Patriot Quote

"It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition."

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785

Huckabee rips (NRSC) Endorsement!

1. According to The Hill, Governor Huckabee didn't hold back on the NRSC's endorsement of Governor Charlie Crist. Here is what they are reporting.

Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (R) on Tuesday lit into the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for endorsing Gov. Charlie Crist over another Republican in Florida’s open Senate race.

Huckabee announced his official support for former state House Speaker Marco Rubio (R) in a video Tuesday. In an interview with The Hill, he criticized the NRSC for turning its back on a true conservative.

“I’m disgusted that they would take a position in a hotly contested race when you have a quality candidate like Marco Rubio, who was the youngest Speaker in the Florida House,” Huckabee said. “This is not just some nameless, faceless guy that decided to throw his name in, who had no chance and no credibility.”

He continued: “I thought that their endorsement not only was premature, but was outrageous. And they ought to get behind the guy who would do a whole lot more, in my mind, to unite and fire up Republicans, and that’s Marco Rubio.”

Huckabee declined to comment directly on Crist, who has drawn some heat from conservative Republicans unhappy with his support for President Obama’s stimulus legislation and other centrist positions.

But Huckabee did allude to that support in talking about his endorsement of Rubio.

“The establishment Republicans have made this endorsement for the same reason that they’re in so much trouble,” Huckabee said. “They go out there and support stuff like TARP bills and stimulus packages, pork-barrel spending and huge debt, and they wring their hands and act like, 'This is not good, but we don’t have a choice.' " Crist held a fundraiser at NRSC headquarters Monday. Present were a high number of GOP senators, including Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), John Thune (S.D.), John Cornyn (Texas), John McCain (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Kit Bond (Mo.), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Jim Risch (Idaho), Mel Martinez (Fla.), Bob Bennett (Utah) and John Barrasso (Wyo.).

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) recently came out in support of Rubio.

They never look at who would be best qualified but who they think might win. From what I have read, Rubio is a much better candidate than Crist who is looking more and more like a Democrat every day.

What say you?
