Ha!

American Research Group:
Iowa
12/16 - 12/19

Huckabee McCain Romney Giuliani Thompson Paul

28 --------20 -------17 --------13 ----------5 ---------4

Huckabee +8.0, McCain in 2nd, Romney in 3d!


This is pleasing to me. I have no idea if the poll is right, they do seem to be all over the place, but it's fun at least for today. My arguments are almost totally a mere extention of my feelings to most of the people in Iowa, that Romney can't be trusted, and that there's nothing about him that can excite, in that his great ambition the last year seems to have been to buy two states. Of course that's in a context of the very great ambition to become president, but the focus, the means, the strategy is so tiny in vision that he simply puts people to sleep. Men who have evident passion, like McCain and Huckabee, at least excite a debate.

Note:
I just heard on the Medved show that McCain has just come out with a 15 second Merry Christmas ad in which he recounts a story from his POW days when one of his guards, on Christmas, humanly sympathetic to his suffering, loosens the ropes binding him, and silently, in empathetic understanding of McCain's faith, draws a cross in the sand, and that's shown happening in memory behind McCain as he speaks. How is McCain going to deny that? That aint no bookcase, it darn near looks like McCain meant to show a cross being drawn on the sand. Has he no Decency! Does he not realize it is immoral and unconstitutional for a politician to speak and at the same time have a cross in the background? This can not stand. Americans will realize how vicious it is to actually be a Christian on Christmas. His poll numbers will plummet.

Note two:
Huckabee was viciously attacked for pulling just such a stunt. While giving a short Christmas message there appeared to be a lit cross behind him, and in addition to that clearly visible cross-like light, he spoke of the "birth of Christ", and he did that on Christmas! Can you believe that. "He has gone to far" it is said of him, he has defiled our sacred Constitutional right to be free of Christ on Christmas.

And I note that Romney, when giving his "religion" speech, in which he told me it would be unconstitutional for me to consider his religion when casting my vote, spoke in front of a backdrop of many, many American flags, and for this he was considered a patriot, and "okay" religious.

It would be my assertion that if the day ever comes when the American flag does not necessarily imply the cross then on that day to speak before flags is merely to extol the state over man. The American flag, without the cross, might as well be just the Hammer and Sickle, or a Swastika.
