I realize that I am preaching to the choir on Redstate when I say we need: Chuck DeVore, Marco Rubio and Marlin Stutzman in the US Senate. We do.
We need three firm votes in the Senate AGAINST bailouts, Obamacare and the many tax increases that our coming our way to pay for both. We need strong defenders of the 2nd amendment, life, traditional marriage and wait for it…REAL BORDER SECURITY!
In Marco, Chuck and Marlin we have candidates with strong and proven conservative principles. On a day when a candidate with no principles is about to switch to “No Party Affiliation” it’s nice to celebrate and support three conservative candidates who know what they believe – and why they believe it.
Learn more about each today and consider making a donation in support of their campaigns at:

randd Thursday, April 29th at 1:25PM EST (link)Thank you and HuckPac for all that you’re doing to share the mission of conservatism and the dire need we have for it in our country. These three stellar conservatives deserve our support for their mission to do the same. We are blessed by their desire to serve our states and country.
We also need David Madeira
nepanyrush Thursday, April 29th at 1:56PM EST (link)Thank you, Huckabee. I have gained increasingly respect for you in recent months as you have stood up to the GOP establishment in supporting conservatives.
In the 10th in PA, we also need David Madeira. He is the only true social and fiscal conservative in the race for Congress here. The incumbant, the Democrat Carney, has been pretending that he is a pro-life conservative, because this is a conservative area. Yet, he keeps voting for everything liberal. Maybe now that he also voted for the health care debacle (he said his constituents wanted it!), the citizens here finally realized he is a pretend conservative.
We got fooled in the past being told by party leaders to support Specter over Toomey. We cannot get fooled again by either the Democrat or the other phoney Republicans, one with seemingly ethical baggage. Madeira is as honest and consistently a conservative as they come.
You're Right!
lynnwalker Thursday, April 29th at 2:15PM EST (link)You’re absolutely right Governor!
It’s time for conservatives to stop the rhetoric and get these kinds of candidates elected. I am donating to each of their campaigns today!
Thanks for your leadership – your PAC serves as a standard for all the others. I have witnessed some of the work of your volunteer grassroots team. You prove that while money is necessary to win, it is far more important that the voters get engaged.
Keep it up!
Stutzman can't win. Hostettler can.
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 2:17PM EST (link)After the release of today’s poll numbers, we can safely say that Stutzman can’t beat Coats. But John Hostettler can. It’s a wonder Erickson ever endorsed Stutzman over Hostettler anyway, since Hostettler is more conservative and has demonstrated a greater record of proving he has what it takes to stand up to the RINO’s in the party leadership.
If ObamaCare and immigration are your issues, then Marlin has nothing on Hostettler. And again, the reason is that Hostettler has already proven he has what it takes, and Marlin hasn’t. Hostettler voted against Medicare Part D, and has made the repeal of ObamaCare a theme of his current campaign.
Hostettler was also one of the strongest opponents of amnesty for illegal immigrants we had in the House during Bush’s amnesty attempt. Don’t take my word for it.
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/search/node/hostettler
If any readers were considering supporting Marlin as a conservative alternative to Dan Coats, please vote for Hostettler instead. At this point, a vote for Marlin is a vote for Coats.
Old Poll Numbers
lynnwalker Thursday, April 29th at 3:22PM EST (link)The poll released today is old (7 days) – Stutzman camp has new internals showing huge gains. And with the recent endorsement of Gov. Huckabee that will continue.
Poll through Monday.
jmell7 Thursday, April 29th at 3:41PM EST (link)Actually the poll started 7 days ago and went through Monday the 26th. But in just a few more days we will all find out who was spinning and who was winning.
That's not what I heard...
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:15PM EST (link)But even still, if what you say is true, it will accomplish nothing but to help elect Coats. And it frankly would not surprise me a bit if Huckabee would be totally fine with that. Coats and Huckabee are two compassionate conservative peas in a pod. And Stutzman isn’t all that different from that type of Republican. But the last thing Huckabee would ever want to see is a right wing small government constitutionalist like Hostettler in the Senate.
I suppose you
eva3071 (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:19PM EST (link)have a problem with Redstate supporting Stutzman then. Does the last thing they would ever want to see is a right wing small government constitutionalist like Hostettler in the Senate ?

