soar! &lt;br&gt;Lo the tide turns outward, lo the angels sing, Merry Christmas one and all, Huckabee's christening!&lt;br&gt;Help the straddling Christian, those who sit the fence, bring them to the polling place, give them recompense!&lt;br&gt;Hark the canvas caller, hark the new debate, o'er the towns flies Huckabee, caucus in his gait.&lt;br&gt;Onward Christian Soldiers, marching off for thee, now the trumpets sounding, President Huckabee!</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543052</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:50:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543052</guid><dc:creator>S.B.

'Buy-out firms,' &amp;quot;if you will&amp;quot;/Romney's newest over-used cliche'/ cripple a company, forcing its stock prices to fall, then buy up the stock until they own controlling interest, just to turn around and sell the company, often to foreign interests, as high as the market allows, creating a hefty profit for themselves at the expense of lost jobs/lost wages for thousands of Americans. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you buy Romney calling his &amp;quot;buy-out firm&amp;quot; an &amp;quot;investment firm&amp;quot; he has more &amp;quot;Romney-tales&amp;quot; he'll sell you, too. It will only cost you 'America as we know it' for future generations. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just because Romney can make a buck in the business world does NOT add up to being a leader of government. PLEASE check out Romney's Terrible Record as Massachusetts' governor. If Romney could NOT manage a small state, he sure CAN'T manage 50 states and the MYRIAD urgent PROBLEMS immediately facing the next president. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For those of you who don't know by now, during Romney's 4 years a governor, Massacusetts: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Was the ONLY STATE to post ZERO GAIN in EMPLOYEED RESIDENTS &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Was 3RD from the BOTTOM in CREATING NEW JOBS (would've been 2ND from the BOTTOM but Louisiana was destroyed by Katrina) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Massachusetts' median home price ROSE 95% !! (40% for the nation for the same period) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;222,000 !! MORE residents moved OUT of the fair state than moved in, during Romney's 4 years--the ONLY thing that kept MA's unemployment rates down. &lt;br&gt;(Center for Market Studies, Northwestern University, Boston Globe, 07/29/07). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Romney allowed his office to fund: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gay/Lesbian SEX-ED--WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT OR NOTIFICATION--for Grade School children AS YOUNG AS KINDERGARTEN. &lt;br&gt;Again, Romney didn't have to fund this, but he did. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;'Dances' for CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 12 to 'meet up' with ADULT Gays/Lesbians/Transgenders/Bi-Sexuals. &lt;br&gt;Romney didn't have to fund these, but he did. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CHILDREN'S gay-pride-type parades where ADULT gays/lesbians... off the streets WERE ALLOWED TO JOIN IN, in full regalia. &lt;br&gt;Romney didn't have to do this, but he did. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BE SURE to check out &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.massresistance.org"&gt;http://www.massresistance.org&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;This is a Massachusetts Conservative group. &lt;br&gt;Click on &amp;quot;The Romney Deception&amp;quot; and other links down the pages for indepth, documented report of 'Romney's Reign' over Massachusetts. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;HOW do Romney's business practices make a STRONGER AMERICA for the thousands of Americans who lose their jobs or are forced to take cuts in pay because of Romney's 'forced buy-outs' ?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;HOW does Massachusetts' failing record during Romney-years recommend him for BUILDING A STRONGER AMERICAN ECONOMY ?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WHO thinks Romney's funding of 'gay/lesbian children's programs' helped raise FAMILY VALUES for THOSE American families, THOSE American children ?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If Romney canNOT maintain his composure when people just ask him questions regarding the religion HE BROUGHT into his campaign--NOT forthright with American voters in his religious claims (as in other 'Romney-claims'), without becoming hot under the collar, wound tight-ready to leave the room, impatient, rude, a vile name-caller, He SURE WON'T be able to hold up under the BIG-DOG Purposeful insults in the BIG-BOY International Political arena. THEY SURE WON'T care if Romney pouts or turns red in the face. Romney won't be able to hide behind the word 'religion' when he is being hounded and REALLY-persecuted by WORLD-media for Every political AND personal, religious, move he makes/AND the moves of his family--their good, never good enough and their bad, very bad. How often will America have to be embarrassed by Romney swinging his arms around stammering, red-faced, when THE WORLD doesn't see things his way? He WON'T be able vaunt, or to hide behind his RELIGION then, which has served him so well during his campaign. The WORLD won't care about Romney's religion, REGARDLESS the many LDS prophecies about LDS taking over the world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mike Huckabee was elected 4 TIMES to serve his state. And he left Arkansas in BETTER shape, for his time served. Instead of a long list of American companies he as shut down or sold out to foreign interests, he (and his wife) have a very long list of serving their community, their state--doing good simply for the sake of doing good. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John McCain also has a very long, very honorable, resume' of service to his country. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think, America. This is the most important American presidential election in generations. Our next president MUST hit the ground running, able and ready to hold up Under Extreme Pressures on the home-front AND the international stage. We need to choose someone with Exceptional past governmental experience who is Level-Headed, who holds up under fire, who has Proven to NOT be a fickle-fly-by-night-power-monger, whose WORD withstands harsh scrutiny, who has already Proven to put America First. This is NOT Willard Mitt Romney. </description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543142</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 04:29:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543142</guid><dc:creator>Brandon Heath, Tampa Bay, Fla</dc:creator><description>Huckabee is a whining baby who doesn't have any real retorts for Romney's ads - so he's disgracefully BEGGING Baptists to ignore his horrendous Arkansas record and vote for him anyway. &amp;nbsp;Come on Iowans, vote for the intelligent candidate who actually has a chance to win!</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543151</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 04:38:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543151</guid><dc:creator>Jerry Sturgeon, Little Rock, Ark</dc:creator><description>Huckabee is a whining baby - NOT a president. &amp;nbsp;He may fooling those idiots from Iowa... but Guiliani will win in the end.</description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543198</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 06:15:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543198</guid><dc:creator>Lynne, Arlington, TX</dc:creator><description>I've made up my mind! &amp;nbsp;I am voting for Romney and no one can stop me!

