Les gustan Huckabee en Miami

For ye non-Cuban socks in the dryer, that means "They like Huckabee in Miami."

This statement is made following last night's GOP debate broadcast on Spanish language station Univision, at which former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee once again wowed the crowd.

If you need further proof, note who joined the governor for breakfast this morning at La Carreta Restaurant in Miami:

Marco Rubio, Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives

and

David Rivera, chairman of the Rules Committee in the state legislature.

These two gentlemen are arguably the two most influential Hispanics in Florida state government.

And, they both formally endorsed Mike Huckabee in his campaign to become the next President of the United States.

He won them over not only with his stellar performance on Univision last night, but also because he shares their pro-family persepectives and demonstrated his commitment to freeing nearby Cuba from the shackles of Castro-style communism.

If the momentum continues in this direction, watch Rudy Giuliani's numbers here in the Sunshine State continue to fall as folks flock to Huckabee.

Oh, and try to catch Mike on Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9pm.

Go, Mike, go!

Is Michael Moore a covert agent for the GOP?!

You know who Michael Moore is, right? He's the mockumentarian who has come to personify the liberal elite. He essentially blamed President Bush for 9/11 in his last piece of tripe. And, his current masterpiece portrays Fidel Castro's communist regime down in Cuba as home to the world's best health care system.

Isn't this an extreme example of cognitive dissonance?! I mean, this bloated #)*(%#* wants the same federal government that he believes cannot successfully defend our homeland against terrorists to now be put in complete control of our $2 trillion health care system? Somehow, I doubt he sees the irony in his eagerness to socialize 17% of our domestic economy.

Fortunately, Mike Huckabee continues to be the voice of reason. He called Moore on the mat on this issue, pointing out that people from around the world come knocking on America's door when they need specialized medical care. You NEVER hear of anyone from anywhere rushing down to Havana when they're having a major health problem, do you?!

The former Arkansas governor conceded the US health care system does need some significant reform. For example, he cited the staggering statistic that 75% of our current expenditures are on TREATING disease, and suggested perhaps a greater slice of the pie should go to PREVENTING ailments in the first place. Of course, being proactive about our well-being would involve things Moore apparently finds abhorrent like excercise and sensible diet.

I can only hope that Huckabee's debate with Moore will achieve similar results as Fred Thompson enjoyed earlier this year, pushing him into "top tier candidate" status. We need to be hearing more of his sensible approaches to our country's myriad problems. And, if nothing else, the buffoonery of the leftists only gives common-sense people excellent opportunities to highlight their ignorance.

Go, Mike, go! (Mike H, that is . . .)
