Reporting in From The Bus

[weatherman91]

As I predicted, Mike has won second place in the straw poll. Now, he's on his way to being a front runner.

[blondtrumpet1]

I guess the Paulites are scared if they are flocking to and spamming Huckabee's videos.

[alansready]

i would love Ron Paul to win and make this a great country again. we ned to restore a constitionaly limited government

[weatherman91]

Note also that those figures are percentages, not numbers of people. (402 likely caucus participants were surveyed in this ABC News poll).

[weatherman91]

That's just a snippet of all the results. You want the rest? Here: Mitt Romney - 26 Rudy Giuliani - 14 Fred Thompson - 13 Mike Huckabee - 8 John McCain - 8 Sam Brownback - 5 Tom Tancredo - 5 Tommy Thompson - 4 Ron Paul - 2 Duncan Hunter - 1

[Flixette]

Go Governor Huckabee! On to a win at the straw poll!

[speciallyblend]

under the fear tactics by bush and the republicans we should have a war on cars since they are more a threat to american lives then terrorist,look at how many americans have been killed by cars vs terrorist,i am not afraid of terrorist,its called fear mongering bush feared americans into thinking they need goverment to take care of them,americans take care of themselves,americans should be scared of cars more then terrorists cars have killed more americans then any jihad

[weatherman91]

Again with the absurd comparisons. Terrorists threaten our very way of life. Cars do not. I'm done with this argument.

[speciallyblend]

yes then we fight the terrorist not invade countries the whole point you miss is freakin declare war first,the sarcasm was the point bush should just attack anyone who could be an enemy,read the constitution,it says declare war first not start them because there might be a reason thats why we declare war first,the debates should of happened before we went to iraq not after thats the main point and republicans arent for smaller gov anymore

[speciallyblend]

the patriotic act threatens americans way of life more then the terrorist have,the patriotic act was passed out of fear,once again if you give freedom up for security you have neither,i believe that was jefferson who said that on point

[speciallyblend]

Huckabee your a great guy but if you support bushes position then your just another bush/hillary same people move on you can be better then the bush/clintons,we are over both parties dont be a bush

[speciallyblend]

Good luck,sorry im voting for Ron Paul,but you would make a good vp for ron paul.If ron paul doesnt win the nomination or the republican party doesntchange to his platform ,no amount of money will allow the republicans to win.WHATS UP WITH FOX NEWS,I MEAN ITS GREAT TO HEAR YOU BUT ,I THINK RON PAUL WILL WIN THE IOWA POLL,IF HE IS 1ST OR 2ND RON PAUL WINS,HELP SAVE OUR COUNTRY SUPPORT RON PAUL ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN WILL LOSE THE NATIONAL ELECTION,IM THE SWING VOTER,IM OVER BOTH PARTIES SORRY CAPS

[weatherman91]

I don't think Huckabee would be the VP for someone who knows nothing about foreign policy.

[speciallyblend]

maybe you need to learn what blowback is if we had mexican troops patrolling our streets and meddling with our goverment(for over 40 yrs) ,we would be shooting them as an occupying force.Fact is your foreign policy from both democrats and republicans have created saddam hussein and the taliban,who funded and created the taliban? the democrats and republicans, RON PAUL will beat Huckabee in the iowa strawpoll,we will see sat wont we.RON PAUL2008

[weatherman91]

Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance against Huckabee in the Straw Poll. Huckabee will take 2nd. Look at the polls. Iowans don't want to support a defeatist agenda.

[speciallyblend]

we will see on sunday and if they support huckabee then the republicans will not have a chance at winning the next election if they dont change their platform to small gov and anti war then they will lose no matter how much money they spend,we willsee on sunday but if the republicans dont change their message to ron pauls they wont win period no debate needed,america is over the neo-cons

[weatherman91]

Their platform is small government. They don't need to change it.

[speciallyblend]

small goverment,they have spent more then the democrats in the last 8yrs ,no small goverment,might be in platform but a lie

[speciallyblend]

small goverment isnt suppose to infringe on our liberties or spend more money then the democrats ,bush republicans and romney mcain and rudolf are all bush/hillary big goverment loving republicans.the last 8 yrs The republican party has made the democrats look conservative on spending.Hillary obama rudolf mccain romney are all big goverment liberals.