Of course I have a problem with it...

Or it could be

well, it could be that...
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 9:24PM EST (link)except, since Hostettler is beating Stutzman in the latest poll, and has beaten him so far in every poll, that explanation doesn’t fit too well.
Seriously, folks, this is no time to get stubborn. Do you want to beat Coats and have a serious conservative with a proven sense of independence from the party leadership in the Senate or not?
I couldn’t care less what people think about me. But for the sake of your country, conservatives, please unite behind Hostettler while you still can.
Based on your

Granny_T (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:52PM EST (link)Are you forgetting that Huckabee was endorsed by the Minuteman founder, Jim Gilchrist?
Huckabee has always promoted preventive medicine rather than socialistic health-care. You must not have done much homework during the 2008 Primaries.
not exactly
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:03PM EST (link)Who endorses whom doesn’t really tell you anything. Neither does someone’s partisan stand on a given bill of the other party.
Huckabee is and always has been weak on immigration, and for the welfare state.
Really, what business does government have involving itself in medicine at all? Whether that be promoting preventative care or anything else?
The case against Huckabee style big government Republicanism is too long to present here. But the National Taxpayers Review of his platform from his 2008 campaign is a good place to start.
http://www.ntu.org/ntuf/presidential-frontrunners-boost-budget.html
So I googled Jim Gilchrist endorsing Huckabee...
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:09PM EST (link)And it looks like it didn’t exactly go over too well with the anti-amnesty crowd. Might not be such a good example to use, unless the point of it is to deceive people.

Some of Stutzman's other endorsements
Granny_T (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:45PM EST (link)Stutzman was also endorsed by U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint and the Tea Party Action Coalition,
Stutzman received an A+ from the NRA
You say, “At this point, a vote for Marlin is a vote for Coats.”
WRONG! A vote for Stutzman is a vote for Stutzman.
Haha
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:59PM EST (link)There is no such thing as “the Tea Party Action Coalition.”
That’s a made up group that never existed until one week ago, and it was formed by 4 people just for the purpose of endorsing candidates so as to claim those candidates had tea party support. It’s a classic case of manufactured news.
Demint is eating crow right now, just like Erick Erickson is. Or maybe not. There’s another school of thought that says their endorsement of Stutzman was as much of an anti-Hostettler move as anything else, which definitely has a ring of truth to it.

Hostettler is the most conservative guy in the Indiana senate race, and he’s also the only one within reach of beating Coats. Stutzman is more of a Huckabee-style Republican and he hasn’t gotten higher than 18% in any polls, including the latest one from 3 days ago.

