Huckabee Flip Flops on Going Negative

The Huckabee campaign has taken a bizarre turn this afternoon.

The former Arkansas governor announced a press conference in Des Moines, Iowa Monday afternoon to launch a negative attack ad on his rival former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and go after what he thinks are Romney's flip-flops.

But then, Huckabee said, he changed his mind. He didn't want to launch the ad.

Huckabee now says he will run a positive campaign, even though he's been calling Romney "dishonest" since Friday, spoke to the press surrounded by placards slamming Romney, and has a passage on his website comparing Romney to Seinfeld's lying friend George Costanza.

"It's never too late to do the right thing," Huckabee told reporters.

Huckabee took the unusual step of showing the media the anti-Romney TV ad, the one he said he told TV stations to pull from the airwaves.

No soup for you!

In a sign that the Iowa Republican caucuses has taken a particularly dastardly turn, the campaign of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Sunday began comparing its chief rival in this state, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, to the most notorious of all fictional characters in modern pop culture -- George Costanza.

Referring to the 6th season episode of Seinfeld, "The Beard," in which Jerry is coached by George as to how he can beat a lie detector test (in order to maintain a claim that he had never watched "Melrose Place"), Huckabee's campaign said that the Romney standard for truth-telling is comparable to Costanza's memorable advice that closes this scene, from the February 9, 1995 episode:

JERRY: So George, how do I beat this lie detector?

GEORGE: I'm sorry, Jerry I can't help you.

JERRY: Come on, you've got the gift. You're the only one that can help me.

GEORGE: Jerry, I can't. It's like saying to Pavarotti, "Teach me to sing like you."

JERRY: All right, well I've got to go take this test. I can't believe I'm doing this.

GEORGE: Jerry, just remember. It's not a lie... if you believe it.

The Huckabee campaign then lists a litany of incidents of what it calls "Romney's pattern of economizing with the truth," including Romney's disputed assertion that he "saw" his father march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his faulting of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for failing "Reagan 101" for opposing President Bush's tax cuts -- when Romney at the time also said he didn't approve of the Bush tax cut proposals, yada yada yada.

Jason Alexander, who played Costanza, could not be reached to comment on what it's like to have his character compared to Mitt Romney.

Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Before you pull the Bush one on me to disprove that, I may remind you that Bush is not sincere. He panders to that crowd but doesn't believe a word of it. Does he go to those Bapto-domes for church? Hell no.

even they have to know that he is the only one who won't make people run screaming for their lives. McCain has probably kissed enough loony fundie ass (the W hug and the Falwell thing) to satisfy them.

don't forget Newt is still out there somewhere.

the debates should be fun. i'm scared.

too old too all over the place (longer Senate record) and he will lose it by the time the election gets here.

Not counting chickens but if I were to bet on it I can't imagine anyone on the other side winning-not anymore people have seen through that crap that they used to not get W laughed out of the room.

Newt promising to save the wingnuts from Hillary. But I think he renaged.

Eddie Haskel, from "Leave it to "Beaver."

"That's a nice pantsuit you're wearing, Mrs. Clinton."

How anyone can vote for Romney the tool is beyond me. I feel
sorry for the Republicans this year. Their candidate pale
in comparison to the stellar line up the Dems have.

:rofl:

:popcorn:

but scary what they can do and have done.

Kramer? :shrug:

Frank Costanza. SERENETY NOW!! SERENETY NOW!! Insanity later.:rofl:

so there! :P

Romney and Huckabee are both morons. I wish they'd both take a flying leap.

I can't believe they would even attempt to reach him. LOL!!