[moebeel]

yea for real man go and rig some more online voter polls.

[speciallyblend]

no one is rigging anything the polls that track email addresses also have ron paul in large lead No one is spamming polls see you sat for the iowa straw poll,i guess your against small gov and freedom and liberty it must piss you off that many support ron paul Cnet did a story and ron paul is huge all over the net no one could spam that much and CNET tells you this they researched it Ron Paul 2008

[speciallyblend]

no one is rigging polls,Cnet has a podcast about Ron Paul no spammer could make ron paul the highest rated all over the net on all topics.see you on sat,i guess if ron paul wins then ,you will have another pointless excuse

[weatherman91]

Paul won't win; if you need a reason, here's the results from the last Iowa poll.

Mike Huckabee 8

Ron Paul 2

[speciallyblend]

10 people hmm very scientific

[speciallyblend]

we have interfered with almost every middle eastern gov(in the last 50 yrs,cia),yeah great policy.and we have started 3 wars with no declaring of war,these debates we are having should of happened before we invaded iraq not after ,both heads of the parties and bush should be arrested for violating our constitution.I'm seeing you love big goverment liberal policys from the republicans your starting to sound like hillary clinton.

[speciallyblend]

sarcasm we should bomb mexico china and south america since they might be an enemy in 10 yrs if not now,pre emptive strike ,yeah what a great idea,how about declaring war first like the constitution says oo republicans like bigger gov like the democrats yeah u should become a green party memeber you dont sound republican

[weatherman91]

If you would stop making such radical statements and absurd comparisons I might just be able to understand your argument.

[speciallyblend]

please explain whats absurd if you support the war you support the war.nothing absurd about what i said its the truth,both our parties funded saddam and created the taliban maybe you need to read more about proxy wars and the cia

[weatherman91]

Oh, I don't know...maybe this?

"sarcasm we should bomb mexico china and south america since they might be an enemy in 10 yrs if not now,"

You can't compare the Iraq War to invading our allies. That is an absurd comparison.

[speciallyblend]

iraq was an ally we gave them billions over 20 yrs the point is you declare war first not after you invaded ,

[speciallyblend]

whats radical is war mongering republicans ,Ron Paulisnt a defeatist,he wants to protect america,not make up wars,there were no al-queda in iraq until we invaded.The reason muslims hate america is we have meddled in their internal affairs for over 50 years Morekilled by cars then any terrorist.If the terroristcould of passed the patirot act they would of but our parties did exactly what they wanted to,take our freedoms which bush has done ,if you give up freedom for security,you have neither.

[weatherman91]

Sure... America will be safe when we cut and run from Iraq and the entire Middle Eastern region is in an exponentially higher amount of turmoil than before. Yeah, he's going to "protect America" alright.

[speciallyblend]

i didnt say cut and run i said remove our troops from the civil war,we can have a presence,just dont put them in the line of fire

we wouldnt be in this mess if we had just declared war first.We basically helped iran by defeating saddam who the republicans and democrats funded for over 20 yrs yeah what a great foreign policy send billions to your enemys then attack them after we propped them up for years yeah great policy

[speciallyblend]

well we actually caused the turmoil when we placed troops on islamic soil in saudi arabia and we formed the taliban in a proxy war to fight the russians,we actually caused most of the turmoil you speak of.the fact is the democrats and republicans funded the taliban and saddam,we encouraged the turmoil you are talking about

[JScottH2]

God Bles You, I pray for you every night that you will win. God said that He brings up or takes down leaders of the nations, and if he wants you to be president, I believe He will allow it. Huckabee 08!

[wyattmcintyre]

Doing a great job, I have been impressed with your tour.

[chukmaty]

Keep up the great work Mike... your vision and ability to articulate it have won supporters and will win many more. God bless!

[jvsears]

Gov. Huckabee,

I was very impressed with your comments made during the ABC debates Sunday. You're steadily wining my vote! So glad you're updating on YouTube -- I live and work in Turkey as a teacher, so the internet is the only way I can keep up with the political race. Glad to have found your channel!

All the best!

-- Joe