Could be
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 6:09PM EST (link)I can see how it looks that way. But what I’m really doing is just trying to get conservatives to rally behind Hostettler while they still can.
He’s the best candidate, and he’s the only one with a chance to beat Coats.
http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100429/LOCAL08/100429447&SAXOEdAjax=1&AjaxRequestUniqueId=127255182534620&template=printart
People who were thinking about Stutzman should consider those points.
the poll
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 6:13PM EST (link)According to that poll, even if 100% of the undecideds went to Stutzman, he still would trail Coats by more than the margin of error of the poll.
Hostettler’s at least still in the hunt.
If anybody really thinks they have some principled reason for voting for Stutzman over Hostettler, I’d love to hear what it is. Because whatever it is, it’s definitely not that Stutzman is more conservative on any issues.
Guns
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:14PM EST (link)And if the right to keep and bear arms is an issue you care about, once again, you just can’t do any better than Hostettler. They don’t come any better.
The difference between Hostettler and Stutzman on the 2nd Amendment is that Hostettler has a longer more proven record as a leader on the issue and as someone who has what it takes to make a difference on the issue at the federal level.
http://gunowners.org/op02112010tm.htm
That, and the fact that Hostettler is within reach of beating Coats and Stutzman isn’t, should be a good clue to conservatives of what the better course for them is.
Provide more Details with Records to back up your statements..
DavidS1787 (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:34PM EST (link)1. From the Indiana Senate with the votes of yeas and Nays.
2. John Hostettler votes on the key issues while he represented the 8th Congressoinal District of Indiana in theU.S. House of Representatives .
I say make your best case why Hosterrler should win over Stutzman in a diary.
Then let the people decide……
That's easy
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:59PM EST (link)The lists of yeas and nays are too long to copy and paste. They’re available in various places, such as in.gov for Stutzman, and the Washington Post voting records data for Hostettler. And I’d argue that you need to look at more than just how they voted on the bills that came to a vote, but on what they did behind the scenes as well in sponsoring and authoring legislation and in impacting what did and didn’t make it to the floor for a vote.
Hostettler voted against Medicare D, against No Child Left Behind, against tons of appropriations bills, against any and every tax increase. He sponsored bills to eliminate the depts. of Education, Energy, and Commerce. He introduced a bill to eliminate income tax withholding. He introduced and successfully got passed in the House the Freedom of Expressions of Religion Act (which the Senate never voted on). He successfully added an amendment to an appropriations bill to prohibit any funds from being used to enforce the court ruling that Judge Roy Moore remove the 10 Commandments from his court house. His first act after taking office in 1995 was to sign on as a cosponsor of a bill to repeal the Brady Bill and assault weapons ban. He was instrumental in stopping Bush’s amnesty from getting voted on in the House after the Senate had passed it. His record is full of occasions of him standing up against not only the Democrats, but also the leadership of his own party.
Stutzman also has a good voting record. But it’s at the state level, and it’s by and large a party-line Republican voting record. He doesn’t have the same proof of being able to stand up to his own party’s leadership, particularly at the federal level that Hostettler has. He also has some marks against him, such as this:
http://hoosieraccess.com/blog/2010/04/20/which-senate-candidate-was-for-a-tax-increase-before-he-was-against-it/
You might also consider watching some of the recent debate. Hostettler was a man among boys. Stutzman was just out of his league. It’s available cut up into a bunch of parts as the most recent videos on this Youtube channel.

payingattention Thursday, April 29th at 7:54PM EST (link)On taxes: Huckabee was the first governor in DECADES who actually lowered taxes in Arkansas. And he pushed sweeping tax cuts through while working with an overwhelmingly Democrat legislature. The only taxes that were increased in Arkansas…during Huckabee’s 10 1/2 years as governor…. were either passed by a statewide ballot referendum (much-needed road improvements), or court-ordered mandates (educational reforms & funding). That’s why Huckabee was re-elected…TWICE. Do a Search for Dick Morris’ article, “Mike Huckabee is a Fiscal Conservative.” Full of facts & figures.
Oh! My side!
e_rowe (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 8:04PM EST (link)You mean the same Dick Morris who also thought Clinton was a fiscal conservative? For crying out loud, on the Dick Morris scale, every Republican is a fiscal conservative.
I’ve got some bad news for you. Huckabee didn’t cut taxes, he shuffled them around, and raised them overall. He spent other peoples’ money like a drunken trophy wife. And he took every opportunity he could to promise to do the same if he got elected President (e.g. SCHIP).
Here’s a thought, how about researching Huckabee’s lack of fiscal conservatism using sources who actually have some grasp of what it means to be a fiscal conservative. Try any of the following: Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, National Taxpayers Union, Club for Growth.
Just be prepared for a disappointment.
Funny,

