Photos from the Gov. Huckabee Get Out The Vote Rally for Karen Diebel today

It was wonderful to see Governor Huckabee today.  He is a fantastic speaker and a super-nice guy...if you ever have a chance to see him in person, I strongly encourage you to do so.

Today, Huckabee was in town for several of our Republican candidates, including Bill McCollum, and he stopped by the Get Out The Vote Rally for Karen Diebel that was held at the Life Orlando Church on Colonial Drive.  Here are some photos from the event (click on any of the images to enlarge):

Huckabee: "I consider it a privilege to be here with Karen Diebel today...I'm a Florida resident and if I lived in this district, I'd be voting for Karen Diebel!"

Thanks to everyone who joined us today!  We had a wonderful time and I know Karen appreciates all the support.

UPDATE: I only had my Blackberry with me, so my pictures aren't the best.  Frank Torres took much better photos with his camera, and you can see them on his blog here.

Huckabee Responds to Desperate, Personal Attacks by Craig Miller

I'll have some more thoughts on this later, but Craig Miller has sunk to an unbelievable, absolutely despicable low this week, with a mailer he sent out quoting the liberal, anti-growth, controversial Winter Park City Commissioners Margie Bridges and Beth Dillaha engaging in false and nasty attacks against Karen Diebel.  Any Republican who quotes Beth Dillaha as an authority on anything needs to turn in their membership card, and probably needs to have their head examined.   

Here's one of the Huckabee calls he recorded last week for Karen Diebel, who he endorsed in June.  Despite the vicious lies and desperate efforts from Karen's opponents, Huckabee has continued to be a strong supporter of Karen's campaign.

"Yes We Can!" Well, Obama can't, but ordinary American citizens can

Here's a follow up from my post last weekend about some people with potential solutions to the oil spill on the Mike Huckabee show.  Smart Girl Politics has posted some additional commentary, along with video from the show.  Watch and get outraged.

Mike Huckabee on Obama looking for an a** to kick

On his Huckabee TV show tonight, Mike Huckabee mentioned that he was offended by President Obama saying that he was looking for an a** to kick - not so much because of the profanity (he said he'd heard worse), but instead because of the arrogance and ineptitude that statement revealed:

Ronald Reagan was often maligned because he was an actor who became President, but I believe that's a whole lot better than being a President who has become an actor - playing the role in make believe but not understanding that the real job is not delivering lines from the teleprompter, but delivering a solution.

The more I hear about our government and BP refusing help from other countries and people here with good ideas (anyone who has watched Hannity or Huckabee this week has seen several solutions that are not being used), ignoring the desperate pleas from the governments of the Gulf States (Bobby Jindal especially comes to mind), the angrier I get.  

I'm sitting here right now watching Huckabee chat with several guys from Ft. Walton Beach with the sweetest Southern accents (one guy is even wearing overalls, love it!) showing how very easy it is to absorb oil with hay and recycled carpet fibers.  These guys aren't scientists.  They haven't won any Nobel prizes.  They just know farming, construction, fishing, etc. and they care about our beaches.  

Why is BP continuing to ignore these ideas?  Why is the White House looking for an a** to kick instead of getting boots on the ground to protect our beaches?  Is it because Obama knows he's never going to get electoral votes in Louisiana?  Is it anti-Southern prejudice?  Is it ignorance or ineptitude?  I want answers!

Our economy is still in trouble.  Wasn't the stimulus supposed to create jobs?  I know a lot of the stimulus funds are still unallocated and unspent.  Why can't we use that to hire temporary workers to work on assembling berms, rescuing wildlife, and cleaning the beaches?  

It's one thing to tax our economy off the cliff or enact an unconstitutional health care bill we can't afford, but the horrifying destruction of our beautiful Gulf coast beaches and wetlands and the complete lack of action and leadership from the White House is absolutely unforgivable.   

Cool updates from my endorsed candidates

Here's some updates from some of my endorsed candidates:

Jason Brodeur, running for State House District 33, Lori Halbert, running for State House District 31, John Horan, running for Seminole County Commissioner, Teresa Jacobs, running for Orange County Mayor, David Simmons, running for State Senate District 22, and  Jennifer Thompson, running for Orange County Commissioner, have qualified for the ballot by petition.  This is a showing of true grassroots support and a well-organized campaign.  Congrats!

Karen Diebel, running for Congress (District FL-24), and Mike Horner, State House 79, both announced this week that they had received the endorsement of Mike Huckabee and Huck PAC.

A.A. Ladan, a former prosecutor running for Seminole County Judge, received the endorsement of Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Lawson Lamar.

Karen Diebel, Mike Horner, Marco Rubio, and Jason Brodeur all won the Orange County Young Republican straw polls held in the past two months.

Karen Diebel endorsed by Governor Huckabee

Karen Diebel announced today that Governor Mike Huckabee and Huck PAC had endorsed her in the Florida District 24 Congressional race.  Here's what Huckabee had to say about the endorsement: 

Huck PAC and I are pleased to endorse Karen Diebel. As a mother of three young boys, Karen knows first hand what it means to uphold America’s traditional family values. Karen will be an active advocate, not just a silent vote, for our pro-life values...our second amendment rights, securing our borders and developing our energy independence.

Karen understands that in order to see an incredible economic future, we need to transform our tax code, which is why Karen is a strong supporter of the Fair Tax. Karen Diebel knows what it takes to run a business and has actually created jobs for Floridians. I hope you will join me in making Karen Diebel the next Congresswoman from Florida.
