SCOOP: Huckabee's Plea for Help---NOW You Need Them...
MIKE HUCKABEE LETTER TO REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS!!!
I checked and this is the first place you'll see this. Mike Huckabee has decided that now is a good time to ask Republican legislators for their help. Too bad when they needed his help he wasn't there.
The truth is Mike Huckabee walked all over Republican legislators and average Republican committee members. His policy was that you're either with him or you're against him. The worst part is that the orthodoxy he demanded was for his liberal agenda. To illustrate my point, if he were still governor, he wouldn't be asking in a nice way. He would be threatening and scolding like he used to.
Phyllis Schlaffly is right. Mike Huckabee did leave this party in a shambles. Now he's bragging about how he built it? There is a reason why Huckabee only has the support of a few legislators. Read the other posts on this blog and you'll see why. And there's much more to come.
Huck complains that Betsy Hagan and Randy Minton are distorting the truth. It's remarkable that not one current legislator has "corrected" the record. The truth is that they told the truth. I think a reporter would do well to call Republican legislators and ask not only their response to this letter but their response to the supposed distortion of his record.
This desperation is the biggest joke I've seen in a long time. Huckabee's been getting heat about not having the support of Arkansas legislators. He doesn't have the support of the average Arkansas Republican, either, or the average Arkansan, for that matter.
The most remarkable number from the latest U 0f A poll is that Huck is only polling 8% in Arkansas. There's a reason for that, lots of them.
Here's the letter. Try not to laugh too much. For those of you who don't know Mike, personally, consider how odd it is that he has to ask for their support this late in the game. I'd be really surprised if he picked up more than a handful more to support him.
One last thing, Huckabee needs to fire his copy editor because this letter is full of typos and a few wrong words.

Re: Your Support
Friends, I want to let you know that we are experience (sic) great success on every front for the campaign. The truth is that our success is surprising most everyone nationally but it is no surprise to you or me. As Republicans in Arkansas we have a long track record of taking on difficult task (sic), overcoming tremendous challenges and winning battles no one thought we could win. It is true that like any family we do not always see eye to eye on every issue but overall we have locked arms over and over again to fight for better government and to advance conservative causes in Arkansas (Note that he says "causes" plural. It is very telling that he actually doesn't see a singular conserative movement, but many "conservative causes".) . The truth is that we had great success together in cutting taxes, passing pro-life legislation, fighting for the family, improving education and highways and making government more efficient. I look back with tremendous pride on all we achieved in spite of being in the minority! Also, together we appointed Republicans to every board and commission for the first time in Arkansas history!
Some of my best memories are not just the ones at the Capitol in the battles we took on but are the days we spent together out in Arkansas. It was my privilege to give PAC monies to our candidates, write letters of support for them, host fundraisers and travel from town to town on their behalf. Whether it was a bus tour for Asa or a local dinner for a legislative candidate we worked hard together to get our team elected. I do not regret one moment of it (That's the problem). I cherish these memories of campaigning with many of you side by side.
Now I need your help. As you know our campaign is doing very well. The Iowa Caucus is just 64 days away and we are now in second place and climbing.Recent national polls place me in third place among the GOP candidates. As you can imagine this type of success has caused attacks against me and my record in Arkansas to begin. I need you to help me spread the truth about my tenor (sic-tenure?). In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal it was disappointing to read the criticisms of Randy Minton and Betsy Hagan, as I had campaigned to help elect Randy and have known and loved Betsy for such a long time (I'd love to hear from Betsy what she thought of their relationship.). They do not represent the vast majority of Republicans in our state as evidenced by those who have rallied to us since these broadsides were launched in the national press. They are certainly not the spokesperson (sic) for our party nor did they paint an accurate picture (What exactly was inaccurate about the picture, Mike?). I need you to help tell the story of all we did together to make Arkansas better and how hard I fought to help our team get elected and see our party grow (The party did grow for a while, but during the last few years it got smaller).
I am honored to have the endorsement of John Paul Hammerschmidt, Tim Hutchinson, Asa Hutchinson, John Boozman, Jay Dickey, and a long list of past and present GOP legislators. I am asking you today to help me. Please sign on today and join the "Arkansas Republican Leaders for Huckabee". We need every one of you on board. Chad Gallagher will be following up with you. You can join this team today by emailing him at mailto:atchad.gallagher@legacyincorporated.com
I will never forget all our hard work together to make Arkansas a better place and now together again we can take the next step to serve our country! Thanks in advance for your support and help.
With Gratitude,
MIKE HUCKABEE

You can always count on Mike Huckabee to call or write whenever HE needs YOUR help. Where was he when the rest of us were trying to build a Republican party in Arkansas?
Thank you Mike Huckabee for 10 years of stagnation and regression.
I guess the Huckster's budget doesn't allow for an editor or proof reader.
Is Karen Ray now having her staff do work for Huckabee? You would think the man who was governor and would be president could send a note to sitting legislators without having to use the RPA mailing list.
Is this work by the RPA going to be realized as an in-kind contribution to the Huckabee for President Campaign? If not, it could be a violation of campaign finance law.
Could that letter be any more impersonal? I suppose it's appropriate considering how he's treated us for the last 11 years.
Typical Huckabee, he has to go after the people who disagree with him. Bringing up Betsy and Randy reminds me of the bad old days when he was governor. When you got out of line he'd exact vengeance. He couldn't ever just let people agree to disagree.
I'm also reminded how he always reminds us that we OWE him. Oh okay, you appointed a bunch of people. Who cares? A lot of them are glad to be democrats again.
Where are all of these Republicans that Huckabee says he helped over the years? Where are Huckbee's Arkansas Travelers?
Either there is something wrong with hundreds of Arkansas Republicans, or there is something wrong with one man, Mike Huckabee. People in Arkansas know the truth about Mike Huckabee.
Either there is something wrong with hundreds of Arkansas Republicans, or there is something wrong with one man, Mike Huckabee.
Or it could be BOTH. Arkansas Republicans are FUBAR.
I agree. Ask any Republican Party member from Oklahoma or Missouri. They will tell you that the Republican Party in Arkansas is composed of a bunch of crazies that they won't even want to associate with, especially the ARRA folks.
I'm an Oklahoma Republican Assembly member, and I promise you, I keep a my distance from that bunch of freaks.
How is Jason Brady doing with the campaign? If I am correct, he was Huckabee's right hand man for years. There was nobody as loyal to Mike Huckabee as Jason Brady. I haven't been keeping up, what's he doing now, is he Huckabee's campaign manager or press secretary or something?
I'm more interested in the rumours surrounding Chad Rocket's abrupt departure.
Chad was diddling Sarah Huckabe whille still married.
It looks like Staci just forwarded the message to the blog or someone associated with the blog. I promise you Karen is being very careful to remain neutral.
Huckabee has his own list. He had a strangle hold on the RPA for 10 years. I would bet his list looks alot like the RPA list.
Exactly what "staff" do you think the RPA has? They have Karen and Staci, that's all.