You also must have missed that you really don’t need to go through a trail from link to link when he presented enough facts just in that article to prove Huckabee’s not anything remotely close to a fiscal conservative. If you need to be spoon fed more facts, let me know, and I’ll go hunt down those governors report cards which will refer to the specific policies of his on which is grades of D and F were based. I’ll also bring up the National Taxpayers Union study of the 2008 presidential candidates that shows Huckabee promised by far more new spending than any other Republican, and would increase federal spending by an amount 3 times as large as Romney (the next most fiscally liberal Republican in that race). And if I need to I’ll just keep getting more.
On second thought, it’s all out there, if you don’t want to know about it, it would be a waste of my time to find it for you.
Or
eva3071 (Diary) Friday, April 30th at 9:43AM EST (link)you couldn’t be bothered with bringing hard numbers to back up your assertation. That’s okay, after all, the last thing I would want to hear from is a sore loser like you. Get over yourself.

He said he would have been the 4th GOP vote for the “stimulus”. He wasn’t purged by party bosses- far from it. He was endorsed by those cronies in Washington. What he couldn’t win was the support of THE PEOPLE.

Rubio on immigration...
harlan Thursday, April 29th at 7:30PM EST (link)Here’s what Marco Rubio has to say on his website about immigration:
IMMIGRATION: “Legal immigration has been a great source of strength and prosperity for America, but I believe illegal immigration threatens the foundation of this system. If I had been in the Senate at the time, I would have opposed the McCain-Kennedy bill. I believe we must fix our immigration system by first securing the border, fixing the visa and entry process and opposing amnesty in any reform.”
The reason I posted this…Yesterday I heard a pro-Crist person on the radio claim the exact opposite re: Rubio’s position. And he was not corrected.
Conservative pundits on radio and t.v. CANNOT continue to allow anti-conservatives to skew the conversation with bogus facts. Not if we hope to win in the future.

Oh, and I don’t expect an answer. You keep posting diaries at RS like a privileged Troll. You stop by our house, pump yourself and run off until the next time.
Normally
eva3071 (Diary) Friday, April 30th at 9:46AM EST (link)wouldn’t the PACs give the financial report at the quarterly ? You could just simply look at that.
Last I recall, Huck did the same thing Mike Pence, Tom Coburn, and the other politicians do when they post on here. You can’t really condemn Huck without condemning everybody else.
Order is born from discord. And a single thought can change the world. After all, nothing is ever set in stone.
The others don't come trolling in here patting themselves on the back. nt

Yep. And I found your picture.

Well maybe
red_baron Friday, April 30th at 2:58PM EST (link)But I’m not sure about that. The Romney pac in just the last month has given out $79,400 in cash to 29 Republican candidates across 5 states. And that doesn’t include fundraisers and other help. All that information is on his pac page apparently with links to donate either to his pac or to the individual candidates.
Appreciate your endorsement Gov. Huckabee...BUT
qurys Friday, April 30th at 10:58AM EST (link)Could you or Sen. DeMint or anyone else go out on a limb and endorse a candidate for Senate in the Republican primary in Arkansas. It is one of the weakest of the weak in the Democratic column up for bids in November. There is a large slate of candidates topped by not the least of which is a sitting US Congressman who was the ONLY vote against healthcare in the entire state but kept remarkably silent about that vote, another sitting State senator who has been in the politics business for years and years. I realize that you have family on the staff of a candidate but that should not keep you from making a principled conservative endorsement. I also realize that there is a consideration given to the ability to raise money, but a conservative endorsement has given a leg up to several candidates who were otherwise unknown and strapped for funds. So…where are the Arkansas endorsements?
Marlin Stutzman for Indiana
tamismiller Sunday, May 2nd at 11:58PM EST (link)I could not agree more with Governor Huckabee. We definitely need 3 strong votes in the Senate against bailouts and Marlin Stutzman is the one to do this for Indiana! Marlin is unabashedly conservative. He is in this race, not for himself, but for his family and the people of the great State of Indiana. We need more farmers in Washington – men and women who know what it is to run a small business and keep it running on a budget! They know how to stretch the dollar and get more bang for their bucks. Attention all Hoosiers: Vote Marlin Stutzman for US Senate on Tuesday, May 4, 2010!
