Yep. He did it. The honest, civil campaign of McCain against Huckabee has gone out the window, along with his honor, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, even if I disagreed with his votes/actions in the Senate, I still admired his POW service and thought that he was honorable.
Today (February 18, 2008) McCain's campaign placed automated calls to Wisconsin voters, some of them with his wife's recorded message.
In the recording, the speaker says that McCain supports or believes in "Faith, Family and Freedom," which obviously is - and has always been - Governor Huckabee's motto. It has a logo on Huckabee's website. It's on the side of the Huckabee bus. It's on posters and bumper stickers. It's Huckabee's logo.
There are many many Huckabee supporters in Wisconsin who have this robo-call message - complete with the STOLEN MOTTO - recorded on their voicemail.
Does McCain want his opponents to call and leave deceiptful messages that they are the "Straight Talk" candidate?
McCain just flat out STOLE Huckabee's Motto - and more importantly - MISREPRESENTED himself to the people of Wisconsin. Why? Because he wanted to appear to be Huckabee because he's too weak to earn their votes honestly.
By all means, Senator, feel free to use any means - including stealing - to accomplish your "ends" of a "consolidated party." (Oh wait, wasn't there a former GOP President that thought the same way - yes, I think it was in 1968 - didn't he do something similar - try to steal something I think from the Dems - in a DC hotel maybe - what was that hotel called - Water-something?)
[Want to read about the first-hand experiences with these robo-calls from McCain that use Huckabee's motto? Go to the www.mikehuckabee.com blogs for today, Feb. 18, 2008 and read some of the Huckabee supporters' comments.]

My Open Letter to John McCain & the GOP
Dear John,
Any GOP candidate who wants to "consolidate" the party, and who refuses to
use a nationally televised debate v. other GOP'ers to do so, is either:
1. too weak and/or too lame
2. giving lip service to the idea of "consolidating" the Party, and is so
foolish that he actually believes he can win the National Elec. w/o
consolidating it
3. is lying when he says he will out-campaign, out-debate and out-perform
the Dem's - if you can't do it in your own camp, you can't do it against
the opposition.
"Good luck" with your continued attempts to pressure the thinking American
public & smart Republicans into backing you without you doing the actual
work. BTW, I'm not an evangelical, I'm more of a New Age spiritualist who
disagrees w/Huckabee on his family values platform, so you've gotta ask
yourself, "Why isn't she voting for me?"
Maybe you should give me the decency and respect of telling me why I
should vote for you - in a debate v. your only true opponent - Huckabee -
without the Romney static. In my eyes, along with all of my friends - who
were former Rudy & Mitt supporters & who STILL don't like you & yet
believe Mike won't make it - you never won any of the debates.
John, if you fail in a Feb 08 GOP Debate, you sure as heck are going to
fail in the Fall. So, you might as well debate now and reach a conclusion
of:
1. You've got to improve your debating skills
OR
2. You've got to withdraw because you'll cause the Party to fail in Nov.
Think of it this way: If Huckabee should drop out now because he won't win
in upcoming primaries, or he won't win in a Contested RNC, then logically,
you should drop out now because you won't win in November - against either
Dem candidate. Hillary will out-debate you on substance, and Obama will
out-debate you as a communicator and inspirational speaker.
With regard to your debate style & discussion of substance beyond the
bullet points & national security - the line of "just ask my friend _____,
he'll tell you how tough I am on ____, " - As Dr. Phil says, "How's that
workin' for ya?"
Not too well for you, John, not too well for either you or the Party.
[And, woe to the "king" who is deluded by the "yes-men" with whom he
surrounds himself.]

Huckabee up 32 pts in Wisconsin Poll - within 4% margin of error (ARG)
According to the latest American Research Group Poll dated 2/16/08 for Wisconsin:
Huckabee 42%
McCain 46%
Huckabee has gained 32 points since the 6th.
Margin of error +/-4%
AND Undecideds are 7% - greater than the difference between Huckabee & McCain!
http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres08/wirep8-702.html
Oh yeah, that McCain is just goin' to town "building momentum" and "consolidating" that conservative base of the Party with all of that "name-dropping" campaigning of his!