Certainly not like those requested by Romney's 'organization' of his 'church' leadership--to round up nation-wide organizational support for Romney's campaign. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the same YouTube piece, of Hatch defending Romney's campaign contacting LDS Church leadership, in a conversation regarding &amp;nbsp;a certain newspaper, Hatch mentions &amp;quot;THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID OF ROMNEY...&amp;quot; WHY, in 2007-08 should ANY Newspaper be AFRAID of Romney? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is NOT the 1800s, when LDS leaders ordered the destruction of the printing press and newspaper (Nauvoo Expositor)of a dissenting LDS member who reported on the many women of some of these LDS, and other inner-workings of the POLITICS of the LDS leadership. This has been a 'political' organization from its beginnings. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As history records, LDS is the only 'church' 'organizaion' to raise up its own militias, armies, and secret death squad (the &amp;quot;Danites&amp;quot;) against U.S. citizens and troops, more than once--just out of recent memory. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mitt Romney is a 'High Priest' in the LDS 'priesthood authority' 'organization.'&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PARLEY PRATT, of whom Mitt Romney boasts descendance, proclaimed the 'organization' of this 'LDS Priesthood,' of which Mitt Romney is 'High Priest,' HOLDS THE POWER AND RIGHT to GIVE LAWS TO RULERS, NATIONS, AND THE WORLD, TO ESTABLISH CONSTITUTIONS AND KINGDOMS AND APPOINT KINGS, PRESIDENTS, GOVERNORS AND JUDGES (&amp;quot;Key to the Science of Theology,&amp;quot; p.66)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another boasted that 'this organization' THE WORLD CALLS 'MORMONISM' WILL RULE EVERY NATION (eg [LDS]Journal of Discourses,vol.7, p.53).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most certainly, America's voters should consider the 'POLITICS' of the LDS 'organization.' THEY most certainly do. </description></item><item><title>Romney continues to rap Huckabee</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542722.aspx#543299</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 13:47:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:543299</guid><dc:creator>Sane in Ut</dc:creator><description>daleesp's best argument is that Romney tried to fix a huge budget deficit and not at the exspense of the average household?

To read what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really believes you should look up www.lds.org. It might clear up those misunderstandings you have. What is really unfortunate though, is that people are making attacks on religious beliefs. Sad.
